Ameen had watched the young officer pause by the dedication plaque near the turbolift. He appreciated that. A moment of respect for the vessel and her history often signaled a thoughtful mind—a good quality in a scientist.
Sebastian couldn’t believe it, he was standing face-to-face with a Star Fleet legend, Captain Morad Ameen, and his heart was racing with excitement. The thought of learning under such an officer was what Cadets only dream of.
Sebastian was beyond nervous, his mind racing with everything he had learned at the Academy, as he didn’t want to make a mistake.
"At ease, Midshipman," Ameen said softly, offering a small, welcoming smile to break the tension. "We are happy to have you. A science officer who appreciates the history of his vessel is always a welcome addition."
Sebastian smiled a little bit, not at the Captain telling him to be at ease, but rumor had it that Captain Ameen was rumored to be over six feet five.
Aren’t all legends larger than life?
Sebastian noticed a green figure moving in the background,
"And it appears," Ameen continued, handing the PADD back to Cortez, "that your Department Head is eager to get you started. Lieutenant Ra'an runs one of the finest science departments in the fleet. If you can keep up with her intellect and her energy, you will do very well here."
He gave Cortez a final, firm nod. "Go join her, Midshipman. Welcome to the Zephyr."
Sebastian smiled, “Thank you, Captain, I have no doubt that I will learn a great del for both you and Lieutenant Ra’an.” Said Sebastian, his tone respectful and excited.
Sebastian was a bit surprised when Amila Ra’an, the Zephyr's Chief Science Officer, spun around, her ponytail swinging slightly behind her. It reminded him of his kid sister Sofia
"Hello, Midshipman, that was quick," Said Ra’an with a smile as she walked down the ramp and into the well of the Bridge, with spring in her step. Sebastian smiled as he felt welcomed. There was a vibe he could feel; it wasn’t just that something was going on, it was like the crew was more than just a crew, it was like they were a big family, and Cortez liked that, as he was from a big family.
"I'm really excited to have you aboard. If you're comfortable jumping right into things, I can let you in on what's going on this evening and how our department is involved," Offered Lt. Ra’an.
Sebastian was more than ready, after four years at the Academy learning the theoretical, he was ready for the practical side of things. “Yes, Lieutenant, I’m ready said Sebastian, taking position at the auxiliary Science Station.
