Ameen turned his attention from the tactical console, where Lieutenant Powl was now formally greeting the eager Midshipman Brennan. He was pleased to see his new department head taking the initiative.
At that moment, the turbolift doors opened again, revealing a new, remarkably tall saurian midshipman in an Engineering uniform. Ameen watched as the young officer approached and delivered a crisp, formal introduction, handing his PADD to Commander Keir.
Ameen offered a welcoming smile.
"Midshipman A'kilees, I'm Commander Morad Ameen. On behalf of the entire crew, welcome to the Zephyr." His eyes glanced at the PADD in Keir's hand as s/he accepted it, catching the highlights of the midshipman's academic focus. "Starship design and transporter systems," Ameen noted aloud, a note of genuine approval in his voice. "An impressive record. We're glad to have you, Midshipman."
He then looked to Keir.
"You're right, Commander," he said, his voice carrying a note of quiet satisfaction. "It's good to see our engineering department reinforced with a specialist."
His gaze returned to A'kilees.
"You've arrived at a busy time, as we're preparing for a new mission, but your skills will be put to good use. Commander Keir is not only our First Officer but also our Chief Engineer. S/he will get you formally situated with the team and begin your familiarization with the ship."
Two new officers in one shift, Ameen thought. Both seem promising. We're going to need them.
