Location: Starbase protector Ops
Timeline: Current

ON:

A Prometheus class starship dropped out warp some 100 kilometers from the station and opened a channel =A= Starbase Protector this is the USS Wain we have a new addition to your crew he ready for transport request permission to beam him aboard, he request to beam directly to ops.=A=

Drake was sitting at the main tactical console, trying to calibrate the forth quadrant of the tertiary phaser arrays. The station wasn't at full capacity yet and most departments were still suffering from shortages. However Tactical & Strategic Operations were certainly had the lowest count by a long shot. It was of no consequence as it was a welcome break from his paperwork.

As the Operations Officer cleared the Prometheus to begin transport, Ashton ceased tapping the console and looked up.. curious to see who was so eager to begin their duty on Protector. There were tens of thousands of Starfleet and Marine personnel on board and not one had requested to be beamed directly to Ops.

A quick blue shimmer revealed a tall, board shoulder square chinned Solomon faced man in a neatly pressed heavily starched uniform wearing a white powered wig. “I am Lieutenant Sir Edward Lawrence XII Earl of Oaksley and the new assistant chief tactical/ Strategic Operations officer, kindly tell me who I report into to and were my quarters so that I can started.” He said with tone that resounded with arrogance, and a sense of entitlement .

Cara had been walking in the door after checking out the XO office and starting to organise. She said outloud "Excuse me Lt?" in an incredulous voice.

"Yes, Major." Lawrence respounded.

"The man you were rudely talking to is the CO of this station ... and Im the XO ... kindly moderate your arrogance please."

“I see, my apologies is there anything particular I need to know before I start work.” Lawrence replied unshaken by the XO.

"The station is still undergoing repairs and there are areas where people can sneak on board as we have found out which are blank spots ... we need them charted in the next month ... it will be your job along with the Chief to see that that is done."

“Very well, if you’ll direct me to my quarters I have something to drop off there and shall start on charting these black spots of yours.” Lawrence replied.

Nodding she brought his information up and copied it onto a PADD for him "There you go Lt."

Lawrence accepted padd with one hand and revealed his ancestors’’ sword with the other, “I look forward to serving with all of you.” Lawrence said as started toward the turbo lift.

Cara raised an eyebrow at Ash behind the Lt's back as if asking 'Is this guys for real?'

Lawrence proceeded to the tubro lift and then to his qaurters.
