(USS Exeter –Ready Room - CO, Captain Trip Williams - 11:30)

As Trip gathered his things to leave the ready room and head down to Risa,
he couldn’t help but reflect about how lucky he was. He had an amazing
wife, a child on the way, and his relationship with his “daughter” was
doing fine. Ronnie would never be “his” daughter. She was the daughter of
an Ash and Trip from a different timeline. But she was still genetically
his child, and he had grown to love her as his own, which was odd given
that they were genetically the same age. However that only helped their
bond as they could level with each other. He had even taken her out to the
holodeck to play catch and in private, she called him dad.

Because of that, because of his learning how to be Ronnie’s dad, it helped
him to be a better captain. He felt more seasoned, less the age he was and
more the age a captain should be. He was becoming more confident in his
abilities to lead. Of course it was no surprise. Growing up he was told two
things, that he was a leader, and that he was going to make a great dad.
Its probably because of those traits that Ravok and referred to him as Papa
Trip. Still being there for Ronnie helped to better understand his role in
the professional development of his crew. He wanted to see them grow, get
promoted, get new jobs. Part of his job was to get them there.

He was excited for his cousins to have their promotions, and was excited
that within a few months there would be two more Exeter class ships out in
Space. He knew Jimmy would be the Captain of the Lexington, but he wondered
who would be the Captain of the Hood. At that moment he received a hail on
a private channel.

=/\=Captain Williams, my name is Captain Rigoberto Sanchez, with Starfleet
Operations, I hope this isn’t a bad time.=/\=

“Not all Captain Sanchez, what can I do for you?”

=/\=Well, its more of a professional courtesy. Would you say that Commander
Ailynn Bracken would be a good captain?=/\=

“Of course.”

=/\=Good. Then this just means we were right. She does have experience with
this class after all. Then here is the courtesy, we would like to offer her
the position as commanding officer of the NCC-1703-D USS Hood. Before we
made the offer we wanted to let you know first, so you aren;t got off
guard.=/\=

“I appreciate the courtesy.” Trip said nodding. This was huge. She would do
well.

=/\=Well then Captain, we will send you the details, since you’ve known her
for a long time, why don’t you deliver the offer to her. I think that might
be a special moment.=/\=

“Thank you.”

=/\=Enjoy Risa captain. Sanchez out.=/\=

The hail ended and Trip stood up. ~Well, it was fun while it lasted.~
