(USS Illuminar Dec 2 XO’s Office – Ensign Torek, Operations – 1601)



The door opened and Torek stepped in. “Ensign Torek, please get yourself
some refreshment from the replicator.  We are waiting for a few more crew
to arrive.”



“Thank you, Ma’am,” he replied as he moved to the replicator.  He ordered
an allira punch and waited as the machine replicated the fruity beverage.



Torek waited before taking a seat as he studied the woman in front of him.
“Ensign, while we are waiting on Ensign Piripi and Counselor Laredo to
arrive, what do you think about the ship?  I realize you have only been
aboard for a few hours.”



Torek smelled a trap.  She knew he had only been here a short time. “Warm.
More to my liking than the cold of Tellar Prime. I was raised in space, on
the SS Valkryie, planets are strange, loud and confusing places.”



“Are there any areas that interest you in particular?  Hobbies that are not
mentioned in your file?” she asked.



“I am here to do a job, Ma’am. Reigning in chaos and bringing order to an
inherently disordered system. I find that conquering chaos is its own
reward. As for hobbies, I play Parrises Squares.  I was the captain of the
academy team.  To relax I play racquetball, and have been learning
springball.”



"Are there any ambitions that you have?  I need to tailor your training to
your desires and temper that with what the ship needs,” she asked.



“I serve at the pleasure of Star Fleet,” he replied.  “Attention to duty
and detail brings honor to the ship and the Captain, that is what I desire.”



The door chimed and a woman entered.  Moments later, another figure
entered. He was intrigued by the woman, who wore an old-school VISOR.
Those were unusual these days. He sipped his drink and listened to the
conversation the Commander had with the new arrivals.  Introductions were
exchanged and the commander leaned forward.



“Ensigns, the information that I am going to share with the tow of you is
considered by StarFleet to be Top Secret, level 7.  Per Starfleet
regulations, this briefing is considered ship-specific information that you
are not allowed to share with anyone outside the Illuminar below the rank
of Captain.”



Intriguing, the Klingon thought.  “Yes Ma’am, understood.”
