(Exeter, Personal Quarters, Security Ensign sg Roger Harmon, 0745)

Roger yawned. His duty shift was starting soon, but it was a slow morning as he had gotten little sleep. Knowing Ashley was going to recover from her injuries was a comfort, but it was also a realization of what could happen to any of them in the course of their duties.

Roger was disappointed Ashley hadn't reached out to him. Though she probably will at some point, he wished it already happened. Of course, he understood that she didn't want him to worry and he would have done the same.

On morning rounds, Roger finished his sweep of deck 8 and was circling back to the main security office. He could see Lieutenant Williams in the corridor.

"Ensign Harmon? Are you busy?"

"I am, sir." When the boss asked if you were busy, you never said no.

"Good. Good."

Roger wondered if he did something wrong.

"I guess you know that we have a group of marines coming to live with us?" said Williams.

"I heard. They've taken over the holodeck." Roger wasn't thrilled that some admiral decided they needed marines. It was a subtle slap implying sec/tac needed help.

"Have you had much experience working with marines?" said Williams.

"Only a few times in joint training exercises at the academy," said Roger. "They're good at what they do, but we're better."
