James Bird returned to the ready room after the others filed out .

" Do you have time to speak to me now Commodore?" James asked.

"I do," Cyndi said "Let's take this to my ready room, she led the way to her ready room and waited for Bird to enter "Please have a seat."

James sat down and looked up at the Raven beauty before him.

":The Admiral never stops talking about you."

"You have me at a disadvantage, how is it you know my husband?" Cyndi asked " He's never mentioned your name before."

" I am his personal assistant. His head of security .
Since retiring Star Fleet felt he needed protection. The only problem is he refuses my help. It is imperative that he not do this. There is a Romulan element that does not like Admiral Sanderson which is why I was assigned to him. If you have any pull with your husband you need to tell him to take this seriously." Bird replied.

"Up until two weeks ago he was on my home planet of Klavor. Am I to assume that's where you've been and if so why wasn't I informed?" Cyndi asked.

" I am not at liberty to say Commodore. He did allow me to come with him here which is a big deal. A section of Star Fleet actually wants the Admiral to come back to active service, to come out of retirement." James replied .

"Paul was injured during a diplomatic function a couple years ago and was offered an early retirement. Due to who I am on Klavor he chose to live there and raise our son. I highly doubt he'll return to active duty," Cyndi said "But if your living on Klavor I hope you understand our laws and customs. Paul had to learn them when he married me. When it comes to the matter of the Klavorian Government I do need to know," Cyndi said.

James stood and walked around the room.

" Commodore the Admiral's safety is my priority. Where he lives is irrelevant to me. He is the most boring officer I have ever protected. In fact if you have an opening here I'll take it. Sounds like your mission is about to get real exciting, I want in ma'am." James added .

"I do have several openings," Cyndi responded "What sparks your interest?" she slid a PADD over to him with a list of open positions .

" Stellar Cartography, flight chief, XO? If I take XO do I get to beam down too?" James joked

"You do, that is if I don't decide to go," Cyndi said "So do you want to be my XO? That will mean you'll no longer need to protect my husband."

" That's a good point Commodore I swore an oath to protect him... How long is he staying? Maybe you could tell him to stay a while and that you need a good XO. That way I get to do both?" Bird replied .

"He hasn't said how long he's planning on staying. But rest assured he'll be safe. I'm armed at all times and ship's security can protect him as well. So relax and trust me and the security," Cyndi replied.

" I trust no one Commodore. But I would be happy to serve as your executive officer." Bird replied .

"Then I'll make it official," Cyndi said "But you are going to have to trust me. Welcome to the Amandora as her Executive Officer. I'll speak to Paul as well and find out how long he's planning on staying. In the meantime any questions for me?"

" He is attached to a PADD he is never without. Your son's face is always talking to him but I am not so sure it is your son doing the talking. You night want to look into that Commodore. As I said there are entities in Star Fleet wishing the Admiral to come out of retirement." Bird urged.

"I'll contact my parents and I'll look at Paul's PADD. It may be Brent, he's a daddy's boy," Cyndi remarked "But I do know Paul has no interest of coming out of retirement. He's content to be my husband and our son's dad."

" A whipped warrior. In the days of old my ancestors treated our elders with such respect...until they died." Bird added.

"You have me confused," Cyndi commented.

" Nothing Commodore. I will excuse myself and prepare for my new role ." James replied.

"I'll log you in as active and as my new first officer. Stop by my quarters in the near future and speak with Paul and myself," Cyndi suggested.

" Yes ma'am Commodore Song. Wa do...thank you.' Bird replied using a native Cherokee phrase

"Your welcome," Cyndi replied getting to her feet and walking around her desk. "Welcome to the Amandora commander."
