[USS Calypso - Captain Ready Room]

Tovan stood in the turbo lift heading towards the bridge and the ready room. Before he did anything else he wanted to check in with the captain. He smirked to himself thinking back on his journey here and the new science officer but he was quickly awaken from his fantasy and brought back to reality as the turbo lift doors opened. He took a moment just looking out into the bridge from the turbo lift then stepped out. He didn't say anything to anyone on the bridge just headed straight for the ready room door. He chimed it and waited for a reply.

"Come in," Sam said, turning to see who wished to speak to her. When she saw Delon she smiled. "Hi."

Tovan looked across the room at the Captain and returned the smile. "Hello Captain."

"Good to have you back. How did your trip go?"

"It's good to be back Captain." Tovan responded as he walked over to her desk. "It was interesting...I had the privlidge of meeting our new Chief Science officer."

"How is she? I haven't met her yet." Sam would need to head down there soon to see what she planned for the department.

Tovan thought about it for a moment. "Well, I spoke to her briefly so I can't really say much other than that she is an interesting character that shouldn't have too much trouble fitting aboard the Calypso." Tovan said with a bit of a grin on his face.

"That's not encouraging," Sam replied with a wry grin. "At least she'll fit in. Seriously, thought, I look forward to meeting her."

"I don't think there is anything to worry about Captain, I have full confidence in her abilities as a Starfleet officer to get the job done. If she hadn't shown the ability to be a capable Starfleet officer she would have not received this posting." Tovan added.

Sam just nodded in response. "When I heard you were on your way back I sent a copy of the recent reports to your computer. That will help you get back up to speed. Although I'm sure Lieutenant Faye is more than capable of getting you back up to speed. We're still trying to unravel the mess on Michnar VII."

Delon nodded. "Understood ma'am. I will just stay out of the way until this mess on Michnar VII is done then."

"You don't need to stay out of the way. You just need to get up to speed," Sam corrected. "I'm sure you'll be able to help us figure out what's going on down there. How could a planet have over a dozen different forms of power and still manage to work as a cohesive unit under one government?"

Tovan raised an eye brow. "Isn't the Federation an example of that?"

"You don't generally find a dozen different power stations with everything from steam power to advanced Romulan technology on a planet with one government. We even found a cell phone."

"Hmm...that is rather intriguing...I assume that an investigation into this was conducted...what were the findings...?"

"Lieutenant Wexler is still looking into it, but it looks like this is a planet full of scavengers. Small groups, clans, gangs, we're not quite sure how they're organized, but they seem to use whatever they can get their hands on. How they manage as they are we don't know yet."

Tovan nodded. "I see...I am not familiar with Lieutenant Wexler, but I will look into the reports on this matter. It sounds rather interesting."

"It is. Let me know if you learn anything new."

"I will, Captain." Tovan responded. "I suppose I should go settle back in."

"Go ahead, and good luck, Commander."
