Beside the fact he was the Department Head of the scientific area, Ari needed still to make a check-in by himself to the XO. Many of the person he met told that he was kinda new too onboard and it was his first week work:
“Nice!” He was joying “Computer, show me the nearest turbolift.”
The computer showed the turbolift that was just few aisle away - with a sprint, he started running, but with a ease pace and within 20/30 seconds he was already in and going up to meet the XO.

A bling and the steady lights of the chamber signaled Ari that he was on deck 1, while the doors were sliding in each compartment. Wow, he stuck between shaft and bridge, thinking on how shiny it was, maybe more than the Med Bay. Officers alike were all in the place and his workstation was there: a wide screen with keyboard and chair, was there waiting for his lovely but soft butt cheek to try to sit and the buttons to be pressed. And in the other way, a man was standing nearby the Captain’s chair, talking with the Helmsman, maybe for a corrective route. Green shadowing eyes, normal height and good body - he seemed the dream officer, of every girl onboard. Jokes aside he was a good looking man and this discouraged a bit Ari.

“Excuse me?” Interrupted the XO “I’m Lieutenant Ari Kux Salemberger, new CSO. I’m here to report for duty. And also, nice to meet you.”
In all of this, a hand was right behind his back and the other was leaning to offer it to the XO, whom name was still unknown.
