Niels maintained a professional, upright posture, as he listened to the conversation around him. Aanil described her previous assignments, which led to Kalli sharing the same. He was the least experienced of them when it came to changing ships, having only served aboard the Charon. It reminded him of his experiences in the restaurant industry. Some new chefs bounced between kitchens, others stuck with a single mentor. Regardless of how they came up through the ranks, the only thing that mattered at the end of the day was how well they cooked.
The conversation moved on to the merging of the two crews. Niels knew that Star Fleet had transferred a large portion of both the Charon and Geronimo crews. He expected the transition to go smoothly. However, he also knew that it might take some time for the two crews to get used to working with each other. So far, Kalli was the only one he had met from the Geronimo. She seemed to have a strong work ethic. Yet, she also appeared okay with pushing the limits of acceptable behavior. Given their interactions, he figured her to be something of an outlier though.
Lost in thought, Niels returned to the present when a young security officer joined the table. Kalli called the dark-haired woman "Jez" in a casual manner that suggested some familiarity. This led him to deduce that she was also from the Geronimo. With the casual tone already set, Niels took the rare initiative to introduce himself.
"Jez, was it?" Niels said with a warm smile, "I don't believe we've met. I am Niels Hoekstra."
"And this," he added, nodding his head toward the readheaded woman sitting beside him, "is Aanil O'Shea."
