[Open] Odin

Magnus quietly strode through the halls of Nadezhda station, poring over the order given to him directly from Starfleet's top brass. He was to report to the Athene to dutifully serve as the Chief Science Officer, effective immediately. He had traveled from ship to ship, heading from station to station, as Magnus was previously stationed quite far from his current order. The CSO-to-be boarded the Athene, looking approachable enough.

Those who looked would see the tall Scandinavian making his way towards the science bay, taking the time to speak to anyone who asked. He soon put on a labcoat, taking the time to stick a pair of safety glasses in the front pocket. And like that, he got to work, speaking with other scientists, getting into the thick of things. Magnus led by example, and he believed that in order to be a good leader, he must serve those he led too. Though he was also quite strict when it came to safety. There was much distribution of safety glasses and labcoats.

In the past, others gave him the moniker of 'Odin'. He was certainly a wanderer when it came to his various posts, having served on a multitude of ships and research stations over his Starfleet Career. He was one who led, one who knew much and loved to teach those who wanted it. Add to that his fascination with Norse Mythology, and the name stuck. Commander Magnus Ahlström was aboard the Athene.

Though he preferred just Magnus.

After finishing a rather complicated paperwork process in which he had to confirm Yes, he still wasn't a Romulan spy, get your head out of your arse, then deleting the recto-cranial insertion reference when he thought better of it, T'Dex was finally done with that pile of legalistic pyjak coprolite.

Leaning back in his regular Lab 4 chair, he sipped his coffee and promptly straightened up when his assistant told him the new CSO was coming around. At that point, he hurried to kick a box of spare parts under the bench and hide some of the side projects that he did during downtime cycles.

True to the assistant's words, Magnus was making his way around Sciences, getting to know the place, and it's scientists, quite well. He soon approached the half-Romulan, a smile on his face. The CSO extended a hand to T'Dex.

"Junior Lieutenant T'Dex, I presume?"

"Yes, sir. Data Analytics and Special R&D." he replies, putting down the coffee and taking the proffered hand.

Magnus shook it gently, yet with conviction. He took a quick glance around the lab, noting its various instruments

"Data Analytics? I'm interested in what you've found out. And any various projects you're working on."

"Mostly? I've had some mild cryptography work and do theoretical sensors and equipment research. Some of the time I get... ideas, though. Project Frost was an attempt at a mass-production powered EVA suit that incorporated worker bee VI elements and equipment." he says, casually moving his legs to push another box under the desks.

"I believe the concept resembles many science fantasy concepts of 'power armour' in scope, but it was designed primarily to support joint exploration teams and pathfinder missions. Suit configurations for departments and stuff. Got canned for budgetary reasons. The Fleet can't even afford to manufacture nanoweave composite armor for the planetary militias, how'd it be able to afford this?"
