==One week following "Daughter of Frankenstein" Subplot==
It had been a long week, waiting for her command to finally pass from the Shipyard's hands to hers, but the time had finally come; Jenny had come aboard not knowing what to expect - she'd never been aboard a Pathfinder-class before, and given the design of The Previous Yeager, she assumed that the interior of the ship would match that design. Not so, apparently, as the Yeager had been constructed as a test, the Corps of Engineers had not seen fit to outfit her with Pathfinder-class compartments. They had all come from a recently-decommissioned Nova-class, not unlike the Philadelphia, which lent an air of familiarity to the crew spaces.
At least I'll know my way around the rooms when I can actually find them!
Reclining in her chair, scratching Raiju affectionately behind the ear as she read the most recent dockyard report on a PADD with her other, Jenny sighed. Nigh on a month on the bench before being assigned her latest 'punitive command' had made her start to feel like she was growing roots and she had started to get more than a little antsy. Now though, she was less than an hour from departure in Starfleet's newest and most unique vessel. What her orders were going to be, she didn't yet know, but she also wouldn't put it past Starfleet Command to simply get her out of the way for a bit and only communicate with her when they needed something. That's what they'd done with The Previous Yeager, and it had suited her just fine.
Letting me do things my way might be the only way to get the important work done. Not that I expect it'll work out that way.
Jenny had been surprised to learn that she had not one, but two new Midshipmen reporting aboard; a Caitian in Engineering (who was rather oddly named 'Alexander'), and a Human in Security. Jenny wondered if they'd be quite so intransigent as a certain Ensign Shadowhunt, who Jenny had not heard from since departing the Philadelphia, and whose appearance on the Yeager's roster had proven something of a surprise, though likely more for him than her.
He's not going to think anyone did him any favours sending him here, but protected by regulations or not, whistle-blowers rarely get a fair chance afterwards...
Placing the PADD back on her desk, Jenny shifted in her seat so she could sit upright. There was less than an hour to go before departure, and there were several shipyard workers still messing with tertiary backups in the secondary hull, so she needed to be where she could easily be found. That said, making her new Midshipmen hunt her down to report in could be entertaining; but given she still risked getting lost when she wandered the halls, that probably wasn't the best idea for this batch...
Next time...
