Commander Xander Grayn slowly strolled around the bridge, chatting with each of the new crew members, ensuring that they were doing their jobs well.  He knew they were, but as the Executive Officer or "First Officer" Xander was in charge of the people and ensuring that the ship operated at peak efficiency.  He was very good at his job, the natural charm and demeanor of being an Orion ensured that.  He wasn't a large powerful man like the Security officer but what he lacked in sheer size he made up for in agility.  Standing about five foot eleven, his tone muscular build showed through every tight inch of his Star Fleet uniform.  His close cropped reddish brown hair along with his small mustache and goatee accented his thin but sculpted face.<br/><br/>Xander was chatting up one of the young female science officers when the Captain requested the ships progress.  His attention was caught by the cute new Ops officer who replied.  She was new to space travel but she seemed to grasp the job very quickly.  Xander chuckled to himself for a moment how he could help this young naive woman experience the wonders of space travel.  After a moment lost in his steamy thoughts Xander returned to the chair directly next to the Captains chair and checked to make sure all of his department heads were ready for the mission.<br/>
