In this case, the captain who has held the rank the longest is the senior officer.<br/><br/>If you have two Lieutenant Commanders in a room, same thing, EXCEPT when one is in the jurisdictional authority of the other. Let's say the Chief Science Officer and Chief Engineer are in the lounge together, and the Chief Science Officer is the most senior. He would be the one in charge. However, if they went to main engineering, then it would revert to the Chief Engineer because that's his area of authority.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=329941.msg15759659#msg15759659">Quote from: Kuroneko on 19-02-2021, 03:13:46</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><strong>Gloom Cookie - </strong><br/><br/>Will the mission thread be the only IC thread, or will there also be other threads for non-mission scenes? <br/><br/>Thank you :-)<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Yes!
