Posted by Ensign Kalani Kane (Scientist) in Kane meets the Captain
Kalani walked up to the Captain’s office and rang the door chime. It was not exactly customary for one to meet with the new CO when arriving on a ship but Kalani was not exactly ordinary. She did not arrive with a simple duffle bag sporting a slightly disheveled uniform and jet-lagged eyes from several days of traveling. Kane was arriving with numerous bags, bowls, cages, and aquariums. The main reason she was standing outside this door was to get one, Mr. Dante Knight, to approve her request. His okay would supersede all others. His permission would allow her to nudge Alindor to complete the designs she needed through engineering. His endorsements would allow her to bring back items on all away missions. Of all the people that Kalani needed to back her, Dante was the most important. Smoothing down her shirt she waited for him to grant her access to his office. “You got this. I mean if you could get Drudoc to sign off then you could sell beachfront property in the middle of a desert,” she gave herself a small pep-talk.

The door opened, and through it Kane would see the ships Captain, red uniform, shaped beard and dark hair, standing in front of the wall console that could be used for larger communication’s and was simply easier to see than the small console at his desk. The man seemed, from his posture, agitated. A large cup of coffee rested in one hand, and the other rested on his waist in the time honored ‘Oh no you didn’t just say that’ pose.

“What do you mean that the Starbase has no more transparent aluminium in stock? You have to get your industrial replicators to make some? I had that requisition in a week ago!” The tone of his voice stated that he wasn’t impressed, and he looked around at the person at the door. Young, blue uniform of the science division, darker skinned and slightly exotic, and an Ensign. That made his eyebrow rose slightly but he gave her what passed as a welcome smirk, and pointed at the replicator and then the chair in front of his desk and turned back to the view screen.

=/\= The transparent aluminium was requisition a couple of hours ago Sir =/\= the man on the screen told him, a big looking Caitian from the Stations Supply section. =/\= It was urgent apparently for scientific reasons. I’m sorry Captain, your order was deemed to be not a primary request =/\=

With a sigh, and a shake of his had, Dante turned of the screen and muttered to himself. “And your mother has hairballs” was all that Kane would hear as he turned to her, finished his coffee and moved back to his chair. “I’m sorry for the wait, the Supply section seems to have assigned my order of Transparent Aluminium and UV lights to another place, but moving on. “How may I help you Ensign?” he asked her.”
