“So that’s the report on why she is currently lying in our sickbay and her weapons are lying on my desk,” Dante pointed at the Bajoran blaster and Klingon knife lying on his desk in front of Atoded, his Chief of Security.

“I am well aware that this isn’t the best start she could have asked for, but I have signed off on the Officer Exchange and despite this, I believe we should continue with it. Coffee?” He pointed at the empty coffee cup on the desk in front of him. “I could sure use another, preferably with something stronger in it but alas, I’m still on duty.”

“Please Captain. Double strong and black.” She looked at the weapons. “I’m not inclined to give them back to her, not any time soon. Not until Lt Ruby and Lt Cmdr Knight have completely cleared her. I am also not inclined to hold it against her. People make mistakes intentional or accidental. Exchange officer or not, it’s now up to use to make sure she gets better.”

Nodding, Dante clearly agreed. “I support that completely Commander. The issue with this medication reaction or overdose or whatever it was cannot happen again. She is an Exchange Officer and entitled to the equipment that she uses in her position in her fleet, but at the discretion of the Senior Staff here where safety is involved and I do believe it is up to her to take the opportunities we lend her to get to that point.”

“We’ll lock it up and keep it safe for her. We’ll do a dual lock. Her imprint and mine. That way she can’t get it before she’s ready, but no one else can get to them either.”

“Of course 2nd Lieutenant Laju isn’t the only concern in all this. How did she get the blaster on board? The knife is easier to smuggle in, but even coming in on a shuttle, the passengers and their cargo should have been scanned and the energy signature registered.” Atoded was disappointed in the performance of her department. Missing a smuggled weapon was not acceptable, no matter who it was coming on board. “I will find out who was on duty then and make sure they get a very clear refresher course.”

“Not only them,” Dante added as he stood and walked to the replicator, producing two more coffee cups that reeked of strong and potent black gold. “However this happened, it happened. Lets use this, alongside whatever measures you take for the Officer that missed these weapons to put the entire department through a refresher. Knowing that one Officers’ lapse in judgement alone put the entire department through extra training would make most of them take much more care of their duties in future, in case it happens to them.” Returning to the desk, he handed one cup to Atoded and sipped the other.

She took the cup eagerly, blew across it and then took a sip. “I agree, they succeed or fail together. We push that idea at the Academy but then people get moved about and it takes time to build that team cohesiveness again. I’ll start trainings immediately. I do want to talk to this individual though. This isn’t a minor over sight or misunderstanding. Such possible complacency can be signs of larger problems that could turn into major issues for the crew as a whole later.”

Eghimea stood outside the Captain’s Ready Room gathering her thoughts. Her first meeting with Lieutenant Ruby went as well as expected. She frowned, then there was Chief Petty Officer Asencio. The man was strange even for human standards. Their first official meeting ended with him offering to teach her a human fighting style called Mixed Martial Arts. Considering how poorly she did with boxing, she had reluctantly accepted the offer, knowing it was another one of his attempts to get to know her better. Her cheeks flushed a bit as she found the strange human practice interesting.

Though not all these new human experiences were interesting. One human practice that seemed to frustrate her was the endless directions everyone felt the need to give her. It was if they assumed she didn’t know her way around the Saracen. Granted the ship was the largest ship she had ever seen let alone served on. It wasn’t all that hard to download the ship’s deck by deck lay out and study them. Still, each time someone had a suggestion on where she should go or what she should do, they would follow it up with directions on how to get there. So, to appease them and not to cause further alarm, she would smile and take the directions and go about her day.

She pressed all those thoughts out of her mind as she reached over and touched the panel next to the door. She announced her presence to the Ship’s Captain.

“Ah, timing.” Dante said and drained the last of his coffee, placing the cup back in the same spot it sat empty in previously.

Leaning back in his chair, Dante looked at the door and pressed the control on his desk that caused the doors to slide open from their locked state, revealing Eghimea waiting beyond them. “Come in, Second Lieutenant.” Dante announced and nodded to the seat. “Take a chair if you will. This is Lieutenant Commander Atoded, my Chief of Security and your Department Head. How are you feeling after your stay in sickbay?”
