Posted by Ensign Rand Kabil (Yeoman) in Time to Impress
Rand stood in her new quarters, it was early, very early. Her shift didn’t quite correspond to the rest of the crew. Her new yellow uniform dress, cleanly pressed, knee high black boots, polished, and her hair in a tightly woven braid and curled into a bun, she glanced in the mirror. She had to make a good first impression. She had to make sure the captain was ready for his day, but today wasn’t a normal day. Today she was going to meet her new captain; her first posting as the Captain’s Yeoman. She had heard the CO liked coffee Flat Cap Blend first thing in the morning, but not how. It was a point of irritation for her she couldn’t find out. So she made a tray with fresh dark rich coffee and then several things he could choose to add. Then she took the tray along with the three PaDDs, straps over her shoulder, and left her quarters. Luckily, her quarters were across the hall, where she would be accessible whenever the captain had orders for her. She stepped across the hall, straightened her posture and rang the chime.

Eli was still getting dressed, he had a busy schedule ahead of him which included meeting his new number one. He’d put in a request for a Yeoman but yet hadn’t heard anything from operations which meant for the moment he was doing everything himself. The door alarming wasn’t something he expected and he cut himself shaving, reacting quickly Eli grabbed a hand towel and stuck it to his chin before walking over to the door and opening it. “Yes?” He asked only to be met with an Ensign holding a tray of condiments including… “Is that flat cap blend I smell” He smiled, “You must be the Yeoman I’ve been asking for.” He would have shaken her hand except both their hands were busy. “Well come in, I just got to finish getting dressed.” He slide to one side to let her in.
