[Captain's Ready Room]
Lt. Jg. Saunders had chimed the Captain's ready room door. The Galaxy class vessel was impressive, and he was extremely proud to be serving, if for the while, as temp Chief.
Entering when he had heard a signal, Saunders stepped before Captain Song's desk. He held in tightly saluting his commanding officer. "Captain, Lt. Jg. Saunders reporting for duty Ma'am." Damien snapped his salute crisp and to the point.
Cyndi studied the young officer in front of her for a minute "At ease lieutenant, I don't bite, please have a seat."
Damien eased himself. He let his eyes search around the Captain’s ready room. The Amandora was a standard Galaxy Class vessel, and he was proud to serve as always.
He nodded. “Captain.”
"I;m sorry I've not met with you sooner, but getting caught by these spiders was not how I expected my intentions. How are you liking the ship and your personal?" Cyndi asked. "Is there anything I need to be made aware of?"
“Yes, Captain.” He stood. “On the planet. I had wanted you to know Ma’am. That I am sincere in serving the federation, and the Amandora. I know you would not have me onboard if you felt I were compliant.”
Cyndi nodded "I know this lieutenant, and headquarters would not have assigned you to tackle a brand new star ship. You've seen us through the glitches in shakedown and now dealing with shutting down the warp core with these spiders to filling a pod with anti-matter so we could launch it on a shuttle to give our away teams a change to see to a rescue for any of those trapped ships. I know I speak for my first officer in saying we're glad to have you aboard."
The captain's warm words welcomed Damien. He had felt solace in the fact in knowing this was the ship. The Amandora had come to the rescue, and he would not forget that.
"It is I that is thankful for you Captain, but we digress Ma'am." He smiled slightly.
With that, he let himself out, to get back to work for the hard-working crew of the Amandora.
