Stepping up to the door to the Captains office, the new XO of the Wolverine took a slow breath and made sure his focus wasn’t on any of the activity going on around him, but on the door in front of him and to the woman beside him.

“I think this shirt is too small,” he whispered, adjusting his shoulders and pulling at the bottom fabric slightly to try and get it to fit better.

“Oh stop your fidgeting,” Megan stood in front of him batting his hands away and brushing off his shoulders as if they had lint of dust on them. “You look dashing. When you are not fidgeting.”

“Either that or those pancakes you made me eat this morning made me gain a few extra kilo’s.” He looked at her sideways and smirked.

“You ready for this?” Darius asked, “This tin can is a fair bit smaller than the Olympic. They probably only spared a wardrobe and a microscope for the Science Lab.” Reaching out, he pressed the chime to announce their arrival.

“Of course I am,” Megan said in a crisp tone bubbling over with confidence. “You are here and in charge. I can’t get in trouble when you are sleeping with the boss because we both know the XO runs the ship.” Megan didn’t look at him when she spoke. She didn’t need to. When Morgan was at her side, everything seemed to work out. Why ruin a perfectly good system that had worked for as long as they had been together?

Captain Erin had been sitting behind his desk for the past hour, slightly tapping the edge with his foot as he concentrated on his updated roster. With Remy god knows where, Command thought it would have been a good idea to shake things up. They made Bryson the permanent Captain while brisking away his XO and CMO. However, he thought it was for the best after Lily left him to drown in Sickbay with a magical mop bucket, or when she feed them to that morale-boosting maniac. Bryson scrolled through the names and stopped at the new officers.

“Darus Morgan..... oddly familiar name.....” He said aloud to himself and was able to confirm his suspicion when he saw the Olympic as one of the new XO’s previous postings. Before he could continue reading on, the bell to his ready room went off.

“Come in!” Bryson called out, hoping it wasn’t another fresh-eyed Crewman being pranked by their Section Chief.

The door slid open and Darius turned sideways slightly, looking at Megan. “After you,” he beckoned her inside first with his hand.

“So formal,” Megan teased him with a wink and a smile. Entering the room, Megan moved with the grace and elegance of someone used to dealing with those in the upper echelons of society. The man behind the desk did not intimidate her, her family did a good enough job of that.

“Captain. I am Lt. Megan Rhodes. So please to meet you.” Her tone was distinctly British with the slight sing-song quality the accent had when people spoke.

“Small world isn’t it, Lieutenant?” Bryson said. The Captain stood up from behind his desk and extended his hand for a shake. He didn’t a more lax approach when it came to his senior staff. “We briefly crossed paths on the Olympic when you were a junior science officer, and your brother was my XO here up until his reassignment after our recent mission.” Bryson paused a moment at the open door behind his CSO and looked around her.

“I thought I heard another voice out there?” The CO asked.
