It had been a few days since David and Riley has opened the box from Jackson. It had been in David’s mind, as well as what he needed to do. With Julien gone, things were inevitably going to be different. He had to face the fact that no matter how much he detested the idea, Calvin was now the Captain. David has a responsibility to do what was necessary to keep the crew safe from any harm, including Marius.

Arriving at the ready room, David rang the chime and waited, trying to breathe slowly. There was no outcome of this meeting that ended pleasantly for either of them.

Another visitor at his door. Calvin shook his head. As XO he had a handful of visitors in a day, sometimes as few as one. As Captain he was averaging a dozen a day… The ready room was not there for peace and contemplation… it was a place where he could be found whenever someone wanted something.... usually his signature on a PaDD requesting something from someone.

“Come.” he half yelled, as the door, already keyed to his voice commands slid open at his comment. The ready room had been cleared of any vestige of Julien, but was not yet clearly Marius’ as it hung in that nether-land of not empty, but not quite full of personal items.

David entered cautiously, looking around the room slightly as he approached the desk.

“Mr. Michaels,” Calvin said as he moved one item from one side of his desk to another the frustratingly sliding it back. “What brings you, rap, rap, rapping on my chamber door.” He wasn’t certain that the science officer would get the reference.

David raised an eyebrow curiously. “There is something I need to bring you into the loop on. It is an ongoing personal matter than Captain King had been briefed on and with his departure I owe you the same as my commanding officer.” He paused, knowing the next part would not sit well with the new Captain.

That sounded serious. Marius stopped fiddling with the item on his desk turned to face Michaels fully and squinted slightly.

“Before I begin I will only say this once,” David said. “I will only give you information that I am permitted to, as I am still bound by the temporal Prime Directive. In this case there are..” He pauses, searching for an appropriate word. “Circumstances that allow me to bend the directive a bit and give you more information than I would normally in a routine mission.” He looked at Calvin, eyebrows raised, awaiting the mans reaponse before beginning his story.

“You’re a time traveler on an active star-ship, performing an active role, and in a relationship? I’m not fully brushed up on my temporal regs, but that seems out of bounds…” He paused, “Hmm, that does explain how so many of your hunches had positive results and why Julien gave you such a long leash.” He snorted… it explained so many other things…

“You…’ He paused changing his tack from his initial urge just to ask questions. His questions might be answered by Michaels explanation. It was better to listen and absorb at this moment. “You said there was information, I welcome knowing what’s going on.”

Marius.
