Posted by Lieutenant Commander Royal Sinclair (Counselor) in CO’s Ready Room - Arrival and Check In of the Counselor
Royal didn’t stop to drop off his bags, he went directly to the bridge. Stepping off the turbolift, he looked over the bridge and smiled at the few faces he saw there. The Ensign at the Security station immediately stepped in front of him and said “Sir. Can I help you?” in a tone that conveyed his concern that an unknown individual just walked onto the bridge. Sinclair smiled inwardly, the action and tone making him remember that he was no longer a Security officer himself. He looked at the Ensign and said “I am Lieutenant Commander Sinclair. New ship’s Counselor. I was told to report to the Captain.” He made no move to bypass the Security Ensign who, after verifying Sinclair;s identity, said “Welcome aboard, Sir. Captain is in the Ready Room.” and indicated the door. Sinclair smiled and said “Thank you very much.” and walked over to the door and pressed the chime.

At his desk, Dante had a selection of PaDD’s spread around the surface, and his console split into multiple screens, some with reports of repair estimates after the last mission, some with crew rotation orders, others with department head performance reviews that his hard worked Officers had submitted. As the chime rang, he didn’t look up, just said the time honored “Enter” and allowed the doors to slide apart to admit the next person with a request or report to offer.

Most things here were being done at an advanced pace, the odd situation they had found themselves in meant that the ship was going to be docked at Starbase for a time to undergo repairs, refreshment and allow Temporal Investigations to do their thing, along with set Dante and his Executive Officer as the formal Command team of the Star Ship after both of them arrived in less than ideal circumstances during the mission, his Orion XO in particular.

Once he sensed movement coming through the door, the Captain looked up from his work and saw their new Counselor, one Lt Cmdr Sinclair who had been assigned to them out of the Academy training ship, on short notice as well. He stood and nodded, and held out his hand in a friendly if slightly less than formal greeting. “Welcome to the Saracen Commander Sinclair” he said, “I trust your trip out here wasn’t too rushed?”
