Kalli took advantage of the moment and while everyone was talking and making introductions, she picked up her PADD and checked the current crew manifest. A hint of a grin found its way onto her face as she then put it down. As T'Kol politely pulled Jez aside, Kalli then turned her attention to Niels.
Kalli appeared only a little embarrassed as she said to him, "So...you're actually my new boss. This is NOT how I imagined introducing myself to you, but I guess that's what I get for not doing my homework in advance. I guess that I also didn't anticipate that we would be of the same rank. Don't worry, I don't have any authority issues or anything. I also have no trouble following the rules and coloring inside the lines. If anything I am tighter on scheduled maintenance than what Star Fleet tends to think is necessary. I don't like taking chances when we don't need to. However, as our conversation may have indicated, I excel at the unconventional. That's why Damage Control is one of my specialties. Emergency situations where you often don't have the right equipment or the time to do things the way you would like to, that's where I tend to shine. I can think and work INSIDE the box, but I live and breathe OUTSIDE the box, if you get my meaning. With any luck, it will never matter. However, if we find ourselves needing to find a way to do the impossible, that's when you're likely to want to know that I'm on the job. I wish to take nothing away from the many good people we have working with us. They are amazing people and we need every one of them doing the awesome jobs they do. We've got a Warp Specialist that goes by the nickname Kitkat, a Caitian, who is amazing and she's only enlisted, but her and I have done some of the impossible in the past. You'll want to meet her."
Kalli gave a sigh and a shrug, "Anyway, here we are."
== Tag Niels, though all would have been able to hear ==
