				Commander Halttas stood waiting as the last shuttle from Earth entered the shuttlebay and powered down. Hands clasped behind his back, as stern look as he waited for those aboard the shuttles to file out and line up. Once all were assembled, he finally spoke. “Well it’s good of you to join us here, finally. Now the USS Europa, Starfleet’s newest, and best ship for the continued exploration of our galaxy can finally get underway. While the lot of you were busy with petty things like ‘graduating the Academy’, or taking leave to be with loved ones, or finishing an extra course the Vulcan Academy of Sciences, or whatever your excuse is to be on the last damn shuttles - the rest of us have been busy getting this beauty ready to go.”<br><br>Finally the large, 6'3" male Orion moved; pacing up and down the line of those that just got off the shuttles, staring at each of them in turn. “I am Commander Halttas, first officer on this ship. The Captain told me to come down here and give you a warm welcome. This is as warm as it gets. You are the last, so you are late. Don’t be late. Don’t slow the Europa here down. That is my number one rule. This ship is scheduled to depart this glorious shipyards at 0900 tomorrow morning. If we are not ready by 0600, then I will have hit a personal limit with these yard dogs, and start pulling their arms off and beating them to death with their own limbs. Captain Desai would like to avoid this. As such, you all are going to get on the same schedule the rest of the ship has adopted - three hours early, or we’re late! Now stow your gear against that bulkhead and report to your section chiefs. You can come back and grab your things and find wherever it is you've been assigned to rest your weary head later. Now move!” <br><br>He had pointed to the far wall of the shuttle bay where they could put their things. The moment he told them to move, Lt. Cmdr. D'Yebhoth and his security officers started shouting at the masses, getting them to move in a rather expedient fashion. Commander Halttas suppressed a smirk and walked out the opposite door, making his way to the bridge. <br><br>Once he arrived he was grinning, no longer able to hide it. The Captain took note of this immediately, “Commander, did you harass that group that just came up from Earth...the one comprised of mostly recent graduates of one form or another?” Her wry grin stated she knew all too well that he had. <br><br>“I suspect Ma’am, that our latest additions to the crew are highly motivated to work and ensure we set records leaving here in the morning. And no one was injured. Beyond that I am pleased to report all assigned personnel are now on board Ma’am.” <br><br>The Captain made an amused scoffing sound, and went back to reviewing the pile of reports that sat beside ‘the big chair’ her lady like form was sitting in. Halttas also took his seat beside her and and a hand over his bald head as he considered going over the stack of PADDs waiting for him. Launching a new ship on time was impossible. Launching her early for her first deeps space mission... well Halttas was all too supported of the Captain’s wish to set records. <br>

				Lt(Jg) Vash'yr, looked trough the window of the shuttle, There it was, such a beauty, it was finally completed, the sun rays hitted the hull, giving it a gold color tone. NCC-80104 was visible, She could see the maintenance shuttle leaving the hull, last minutes adjustment, correction, fixes. She remembered, seeing it being build slowly during piloting practice...passing by it. Suva smiled, this was so perfect. <br><br>The shuttle finally landed, Suva remembered by heard, were exactly were they were, knowing that there 4 access to Shuttle bay 1, the 30 people picked their belonging and slowly walked out and and lined up. She was on the second row, next to some other people she had seen at the academy. She saw Commander Halttas, She knew, he would be her Boss. Keeping silent, she listened to the Xo word, and simply smiled. She had heard that the Xo always greeted his crew that way, Life was beginning. <br><br>After the dismiss, She went and putted her things, saluting Lt. Cmdr D'yebhoth as she had met at a conference during Academy time, The old men still was gruffy, almost snapped at her. Suva, knew when she had to back off, and went with the flow of people. <br><br>Having no problem orienting herself&nbsp; in the ship, she even helped out other people who seemed lost. In the turbo lift, the first time she said Bridge, Lt Vash'y did have a little twinge of pride. When the turbo lift ended its run, and the door opened, Suva made one step to get out, and looked around, it was exactly how she had imagined it, The Co was reading data pads, technician was working on helm's station. She looked a few second to Ops station were she would start her career. An immense sense of pride grew in her. <br><br>she went down the slope, Seeing the Xo and Co sitting at their station, She arrived at them smiling. - Captain, Suva Vash'yr requesting permission to report for duty. Looking at her Captain and at Cmdr Haltass, she waited, This moment was going to be significant for her future. She wondered if all officer had that sense of pride when reporting on a new assignment.

				One of the new arrivals walked onto the bridge moments behind hind him, and made her way to stand before the skipper, and reported in. The young female lieutenant junior grade was smiling so wide he wondered if her head might explode from the strain. Happy young people tended to irritate him. He enjoyed no such blissful moments at a young age. Even graduating from the academy and getting his first post aboard the USS Lakota they were at war with the dominion, and there were precious few times to smile. Still fighting a war while in Star Fleet had been better than his childhood. <br><br>He looked the young woman up and down - he’d already memorized her records. Some wizkid at the academy, and one of her teachers that was sooo impressed with her was also a friend of the Skipper. Personally, he thought it was a terrible idea to dump a fresh graduate with two scientific degrees in the role of operations manager - but the Captain had a different way of doing things. He was proof enough of that. Who else would have picked grumbling Orion as her First officer? <br><br>Once the captain was done welcoming her on board, Commander Halttas stood up and nodded toward conference room door. “With me Lieutenant,” he stated simply and walked to and through the door aft of the bridge. He took a seat and waited for her to do the same. He did not launch into any soothing welcome or small talk in general. “As I mentioned, our goal is to be out of here at 0600 - or at least waking up the yard to tell them we’re ready. That gives us roughly 20 standard hours to bring this ship from a post shakedown mess to an operational starship, ready to start exploring. As Chief of Operations, you will be coordinating the various mission requirements. What science teams get what sensor platforms at what time. How much power can be diverted for any project you will coordinate with engineering. All away teams will be coordinated through you, and you will ensure they have a proper team and equipment.” He had not once looked down at the PADD he brought with him - he knew her job quite well - he had once been an the skipper’s Chief of Operations back on the USS Yeager. <br><br>“This is a lot to give you, if you have any issues, you will come to me. You will remain on the Alpha shift, though I highly recommend you get in early to look over requirements and requests that were sent to you from other shifts. Make your plans and have it in a report to me by 0830 each morning, so I have time to look it over before we hit the 0900 staff meetings that I happen to know the skipper is fond of. Basically you are the scheduler of the ship ship’s vast resources and capabilities. The various science teams are going to fight over each and every second of time for those resources. I assume your science background is why the Captain has chosen you for this role. We at least have that in common - we’re both among her little experiments.”<br>

				Following Commander Halttas invited her to follow him in the conference room, wondering if he would be all gruffy like the show he did when she got out of the shuttlecraft. The man was tall and muscular. She never had a chance to interact with Orion's so she could feel something annoyed him. but she could not tell, she felt his state of mind. Suva did not do nothing about it, not wanting to upset him. <br><br>Sitting in her chair, she had memorized were everyone sat during staff meeting, the chair was wide, a little hard to her likes, but she would get use to it, perhaps after sitting for some times, it would get more comfortable. Halttas started to talk about being ready by 0600, and Suva knew and felt it was something that he wanted. Suva nodded. She knew what would be her job as Op's,&nbsp; and she waited him to finish talking as she was ready, she had anticipate this meeting and had planned this, she took her data pad out, still smiling. <br><br>- Sir, After reading the whole inspection report, I have tough about a few things that could be optimized, give more power and more search time with both lateral and front sensor, this would not take much time, of course we would do the modification after we have left, it would only require a little man power but the benefit would be considerable. <br><br>She took a deep breath, her confidence building, for team roster, figuring from what I was given, I have build a roster that would benefit the whole ship. <br><br>As for my science background, I think I will have to work it a little on some side like botanic or engineering, but I think I am lucky enough to be a good learner. Lt Vash'yr did have to check on her pad, she did not want to forget nothing. She wanted to make a good impression, she wanted to have his approval. At one point, Suva, was tempted to ask him about what was annoying him about her...but she did not dare...She wanted to make her proof..to show she would make a good officer at Ops. <br><br>Si I will be on deck by 8:00 am tomorrow, possibly even earlier as I don't think Ill be able to sleep any way (in a joking style) and as for the first few days of traveling i suggest that we put more energy on drills so people learn their roles and learns were equipment is, and to know each other. as 55% of the personnel comes form different ship, station, planets, and other 40% are fresh out of the Academy which leaves us only 5% of staff that knows each other and has actually work together. <br><br>I don't know what do you think sir, and I do think you must have more urgent matter to attend, so unless you have other points for me, sir I will ask to be dismissed to do my on board arrival procedure, I have a few people to meet, and I do have a "plans" to do by 8:30 tomorrow.<br><br>She tough this went well and waited for Halttas to add something or dismiss her.
