Posted by Lieutenant Commander Jessica Vaughn (XO) in Station Commander’s Office: Reporting In Stepping onto the Operations Deck, Sofia was aware of a few people noticing her presence. She wasn’t the hardest person to miss, at nearly six feet tall with exotic olive skin, an aristocratic face framed by long, silky jet-black hair that was secured in a single plait that hung nearly halfway down her back. Then it was the eyes, the dark eyes denoting her predominantly Betazoid heritage. Her uniform was security gold of course and immaculately pressed as she liked to make a good first impression. : : : : : : : : : : : : She paid the stares little mind though, she had an objective in mind coming here, stepping off to the left where her review of the Outpost’s specs indicated the Station Commander’s Office would be. Pressing the chime, she waited for admittance so she could meet her new Captain and he could meet his new Security Chief. : : : : : : : : : : : : ~Sofia Demakis~ : : : : : : : : : : “Enter” would be the response that the new Stations security chief would be greeted when the doors opened the COS would observe a small, yet compact reception room. When inside the COS would see a large desk placed adjacent to a small side wall with 2 seats located on the opposite wall here visitors to the station commander could wait until called. Behind the desk seated a tall well presented Trill and officer who served as the captain’s yeoman or as it was more known the Captains PA. Several PaDD’s lay dormant upon the desk with a vintage 22nd-century Tricorder in one corner and a photo of Ervon’s graduation on the left. Remaining Silent Ensign Maax awaited to see whom would enter the captain’s office. : : : : : : : : : : Ensign Ervon Maax : : : : : Captains Yeoman : : : : : : : : “Hello Ensign,” Sofia spoke with a polite smile, “Is the Captain in? I’m Lieutenant Sofia Demakis, new Security Chief, I’d like to report in officially.” : : : : : : : : ~Sofia Demakis~ : : : : : : OOC: bump : : : : Another bump : : Ensign Maax then informed Sofia that the captain was in and that she should feel free to enter. : : Upon entering the second door, she would see Captain McGarrett seated at a desk looking towards the door. His office was L-shaped and when she entered further in he would be able to see the portion of the room to the right, which had a couch with two armchairs opposite it, all of which were in a matching tan. In the center of the seating options was a glass coffee table with a silver metallic support. : : When he noticed Sofia enter, Mathias turned off the computer terminal before him and rose to his feet. Once he was standing she would see that he was a rather tall man, easily taller than she was. He was a sharp-looking man with not a hair on his head out of place or a hint of a wrinkle on his uniform. Perhaps he was in his early thirties, rather young for Starfleet captain. : : “Lieutenant Sofia Demakis I presume? Please come in and make yourself comfortable. I’m Mathias McGarrett,” he said, omitting his rank as if it was entirely unimportant to him. In reality there was nothing he cared more about than the success and status he had achieved in life to this point, aside from the success that loomed ahead of him that he was still chasing. : : Captain Mathias McGarrett, CO “Yes sir,” Sofia spoke, regarding her new Commanding Officer, he was certainly quite different from other Captains she’d served under, “Pleased to meet you,” she spoke by way of making conversation. It was in reality her own mind forcing her to interact with a superior, reminding her that not all Captains were like Amaya Jacobi. In fact her former superior officer was in a very small minority of psychopaths who managed to skirt by all the way to the Captain’s chair before finally getting caught. ~Sofia Demakis~

“Pleased to meet you as well,” said Mathias with a gentle smile.

The young captain stood opposite his incoming security chief silently for a few seconds. He folded his hands together and let his smile fade away. “So, are you more comfortable standing? If so, I imagine that comes in handy when you man the tactical station.”

“Er right,” Sofia glanced about, picking a chair to sit in. Missing the cue was not entirely her own fault, she had met only two Captains as a department head, one of them the psychotic Jacobi and then Captain Sarah Kingsley was sort of a hard-nosed stickler for proper military precision. Neither one had suggested she ‘make herself comfortable’ when they met with her, “I’m comfortable standing or sitting really, whatever the job requires of me mostly.”
