[USS Calypso - Transporter Room]

The past few days had been anything but boring in his life. However, today he promised himself that he would stay focused on the job at hand. He didn't need anymore awkward moments in his life nor did he really want to get in trouble for doing anything that might be considered highly stupid. He was going to behave today; at least he thought he was.

There wouldn't be much chance for him to get in trouble today, the transporter room was constantly filled with officers and enlisted personal that were either heading down to the planet or coming back so there wasn't much room or time for him to allow his charm to work. This was a good thing; he needed to stay focused today. When the travel slowed down James began to day dream that was until a communication from above brought him back to reality. "Miyazaki to Munro..."

That voice he couldn't place it to a face. He must have never met the person before. But the voice came across as very sweet and it was also very sexy. James began to wonder to what this person might look like but he quickly reminded himself. "Stay focused James..."

"I'm sorry; I didn't catch that can you repeat?"

James shook his head with a chuckle. "It's nothing. What can I do for you Ms Miyazaki?" He smiled to himself and placed a mental note that he would have to find out who this person was. No matter how hard he tried to behave it seemed just impossible for him to do. It was never his policy not to mix business and pleasure, but he had to keep in check just how far that pleasure went. At least for the time he was on duty.

"A runabout has come along side us. They have one to be beamed over. They are transmitting their coordinates right now."

James watched as the information displayed on his screen. "I have it. We are ready to beam the person over when they are."

"They are ready. When they arrive let them know that Commander York is waiting for them in the ready room. Miyazaki out..."

"Understood..." James responded. He monitored the instruments as the noise of the transporter working echoed in the room. He didn't bother asking who he was beaming over. It wasn't his business honestly. He simply had the privilege of pressing a few buttons to make them vanish at one end and reappear at the other end. He watched as a figure of a female began to shape in the transporter. He raised an eye brow ever so slightly as the process was complete and she stood in the transporter room.

He was greeted by a true beauty. He had never seen anyone so wonderfully beautiful as her. At least he would claim that. His jaw wanted to drop to the floor as he stared at the jet black hair beauty.

Onyx eyes gazed about the transporter room, not bothering to hide the irritation she was feeling in regards to the brazen looks she was receiving from the man behind the panel. "A picture lasts longer." Dara stated icily as she stepped down from the transporter pad.

"What...?" James said with a rather obvious puzzled look on his face. It had taken him a moment to realize what she had said and then shook his head. "Oh...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to stare. It's just that you are really...." He shook his head. He reminded himself that he needed to stay professional and focused on his job. "Never mind." He offered her a friendly smile. "Welcome aboard the Calypso."

With a single nod she said, "Thank you, chief." her tone softened somewhat for she always had a soft spot for the enlisted ranks since she was raised by a member of the enlisted ranks herself. She allowed the slight change of her tone to sink in a bit to gauge the man's reaction.

James continued to have the same friendly smile on his face as she watched her. He found her attractive. He began to wonder about things that he shouldn't as he watched her. "You're welcome. The Commander is waiting for you in her ready room."

With a nod Dara said, "Thanks again." moving toward the door she stopped a moment and turned back to introduce herself. Holding out her hand she stated gruffly, "I'm Aldara Rallis."

James nodded to her than watched her as she made her way towards the door. He admired her figured but she turned to face him. He quickly looked up at her eyes and smiled. She took her hand in his. "It's a pleasure to meet you Miss Rallis. I'm James Munro."

"A pleasure." she harrumphed as she quickly released his hand, "Best to check in with the CO and get my quarters arranged. Thanks again." was gruffly added as Dara turned toward the door to exit.

James nodded with a smile. "She is expecting you." He turned back to his console. He continued to think about her and the soft touch that she had. "Excuse me...I was wondering if you had some free time later, I might be able to show you around the ship...?"

"You think that is appropriate, Chief?" Aldara inquired with a cocked brow, working hard to maintain a somewhat friendly manner, though the gruffness was beginning to slowly slip into her tone.

James looked at her with a bit of a smile. "Well, I am simply trying to offer a hand in friendship. I know how it can be when you first arrive on a new vessel."

Again she did her best to stomp down the air of suspicion being caused by the attraction she was sensing and hearing from him. "It's appreciated Mr Munro." her tone was hardening, "But I believe I can find my way." turning back toward the door she once again made to exit.

James nodded with a grin on his face. "Alright, but if you need anything." He chuckled lightly and turned back to his console.

Aldara never looked back much to her chagrin she found herself smiling and even enjoying the banter. There would be a more appropriate time for such things for now she had to finish reporting in to her new assignment.
