==No worries. I know the feeling==
The introduction with the Engineering Commander, who told Miles to refer to him as Jaein, went well enough, with Miles taking the man's outstretched hand in a shake. Miles was usually one to stand on principal, so referring to Commander Omdor as anything else but was probably not going to happen. At least not on duty in front of everyone. Miles understood that some were comfortable doing so, but it was much more difficult for Miles. He had become more relaxed on his stance so that it didn't bother him when others were comfortable, but that was unimportant to the task at hand.
Before either could respond further, another person had entered the Bridge. This time, it was their wayward Captain, Crawford. She gave the Bridge a once-over before proceeding over to where Miles and Omdor stood.
"Gentlemen, how are the launch preparations going?" she asked. Omdor was the first to report, speaking on diagnostics and readiness. He then requested where he might locate a replicator for more coffee. Once receiving his answer, he made to locate the machine, though not before placing a hand briefly on Miles' shoulder, mentioning that Crawford had the Bridge now, to which Miles nodded, a small grin creasing his face.
"Maybe we can meet up at some point for a drink." Once again, Miles returned the smile and nodded, though did not speak openly. The mention of getting drinks wasn't an unpleasant idea, but there was a part of him still tensing due to how the Artemis crew's pension for drinking had been on embarrassing display during the meeting the night prior. Regardless, Miles quickly shifted his attention back to Crawford as Omdor departed.
"Tactical at the ready, Captain," he addressed her. "Also awaiting some diagnostics reports, but my Department is at full readiness." After giving his report, he made to take his place at the Tactical console, but paused and turned back to the Captain.
"It's good to see you onboard," he added before continuing his small trek to Tactical. There was definitely much left unsaid in his statement with everything that had happened and what the crew was made to believe of their Captain's fate.
