Lt Valharra put the medal from his first Chief Weapons Officer on the desk in his quarters. It was placed beside a photo of his family. It was given to him shortly after his death and he was promoted to the CWO position, but even a Vulcan has a breaking point and losing his family and then losing his CWO took it’s toll and he broke, several times.
But now, he was back again, and starting to head his way to the current CWO’s office. When he got there, the door chimed to let the CWO know he was there.

Dawson had been distracted. The mission was weighing on him, and he needed to snap himself out of it and get back to business. They’d picked up a new security officer at Pluto, and Dawson had decided to keep him for the mission. Dawson looked over to the hologram of his sister, Clarissa, on his desk. She had just been made a Lieutenant and she was all smiles and nerves. The door chimed and Dawson turned off the projector.

“Enter.” He said. The door slid open and revealed the Lieutenant behind it. “Come on in, take a seat.”

Every wall of the room, save for the one with the window looking out onto the passing stars, was covered with weapon displays. The weapons ranged from early human to more exotic alien varieties. Vulcans, Klingons, Romulans, all were represented, and all bearing a common theme: they were all mele weapons.

“Welcome aboard,” Dawson said pulling up his file, “Mr. Valharra?” He asked, “Is that correct? I’ve gotten better with Vulcan names, but I find it always good to make sure. Do correct me if I make a mistake.” He flashed him a smile. “Has anyone told you your name bears a striking similarity to an old earth afterlife belief?”

Lt. Q Dawson, CWO

“Yes Sir, that is correct, and yes I have heard of it, I believe it’s called Valhalla.” He responded. “It is nice to be back on board, and I am happy to be getting back to work on the ship,Sir.” LT. Valharra continued

Dawson smiled, “That’s it.” He gestured for Valharra to have a seat, “I’ve looked over your file, and you seem to be very well qualified, and I like that you have experience as a Chief Weapons Officer and prior experience on the Chernov. As you know doubt have put together, I’m fairly new to both positions myself. So it’s good to have you to draw upon when necessary. Please, tell me a little about yourself. A file is no comparison to hearing it from the officer’s own lips.”

Lt. Q Dawson, CWO

“Especially since my file doesn’t have all the details a normal Vulcan officer would have.” He stated. “It’s hard to explain, but the short version is that I was in my ship, on my way to our family’s vacation spot, and this other ship created a black hole like portal near my ship, and he flew into it, and the gravitational pull grabbed on to my ship, and I ended up getting pulled into the hole with him, and came out to this universe. That’s where Starfleet found me, and I joined them, and upon graduating I was assigned to this ship. As a Vulcan, I should be in more control of my emotions, but given everything that has happened, I have not kept the control of my emotions like I should have been.” He continued.

“Extraordinary.” Dawson said, “That must have been quite the experience. As you may have noticed when you boarded, we offloaded much of the crew at space dock. We’re going on a rather dangerous mission and we will have a limited crew aboard. I chose you to stay because you seemed to have the necessary experience to serve as my back up. I’ll let you know that this mission has a certain, personal element for me. I need someone who has experience leading this department to be there in case I can no longer function rationally as a starfleet officer. In case I become… emotionally compromised. I know that’s a lot to put on a person, but I need to know if you’re prepared for that possible scenario.”

Lt. Q Dawson, CWO

“Of course, Sir. I will help out however I possibly can. I hope that doesn’t happen, but if it does, I will do what needs to be done for not just the mission and the security of the ship, and crew, but for you as well. This isn’t the first time a mission has been like this, so I will be prepared to handle it as needed. I appreciate the trust in me as well.” Lt. Valharra responded to the request that was given to him about the mission.

Dawson smiled. “I’m glad to hear that. I look forward to working with you.” Dawson then stood from his chair and offered a hand to Valharra to shake. “Welcome aboard Lieutenant.”
