(( Chief Operations Officers Office - Deck 5 - USS Artemis-A))
The two Vs, Vel and Vailani, were sitting in the Operation Chief’s office, and they were putting the world to rights. And by the world, I mean the Artemis. They were drinking mugs of jumja tea that Vailani had replicated for them, and Glim held his very casually as he spoke honestly with her.
Vailani: Everyone seems :: sips her tea as she thinks of the right word :: Responsible? You should have seen my last crew. What makes them so bad?
Vel: Well, you’ve got the Captain who “manufactures” airlock malfunctions, an XO who has a libido the size of a moon, a CMO who can’t cure himself, and a bunch of lower deckers who range from homicidally insecure to insecurely homicidal.
Zoyara’s eyes widened as she placed her tea cup on the tray, completely taken in by Glim’s totally accurate description of the crew.
Vailani: Is there anyone on the crew you actually like? Besides yourself that is.
Glim seemed genuinely taken aback by the question - it wasn’t something he’d ever really considered. He narrowed his beady little eyes as he tried to concentrate on the ship’s roster and his internal ranking of them. Who was near the top?
Vel: I guess… Well, you seem okay, Commander.
She nodded at the Tellarite’s words and looked away as he took another long slurp of the tea, emptying the mug in one last glug. As he lowered the mug, he smacked his lips together in appreciation.
Vailani: You're supposed to :: raises her cup :: sips on the tea :: take a small sip :: Savour the taste of the jumja :: indicates the replicator :: I can replicate you another drink if you’d rather … slurp? I think something with more substance might be :: queasy :: more appropriate?
Again, Glim was a little confused, and after frowning, shook his head.
Vel: No, I’m good. ::he half rose, heavily smacking a hand down on the table to push up with:: Right, must be getting off.
Vailani: Okay, well it’s been - memorable :: indicates her desk :: I should really try and get some work started. Sounds as if I have my work cut out for me.
Vel: ::laughing:: That you do, that.. you… do…
And with a curt nod of the head, Glim left the office that used to be his for what he hoped would be the last time. He was pretty satisfied, having given his replacement a good idea of what it was she was going to be dealing with.

"You know, I'm really easy to get along with most of the time, but I don't like bullies and I don't like threats, and I don't like you, Culluh. You can try and stop us from getting to the truth but I promise you that if you do I will respond with all the 'unique technologies' at my command." - Kathryn Janeway
