A week had passed since the Saracen had left the site of the destruction of the Bhari, heading towards Meridian Station for a little R&R and resupply, as well as a crew rotation. In that time, Captain Knight and Commander Colter had gone over the events of the last mission and filed their reports and recommendations to Starfleet HQ.

All that was left, was the post-mission meeting with each departments staff. For this, Dante had decided to use the War Room adjacent to the Bridge. It was both more spacious and had a bigger view port than the Captains Ready Room, and, as one of its’ uses was as a Senior Officer briefing room, wasn’t used enough.

Sitting at the desk with the ever present cup of coffee in one hand, Dante awaited the arrival of some members of the Engineering team that had been summoned to this meeting, namely, Acting Chief Engineer Jhalae Ynuchausti and Ensign Charles-Louis. Looking over at Colter as they waited, Dante dropped the cup from his lips for a moment.

“Got enough coffee there, Daniel? Going through these PaDD’s takes a while.”

DaVinci chuckled and shook his head. “You know me, skipper. I’d much rather have an ice cold beer rather than a coffee. And I’d much rather have a stripper pole instead of a table in the middle of the room. . . .that reminds me, did I ever tell you about the video i got from SheleaH??

Charles-Louis entered the room just late enough to hear only the counselor’s name. It brought back to mind the rumors that had been circulating about whether or not the two were ‘together’ or ‘just friends’. Hopefully news of the little picnic they had stayed between them, as something that happened between friends. Less that he was afraid of Commander Colter, more that he was afraid it would dishonor her as an officer to be the subject of so many of such rumors.

However, he still stood at attention and gave each officer an appropriate greeting,

“Captain, and Commander,”

Engineering Officer|

As the meeting was about to commence, Jhalae took her seat at the table, nodding respectfully to Captain Knight and Commander Colter. “Captain, Commander,” Jhalae addressed them formally, her tone reflecting a blend of respect and authority. She surveyed everyone in the room, trying to read their faces. She looked a Charles-Louis and flashing a quick smile at him.

Colter nodded in acknowledgement to the engineers. “This shouldn’t take long, ensigns. Just the standard post-mission briefing. I’d like to start by commending you, Ens. Ynuchausti. You and your people did an admirable job in keeping the engines up and running when we needed them to get away from the Cardassian cruisers. You kept the bridge informed of your concerns and as problems arose, you delegated responsibilities wisely to your crew. Well done.”

The XO took a drink of his coffee and continued. “I will admit, ensign, I had some reservations about Captain Knight’s decision to make you the chief, but rest assured, any concerns I had have been put to rest.”
