Timeline: Current

[USS Calypso - Operations HQ]

Allison stepped out of her quarters with a bit of a caution in her steps. She headed down the corridor but felt like she was looking over her shoulder the whole time. She had an embarrassing episode the night previously. She hoped that she wouldn't run into the man that walked in on her in the holodeck. James Munro... Allison repeated the mans name in her head as she entered the turbolift. She wondered what department he worked in. She wanted to avoid him at all cost.

She cursed herself as she should have looked up that information before leaving for duty. She would do it when she got to the department HQ. It was weird, it would be like she was stalking him but she didn't want to have to face him. Not at least this early. Maybe a week or two down the road.

Allison stepped off the lift and headed down the corridor. She hoped that maybe Sam would be in the department today. The two of them had known each other for a few weeks now and were becoming friends. She had to tell someone about it. The doors opened and Allison noticed Sam at a console in the room. She didn't see anyone else. "Oh Sam, you won't believe what happened to me yesterday."

Sam turned around from the console and looked over in direction of Allison. "Oh hey." Allison was about to tell Sam all about how a man had walked in on her in the holo-suite and her top flew off and he got to see everything when Sam cut her off. "I have someone for you to meet."

Allison quickly shut her mouth as she didn't see anyone else, but the man was sitting in the office waiting for the Chief to show up. "Who is it?"

James had recognized the voice as soon as Allison spoke up to Sam and he had been sitting there holding his laughing remember what just had happened yesterday. He slowly got up from his chair and stepped out to where Allison can see him. He waved to her.

Allison stood there without any type of expression on her face. This was embarrassing. She just wanted to find a very deep hole at the moment and crawl into it to be never seen again. Her face was completely red at this point.

"This is Chief Petty Officer James Munro, the new Transporter Specialist." Sam said as she looked over at Allison. "And this is Ensign Allison Owen."

"It's a pleasure Miss Owen." James said with a light grin on his face looking at Allison. "You ran off yesterday before I got your name."

Allison took a moment or two to say anything. She now knew what department the man was going to work in and this was the last thing she wanted or needed. She cursed herself that she should have looked up the information on him last night that way she would have had time to prepare for it. "Uh.....sorry about that..."

Sam had leaned back in her chair and looked from Allison to James and than back to Allison. It was obvious that something had happened here. She wondered if the two of them knew each other from before. "So you two know each other...?"

"It's alright, under the circumstances I can't blame you." James broke his eye contact with Allison and looked to Sam. "Not really know each other, simply just bumped into one another."

Allison had looked away her cheeks still flushed red. Sam watched James than over to Allison. "I see..." She just nodded. "So you had to tell me something..."

Allison quickly shook her head. "I'll tell you later..."

"Oh come on." Sam pushed a little.

The doors to the operations HQ opened, Allison quickly jumped out of the way as she had been standing by the door. Tovan stepped in and noticed the three crew members. He raised his eye brow ever so slightly wondering to why they were just standing around and not getting any work done. "Don't you have something to do...?"

"Sorry, sir." Both Sam and Allison said at once. Sam quickly turned around in her chair and went back to her work as Allison made her way to the schedule for the day to see what had to be done. James stood there with a grin on his face. "Save by the Chief..."

"Chief Petty Officer James Munro, reporting for duty sir." James announced as Tovan got closer to him.

"Follow me, Mr. Munro." Tovan said as he motioned for him to follow him into his office.

James nodded and before heading inside he turned his head to Allison and smiled at her with a light nod of his head. He was going to enjoy serving aboard this vessel.

I must have died and gone to hell... Allison thought as she let out a sigh.
