Posted by Lieutenant Junior Grade Nikki Brako (Chief of Operations) in Monitoring Center
He’d given the lad some time to get settled. It was time to meet him. Nikki pressed a switch on the dated panel in the PCMC to open a comms channel. The rest of the room was quiet aside from the normal machine sounds and the shuffling of feet. The ‘glare’ from the EOD, one Carissa Longhammer, was enough to make even him nervous. He didn’t have a specific office to himself; this was ‘the’ office and it was manned by several during the day. A kidney shaped room spanning half the area of the deck way down on Deck 46 - a rather interminable ride down from his quarters on Deck 4 - it held 10 principle stations around the long curve that monitored the generators. Other stations looked after the rest. In the center was an oval tabletop situation table.

=^= Ensign Yousefi .. to Deck 46 to meet me for orientation =^= Nikki’s accent made the name sound like a New York pirate .. as Youzeffi.
- Nikki, Ops

Almost without delay, a voice so enthusiastic it could almost have belonged to a hyper child came ringing through the comms system. =^=On my way sir!=^=

After what seemed like no time, the stillness of the room was broken as a young man of a well tanned complexion bounced into the space, his lightly hanging black fringe bobbing along with his footfalls. The gold of his uniform top closed over where a right sleeve and its associated arm would usually stem from. Wrapped around his waist was a practical-looking brown toolbelt with various pockets and implements conveniently stowed. Having entered the room with great kineticism, Yousefi found himself halted at the central table. His gaze shot around the edges of the room, scanning for a face matching the file he had seen for his new boss.

Soon enough, the COO’s red hair gave him away. After an initial burst in the man’s direction, Benjy slowed himself and approached at a more relaxed pace. His excitement was still obvious in his voice, however. “Petty Officer Benjamin Yousefi reporting for duty sir!”

Benjy Yousefi - Ops
