IC: Riley exited the turbolift on to the Bridge and nodded a greeting toward the duty officer as he made a quick bee line to the Captain’s Ready Room. According to the computer Marius was in and Riley had just the routine business excuse he’d been looking for to command a bit of the new CO’s attention. He tapped the padd he held in his right hand against the palm of his left before he pressed the chime.

Dekker, CNS

“Come,” Came the clipped response from the Newly Frocked Captain. Actually, he wasn’t frocked it was all official… it just happened to be very fast. Marius looked up from behind his computer screen as he watched the door open.

Riley walked through the doors entering a room he knew well, but had changed. He hadn’t had an opportunity to glimpse the ship’s Ready Room since its occupant had changed and his dark eyes to a moment to take in both the familiar and the new. Only after he finished his cursory evaluation of the space did his gaze alight upon the man behind the desk. Julien was no small man, but Marius was bigger, and his frame behind the desk provided the most poignant contrast with the past.

“Do you have a moment, Captain?” Riley approached Marius’s desk, but remained standing. He held the padd he carried in front of him. “I have the latest enlisted evaluations. There are a few recommendations for promotion and assignment change that need your review and approval.”

Dekker, CNS

Marius looked at him with dark eyes. He paused, his instinct was to tell Riley he could use his first name, since they were in private… but this was an official meeting.. promotions and all. He nodded to the empty chair across from him. “What do you have Riley?” he questioned with as affable voice as he could muster.

Riley took a seat and pushed the padd across the CO’s desk.

He glanced towards the material Dekker had in his hand. “Did the XO go over these?” When he was first officer, he reviewed the enlisted officers evaluation and Julien pretty much rubber stamped them. “Or are some of them looking for an 1332?” Which was the Star-Fleet policy in treating mental illnesses. It actually wasn’t the discharge rules but it was the only thing that popped into Marius’ head.

“The department heads forwarded their recommendations onto Commander Petursson. It’s all routine,” Riley crossed one leg over the other and settled back into the chair, a smile curling up the corner of his mouth. “I was just looking for an excuse to see how you’re settling in. I’m guessing Julien’s departure took you by surprise as much as it did the rest of us. How are you adjusting?”

Dekker, CNS

Marius looked at the PaDD for a moment longer before putting down on the desk. “Oh, this is my 1332.” He shook his head. “You didn’t have to come up with an excuse Riley. I guess I’m going to have to get used to this less than subtle investigation of my mental health.” He paused.

“It was a little out of the blue. Marriage and children can do that to you.” He shrugged. “I would have the same priorities. Were Sage to leave with my child… rest assured you could measure my duration on the ship with a stop watch. Family first… contrary to the marine motto, God, Country, Corps.” Family was not even listed.
