(( Captain’s Ready Room – Deck 1, USS Artemis-A ))
The meeting had been an interesting one. The last time she'd been under the now Fleet Captain’s direct command she was an ensign. If she was honest with herself she had a lot of growing up to do and it had been difficult at times. She'd lost people along the way and had some tough lessons to learn.
MacKenzie: Anything on your mind before I turn you to the wolves?
Vailani: I feel I have to ask. Is there a particular person that I have to be concerned about sir?
MacKenzie raised an eyebrow.
MacKenzie: I suppose it’s hard for me to say – I guess in many instances, you know some of these people far better than I do, given how closely you would have served with them last time you were aboard…
Vailani: :: reflective :: I suppose so…
Zoyara didn't think it necessary to mention that she wasn't the most gregarious person the last time she served, however she did have a good recollection of those who were competent and more importantly those she considered the opposite.
The commanding officer of the Artemis rocked her head from side to side.
MacKenzie: I suppose I should turn the question back to you, then… Is there a particular person on the crew with whom you’re concerned about serving?
Vailani: Not at all. I'm confident that the department will adjust. I expect, with change, there may be some teething issues but I assure you Captain that you will not need to worry about the operations department.
It was the truth as she saw it. Zoyara wasn't going to spend her time worrying about potential problems that may not develop into actual problems.
Mackenzie: Response
Vailani: Thank you Captain for having confidence in me, I'm just eager to get started and settle in. I'll not take up anymore of your time unless there is anything else you'd like to discuss?
MacKenzie: Response
Vailani: To the wolves I go.
MacKenzie: Response
Zoyara nodded and made a hasty exit from the ready room just in case the CO had something else to question her about. It wasn't until she had left that she realised she'd been tensing her stomach the entire time. She released her muscle with a relieved breath.
Tag, and End Scene for Vailani.
