Welcome to Alpha Shift

Aaron sat in his office, a place he hadn't had much time in since he became Chief of Science, what with all the exciting, and most recently dangerous missions. But now, paperwork was catching up with him, and he found himself staring at a roster of Science personnel. He needed to compose a good team, and that involved duty rosters. He hit his commbadge. "Lt. Westler to Ensign Daena."

 

Ensign Nouvelle Daena was in her quarters. The young Mithraan was looking at a recent photo of the entire Ronsol clan, her family. She was so happy that she finally fulfilled her dreams of being in the stars, but a part of her longed for home. Placing the picture down, Daena picked up a paintbrush lying next to it. She turned to the easel, where her new painting was beginning to take shape. About to add a few new strokes to the canvas, her ears perked up as the comm came through. Tail swishing, she placed the paintbrush back down and answered the comm. "This is Daena. Is there something I can do for you Chief?"

 

"Could you come down to the Science Lab, Ensign?"

 

Her ears flattened as she grew nervous. "Right now? I mean, Yes Sir." Daena quickly put away her paints and changed back into her uniform. Once she felt her appearance acceptable, the Mithraan left her quarters and made her way down to the Science Lab after a quick turbolift ride. Stepping into the lab, the young Ensign looked around for the Chief.

 

Aaron looked through the window and motioned for Daena to come into the office. "Have a seat!"

 

Daena slowly nodded as her ears and tail drooped. She was so nervous, never being in the office before let alone actually speak to the Chief. The young Ensign has seen him once in a while, but she has never actually spoken to him longer than a couple words. Entering the office, Daena brushes a few strands of purple hair from her face and carefully takes a seat at the edge of the chair.

 

Aaron smiled at her. "Relax, ensign. Did I interrupt anything when I called you down here?"

 

Thinking about her painting, "N...no Sir. I wasn't doing anything important." Her eyes hit the floor, wondering what her grandmother Rikala would think for calling her painting nothing.

 

Aaron looked at her, then to his console. "I was finally getting around to reading the bios of the Science crew, and I noticed you got high marks at the Academy."

 

Her maroon eyes look up to him. "I did?"

 

He smiled. "Higher than I did, though of course I never planned on becoming a Science officer." He looked at the PADD. "How long have you been on Gamma Shift?"

 

Her ears perked up to the question. "Since I've been on Arcadia, Sir." She scooted, a little closer almost in catlike anticipation for something. "If I may ask, what is this about Sir?'

 

Aaron smiled. "I'm rearranging some duty rosters, and I'd like you to be on Alpha shift, Ensign."

 

Daena's maroon eyes lit up as her tail swished happily. "You do?"

 

"I do. Your work ethic, though during the slowest shift, is outstanding, and we don't have anyone who knows Botany as much as you do."

 

She smiled sweetly. "Thank you Sir."

He nodded. "Your welcome. When can you start?" He winked.

 

The Mithraan was excited, her tail flailed about. "I can start right away."

 

Aaron grinned. "Well, let's at least wait until Alpha shift tomorrow...”

 

"Yes Sir," She said as she slid back into her seat. Daena couldn't believe this was happening.

 

Aaron nodded. "If you don't have anything else....you're free to go."

 

Daena stood up and nodded. "Yes Sir. Thank you Sir." The young Mithraan almost skipped as she exited his office and the Science Lab.

 

Aaron smiled as he watched her leave. If only he could have gone back to being that excited.
