Captain's Ready Room
USS Independence, NCC-57216
1147 hours
Just moments after the Science Officer left, the door chime rang again and Zack gave them the okay to enter. It took him a few seconds to recognize his new Executive Officer, Commander Jaden Thomas. He had not paid attention to her profile photo, but he had remembered the major details--medium height and weight, blonde hair and blue eyes. Certainly not unattractive. Zack smiled and rose from his chair as she entered and approached the desk.
"You wished to see me Captain?" she said.
"Commander Thomas," he said with an outstretched hand to shake. "Welcome to the Independence. I've just been reviewing personnel files of our incoming officers. We've got some good talent, it would seem."
"Anything interesting in there Sir? I think an officer should be given a chance to prove there record wrong if it is bad and right if it is good. I don't read them other than to find out training history."
"I tend to do similar, although I also read the evaluations of their previous CO's and supervising officers to see if they believe there is room for improvement. Then I evaluate them myself informally. Oh...I'm sorry. Where are my manners? Please have a seat, make yourself at home." The XO unzipped her uniform jacket and took it off, putting it on the back of the chair and sitting down. "You don't stand on ceremony, Commander. I like that. I tend to run a pretty casual ship."
"So whats the plans Sir?" she asked.
"Well for starters you can dispense with the 'Sir' nonsense unless there are Fleet brass in the room. Captain is fine, or even Zack. I sent you the details of the upcoming meetings in my first communique to you. Debrief by the Admiralty at 1300 in Conference Room Alpha on the Starbase, duty uniform dress. Ceremony at 1900 in the Main Gallery of the Starbase, dress uniform required. Some of the details of this project are available to you under file 'Epsilon Ico Delta' in the main computer. The rest is eyes only, classified, and you'll get that information at the debrief. Once this ceremony is done and over with, we'll be heading out to Sector 575 for a mapping survey mission. It's just beyond the Federation border, and its being considered for colonization. Should prove to be uneventful. Any questions?"
