Damion came in from the back as this new Assistant Ruka was sitting at the controls, flying the shuttle to meet up with the Calypso at Mkchnar VII. He carried two drinks, one of him and one for Ruka. As he places hers down next to her he said "So tell me something about yourself, Ensign Maron? What makes you such a good field officer as Captain Russell told me?" He leaned back as he took his seat and took a sip of his black coffee

"He owed me one..." Ruka said then laughed. "No I'm just so good at my job." She stated matter-a-factly and looked at the drink. "Thank you."

"Russell has to have a lot of trust in your abilities to send you my way, Ensign." He said softly as he took a sip of his coffee again. "You got any family?" Damion asked as he cleared his throat a little bit and then looked over to the controls to see how far they were.

Ruka nodded. "Your damn right he has trust and confidence in my abilities," she smiled at Damion with very white teeth showing. The woman then looked back to the shuttle window, "They're at home, none of them wanted me to join Starfleet much less Intelligence." She said somewhat withdrawn and saddened.

"I was raised in the idea that Starfleet was the place to be." He laughed as he took another sip. "My father was the Chief Of Security and my mother was an Engineer on the Enterprise. They both brought me up with the idea that serving in Starfleet would make them proud, so a few things lead to another, and it lead me into the hands of Starfleet. My training got me into a "special" branch of Intelligence and the rest is...Well...Classified." He laughed as he took another sip and smiled. "What kind of training do you have?"

The word 'special' grabbed Ruka's attention for she just had to say what was on her mind. "Special huh? Yeah they are pretty 'special'." She replied with rabbit's ears hand gesture when she mentioned the second special. "Oh everything, though I focused on field operations mainly: infiltration, espionage and sabotage." She told him.

"Good choices." He smiled as he looked over to the control console. "Stick with me, Kid and I might teach you things they didn't both teaching you in the Academy." Damion said softly as he turned back to with a slight smile and a wink. He looked back to the window and leaned back in his chair again. "There she is. The USS Calypso. Registration ident: NCC-71350." He looked over to Ruka. "Thats gonna be our new home for a while."

"A while? Why you planning on going somewhere later on?" Ruka asked, "My she is beautiful. I think the Galaxy-class is a cool design, though Sovereign-class is right up there in my list." She added as she brought the shuttle to pass the around the front and then over the nacelle before turning around to come into the main shuttle bay head on.

=^= Calypso this is Shuttle Ierreth requesting permission to dock? =^= Ruka announced.

"Thats the thing with working Intelligence, Ruka. You never know where your gonna end up or how long your gonna be there." He laughed slightly. "Besides, the nature of Starfleet is to "explore new worlds" isn't it? Can't explore anything by standing in one place now can you?" Damion looked over to her with a smirk.

"You raise some good points sir," Ruka replied. "Most of them I knew, they just didn't come to mind immediately." She added like she was covering some mistake.

"Permission granted," came a female voice from the Calypso.

=^= Thank you Calypso, Ierreth out. =^= Ruka called as she piloted the shuttle into the shuttlebay and landed it where there was space. She gestured to the exit. "After you sir." Ruka said.

Ensign Generic Noone greeted them just after they walked off the shuttle. "Welcome aboard. Sign in and I'll give you your cabin assignments. The Captain is in her Ready Room on the bridge."

Ruka looked around. "Where do we sign in?"

The Ensign turned a clipboard on the desk to face the Trill. "Right here, ma'am."

"Oh," Ruka grabbed the pen and signed her name, then handed it to Damion. "Your turn," she said.

Damion handed the clipboard back to Ruka and walked off. "Take care of the small details, Ensign Maron. I'll go establish meet the Captain." He stopped and looked over to the Ensign and smiled. "I'll expect you at our office awaiting my instructions. Try to remember, the bigger desk is mine." He laughed lightly as he turned back around and put his hands behind his back and walked out to meet up with the Captain in her Ready Room.

"Establish??" Ruka said to herself as she and the ensign went back into the shuttle to grab the luggage. They placed it all on the cargo transporter nearby and distributed respectively to Ruka's quarters, Damion's quarters and to the Intelligence office.

"Well you're all set ma'am, here are your quarters and his." Ensign Noone offered a PaDD to Ruka who accepted it.

The Trill nodded. "Thank you," she headed out of the shuttlebay and into her new life.
