Lt. Commander T'Ama - It Would Be Logical If We Met.

T’Ama had a terrible track record with award ceremonies. Every single one of them ended up making her mad - except that one where she’d been promoted to Lieutenant Commander and Second Officer. That was a good one.
This one had shaken her. It wasn’t just the new ship - she was having to leave behind “her” Operations center anyway with the new job as First Officer. It was the new boss too. What was she like? She more or less knew where she stood with Serala. They weren’t close but she was at least familiar.
Really T’Ama just wanted to leave and go to bed and meditate or whatever, but she was, as far as she knew, still the first officer of this crew, and she would be damned if she wasn’t going to speak to the new captain.
The crowd had broken up to get at the refreshments, and so T’Ama tilted her chin up and beelined straight for Captain Aleron.
T’Ama: Captain Aleron! Lieutenant Commander T’Ama, First Officer. Of the Chin’toka.
The woman was just slightly taller than her, the sort of perfectly beautiful woman who had no distinguishing features other than being attractive. T’Ama raised her hand in a Vulcan salute.
Aleron: response
T’Ama: I wish to inquire if I will be transferred to the Valkyrie too as her first officer.
Polite, Vulcan.
Aleron: response
T’Ama: Then perhaps it would be logical if we met.
Aleron: response
