Achilleas finally found his way to the new XO’s temp office. ‘Starbases are a lot harder to navigate than a ship.’ Was the thought in his mind when he stopped in front of the door and rang the chime.

CSO Petrakos

“Come on in,” came the clear reply.

Dira was sitting at the desk and not for the first time since she had officially started as XO did she wish she had a slightly larger space where she could at least have a couple more comfortable chairs or a sofa. So many years of having her office be a place where people came to deal with uncomfortable things required the office itself to be comfortable. Her spartan space right now was livened up by a chartreuse plant with heart-shaped leaves on long stems. And that was all she had, but she didn’t expect to be here all that long.

The XO herself was a intensely thoughtful person, whose dark eyes watched the CSO (whom she only recognized because she had reviewed al the personnel files) as he entered. Dira gave him a smile and gestured to the chairs at her desk, her medium brown hand moving in a fluid motion. “Join me Lieutenant, won’t you?”

Achilleas stepped inside with an inquiring look of the accommodations on his face and an easy smile, “Could they have found you a smaller closet Commander?” he quipped before taking a seat. His green eyes took in the woman in front of him while he clasped his hands in his lap.

Myqian laughed and gave him a grin. “Well, I did say I could work with whatever they had, but next time I know to be more specific,” she said, a glimmer of amusement in her eyes.

“You’re our Chief Science Officer, yes?” she asked, glad they already had something of a relaxed rapport from the get-go.

Achilleas nodded and grinned in return, “I am yes. Recently given the position truth be told. Kind of inherited the job when we were stuck in whatever dimensional space damaged the Ogawa. My staff and I are still pouring over the sensor data to add to Starfleet’s database. If our experience and misfortune can help others then it will have been worth it.”

CSO Petrakos

She folded her arms on the desk, leaning in slightly. While not her realm of expertise at all, she was immensely curious about the Ogawa’s recent predicament inside the subspace bubble and she had to admit to looking forward to reading whatever further reports came out of it. “And how are you and your team doing given we’re all stuck on the starbase for the time being?”

Achilleas looked at the ceiling for a moment to collect his thoughts before meeting the eyes of the XO again, “About as can be expected I think. We’re not in our own space and that can be disconcerting, but once me and my staff focus in on something that uncomfortable feeling tends to pass. At least we have something to busy ourselves with and that helps.”
