It had been right on time and so had she. When she had received the message that a friend of hers from her MEP team days was going to be crossing her path again, she jumped at the chance to meet up. She and Vauma Jiled had kept in touch often over the years, providing an often necessary place to vent about the various difficulties of their work (without breaking confidentiality of course).

In her duty uniform, Myqian was down at the airlock where the Starfleet transport ship Hestra was currently docking. While not the only person down there, a quick glance told her she was one of the higher ranking officers of the group. She sifted back and forth on her feet as she waited.

Alexis was startled out of her reading of the latest medical journal by the jolt of the docking clamps. She stood up, a small shoulder bag, big enough for a couple PaDDs and her tricorder to fit, the only thing she carried. Her trunk would be transferred directly to Ogawa for her. She joined the line to get off the transport. It had been cramped, and luckily the trip from Hathaway, for her, had been short. Once through the airlock the ensign on duty stopped her.

“Lt. Bonner?” she nodded, “Ogawa is still undergoing refit. You will be housed here on the star base until it’s ready. Your things will be sent there and we’ll get it transferred automatically to Ogawa when it’s time.” He handed her a PaDD with her room and information about the base as well as information about where to find the command team for Ogawa. She nodded, “Thank you Ensign.”

Dira’s attention was pulled away from the influx of people at the mention of the Ogawa, but she couldn’t immediately see who the comment referred to.

Alexis stepped past the line to make room for the next person. There was a crowd waiting, and she was eager to get past it. She wanted to find her berth and then get to sickbay. Just as she was almost past the crowd she spotted Cmdr. Myqian. Alexis made a straight bee-line for her. “Cmdr. Myqian. Lt. Bonner, the new AMO for Ogawa. It’s a pleasure.” Alexis was thrilled that the XO was there. Now she could get to work faster. Her mind was already processing the new techniques she’d read in the journal and she was eager to try it with a holographic test run.

Dira smiled at the Bonner, though it took her a moment to place the woman, despite her announcing her position. But it was matching that name to the image she had seen a short while that helped her make the connection. “I would say welcome to the Ogawa, but well…” She gave an apologetic grin. “But our crew has been rotating in with the Starbase’s crew where needed and people are keeping mostly busy.”
