Arik wasn't sure if that was the right word for it, but at least nothing major had gone wrong. There had been some small hiccups here or there but his crew had managed them with minimal disruptions and minimal handholding from him. It gave everyone just enough to do to keep them busy, and just enough to prove themselves and their competence, as well as the ship's. And the ship itself was truly a beauty, Arik was quite happy to have her as his first command. It was certainly a good bit better than a tiny research vessel assigned to some already established sector of space. It was weird to consider such things now, for such things to offer a feeling of excitement to him. But here they were, on fairly 'new' and quite capable ship. The shakedown was going well, and he was curious to see how the crew faired on their first real missions.<br/><br/>Now that most of the issues with the ship had been taken care of it was time to gather the crew together again, to get their insights about the ship and the crew and the issues they'd encountered so far, as well as fill them in on any news from Starfleet that he might have. Arik had arrived at the meeting room rather early, using the quiet time to enjoy the view while reviewing the previous night's shiplogs to get his own idea of how the crew was doing. Glancing over at the clock he saw that it would soon be time for the others to start arriving, and he was eager to see what they had to say.
