Posted by Lieutenant Commander Roman Alden (First Officer & Chief Science Officer) in Side sim: Time for a formal check in! Roman reports for duty!
He’d already met the Captain when she boarded, and he really thought this was a waste of time. However, formal check-ins were regulation, and he would never neglect something he knew he was supposed to be doing (unless, perhaps, it was a medical check-in). He already knew where the Captain’s office was. As he headed there, he remembered checking in to Captain Carmichael, who he had been friends with. Who had been thrilled to have him as a first officer, despite being newly promoted. He vaguely wondered what Captain Rogers thought of him. But it didn’t really matter, did it? It didn’t matter who his Captain was. He’d follow their orders and do his job. That’s what was important.

Roman rang the chime on the door, waiting patiently for her answer. The conversation would be quick, more than likely, just a formality. Then, he could get back to work.

Shirley stood in front of her mirror as she brushed her hair and evaluated the her new uniform as it was evident in her reflection. The Sentinel was one of several test ships that Starfleet issued new uniforms to that they were interested in potentially switching over to across the entire fleet as a whole. She took a liking to the set because it was a nice fresh start for her, not only in uniform style, but it included her first command opportunity. She heard the chime sound off in her quarters and set her hair brush on the counter by the sink. She glanced at her reflection one last time as she gave herself a once over and in result everything appeared to check out properly as she shifted her gaze in the direction of the entry door to her quarters, “Come in.”
