((Captain’s Ready Room - Deck 1 - USS Eagle-A))
There was a pause between the Captain and his First Officer. They were discussing the recent resignation from the Eagle-A of one Alexander Williams, a formerly solid officer, who had shown an extraordinary lack of judgement, and was now facing the music for it.
Adea: The funny thing is, if he hadn’t said anything, we might never have known. As it is, he’s heading back to the Academy. ::he smirked slightly:: Between you and me, they haven’t quite decided if he’s going to be a trainer or trainee.
The First Officer gave a faint, almost imperceptible nod, his lips pressing together in a slight, restrained grimace. He shifted subtly in his chair, a small contained movement which did not escape Genkos’ notice. His gaze dipped for a fraction of a second before returning to the captain.
Drex: I see. ::A short pause followed, his gaze steady on the captain.:: That’s… a significant shift for him.
Adea: Indeed.
Genkos let the matter rest there, deciding that he didn’t particularly want to discuss Williams any further. The Denobulan straightened slightly, shifting the conversation back toward more practical matters.
Drex: What’s your plan for the section now? None of our current officers have half his experience.
Adea: ::darkly:: None of our current officers have shown such bad judgment, either.
Drex: That’s true. ::He inhaled deeply, considering it for a moment before continuing. :: At least we’re still on shore leave, so there’s time to adjust.
Genkos nodded, then his hands spread wide on the desk.
Adea: This is true. I think the current department will pull together until we can name a replacement, but I’m not in too much of a rush.
Drex: Response
Adea: If you could put together a short list of possible replacements by the end of the week, please, that would be most appreciated. ::he stood, both hands leaning heavily on the desk:: Now, in the meantime, I believe I am due on the bridge. If you’ll excuse me?
Drex: Response
Genkos watched as the Denobulan took his leave, then the Captain picked up his cane and slipped on his jacket. Straightening his uniform in the reflection of the replicator screen, he gave himself a dismissive nod then started for the bridge.

"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
