Tharek walked down the hall of a station that was unfamiliar to him. A Federation station... He was happy to be in a place of power once more... Or will be soon. Tharek had to check in on Jupiter deck 20, to do the necessary bores. He noticed the Executive Officer on his way.

"Lieutenant Sheridan?" He asked in a confident, bold and arrogant voice.

John turned to see large Cardassian Ensign in a security Uniform... "Yes, how may I help you Ensign."

"I was just wondering where you go to board the Orion." He said, folding his arms and looking down on the Lieutenant.

John Smiled, he looked up at very few crew himself being 6'2, but this one was huge.
"We haven't started to board the ship yet, and still re-fitting for a few days yet, do you have temporary quarters yet?"

"Not that I'm aware of, I just got on board." Tharek said with a scratch to his temple.

"Welcome aboard Ensign, I'll have your quarters assigned to you Immediately." John Nodded to one on the security Officers standing at the check point.

"I know your journey has been long, but I was wondering if I could have a few minutes of your time. You see I've been expecting you."

"Expecting? Me?" Tharek looked surprised. Very rarely did anyone look for him. And if they did, it was for him to do something... Or have someone trying to kill him.

They entered the XO's office, "Make your self comfortable Ensign. "Let me get to the point, I have reviewed your records. I know there's much more history to you that what Fleet knows, but that's not important to me right now. My job is to prevent anything from happening to this vessel before we ship out and I need your help. I hate to be 'Bolted' to this station as it makes us very vulnerable. Far to many civilians about and who knows what else. As your Chief of Security has not made it in yet I would ask you to take over control of the center here and what areas we can get to."

"So, I'd be sanctioning civilians and making checkpoints where only certain staff can enter? Is that the 'jist' of what I've got to do?"

"For our temporary center here on deck twenty I have an entry authority list. All crew Of the Orion are on it along with key Fleet personnel. If there not on that list they do not enter until the Captain or myself are notified. you have a better security awareness than I Ensign. You don't have to run it just oversee it and get the Security Officers to maintain it. As far as the rest of the Station go's I'd like you to ensure all baggage and supplies and equipment loaded on the Orion is being scanned properly for devices, Take a good look around, I feel much better knowing one of ours is keeping an eye on things."

"Understood sir. I'll get onto setting regimes for the Security Staff. Not even a stray particle of oxygen will get on board without my authorization, clarification and screening." Tharek said with a pompous hint in his voice, along with a smug smile.

Thank you Ensign Getal, keep in mind we don't need any major drama with this process. Quick, clean and No dirty, got it?"

"No dirty? What, not even a little Cardassian thrown in?" He played with his voice in tones to make it seem more persuasive.

John laughed, "No tough stuff, I need you with us on the ship so stay out of trouble."

"Aye sir. Will that be all then?" Tharek raised his eyebrow quizzically.

"Yes Ensign Getal, carry on."
