“Make Yourself Useless”
((GATOR Deck, Deck Twelve, USS Octavia E. Butler))
((OOC: More on the boxes later…))
Jacen was trying to make himself useful…and at the same time trying to kill two birds with one stone by following up with his latest visit – which took him to the SFMC detachments heart on the GATOR deck of the OEB.
He was pushing one of the two anti-grav lifts that contained several boxes – an operations petty officer was pushing the other. There contents were a small gift that he’d managed to secure for the marine contingent for some field trials and he aimed to deliver them to the senior marine and current acting chief tactical officer - Captain Michele Winters.
The two officers brought them into the main area, past the sentries who eyes the new officer somewhat suspiciously but his ID, while still restricted, did check out. Once they’d got them into the main area, ready for unloading, he looked around to see the woman he recognised from his arrival documents approaching.
He came to attention.
Xaivis: Captain Winters. Second Lieutenant Jacen Xaivis
Winters: Response
Xaivis: Thank you, Captain…or do you prefer Ma’am?
He rolled the word to rhyme with ‘arm’
Winters: Response
Xaivis: As you say. I’m looking forward to not being useful.
Winters: Response
Xaivis: ::Smiling:: I’m a Combat Rescue Officer…when we’re useful it usually means there’s a major problem.
Winters: Response
