"Thank you for giving me permission to take some time to get used to the USS Artemis, she is a mighty and complex Starship, 'a Lady of the Realms of Space.'" Benjamin couldn't help but smile as he listened to the enthusiastic ensign. He tried for a moment to remember when he'd been that young and excited, and found he couldn't quite remember. It hadn't really been that long ago, not in years, but those years had been rough on him. His prosthetic eye twitched on him, as if he could forget the damn piece of Ferengi technology he was stuck with in place of an eye. “I can only do my best, sir, and that I shall attempt do, to the best of my abilities.”
"And that's all I can ask of you, Ensign," he replied. He considered adding some more but his attention drifted as he saw consoles lighting up around him. "Alright, give me a moment," he told her and stepped forward. "Reports?" he called out.
Around the room the technicians called out their go/no go for launch. As expected, everything was coming up green; propulsion, weapons, life support, comms, all were good to go. He smiled, glad that the techs at DS9 were as good as their word - though he'd also been glad that Ori was watching them while he was gone - and stepped up to the situation table closest to his office. He entered his own information, and fired it off to the bridge so they were aware that the ship was good to go.
"Always a fun time," he said to D'Mar, "when we're casting off for a new mission. I hope it's a frontier mission this time." The Artemis was an explorer, and he hoped she would get the chance to live up to that this go around.
