Ensign Simms had tracked down the location of his New executive Officer Lieutenant John Sheridan. The XO wasn't an easy man to miss due to his size. And caught him leaving the Gym...

"Excuse me Sir, Are you Lieutenant Sheridan?"

John looked down at the Ensign and knew this would be another of his new crewmen. "Yes I am, and you are?"

"Ensign Tony Simms Sir, I'll be the Orions Cartographer. I'm sorry to bother you like this but hadn't met anyone from the ship yet and thought I would try and check in with a few people"

Sheridan smiled, "Well, do you drink coffee?"

"Yes Sir."

"Come on, lets get a cup." Sheridan and Simms entered the Officers lounge a few minutes later ordered and had a seat.

"Tell me what do you think of your new assignment Tony."

"Sir that's the biggest Ship I've ever seen. I just can't believe I'm going to be on it."

John Laughed. "Yes she good sized, I take it this is your first trip out then, correct?

"Yes Sir and I can't wait to get started. Do you know where we're going.?

"As of yet I don't have a clue. A shakedown run would be first to make sure things are running well before any serious work I would think."

Tony Nodded, I have brought with me a lot of information that I hope will be useful to us. Are you aware of any of the Cartography equipment on board?

"No sure don't, I haven't been on board yet myself but planning to get word soon, let me get a billet you can be reached at and as soon as I find out I'll get word to you." Tony handed Sheridan his Padd and a quick download got the job done.

"Sir I don't want to take up any more of your time. And thanks for the Coffee Sir."

"John stood, any time Tony I'll get with you as soon as I find some things out."
he watched as the Ensign dissipated into the Morning crowd of crew members in the passageway getting to work...
