USS Independence
Captain's Ready Room
1135 hours
After the crew rotations had begun and he had bid farewell to the outgoing personnel, Zack had retired to his Ready Room to review the service dossiers of their replacements. Most of them had fairly impressive service records, but a few were relatively undistinguished. Zack liked to think that he had pretty good instincts about people, so a lot of the time he went with his gut about staffing decisions. Zack knew that the Independence was not by a long shot the most glamorous or high-profile assignment; nonetheless he still tried hard to make everyone's stay on his little ship as painless as possible.
The incoming XO, Commander Jaden Thomas, had a quite impressive record of service under Commodore Mantrix Lanix. Zack did not kow the Commodore personnally, only by reputation; what Zack did know of the esteemed Commodore impressed him greatly and influenced his decision to offer the XO post to Commander Thomas. If Commodore Lanix had faith in her and her abilities, that was good enough for Zack. Equally impressive was the record of Lieutenant Rylen Lyo, the incoming Science Officer. Zack had met the young Trill man back in 2374 when Lyo had been aboard the Vermillion as a midshipman Cadet. The Trill transferred off that ship following graduation, and later he was joined to the Lyo symbiont who has nearly a millenium of life experience from 15 different hosts. Zack had kept up with Lyo's career and had offered him the Science Officer's slot when it became vacant. Lyo had been excited to accept.
Zack continued to work in silence, watching the chronometer intently to ensure that he was on time for the debrief with Adm. Malloway. He had yet to recieve acknowledgement from his XO that she was aboard and accounted for, but he expected to hear from her in due time.
