<div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/3/32/OdedFehr.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Commander Kar'tak Timor Vanzell, First Officer (http://elliquiy.com/wiki/Kar%27tak_Timor_Vanzell)<br/><br/><strong>Location:</strong>Bridge<br/><br/><strong>Time:</strong>Mid-morning<br/><br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Captain Lyra Core, Ensign Liara, Anyone else on the bridge<br/><hr/><div style="text-align: justify;"><br/>Kar'tak heard the doors to the turbolift open and lifted his head, watching Ensign Liara step onto the bridge and swiftly make her way to her station. Kar'tak glanced down at his datapad and noted the time. With a furrowed brow... he rose form his seat, and casually approached the Ensign's station, taking enough time to do so that she'd have ample time to sign-in to her station.<br/><br/>Kar'tak glanced back at the Captain where she stood talking to Ares. He wasn't sure if the Captain noticed Ensign's late arrival or not, but he decided to follow-up. If he didn't, then the Captain might be following up with -him- later for not doing so.<br/><br/>"Ensign Liara," he said, his deep voice firm - but relaxed. He did not raise his voice, and he had no wish to embarrass the officer in front of others. But truly his voice held more concern than scorn. "You are seventeen minutes late for your shift. Is everything alright?" he asked. Being part bajoran himself, he had the vague sense that she was distracted, or possibly agitated or anxious, though he could be wrong of course. He hadn't noticed the ensign being later any other time, and on a ship like this there were inevitable delays sometimes. Even he, the Captain, and other senior officers had experienced them at one time or another. But his concern for the crew - especially the bridge crew - was genuine and uncompromising. He stood behind where she sat, awaiting her response.</div>
