Posted by Commander Jason Reilly (XO) in Side Sim - CSO Meeting the XO
Reilly hadn’t really settled in, but he didnt really care either. He decided he need to do the new XO thing and start making sure he and the DH’s on the ship were on the same page. Looking at the roster, he scowled at Petrov’s name. “Yeah… definately last.” he mumbled to himself.

Setting his schedule up, he sent out the meeting agenda. First up, the Chief Science Officer. He then did what he always did when in a new space and was alone… he swept for bugs.

A minute or so before the appointed time, Duncan arrived outside the XO’s door and paused slightly. The man stood straight, with a military bearing that was timeless to those that knew what to look for and announced his military school upbringing well before anything else did. His uniform was neat although he adjusted his cuffs slightly for no other reason than to make sure they were right. It wasn’t for the XO’s benefit, Duncan was a firm believer that if you looked the part of an Officer, it was a good start to actually acting like one.

He paused a moment as a random thought crossed his mind and the corner of his mouth curved in a grin for just a moment. He was old school, first job of the day was to make your bed and do it right. He did that religiously but Lily had other ideas, a well made bed was an instant invitation to jump on it. He had learned to adapt, overcome however. As long as he made the bed he could handle it being messed up 30 seconds later when Lily came cannonballing onto it from nowhere.

Finishing adjusting his cuffs, he pressed the chime and then checked the corridor.

Lt Rhodes, CSO

A voice inside said “Come on in.” and the door slid open and reveled a chaotic office in the midst of being unpacked. But the desk and chair in front of it were clear.
The new XO stood up. The CSO had at least half a foot on him, but maybe only twenty or thirty pounds. He had brown hair and piercing green eyes that were somewhat eased by the smile on the handsome man’s face. He extended a hand and said “Lieutenant. Good to meet you. I’m Commander Reilly, the new XO. Sorry for the state of the office, still getting settled. Have a seat and we can get right down to it.”
Reilly had reviewed the man’s record and his profile. Military, no nonsense, proud to be an officer. So, Reilly didnt beat around the bush with small talk.
