Captain Airik Mitchell stared at the viewer on the wall with a half smile on his face. He'd played the game well and slipped a transfer right under one of his best friend's noses.<br/><br/>"Must be nice having an Admiral in your back pocket, Captain." Jason Smythe cocked an eyebrow. The Commanding Officer of the Horatio leaned back in his chair.<br/><br/>"Jealous?" Airik asked his Academy roommate.<br/><br/>Jason chuckled. "Too bad he's stuck in the middle of Romulan space and had nothing to do with this transfer. Who else are you sleeping with that I should know about?"<br/><br/>Airik shook his head. "Oh no, I'm not telling my secrets. Besides, I completed the appropriate paperwork and it's not my fault you don't follow protocol. She belongs to the McNair now."<br/><br/>The human sighed. "I already have the paperwork completed on the next transfer. I'll beat you to that one. Tell stick he doesn't know what he's got himself into."<br/><br/>Airik laughed as the screen went blank. 'Stick' was Jason's pet name for Dallas, who did seem to change from his more loose ways in the Academy to a rather rigid Admiral. Airik thought for a moment about his partner. The distance was far between them, but Airik was confident they'd reunite soon.<br/><br/>=/\= Computer, relay a message to Lieutenant Jeela Lurae to report to my Ready Room when she's available. =/\=<br/><br/>It was nothing urgent, the ship was currently on break, but he would like to meet his new Chief Counselor.
