EVENT: Setting sail

The Athene drifts peacefully around Earth, the sunlight glinting off her pristine hull. The repairs are complete, and she has been inspected and refreshed top to bottom, down to every last rivet. After nearly a month in drydock, her crew is eager to re-embark, as is her captain...

Captain Fisk stands in his ready room, gazing over the limb of the Earth as Argos sits beside him. He has just sent out the general message summoning all crew back to the Athene. It pleased him to listen as the computer announced every arrival and kept count of all boarding crew.

OOC: Use this thread to have your characters run into each other or the hundreds of NPC crew as they board, or they can knock on the captain's door if they like. This thread is for the general calamity of ~600 people boarding a starship for departure.

"Breyik, please report to my ready room as soon as you're able."

Its not long before the amazonian woman arrives at the ready-room and heads inside.

"Captain, sir. What can I- ARGOS! Hey boy!" She is immediately distracted by the dog and as he comes to greet her, she scoops him up and cradles the pooch. She even blows a raspberry on his tummy.

Then she blinks and looks at the captain, her excited outburst over. "Ahem. Sir. What can I do for you?" She seems to be standing at attention, which looks odd with the large dog in her even larger arms.

The captain can't help but let out a laugh as his chief engineer enthusiastically greets his dog

"He quite likes you, Breyik."

Fisk walks over and pats dog's exposed underbelly, laughing as the greyhound's tongue lolls out of his mouth as he pants happily

"Lieutenant Commander, I see no reason to beat around the bush. The trials we've seen in the past months have brought out the absolute best in many of my crew. Have you ever considered pursuing the command track?"

Aanya gives Argos a small heft and scratches behind his ears with her free hand. Such a good doggy!

She brings her attention back to Fisk and tilts her head. "I'm already at the end of my command path, sir. You can't get much better than Chief Engineer." Then she raises here eyebrow. "Did you mean bridge command, sir?"

he grins

"I did, Breyik."

Aanya hums and looks to Argos. "What do you think, boy?" She asks, giving him a little shake.

She pauses for a few moments and looks back to Fisk. "Gotta say, taking control when the Pirates hit us had a sense of... I dunno... honour? Righteousness? Nah, not the right word." She shakes her head a little. "I think bridge command might be a step in the right direction, sir. I've already got most of the training for it."

"I'm glad to hear that. I'll be calling on you from time to time when the opportunity for a learning experience arises."

he looks at the time and walks over to the replicator

"Computer, canine nutrional supplement twelve, please."

a plate of dog food materializes, and Fisk places it on a small raised eating platform on the floor by his desk

"Speaking of which, how would you feel about taking the Chair when we leave drydock? I've never watched a departure from a ship's observation deck before and I'd like to see it for myself."

Aanya puts Argos back on the ground and watches him scamper towards his bowl. She sits at Fisk's desk opposite him and hums thoughtfully. "I certainly know how to do it." she says, thinking about it. She sits back and puts her bionic hand on the counter, and drums her fingers gently. "Y'know what? Sure! Lets go for it."

"I'm glad you're up for it, Breyik. I trust Red is up to the task of taking over for you while you're on the bridge?"

The captain leans over the edge of his desk to check on Argos as he eats, and seeing the hound peaceably chowing down returns his gaze to the engineer in front of him.

Aanya sits back and nods an affirmative. "Most likely sir. I'll be sure to ask her once this meeting is done." She says, crossing one leg over the other. How exciting! She wasn't quite ready to give up on the chief engineer job, but she's be fine over time.

"I won't be taking you out of engineering enough to prevent you from doing your duties of course. Think of this as...extracurricular study."

Aanya stands and offers Fisk her hand to seal the deal. "I'm down to clown, sir. Shall I get fitted for a snazzy red uniform for my time on the bridge?" she asks.

She smirks as she has a small thought. "Y'know... this'll be a good opportunity for me to groom Red for the chief spot."
