<USS Avalon> Trying on New Shoes

Trying on New Shoes

Karg has returned to his quarters where Nerys has just laid out a collection 
of Bajoran dishes for dinner. There is the usual kissing and groping that new 
lovers enjoy. Finally, Karg is able to ask, "Did you hear the PA?"
"Yes, sir, Mister XO sir." Karg smiles and she continues, "Seriously, 
congratulations."

"Thanks, the bad news is I have Bridge duty in a couple of hours and I still 
have, well, you know, lots of XO stuff to do."
"So, I'm not going to see a lot of you in the near future."
"Not necessarily, I could put you at tactical when I have the bridge."

Over dinner, an idea occurs to Karg. "You know, if we eat more quickly, I 
might be able to unwrap my present before its time to go."
Kira quickly drops her spoon, "I'm finished." Walking to Karg she unzips her 
uniform jacket and lets it fall to the floor. Karg is then able to unzip her 
turtleneck to peer inside. "Oooo, I see red!"

Exactly on time, Karg arrives on the bridge for his first shift as XO. Keith 
turns as the Lift doors open, "Ah, Number One, you have the bridge. Steady as 
she goes."
"Aye sir. OPS, prepare for nigh time routine."
The captain's small viewer seems brighter as the light lower for night time 
duty. Karg enters his new command codes, checks schedules and clears the back 
log of paperwork. Then Karg turns to Ryan Hollander, the Security Chief on 
duty, "Mister Hollander until the captain appoints an interim security Chief, 
you 
get to make out all the duty schedules for your department. Pass them be me. 
I'm sure they will be OK."
"Aye sir."
"Helm, maintain course and speed. I’ll be in my office."
