Veena was ready early to get ajump on the day. Her uniform was the male version still as the way her master had given her permission to wear the female version had
Rather implied he disliked the idea. Her tunic was tight since she was in the venacular rather well endowed. The trousers were uncomfortabley tight on the hips and while she could get used to them it was only the second time she had worn anything but a skirt so it still felt alien to her. She had exchanged the flat boots for a more practical low heeled boot as she was more used to heels or going barefoot . Since she was security she had a type 2 hand phaser as well as the strap on thigh knife. She had made no noise till she left the Cabin so as not to wake the captain. She had seemingly succeeded.
.
The security office was never empty of course so she couldn’t avoid attention and just slip into her office. The idea that she had a office was a bit of a shock, and she couldn’t help but smile at the idea. She was already getting incredulous stares from the crew she passed just for being a armed Orion in a mens uniform. The smile stopped some of the crew in their tracks. She however didn’t stop till she entered the security station.

The outer office of the security complex was a reception area with a security officer stationed at a desk to greet visitors and a second officer guarding a door that led further into the complex. It was a small rectangular room with austere seating for six people in case there was need. The ship being newly crommisioned and the crew still boarding had nobody visiting at this time. Both officers were Terran as was to be expected. Empire ships developed factions and cliques. These were often the various departments of the ship, but other factions often developed based on who trusted who. Who had talent and who was ambitious. Security personel were all in the Captain’s faction and were not allowed to belong to any other faction. They kept an eye on every other faction because untill recently one of the fastest ways to be promoted was by assassination. The change was too new for the watch everything mentality to have even begun to fade. The officer at the desk was a Red haired women with unremarkable looks. Normally when a higher ranking officer entered she would of stood. She didn’t. What she did do was sneer and look like there was a bad smell. Veena walked over to the desk. And spoke. “Good morning. As I am sure your aware. The Captain was honored last night at the Imperial Palace. He was I am sure you heard given honors and gifts and the command of this ship by the Empresses command. As a loyal serving security crewmember. You are going to adhere to every tradition , every diecipline, and every command given by the Captain and his appointed officers. Which crewman means that since I have been given the duty of commanding Security for the Captain aS Chief of Security, You crewman are going to either treat me the same as any human officer. Or”, and she left a long dramatic pause hang heavy in the air.
The Male Terran at the door had listened to this and no doubt was aware that non humans who became officers were usually more vicious than human officers had decided to look professional. He actually saluted her with the clenched fist to heart. His apparent acceptance of her right to command broke the woman at the desk out of her air of confident superiority and the woman rose and saluted as well.
At this point Veena handed over the report docket she held to the woman. This had the proper documents that named her as Lt. Jg. Veena Gunnar Chief of Security.
“Now as we understand each other better. You can show me to my Office.”, she had never raised her voice nor even used a harsh tone , or actually spoken a threat. But she had gambled on two things. The Empire training it’s dogs to obey, and that mentioning the Captain would open doors. Because these two now knew clearly that disobeying her meant disrespecting the Captain. They would not dare do that. But these two security personel were hardly a real threat. The four men and two women sub officers were going to be the real problem. She dismissed the woman back to her desk once she had entered her office. Strode around the small room once and sat in what would from now on be her chair. It was bare, utilitarian , and everything smelled new, and it was as close to ownership of anything as she expected to come. She turned on the work station built into the desk and started a search on crewmembers who had previously served together.

The chime on the door sounded and Veena checked the camera feed.. she had six appointments this morning with what amounted to the six squad leaders who each had a specialty within security. The tall lanky red headed man she saw was Ensign Ian McCormic. His specialty was HtH combat training. He was a hot tempered man even by Terran standards. She was going to have to keep a tight leash on him as he had a bad habit of causing severe injuries to those he trained. She waited to just before he was going to press the chime again to open the door. He stepped in stopped did a double take then reluctantly saluted. Veena guessed he had assumed the two in the reception area were pulling his leg when they had told her who the boss was.

“Ensign McCormic. Are you going to stand there gapping like a fish or will you complete the pleasentries so we can discuss your role in my security department on this ship?”, She said her voice smooth as silk. McCormic did the heart thumping salute. Closed his gaping mouth and looked confused and uncomfortable. Veena had of course made sure she had reduced the atmospheric controls as soon as she had entered. The Pheremones took time to work completely and she didn’t need these men to be total thralls anyways. Short term it would cause them to be more inclinde to want to please her. “You no doubt are wondering how a non Terran becomes a ranking officer. I am not inclinde to enlighten you on that subject as my rank and position is the Captains will. It is enough for you to know that I was presented to the Captain at the Imperial palace and his orders are law on this ship. You as a Security officer have the duty to enforce the Captains will. I have the duty of seeing to it that nobody fails to obey that will. Are we clear Ensign on how the chain of command functions?”, she said in that same smooth as silk voice. McCormic was off balance. And responded “Yes Maam!”,
.
After a pause she started talking zbout McCormics career so far. His failures, and how she expected better of him now that he was by some miracle being given a chance on a Imperial flagship to remedy his faults. That he was free to train the personel in hand to hand till they outshone the MACO who were assigned to the ship. But there were to be no severe injuries this time or he would suffer the same injury himself. When she finished she informed him that once the one on one interviews were complete there would be a inspection of all personel not on patrol or guard duty. That he was responcible for seeing that his squad were worthy of serving on a Imperial flagship under Captain Gunnar, full list of the Captains honors citations and added hand chosen by the Empress herself for this command.

Ensign McCormac was then dismissed to go about his duties.
There was a five minute break before the second interview was due to start.

The interviews for the three other men went very simularly to the first. And Veena took a break for Lunch before meeting the women. This break was to clear her office of the pheremones she had used on the men. She took the time to shower and clean up and changed to a fresh male pattern uniform. When she returned to her office she noticed that The Maco Captain had requested to meet with her. She bumped that to the front of her meetings schedule and put her two female subordinates on standby.
=^= Communications. Inform the MACO Force Commander that I will see her now.=^=, and having made the call she waited.

LT. Jg Veena Gunnar. CoS.

=^= She is already at your office=^= came the reply. Just as he said that Abi and Maggie walked into the office. Abi had heard that Veena was the COS, to say she was surprised was an understatement. Abi couldn’t figure out why the captain had done that.

She regarded Veena “I had read the file and i thought someone was joking with me. You’re the Chief of security” She said disbelief in her voice “And you’ve taken the Captains last name. Wow talk about insulting.”she added.

“I’m not going to take orders form her” Maggie spat.
