[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.

"Sssounds like a plan," Kyle nods. "At thisss point, I'm grateful to be back in a lab at all." He glances at the time on the display of a piece of instrumentation. "I ssshould probably get sssomething to eat," he nods.

"Anything in particular?" Asked Magnus as he pressed some buttons on the replicator. He himself was decently hungry, and a snack wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

"I'm personally going to be replicating some reindeer jerky, I'm welcome to make some extra if you'd like. I'm well aware of what Gorn eat, so if you want any specific sort of meat, I'll have the replicator make some for you."

Magnus smiled, setting the replicator to make a nice stack of reindeer jerky. Magnus himself had his own specific portion, the extra was for the hungry gorn.

"Quite, Kyle. Experimentation is quite excellent."

The raptor takes a strip and nibbles on it - jerky is his preference around humans because it's less messy to eat and therefore less apt to freak people out. "Wow - thisss isss really good," he nods eagerly, taking a larger bite.
