Mission:
After the Storm
Location: Llewellyn's quarters, Station Ops
Timeline: Current
Cale woke up a little earlier than was normal for him. He had a fitful sleep because he was so anxious about his 'first day' on the job. Cale had never felt this oddly about a new assignment. But, he felt as thought he should give himself time to get ready and find his way to the command center of the starbase mainly since he sure it wouldn't be in the same place as a starship; it couldn't be he thought. So, once he was ready and back in red, he left his quarters and made his way there.
He was clearly nervous as he made good time and was quite pleased about this new assignment. He took the long way to Level 12 which was where the Main Operations Centre was located. As he entered the centre, he looked around and saw the officers and non-coms working there. He assumed this was still the night shift. He walked over to a console and began talking to the crewman there.
"Excuse me, I'm Commander Cale Llewellyn, Strategic Operations Officer and it's my first day on the job. I was wondering where my console is," he said a bit more timidly than he usually would be.
"Yes, Commander Llewellyn, it's good to meet you. I'm Lieutenant Nvaiden, and I was told you were here. You're in luck because this is the Strat Ops console. I'm one of you staff," the tall Romulan-esque male said with a smile that lit up the room.
Llewellyn was shocked to say the least.
The double transparent aluminum pained doors marking the commanding officer's office slid open with a soft whoosh. Out stepped a tired Captain Von, who was stifling a yawn. Her eyes widened when she spotted Llewellyn, and she gave him a nod. Giving up on stifling the yawn, she finished the action with her fist over her mouth before addressing her new officer. "Welcome to Main Operations, Commander. Forgive me for the lack of energy. I ended up working later than I intended last night."
"Well, thank you, Captain. And don't worry about it, as I didn't get much sleep myself," Cale laughed. "I was so jazzed to start I was tempted to work through the night but thankfully I didn't. There seems to be an odd feeling around Ops this morning, Captain. I'm not sure what it is. I was never trained in deciphering what I feel. But I have gotten better control over my 'gift' in recent years thanks to a Vulcan nurse on one of my last ships. T'Lan was very helpful indeed. But, now I'm rambling," Cale blushed when he realized he had been oversharing...again!
Liarra dismissed the claim with a wave of her hand. "Don't worry about it, Commander. I think we're still getting settled after a rough stretch. I don't know if you had caught up on the most recent logs, but the station had been hit with an ion storm, a wormhole, and a deadly swarm of space bugs all in the course of several days. We're finally getting back to normal around here."
"Actually, Captain, I had not gotten that far...yet. Then I won't bother you any longer. Lt. Nvaiden, can you bring me a PADD with the most recent logs, please? It seems like my command codes have yet to be working," Cale said looking over to his console.
"I'll let you get settled in and get to work. Lieutenant Nvaiden has been with the station for a long time, and I have no doubt that he can get you up to speed," Von added, gesturing towards the lieutenant. "If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask."
"Thank you, Captain," he said then looked over to the lieutenant. "Lieutenant Nvaiden, what do you have for me?" And the Romulan-esque lieutenant gave Llewellyn the PADD.
"Commander, if there is anything else you require, please don't hesitate to ask," Nvaiden said.
