Mission:
Episode 12 - Risin' To Risa
Location: Security - Deck 9 - USS Pioneer
Timeline: MD007 1300 hrs
The Pioneer having finally arrived at Empok Nor, Leela had said goodbye to Dartaw and made her way to Pylon 7?, where the ship was docked.
After a brief delay at the airlock while her orders were processed, she made her way aboard the ship.
Making her way down the corridors, she saw several crew, some in uniform, and others in civilian clothes. The latter were probably on their way to shoreleave.
Eventually she made her way to the Security Department and to her New Boss's Office door, she activated the door chime and waited.
Larim was taking a raktajino out of his replicator when he heard his door chime. "Enter" he said. He took a sip and waited for his latest guest.
Leela entered. Walking up to his desk. She stood at parade rest and said. "Senior Chief Petty Officer Leela Capella, sir."
"Welcome to the Pioneer, Senior Chief." Larim began. 'At ease. Feel free to sit if you'd like"
"Thank you, sir." Leela said taking the offered seat, but sitting on the very edge of it.
Realising her posture looked a little odd, she said, "I have my N'ret, a short sword in a scabbard on my back, it makes sitting back in chairs uncomfortable." "May I remove it?" She asked. "You will probably want to examine it anyway."
"That's fine by me." Larim said. "Can I get you anything to drink?" He asked as he awaited the weapon.
"A Cafe' Mocha, please." Leela said as she stood and drew the weapon.
She then placed it gently on the Commander's desk and returned to her seat.
"One Cafe' Mocha " Larim said. The drink materialized and he handed it over. He then gently picked up the weapon. "Impressive sword you have here, Senior Chief." He said, as he drew it from its scabbard.
"Thank you, sir." Leela said. "It was made in the traditional way from high grade Capellan steel. It is perfectly balanced and made specifically for my hand." She explained.
"Nice." he smiled. "Very nice indeed."
"My mother had it made for me, she didn't agree with my father trying to marry me off to form an alliance with another lord." Leela replied.
Larim nodded. "I know mine wouldn't " He sort of smiled
Leela smiled. "I know my people's customs are considered backward and oppressive by a lot of Federation members, and I agree, but they have kept my people strong all these long years." She said.
"And if it makes up part of who you are, who am I to judge?" Larim said.
"Thank you for your understanding, Commander." Leela said.
"No problem at all." Larim replied
"Is there anything about the department, or your style of leadership, before I begin my duties?" Leela asked.
"Nope, not at this time. Thanks for checking in." Larim said there was a slight distraction in the back of his mind. Something that he had to check in with his wife about.
