[USS Calypso - XO's Office]

Karma stepped into his office and sat down at the desk. He was in a good mood until he saw the pile of PADDs stacked up waiting for him. He sat down and looked at them for a moment then leaned back and sighed. A moment later his face brightened as he sat up, remembering he hadn't talked to Ops yet, giving him an excuse to avoid the PADDs a while longer. He reached up and tapped his combadge. "Sinclair to Lieutenant Tovan. Please report to my office."

"On my way sir...." Delon responded with a curious tone in his voice. He had heard that a new executive officer had taken over the position but what did he want with him. The logical answer was that he wanted to meet with him, but humans were anything but logical. He made his way down the corridors and took a turbolift to reach the XO's office. Upon his arrival he chimed the door and awaited permission to enter.

"Come in," Karma said as he leaned back in his chair and looked at the door.

Delon stepped into the office once the doors hissed past him. He walked in closer to the desk at which the new executive officer was sitting at. "Lieutenant Delon Tovan, reporting as ordered sir."

"Have a seat, Lieutenant," Karma said to him. "Would you like something to drink?"

"No, thank you sir." Delon responded to the query concerning a drink as he moved into a near by chair.

Karma nodded and sat back in his chair. "I wanted to take the time to talk with each of the department heads and get to know everyone a little better," he said to the other man. "How are things going in Ops?"

Commander had just confirmed his suspicious concerning why he was asked to his office. It made sense for the Commander to get to know each department head as they would all be working close together. It was as a Vulcan would say, highly logical. "I would say that things in the operations are running rather smoothly. I've had a chance to talk to each senior member of the department. They understand what is expected of them."

"That's good to hear," Karma said with a nod. "Are there any problems in your department that I need to know about?"

"None that I am aware of Commander. It has been a smooth going up to this point. The crew seems to be responding rather well. I have placed Lieutenant Faye as second in command of the department. She is an experienced officer that has shown leadership skills." Delon responded.

Karma nodded again. "Is there anything you need? I'd like to have all the departments ready when we get orders to leave."

"My reports indicate that we have all the supplies that we need before we leave, however I am having them run a check once more before we depart." Delon responded. "I'd rather be safe than sorry."

"Let me know if you need anything," Karma said to him. "Is there anything you want to discuss?"

"Nothing at the moment sir, still trying to play catch up for most part." Delon responded.

"In that case, I'll let you get back to your duties," Karma said, leaning forward in his chair. "My door is always open."

"I will keep that in mind sir." Tovan raised up from the chair. "Thank you." He nodded to the commander than turned around heading out of the office.

Karma watched the man leave then turned back to his display, trying to determine who he still needed to speak to.
