Samuel turned quickly when the doors to the Ready Room whisked open and he saw his new Captain enter, nearly knocking them both over.  Guess he hadn't been expecting anyone here.  "Thank you, sir.  It's good to be here."  He shook the Captain's hand, and nodded.  "I believe that is the saying, sir."<br/><br/>As Airik walked over to the replicator, he followed the Ba'ku man.  "Captain, I've seen heavy combat against Jem'Hadar cruisers, and repaired sparking power couplings for a transporter with nothing but an Ensign's toolkit."  There was a wry smile on his face, obviously being in good humor.  "I think I can handle a simple replicator."  Once Airik had his water, he gave his order.  "Coffee.  Black."<br/><br/>Taking the cup, he sat down in the chair most directly opposite the Captain.  "I must say, Captain.  You have a very nice ship here, sir."
