Lois made a mental note to herself.
In future, don't wave a specific officer over to chat in a room full of Starfleet officers, you may get a few more officers than you have requested.
The reason she made this mental note was plain. She had waved an officer over, who she assumed was one of her medical staff, Dr Julie Troy, whom she hadn't met. And the young woman responded. But as she approached the young, new Midshipman she had been talking to, an Italian, who or whatever that was, began introducing himself and Lois to the young woman.
"Ciao there." As a friendly gesture. "This is Doctor Lois Lim, and I am Cologero Coppola," Mid Coppola said.
Before Lois, or the young woman could respond, another officer of higher rank came over and began to speak to Mid Coppola in his native tongue. She was the new First Office, Commander Beno Velaul, a joined trill with Italian experiences from a previous host. She then introduced herself and the young officer Lois waved over. The commander finished with a complement to Lois or was it a statement about Dr Troy's abilities? Lois didn't know which so she preferred to understand the former and simply said, "Thank you, Commander Velaul"
So you are who I thought you were, Dr Julie Troy. That's cleared that up.
Lois wanted to meet Dr Troy, not because she had any doubts about her abilities, but because she was interested in the animals, assuming they were either pets or possible assistant animals, as Julie Troy was a counsellor, or the animals maybe both. She was just about to begin her conversation with Julie, she had some concern about animals in various parts of Sickbay, particularly the surgical areas. But she was interrupted again as the chief of the boat calling the gathering to order and most of the officers stood to attention, except for a few, er, one, Dr Lim, who stood casually. It wasn't out of disrespect for the two Captain's exchanging ships, she just didn't go much on military formality, which was strange because she except professional formality in her Sickbay.
So, she waited for the final words of these change of command ceremonies, and in a few formal readings of orders, there it was.
"I relieve you, Commander Prihl."
FINALLY, Lois could speak. BUT, as Captain Brooks stepped away at the end of the handover ceremony, he appeared to be heading direct to the group gathered with Lois. She hesitated, then grabbed the opportunity whilst it lasted.
"It's loverly to meet you Dr Troy. I noticed that earlier you had two pets with you, you obviously like animals, have you had them long?"
