Posted by Lieutenant Zoi Haven (Chief of Security) in CO’s Office: The new COS’s in town
Zoi had not really spent any time with their captain since she came on board over a year ago. It was not unusual for crew members to rarely, if ever, see their captain. Afterall, the captain was the most busy of all the crew and also the most isolated from the day to day operations of the ship. When Rico left, Zoi had been put in charge of the security crew of the Ogawa, it was in a rather hasty way due to the mid mission needs. She accepted this, as the highest ranking security officer, but she wanted to meet the Captain to get a better feel of what they wanted for this ship and its crew.

Willow yawned and stretched at her desk. Picking up her glass she realised belatedly she was out of iced tea. Raising she moved to the replicator only to stop when she heard the notification on the computer. She paused and reading it realised she hadn’t properly spoken to Zoi. That was a mistake, and one she should correct.

She sat again and opened a really but paused and then standing again headed to the security office. She paused just inside the door and looked around.

The office was in mid transfer. A medium sized case sat open on the table in the middle of the room filled with random trinkets and obviously personal items that had belonged to the previous COS. Zoi stood with her back to the door, picking up the last framed item from a shelf she had been clearing. She turned around to place it in the box and noticed the Captain right away.

“Oh Captain Taylor. I am sorry. I did not mean you had to come down here. I would have come to you.” She smiled and placed the items carefully in the case. She had not personally spoken to the Captain and though she had been a Security officer longer than Taylor had been alive, Zoi still felt a rush of normal anxiety that came when meeting your superior for the first time. “Rico left in such a hurry that he did not have time to pack up his office. I am sending everything via courier by the end of the day so I needed to finish this.”

Willow watched and smiled warmly with a nod. “That’s kind, can I help at all?” She asked moving further into the office, “And not at all, I could use the excuse to stretch my legs truth be told.”
