Ameen watched from his command chair as Commander Keir handled the initial greeting for the new midshipman. Hir explanation of being Hermat was smooth and direct, a necessary piece of information delivered with professional grace.
Good. S/he's handling this well. Exactly what a First Officer should do...
When Keir turned the moment over to him, Ameen gave hir a slight nod of acknowledgment.
"Thank you, Commander."
He then focused his attention on the young man standing at attention in the center of the bridge. He looked nervous, but also determined. Ameen could respect that.
"Midshipman Michael Johnson," Ameen began, his voice calm and welcoming but still carrying the weight of command. "Welcome to the USS Zephyr. It's good to have you aboard."
He gestured towards the PADD that Keir was holding.
"Commander Keir will process your official orders. As you've probably gathered, you're joining us at a... dynamic time. We are on a high-priority diplomatic escort mission with some unique variables. We're all new to this ship, and we're learning her and each other as we go. Flexibility and a willingness to adapt are key."
Ameen's gaze flicked over to the security station, where Lieutenant Gath was observing.
"Your department head is Lieutenant Gath. He runs a tight department, and I expect you to listen, learn, and give him your absolute best. Security is paramount on this mission."
He then gestured towards the Klingon officer. "Lieutenant Gath, if you would." Then looked back to the midshipman. "Midshipman, Lieutenant Gath will see to your station assignment and brief you on the specifics of your duties. Welcome aboard."
Okay. Another piece in place, Ameen thought as he settled back into his chair, trusting Gath and Keir to handle the rest of the midshipman's integration. Now, back to the larger problem of our... guest... and when Sickbay is going to give me a report...
