Coming Aboard

"So you used... prototypes? The earlier forms?" she nodded, that made sense. She felt relieved for some odd reason. "That's good."

"The Constellation is a much bigger ship, likely they wouldn't be needed here anyway."

	"Smaller ship, smaller crew. If I feel like Engineering is underperforming, I'll bring it up with our Chief, but I'm going to try not to micromanage, since it's not MY department." Greggory sat on the edge of the bed as he finished unpacking. "What about Ops? Anything you need approved or requisitioned before we set off?"

	"No, now they're ALL your department," she said with a small smile. "No, well one thing... but I really need to take it up with our Security Chief first, when we get one." She patted the kemla at her thigh. "It's the same discussion every time I board a new ship."

	"Well, if you need it, I can put a good word in for you. I know you're responsible with that thing. As long as you don't go anywhere for shore leave," Greggory joked with a wink.

	That actually elicited a smile from her. "Nowhere with other people, anyway," she agreed.

	"I personally have no problem with senior staff being authorized to carry self-defense gear, rather than relying on Security for anything they can't handle unarmed. Even if it doesn't have a stun setting," he joked.

	She nodded. "We'll see what our security chief says when he or she comes on board. While you can override them, I dislike going over people's heads to get something I want. It's unprofessional."

	"I understand." Greggory looked around. Even with familiar objects, it would take a while before these new quarters would really feel like his. "I should probably let you get back to work. Without a dedicated quartermaster, I'm sure you've got plenty of work making sure we've got everything we should need." He stood to walk her to the door.

	She nodded. "Indeed, there is still much to do before the ship launches. I expect over the next several days the rest of my staff as well as those of the other departments will be arriving, and supplies continue to arrive every day." She made her way to the door and out into the hall. "Good luck at your new posting," she said with a small smile. "And congratulations."
