Scuttlebutt in Engineering was that they were getting a new assistant Chief.
Reena said. "It's a pity Paisley got transferred, I liked her."
"Yeah, me too." Llaxia said. "And Jedeli's been sad since she heard. You know how much she fancied her."
"Of course, when you 'let her out', she'd go on and on about how much she enjoyed their ice cream date." Reena replied.
"I heard the new guy's a Grazerite." Llaxia said.
"Rubbish, a Grazerite's not going to fit in the Jefferies' Tubes." Reena said.
"Maybe, he's a small Grazerite." Llaxia suggested.
"They don't come in small, except for the children of course."
"Good point, and I doubt they'd make a child, our new assistant Chief."
"Exactly, it must be some kind of mistake," Reena said.
Trelor approached the assembled Officers from behind, carefully registering their remarks. It didn't take him much time to discern that the subject under discussion was himself. A faint smile played on his lips as he towered above one of the Petty Officers, jesting, "I'm quite confident they didn't appoint a kid as your new Assistant Chief." He chuckled, adding, "You'd be amazed at what I can accommodate when the situation demands."
"Lieutenant Trelor-Var of the Elanis Upsol," he introduced himself, "and you are?"
Hearing the unknown baritone voice behind her, Reena almost jumped out of her skin. "Sorry, sir, I meant no disrespect, I'm Chief Petty Officer Jol Reena, Damage Control Specialist." She said. "Nice to meet you sir."
Hiding a smirk, Llaxia said. "And I'm Chief Petty Officer Llaxia, Structural Engineer, Sir. I too meant no disrespect."
"Relax," he commented to them both, "I am not one for such formalities when the situation doesn't require it. We are after all a team here," he added. "Besides, neither of you knew I was on the ship yet, so no disrespect was intended; you were merely curious."
"Yeah, but I'm sure you've heard what happens to curious Terran felines." Llaxia said.
"I don't." Said Reena.
"Death." Llaxia replied.
"Oh." Was Reena's reply
"Lieutenant, we're glad you're not into formalities, It means you should fit right in with the Boss' management style." Reena said and Llaxia nodded her agreement.
El was leaning on the ring around the warp drive, mesmerised by the dancing pattern of the core, lost in thought. She heard the thoughts of the two walking in.
Odd, there's three of them she thought. can't read the big guy.
"Well ladies, Paisley asked to be transferred, The Lexington is about the head on a deep space survey, which is apparently more interesting." She explained.
"Hang on, Trelor ? Is that you ? Guido's let you off the Aurora ?"
The Grazerite turned looking at the voice, uncertain of who Guido was. "I am not sure if 'let off' is the proper term or not. However, in this instance, I would say that I was 'let off' of the Aurora." Trelor stood up a bit taller as the figure came into view. "It was time for a change," he smiled.
"I know what that's like, I dabbled in Security/Tactical for a while." Reena said.
"I've never wanted to be in security myself." Llaxia said. Turning to Trelor. "Good to meet you Lieutenant, but I must get back to work."
