Captain Airik Mitchell left his quarters after sending a message to Admiral Dallas Vincent. In a half day's time the McNair would find its way to the border of the Romulan Neutral Zone. For now, he was going to relax with his new crew.<br/><br/>Entering in Three-Forward, there were already crew members assembled and enjoying the company of comrades.<br/><br/>There was a continuum of Captain involvement in the socializing of crew. Some Captains jumped right into the fray. They joked, drank, and partied with everyone. They had a relationship more akin to friendship. That required a bit of careful fine line walking.<br/><br/>Another set of Captains completely isolated themselves from the crew. While they were respectful, they rarely socialized. These Captains acknowledged the hierarchy of a vessel and strictly followed it. They left socializing to their First or Second Officer.<br/><br/>Airik hoped to fall in between.

It was time to test that theory.<br/><br/>"I'll take a glass of white wine." Airik asked the crewman staffing the bar.
