Location: Main Bridge, USS Guardian
Character: Commander Gaer

He nodded to his Captain and took the center seat.

"Of course, Captain, I'll see to it."

As the Captain vanished into the Turbolift Gaer tapped his own combadge.

"Transfer Officers, please report to the Conference Room for assignment orientation."

Location: Transporter Room 1 - USS Guardian
Character: PO1 Roekil

The transport cycle for the Captain and the teary-eyed Lieutenant completed and Roekil let himself relax, just a bit. When the officers had entered the transporter room, he had snapped to attention, well, snapped as well as a 600lb man could.

He noticed the Transporter Operator kept eying him, obviously nervous. Roekil smiled, internally that is. He kept his face just as stony and without expression as he had the whole time, waiting for the right moment. There it is! He turned and faced the transporter officer, a young PO3. "Is there a problem, Petty Officer?"

"N..no sir." the junior NCO answered him and snapped his eyes back to the transporter control panel in front of him. Roekil got great pleasure from being considered "scary" and even greater pleasure in using that reputation.

USS Hartington
Captain Marek

Marek stepped off the transporter pad, glancing over as the Lieutenant did the same. He looked at his welcoming committee, as he clasped his hands behind his back.

Standing before the Captain of the Guardian is the form of the Caitian Yeomen, M'Rowl. She inclines her head to the Vulcan and smiles.

"Captain Marek, welcome aboard the Hartington. Captain Brennon will receive you and your party in the Conference Room. If you'll follow me, Sirs."

USS Hartington Transporter room ?
Captain Marek

Marek nods, then motions for Toran to follow. They both follow the Yeomen out of the transporter room. As they walk, Marek makes an attempt at small talk.

"How long have you served under Captain Brennon, Yeomen?"

M'Rowl strides towards the nearest turbolift, nodding to a few crewmen along the way. She looks back to Captain Marek as he asked his question.

"How long have you served under Captain Brennon, Yeomen?"

"I've been his assistant for five years, since right after the end of my basic training. He was Professor of Anthropology at Starfleet Academy for two years before the war."

Captain Marek

Marek raises an eyebrow.

"Fascinating, I was unaware that Captain Brennon had taught at the academy." Marek follows as they enter the turbolift.

"Anthropology no less."

Lieutenant Audrid Toran

Audrid was beginning to get a little irritated. Vulcans can be so obtuse What was she doing here? She did her best to hide her irritation, but she couldn't help a small huff escaping her lips, she quickly coughed to cover it up.

Yeomen M'Rowl stood against the far wall and called out the lift's destination.

"Main Bridge."

She looked back towards Captain Marek a little quizzically.

"Yes, the social sciences have been a deep interest for him most of his life. His mother is a History Professor at McKay University on Mars. The way he tells it, Command wasn't ever on the agenda. Have you ever met before?"

Captain Marek

Marek answers, his hands still clasped behind his back.

"No I have not met the Captain. I served on the Valley Forge at that time. I only began teaching at the Academy after the war."

A brief grimace crosses his face, but disappears so quickly as to make one doubt they saw it. He glances at Toran then back at M'Rowl.

"My colleagues at the Academy spoke very highly of him, I believe he is missed by many."

A smile crept across M'Rowl's feline face as the Captain spoke. She knew that it was true. Even now, three years after they had left, there were still many who sent messages to her Commanding Officer asking him to return to the faculty... the next line of thoughts caused her smile to fade away, memories of the Captain's late wife and his personal struggles over the past year.

"He enjoyed the work very much... but after the War he didn't feel content staying put. We've been waiting for this assignment for a while."

The doors to the Bridge opened up and M'Rowl led the pair through towards the Conference Room.

Captain Marek

Marek stopped just outside of the conference room.

"Thank you for your assistance, Yeomen M'Rowl."
He waited for the door to open, then entered, glancing around. Toran follows less enthusiastically.

Character: Captain David Brennon, Yeomen M'Rowl

M'Rowl nods and recedes into daily rush of activity on the Bridge.

As conference room door opened, Captain Brennon waited at the table beyond the threshold. He looked towards the opened door to his Vulcan counterpart.

"Captain, welcome aboard the Hartington. Come on in."

Captain Marek

Marek strides forward offering his hand,

"Thank you, Captain Brennon, this Lieutenant Toran." He motions for her to approach.

LT Toran

Toran stepped forward a step when she was mentioned. She gave a brisk nod.

"Sir." What the hell am I doing here She kept her face neutral, keeping the turmoil at bay for now.

Location: Conference Room, USS Hartington
Character: Captain David Brennon

Captain Brennon shook the Captain and Intelligence Officer's hand and motioned for the two of them to take a seat.

"It's a pleasure, Captain, Lieutenant."

He sat down at the head of the table and slid a PADD over to the Captain of the Guardian.

"Here is a list of all the transferring crewmen, shouldn't take very long for it to be done..."

He looked down to the chronometer embedded into the table.

"In fact they should be all set."

Brennon sat back in his chair, eyes moving from officer to officer. After a moment he spoke up again.

"Is there anything I can have sent up? A meal perhaps?"

Conference room USS Hartington
Captain Marek

At this point it finally occured to Marek that he might have asked the Lieutenant's wishes on the matter. He glanced at her as he sat.

"I thought that Audrid, " He used her first name to emphasize the fact that this was not an order, "may wish to converse with one or more of your Trill crewmembers." He glanced over at her, "I apologize, it only just occured to me that I should have query you on the matter before I ordered you to accompany me."

Lt Toran

As the Captain spoke, her knee-jerk reaction was anger, but by the time he had finished, she realized that his Vulcan heart had meant the best, and it might make her feel better to talk to a fellow Trill. She was sure the range of emotions she had just felt was plain for all to see, she spoke humbly.

"No apology needed sir. I think that would be...good for me. Sir."
