"Greetings, Lieutenant Powl, I am Midshipman Michael Brennan at your service. I look forward to working with you more closely and learning the final points of tactical from you."
Eager? Yes, but Academy instruction indicates adequate performance. "At ease and welcome aboard."
His bio was somewhat a mix of different directions. Clearly Brennan was assigned to the tactical department, however his biography clearly indicated divided interests in several complimentary areas to Security as well. Most Midshipman would begin at the helm of the star ship, but the Zephyr was certainly a different craft completely.
"I am unfamiliar with these "final points" that you are expecting, however there is a great deal to learn from experience aboard a Star Fleet vessel. In your particular case, what specific areas of study do you wish to pursue? Be assured, any information that I feel may be useful to you will be provided. I will be handling Operations per standard code as CTO. However, your bio indicated more studies in martial development. Curious that you chose tactical and not security?"
Powl had the naturally emotionally void expression of a Vulcan as he identified an opportunity. The department was fortunate to have an additional officer, and currently Lieutenant Tom Krandall has been handling the helm. While he is an excellent pilot and helmsman, it would be prudent to put his skills to use in a more complex role.
"For now, Midshipman Brennan, I will assign you to weapons control. The greater plan at play is this: LEARN the Zephyr. She is different than any other vessel currently operating as she is a floating tribute to previous Star Fleet technology. My expectation is this, our department was trained on using technology from the current era and while quite the vessel, she is using some very old setups. Therefore, you will need to learn this ship. A typical assignment for a fresh Midshipman would be to operate the helm.
Regardless, the Zephyr is anything but typical. You will focus your attentions to mastering the weapons array, and 2 hours of your day will be training with Lieutenant Krandall on the flight characteristics of this vessel. Rest assured, she is an adequate vessel for her assignment. The new challenges presented by operating an otherwise formerly notated obsolete vessel necessitates a special learning curve."
Powl shifted himself to allow a gesture towards the helm. "Given your previous training and experience, I expect you to be proficient in the piloting of this vessel within one week. You will be assigned as helmsman moving forward after that time."
Torok turned to face Brennan directly again and dropped his motioning hand to his side.
"Welcome aboard, and do you have any questions?"
