Samira nodded in appreciation at Lieutenant Young's words. "That's good to know," Samira replied. "I'm still feeling my way through, and I appreciate your help. I'll have to pass Commander Velal my thanks, sending you to help with my transition," she finished with a smile.
It certainly didn't take long for Lieutenant Young to make check-ins. She was surprised that there weren't more science officers; big ship like this, she had been expecting thrice the amount in her department than than the Yorktown's own science department. Hearing Young say it's the second mission, Samira replied, "Well, I didn't have much involvement in my first mission. I was still in my lab. And Holy Allah, it's certainly enough of an Aladdin's Cave for me not to emerge for a while. So if anything, it's me who needs the growing pains more," she added with a sheepish shrug.
As much as she expected the inventory of probes, Commander ch'Alev certainly surprised her by informing her that she had command of the Bridge. THE Bridge. Samira could only stare in the Andorian's direction in astonishment, before he left...to the observation lounge. It occurred to Samira that the senior staff was having a meeting and she was the highest-ranking officer at present. So she took the Captain's Chair, walking in an astonished sleepwalk, and set herself in. Barely aboard the ship for a month or two, and she had the Captain's Chair of the Aquila. She reflected there were one or two times on the Yorktown that she assumed temporary command of the bridge when senior officers were away on briefs and whatnot, but the Aquila bridge had to be twice as wide as the Yorktown's.
One thing she was glad about was that there was only a sparse amount of officer taking their station so far.
She turned and saw that Commander Talion enter and pass by, and give an understanding grin, and his words were enough to shake her from her astonishment. "Oh, you'll have them, Commander, I can assure of that," she said, returning his smile with one of her own, feeling encouraged.
"Lieutenant Young, I guess you have the Science Station again," she said, shaking herself from her astonishment. "I'll need you to report on if the diagnostics on the sensors are finished, and verify the power on the sensor palettes. Ensign Coppola," she said, distinctly having seen the midshipman getting a promotion before his DH headed off, "I'll need that inventory on the probes."
She then looked around, expecting more officers to enter the bridge and assume stations. She had seen some senior officers in passing heading to the observation lounge, but no lower officers to man stations, temporary or otherwise. Still, she reflected that on a bridge this big, there's more than one science station, so chances were, she could still be on the bridge when departure time came.
"Apologies if I was astonished," she said to Young and Coppola. "Being put in command of a bridge with a ship this size, it's like having to assume leadership of two or three Bedouin tribes."
==Tag Young and Coppola and anybody on the bridge taking stations. Soft passing tag to senior officers heading for the observation lounge==
