Stephen arrived on the Bridge promptly 5 minutes before the start of the first shift, looking around in wonderment. The lack of noticeable alerts was promising, but otherwise he wasn’t too sure what to do, other than wait for the Captain to arrive. As a senior officer, he had of course been trained on Bridge duties, but actually being on one, with command responsibilities, on a real Federation vessel, was remarkably different from any of the simulations or exercises.

He shuffled over to a space near the center chair, trying to be inconspicuous.
