Michelle sat in her ready room, looking over various reports and such. Taking a break, she leaned back in her chair, letting out a sigh. Then, realizing that she hadn’t yet taken time to chat with many of her senior staff one on one, she tapped her computer terminal to life, checking to see who might be off duty. She saw one name, and then tapped her comm badge.

=/\= Captain Allen to Lieutenant Commander Harlow. Please report to the ready room =/\=

-Captain Michelle Allen

Maeve was washing away the days’ grime in the sonic shower when the captains’ voice came over the intercom. Why would the captain want to see her…? She asked herself. Shrugging to her self she replied. =^= On my way Captain. =^=

Stepping out of the sonic shower she pulled out a clean uniform from her wardrobe. She wasn’t planning on leaving her quarters this evening, she was going to curl up with an old book for the evening.

After making herself look presentable in her fresh-pressed uniform she made her way to the bridge. Once there she made note of the officers who were on duty. She really didn’t know anyone yet other than what was in their Starfleet records. Even then trying to memorize the hundreds of individuals on board was near impossible, something that only an android or Vulcan had a knack for accomplishing. She then turned towards the ready room and pressed the chime waiting to be invited in.

“Come in!” Michelle said, hearing the chime. She stood from her chair and approached the door as it opened.

“Please, come on in,” She said, nodding to Maeve. “I was hoping we could have a chat.” She motioned towards the seating area with a large sofa. “Could I get you anything to drink?”

“Evening Captain.” Maeve nodded and headed towards one of the lounge chairs the captain gestured toward. “Yes, please hot cocoa would be lovely.” Maeve sat down and made herself comfortable crossing her legs. “A chat…? What about?” Enquired Maeve.

Michelle paused. This was definitely not something she was accustomed to, being social. But as Captain, she knew that it was all part of the job and she was trying her best to break out of her old ways of solitude and independence.

“I would like to take some time to get to know my senior staff,” Michelle said, moving towards the replicator. “One hot cocoa and one lemon tea.” In a moment the drinks appeared and she took them over to the seating area, handing out the mug of cocoa to Maeve.

Maeve took the mug from the captain and with a smile replied “Thank you. It’s good to start to get to know the rest of the staff. I plan to do much the same thing with my department. In fact, I am planning a target practice team-building event in the coming weeks, you should join us.”

“This is my first official post as Captain,” Michelle said, sitting slowly on the sofa, facing Maeve. She held the steaming teacup up to her face, slowly inhaling the scent of the tea and the lemon, letting the gentle steam warm her lips and the tip of her nose.

Maeve knew that this was the Captains first official postin as Captain, however, she had read the report on the crew’s last mission. “I would hardly say this as your first official position. From what I understand you basically ran the last ship yourself.” Maeve took a sip of the hot cocoa. “Besides, I’m kind of fond of badass woman in command.” She smiled.

“I would be interested to get to know more about you,” Michelle said. “Whatever you feel comfortable sharing.” She raised the teacup to her lips and took a small sip.

“Where to start…” Maeve mused. “Besides with the obvious.” She said running her left hand over her metallic mohawk.
