Peter had quite honestly been surprised at the developments.
He'd been expected to be assigned to a garbage scow as revenge for Khumalo not being able to kick him out.
Guess that Nyberite appointment will have to wait, he thought to himself with a chuckle as his shuttle docked at the Antares shipyard and he prepared to disembark.
Yes, he could have used the transporter on the ship he'd arrived from Earth with. But sometimes he liked taking in the view of a trip. And this way he also had some time to think.
"Commander Peter Jensen.
You are requested and required to take up the position of First Officer of the USS Yeager NCC-60097, as of the following stardate.
Signed
Admiral Soandso", he read his orders again and put the padd back as he stood up to actually disembark. Once he had, he headed straight for the office. It was going to be a bit of an awkward reunion, to say the least.
He'd gone from being ready to actually shoot Braggins if it came down to it, to trying to arrest her, to boarding a Cardassian controlled vessel on her orders - an action for which he was still proud, not least of his team - to saluting her as the cavalry had shown up to take them in because he'd thought this would be the last time he'd ever see her....to now coming back as her XO.
One wild ride indeed
There was the door. Peter stood outside the door to the office he'd been told to find Braggins in, and chimed the door.
It took a bit before he was allowed to enter, and there he saw her. A lot of emotions came back from the tense sequence of events they'd been through recently.
"So....this is slightly awkward" he said with what he meant to be a disarming smile, then sighed and showed her the PADD with his orders.
"As Captain, you can refuse these,", he pointed out with respect to the orders on the PADD, "and request a replacement XO if you should so desire. I would not take that personally. However, I do think we make a good command team... when we're open and upfront with eachother", he said, unable to resist one last barb vis a vis the incident where they'd wasted a collosal amount of time on what turned out to be a nothingburger because there were actual orders in place.
