He walked down the short ramp, his steps measured.
"At ease, Midshipman," Ameen said, his voice calm as he approached the pair. He noted the slight hesitation she had shown earlier regarding the command structure—understandable, given the Zephyr's unique rank distribution.
"I am Commander Ameen," he introduced himself, nodding to the insignia on his collar. "Welcome to the Zephyr. I see you have already noticed that she is... distinct from the ships you trained on at the Academy."
He glanced around the bridge, taking in the analog switches and the tactile controls that defined the Steamrunner-Class aesthetic.
"She is a dedicated Destroyer, yes," he said, addressing the observation he often saw in new eyes accustomed to the sprawling layouts of explorers. "She is built for function, not luxury. You will find that means she requires a hands-on crew. Logic and precision are valued highly here."
He turned his gaze toward the tactical station.
"Your Department Head, Lieutenant Gath, values those traits as well. He is the Klingon officer currently running a threat assessment at the tactical station," Ameen gestured. "Report to him. He will see to your station assignment."
