Lieutenant Sheridan wasn't very pleased The Orion wasn't ready to roll, but the Processing Center was. He was checking out the new Security checkpoint in the lobby and left word there to contact Ensign Nartu, and have the Ensign report to his office as soon as it was convenient.
The Cardassian Tactical Officer had accidentally overslept today and had barely had a chance to get out of bed before Lt. Sheridan's messenger came to his quarters.
Groggily, Nartu got out of bed and welcomed in the messenger.
"What can I do for you, Crewman?"
The Bolian lad was about half the size of Nartu, around 4 and-a-half feet tall. So, naturally, the young enlistee was frightened when he first noticed the hulking 7 feet plus of the Ensign.
"S, s, sir, I have a m-"
Nartu interrupted the Bolian.
"Don't be frightened, buddy. I won't bite…unless I've had too much Kanar."
They both chuckled a little at this, the Crewman possibly more frightened. He finally mustered his courage and spoke up:
"Here, I have a m, message from Lt. Sheridan."
He then gave Binjole the PADD he was carrying and scampered off.
Nartu was a little shocked at the young crewman's reaction.
'Geez, I don;t think I was ever that green. Poor kid. Has so much to learn. Oh well, not like that isn't the first time this has happened.'
10 minutes later, Binjole was fully robed and was waiting outside the Lieutenant's door after ringing the door chimes.
Binjole spoke through the door to the Lieutenant:
"Sir, may I enter?"
"You bet, come on in."
The Ensign stepped through the opening door and just as he entered the room, the door shut.
Binjole addressed his superior.
"Sir, you sent for me."
"Good to meet you, I hope your journey went well."
Nartu looked at the Lieutenant:
"As good as can be expected. However, I never knew how small the new Delta Flyer runabouts are. Tom Paris did a lot of great things, but designing a ship for Cardassians I guess wasn't one of them".
"Very true, I wanted to welcome you to the crew and hit on a few things while we're here on Jupiter Station. We are very vulnerable here so some extra precautions should be taken to prevent any mishaps or acts of sabotage. I've spoken to your assistant security chief about these matters and he has begun to help out in these matters. I'll need you to check out your section and let me know If your areas on the Orion needed to be reconfigured."
Nartu responded:
"Well sir, technically the whole ship is 'my area' because I'm in charge of the safety of not only the ship, but it's entire crew. But either way, I'll get right on it. Just to clarify, the forcefields in the corridors are up and running, because I wouldn't like it if a perp beamed away from us just because of a faulty job by the refit team."
"About time we got to the Ship, wouldn't you say?"
Nartu got up: "Yup. I'll see you there!"
Binjole then left his XO's office.
