Steven spent more time in the science lab then he did on the bridge most days. It wasn’t for lack of interest in bridge duty, it was just when something wasn’t going on, the research element of science took up more hours of his day. He had decided to take more effort in being on the bridge, so that he get some more experience ‘in command’. The closest he could get was being officer of the deck on the night shift.

As the doors opened he took a quick look at the Captains Chair to be certain that a higher ranked officer hadn’t beaten him to the punch, “Anything to report?”
