<USS Avalon> Zarak "Reporting" <tag Ketchum>

 
Reporting 
Zarak changed into a fresh uniform, brushed his white hair and cleaned  his 
Antenae. He wanted to make a good impression on his new Co, Admiral Ketchum.  
He had a PADD with a copy of his service record. It was customary since the old 
 days on Earth form the reporting officer to have a copy of his record for 
the  new Cos review even though his file would have  been transferred 
electronically once his transfer was approved. 
Walking the halls of his new home, Zarak liked the look of this new ship.  It 
was a far cry better than some vessels he had been on and a good posting.  
"Bridge." The lift doors closed and in moments he was looking at what would be  
his new duty station. A security officer stopped him as he was not recognized 
as  a member of the crew. "I am Senior Lieutenant Zarak, the new tactical 
Chief  rep[orting to Admiral Ketchum." 
"A moment sir." The security officer checked at a nearby station and  found 
Zarak's file and picture. "Very well sir, you may go in." 
"Come." 
Zarak crossed to the front of the Admiral's desk and stood at rigid  
attention. "Sir, I am Senior Lieutenant Zarak reporting for duty."

"Thank you sir, I am happy to be assigned here." 
<tag Ketchum> 
"One thing sir, I have requested parts from Engineering to construct a  water 
shower in my quarters. Thanks to our antennae, Andorians have rather  
sensitive hearing and I can actually hear the sound of a Sonic Shower which I  
find 
quite uncomfortable. It uses only three gallons of water which is filtered  and 
recirculated. I'm sorry if it is an inconvenience sir. 
<tag Ketchum> 
"As to that sir, I'd like to get with each member of the tactical team to  
make sure that they are up to your demanding standards. Any additional training 
 
that is required, I will provide when the said officer is off duty and I will 
 inform the XO when the training has been completed." 
<tag Ketchum> 
"Also sir, I would like to run a level one diagnostic on my station  
immediately. I will reassign Science Two to tactical until all diagnostics are  
complete. Have you any further questions for me sir?"
