As instructed, the new Intelligence Officer on board arrived at the conference room exactly on time. The doors swished open and the tall Zulu ducked under the top of the door frame and entered. Then, standing upright and with his hands clasped behind his back, Nkosenye said “Lieutenant Mthunzi Nkosenye reporting as requested, Captain.”

Nkosenye, CIO

Shirley sat at the table reviewing reports from each department on their mission into the Abyss in order to help her strategize and to ensure that they would have a successful mission which was at least the hope. She wanted to be successful on her first assignment as the Commanding Officer of the Sentinel to prove that she was worthy of her promotion to the Admiralty board. It had taken her a long time in comparison to others to earn her place in the chair and she intended to keep it for the rest of her career. She wore her usual command gold uniform with black slacks and boots with her dark brown hair tied in a neat bun.

As Lieutenant Mthunzi entered the conference room, her green eyes glanced more upward than usual to meet his gaze, “Ah, a pleasure to meet you Lieutenant. I see that we have a record setting officer in the height category.” He was the tallest officer that she had encountered in her career and she had served for a little bit over a decade so there was an abundance of competition in that regard. She simply made an inviting gesture with her left hand as she directed it to a nearby chair, “Please have a seat. It is my understanding that you will be the Chief Intelligence Officer liaison for the Sentinel. Your personnel file is exemplary and you come highly recommended by Starfleet Command. Welcome aboard.” Shirley then began to wonder where Yeoman Farquharson was as she could use a drink and also planned to provide her new CIO with hospitality as well. She was always a fan of making a solid impression with those who served under her.

The Captain’s Yeoman was exactly where she was supposed to be - a moment behind the captain’s welcome. The door opened and Rand entered with a tray. She set it down, placing glasses and a variety of decanters and pitchers to Rogers’ left - a variety of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks for her to offer. Rand left without a word. She appeared again, unobtrusively 10 minutes later with the dinner trays. The cook had prepared a meal at the captain’s request, meeting the preferences of both officers, based on what was currently available on board. Rand set the plates off to the right of each officer, along with the various necessities, and disappeared quietly out the door.
