Posted by Lieutenant Commander Joe Milligan (XO) in Bridge
Joe had finally compiled all the reports that he needed and was now behind with everything else. He had gotten some sleep had a shower and changed uniforms and was now walking out onto the bridge. Looking about to make sure that things hadn’t been moved somewhere else since the last time he had been there he finally walked to the command chair and sat down. Looking down at the two more than capable looking officers at the helm he paused for an instant and said, Navigator, plot us a course for the nearest station. Helmsman, make our speed warp five please.”

Stanley, now that all the furor of a new encounter had died down sought once more just to find his way around the ship. Mostly to help his own fear and phobia of shooting through the endless darkness of space in a glorified tin can. And while he was at it to get to better get acquainted with people. For it hadn't taken him long to figure out that he had a public relations problem. So once more he walked out onto the bridge. Looking around the place he found it empty save for one of the people he wanted to speak with at any rate.

Stanley smiled sweetly in Joe’s direction and was unnerved. For he found a look in Joe’s eyes that people often found in his own but could never figure out what was going on with him. For Joe was sitting quietly watching every move Stanley made. Stanley realized that Joe was trying to read his body language! It then occurred to Stanley that this was probably only part and parcel of Milligan’s personality if you were to believe his service record. For anyone to have gotten into as many scuffles as Joe had and still come out in any decent condition at one had to have the ability to read one’s opponent. All the same Stanley’s eyes lit up and he clapped his hands together in front of his face before saying, “Ah Commander Milligan! We finally get to meet I see!”
