==Cdr Jolann==
The reception he received on his arrival was exactly what he had expected. The captain spoke while everyone else either busied themselves with their consoles or just more blatantly ignored him. "Welcome aboard, Commander," she said. "Have you already been provided with the mission parameters?"
He was about to answer when another swish of the turbolift doors interrupted him. He saw a diminutive blonde in support colors come out and visibly slump upon seeing him. She must be the captain's spy, he thought, in addition to being the quartermaster. He nodded to her as she took an unobtrusive corner to herself, before turning back to the captain who continued speaking, ordering the helm to obtain clearance to leave.
Jolann took his seat as the helm complied, which didn't take long he noted. The crew appeared to be fairly well trained. Captain Crawford issued a few orders, including one to him. "Commander Jolann, I'd recommend you take the time to read the mission profile while we're enroute."
"Yes, Captain," he answered, frowning as he realized he had neglected to answer her earlier question in a similar vein. "That is top of my agenda, now that I have the luxury of not sprinting for the airlock, followed by familiarizing myself with the crew and any issues that may arise there."
