[USS Charon] SD:240909.27 || Backlog || Esn Nathanial Doyle & Cdt Thomas Clipper

==/\== CSci's Office - USS Charon ==/\== [SD 240909.02]
 
"Now lets look at those logs!" he said to himself as the door closed behind Sutek. He transferred the logs to one of his PADD's and stood up to read it. He always found that sitting in one place for too long caused him to lose focus, so instead he began to pace infront of his desk, reading the Log.
It was another log about the temporal stabilization from the Lyrilla relocation, all checking out ok. he preformed a quick turn, some bastardised version of a figure skaters worst nightmare, and began to pace towards the door, when it opened.
 
It had taken three separate turbo lift trips, several consultations of the ships maps plus some additional wondering which he had now justified as exploration of the ship, but now he had made his way to the science department and before him laid the door to the department heads office.
 
Running his hands quickly through his short red hair, a nervous reaction more than any grooming technique he walked within range of the door to find it offer no resistance and open. Looking into the room he was greeted by a figure walking toward him PADD in hand.
 
Seeing no-one else in the room he assumed he was standing in front of his new superior officer looking at his rank he was at very least a superior.
 
Standing to attention he stated. "Excuse me sir, I'm Cadet Thomas Clipper I'm here to report to the Chief Science Officer."
 
Nathanial looked up from his PADD "Cadet Thomas Clipper?" he stated, but before allowing the Cadet to reply he raised his hand, and turned towards his desk mumbling under his breath "Cadet Thomas Clipper?"
He reached his desk, sat down and accessed his diary and crew manifest.
 
Surprised by the action Thomas choose to remain where he was until the man in front of him completed what he was looking for.
 
Searching through his computer he finally found the name, and looked up to the Cadet. "Ahh yes, Cadet Clipper, transfer from the USS Quantum Fury, please, take a seat" He said, motioning to the seat infront of his desk.
 
"That's correct sir." Thomas nodded to add to the confirmation as made his way towards the chair he was motioned too.
 
Sitting down as requested he leaned back into a comfortable position while admiring his surrounds as well as the officer before him. 
 
Nathanial finished looking over the file on the cadet, bringing his eye's up to look at the cadet. He noticed a spark of... was it adventure? In his eyes.
"What brings you to my department on the Charon cadet?" He asked in a firm tone.
 
 The question was an engaging one for the Cadet. He ceased wondering his eyes around the room and focused on the man in front of him, leaning forward from his more relaxed position he spoke "I want to see and experience new places, discover new things and help make a path for others to tread, I felt Starfleet offered that to me so I enlisted. Now they have sent me here..."
 
He was gesturing to the surrounds of the office and the ship before pausing as he realised he had let slip the light veil of decorum he had tried on to begin with. he still added a "...sir" as he retracted his hands back to his sides.
 
Nathanial held back a chuckle, and was about to ask another question when remembered all the work he still had ahead of him.
"Great, I am sure you will discover alot of new things here." He grabbed a PADD and transferred some data from his terminal. He then handed the PADD to Thomas.
"Here is your duty roster, and map of the ship with your quarters shown. I also notice in your file that you majored in Astrogeology and Thermodynamics, as such I am assigning you to the astrogeology department, Lab 4. Any questions?"
 
"Thank you sir" he took this as the end of the meeting as he received the PADD as he began to stand up, he would study its contents after the meeting, he had disturbed his superior's work long enough.
 
Once out of the chair and standing he did have one query "One final question if I may sir, I haven't been introduced, may I know your name?"
 
Nathanial looked at the man, such a simple question, with a simple answer. He was about to speak but decided instead to point  to the name plaq that was right infront of the cadet, and smiled. "You are dismissed cadet, and welcome to the USS Charon."
 
Tapping the PADD with his free hand Thomas nodded once more to his superior while looking at the plaque and replied "Thank you sir." before Turing and leaving the office.
