Mission:
Episode 8 - The Silence
Location: Security Chief's Office - Deck 9 - USS Pioneer
Timeline: MD001 1145 hrs
Lieutenant JG Mira Jayde was a last-minute arrival on the Pioneer. She had a good deal to get done before she felt like she'd truly settled in. One of those was reporting to the Chief.
She walked into security and paused to look around before searching out Lieutenant Commander Myles.
Larim walked out into the outer office and immediately noticed the Lieutenant. "Must've just arrived." He thought. "Hello. May I help you, Lieutenant?"
She bowed. "I am Mira Jayde. I was just transferred to your department." She stood calmly, waiting for the lieutenant commander to speak.
"Oh. Pleasure to meet you." he offered his hand. "Step into my office please. Can I get you anything to eat? Drink?"
She shook his hand, then followed him into his office. "No, thank you." She took a moment to look around the office and take note of how he had it set up.
"Ok then. Make yourself comfortable." He smiled.
"Thank you, sir." Jayde took a seat opposite his desk and watched her new Chief to learn more about him.
Larim opened a file on his console. "Impressive record." He said
She inclined her head. "Thank you. Not all would agree with that sentiment. With recent activities, some question my allegiance since I came from the Maquis."
"All I see is someone in a Starfleet uniform. Besides, trusting Maquis worked for Admiral Janeway " he grinned.
"That's true." Jayde smiled back, pleased with his response. "This is also the first time since our first assignment that my sister and I have been on the same ship together."
"Oh? That's cool." Myles said, perking up.
"She's in intelligence. We served together in the Maquis, and then on our first starship. It will be interesting being together again after so many years apart." She smiled. "From what I've seen so far, I think we will both find a home here."
"Yep. It's a great ship alright. And WO Masters is a great supervisor. "
"I haven't met Chief Masters," Jayde said. "In fact, I haven't met many people yet." Jayde shrugged. "That will change,I am sure. Is there anything you want me to to focus on in particular?"
"Well, a couple of things." He began. "First. I'd lead some patrols or as I call it "walkabouts.." Excellent way to meet the crew. As for a focus, I'd say that would depend on what you consider your strengths." Larim replied.
Jayde thought about that. "I'd say I'm a better tactical officer. I like non-standard weapons and non-standard solutions to problems. I do not mind walking around to learn more about the crew and how they interact, but I am better in small groups." She raised an eyebrow. "Does that answer your question?" She liked infiltration and information-gathering, but that was not part of her current job description.
"Ok. Maybe we can organize a quick response team. To train with and support the marines." He offered.
"If the Marines are interested," she said. "Generally, we have separate responsibilities and skill sets. However, I have not been on the ship long enough to know how you operate here."
"I'll talk to Captain Tremble. In the meantime how about a mix of patrol duty and bridge duty?"
Jayde nodded. "That would be fine. However I can best be of help."
"Oh cool. We'll start there then." Larim smiled.
She nodded and stood as the meeting was clearly at an end. "Thank you, sir," she said, bowing. "I will, as you said, begin there."
