Marius took a moment to make himself some coffee. How the hell did every Captain deal will all the paperwork… He laughed… why did they still call it paperwork.. there was no paper.

=^=Marius to Magnús Pétursson, come to my ready room if you please.=^= Marius was unusually pleasant.

Marius

OOC: SOrry completely missed this
IC:

The response came almost immediately =^=On my way, Sir=^= The slight Scandinavian accented voice came over the comm.

A few minutes later the ready room door chimed, signaling his arrival.

“Enter,” Marius responded immediately. The door chime, like a phone bell, almost forced a quick response.

Marius didn’t really give Magnús Pétursson much warning and tossed him a PaDD the moment he locked eyes with him. The rationale behind why he would toss an object at the XO was difficult to determine.

“It’s promotion time.” Marius had never had to lead this discussion. “What are you thinking?”

Magnus grabbed the PaDD with relative ease although he did have a look of surprise on his face that quickly dissipated. He examined the device and moved further into the room “Interesting thought” He said with a half-smile “My part of the mission was very focused on myself interacting with the Pallasian president, the team didn’t have much more to do than sit there and smile, make the occasional comment, good comments for sure but they didn’t have a chance to do anything outstanding. Mostly I was impressed with Ensign Shandy’s ability to assess a situation. I also noticed Lieutenant Park’s actions from your little rescue mission as well as NE Dagen but I think that is more in your corner. On my end, I saw a professional crew make good impressions during a… tense first contact mission. Is there anything, in particular, you are looking for?” He asked before making his final decision.

XO

‘I’ve always been conservative with promotions. Just like I am with praise… a habit I’d like to moderate.” In a sudden bout of introspection.

“These guys have gone two or three missions without review. Julian,” Marius paused. He surmised since he was a Captain now he could call the previous one by his first name in public. “hadn’t done the last one so this is my first. Plus we also have a position vacuum. The Genesis has always operated with a second officer… if not officially, for ease of chain of command.”
