Posted by Lieutenant Kastarak (XO/Navigation Officer) in 11:00 Meeting with Mr Dawson
Today was the day that Kastarak would have his first one-to-one meetings with the department heads. He would do them in order of seniority. 9 o’clock was Mr Grey’s scheduled time, 10 o’clock was Dr Symar’s. Now it would be Mr Dawson’s, the weapons officer.

Kastarak had only had one-to-one interactions with Mr Dawson in the counselling office, nor standing empty. Then, Kastarak wore the blue shirt, now he’s in the First Officer’s office, wearing a golden shirt. How would this affect their relationship? Kastarak surmised that, due to the nature of the mission at hand, perhaps Dawson would require counselling… but would Kastarak be able to provide it?

He waited for Mr Dawson to enter.

Dawson arrived outside Kastarak’s office and stayed there momentarily, trying to decide how this would go. Will Kastarak still be acting as Ship’s Counselor? Will his promotion change their dynamic? Dawson shook his head and decided he would let Kastarak take the lead. He chimed the door and, when permitted to enter, came in with his usual smile and English charm.

“Good morning, sir.” he said once he came into the room, “It is odd seeing you in gold, but a welcome sight to be sure. So, where would you like to begin?”

It was an odd situation for Kastarak too. He rose from his seat to greet his guest. “Good morning”, he said and gestured to Mr Dawson to sit down on the opposite side of Kastarak’s desk. A pot of English tea was kept steeping on the desk, sitting upon a small heater. It had been Mr Grey who had earlier today requested the tea.

“Would you like something to drink?” He asked. If Mr Dawson looked around, he would also see a drink dispenser machine in the corner of the room, from where coffees, some cold drinks and a raktajino of dubious authenticity could be poured.

“The tea will be fine, sir.” Dawson said taking his seat and pouring a cup of the tea.

“I should like to begin with discussing your role as weapons officer, how you find it, your relationship with junior officers, your aspirations, and what support you might need. Is there something beyond this you wish to add to the agenda?”

“We’ll see how it goes,” Dawson said sipping his tea. “Where would you like to begin?”
