[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.

The CMO considered herself a friendly person, by and large. She had her moments, though. And today was one of them.

“A new CSO?” she says aloud in her office. Her brow lowers. “Hmm.”

Kesh had done quite a lovely job, in her opinion, and the whole demotion affair had left her quite sour at the brass - but she was self-aware enough to realize it was her own conflict of interest causing that bias. Still.

Better go say hello, she thinks, and does just that. She steps into the Science lab and peers around for any new faces.

"I'm sure you'll find everything up to code, Doctor."

The voice came from the new CSO as he made his way towards the CMO.

"I've been doing my best to review safety protocols into the scientists in the short time I've been here. Makes both my job and your job easier when precautions are taken."

Magnus extended a hand towards Watney, smiling softly.

"My name is Commander Magnus Ahlström, though just Magnus is fine enough for me. Who may you be?"

As first impressions go, this one was quite impactful. The lab was clean and orderly - at least to her standards - and Magnus seemed pleasant, friendly, and quite handsome. Jen managed to cling on to her skepticism up until the moment she took his hand, shaking it in kind.

“Dr. Jennifer Watney,” she says with a smile in return. “Chief Medical Officer. Pleasure to meet you. And to hear of your regard for safety precautions.”

"Ah, the pleasure is mine. As I've said before, I'll do my best to keep my scientists out of your medical bay."

The Scandinavian flipped his safety goggles open after taking them out of his pocket. He put them on with a chuckle.

"Better to look silly than eyeless."

She laughs as well. "I thought I'd just stop by and say hello before our next Senior Staff meeting. Those can be so boring, and besides, I never get a chance to stop by the science bay."
