The doors slid shut behind the Commander as he came to stand at-ease. "Come on Connor, have a seat." Steve said, gesturing with his arm in a waving fashion towards his desk. "We've worked together long enough not to stand on too high-a ceremony, pull up a pew."

As Steve walked around his desk to sit in his own chair, he flicked through a few PADDs on the surface, pulling out the one he was after and handed it to Connor, nodding slightly with his head at the contents. "Final prep plans for the ceremony this evening - only a few little touches I've added during the last 24 hours," He paused, rubbing his hand down his face again as before, "the galley needs to slightly adjust the courses we're having etcetc, all self-explanatory..."

It had been a long time coming, but the Main Gallery was beginning to look just as it should for the ceremony that evening... well, 3 weeks long to be precise, and all whose efforts had gone into prepping the Starbase for this day had made themselves inexpendable. It was things like these that Steve realise what an honor it was to serve with so many talented people... that and parties were one of Steve's favourite pass-times.

He waved the thoughts aside mentally as he began to reminisce on his time on Earth with his brother and nephew. Stick to duty for now Stevie-boy. He smiled a little, pulling himself back to talking with his Executive Officer. "How're the plans coming along for the Gateway? Computer tells me the Tachyon emissions were inflcting some system's functionality?"
