It was quarter to three in the afternoon and Quinn was sat in her office, counting down the minutes until her scheduled briefing with the entire security team. She’d still not found time to decorate yet, but that could wait until later. She had more important things to deal with right now. Ok, so about to go out and properly exert my authority over a group of individuals, some of which are a lot older and have been in Star-Fleet a lot longer than me. No big, right? While she said that to herself, the truth was she did feel a touch nervous. She only got one shot at this and if she screwed it up, she’d be fighting her own team just as much as all the nasties that lurked out in the ever-expanding galaxy for the foreseeable future. She took a deep breath and stood up. Moving to the centre of the small room, she began lightly moving through the motions of a tae-kwon-do pattern. There was not nearly enough room for her to do it properly, so instead, she settled for pivoting around on the spot.

She must have rattled through at least half a dozen by the time her alarm went off to tell her that it was time to go. Ok, here goes nothing. She smiled to herself as she made her way to the office door, but quickly neutralised it by the time it opened and she stepped out. Time to rally the troops.
