Rende made her way to deck 2 and the XO’s office. She’d made sure the schedule an appointment with Lt Cmdr Watley while on her transport out to the Viking. He knew the crew, he knew the ship, and his insights would be invaluable. It had been 30 years since she’d been in command of anything. For an El-Aurian that wasn’t a lot of time, but to other, not as long lived, species it was. She’d studied the schematics during her travels and like all starships before her, the Viking had a logical layout to its organization. She stopped in front of the office door. This was Watley’s officially private domain and she respected that. Though as Captain she probably could justify walking in, uninvited, she would not. An officer did not reach their posting without earning it. She pressed the chime and waited patiently, she was only a minute or two early. Rende preferred to be as close to as on time as possible, but if she had to choose it was always be early.
