Casper was over at one of the Monitoring stations within the CDID, standing with Crewman Mathews there were watching a few vessels that were acting a bit strangely in a few systems over. They were of two different classes and from what it seemed two different races as well. From what they could tell they were prewarp as Mathews had been tracking them for a few days now but they had just moved within the same sector. Within ten minutes of them approaching each other one of the ships signals were lost. The other ship then moved off at a slower pace then before the two signals had come together, "War?" Mathews said without confidence.

"That or the current vessel on the screen is some type of Mothership," Casper replied to the Young Female Crewman, "Keep an eye on it and lets see if we can find anything more about that race. Mathews nodded and Casper moved back to the Command table in the middle of the room. It was then that he noticed a young Ensign standing over to the side, "Yes, Ensign how can I be of assistance?" he asked.

"Ensign Aaron Michaels, reporting for duty." Aaron said, coming to attention. The entire time he'd been keeping an eye on things and taking in everything, already forming ideas in his head.

"Relax Ensign," Casper replied he was aware that he was getting another Officer he just hadn't thought it had been so soon or an Ensign as well, "You come from the Hawaii correct?" it was odd to have a 29 year old Ensign but there has recently been a lot of middle aged people going through the Academy Casper was looking forward to seeing what this Ensign could do.

"Yes sir." Aaron said, smirking ever so slightly.

"Well then... Tell me about yourself Ensign," Casper nodded motioning for Aaron to follow him they moved down to the CDID Chief Office.

"I could be here a whole life time," Michaels replied to his superior officer, "I am a hard working and talented Officer that is here to get the job done."

"That is good to hear Ensign because we have a lot of work to do to get this Department back into a ship shape organization," Casper nodded to the Ensign, "I see you saw some action during the Gorn incident. That is good. I want you to head up our Encryption team use whoever you want to within the Department." Casper pushed forward their current roster.

"Yes, Sir. Thank-you Sir," Aaron replied getting up and moving towards the door eager to look through the roster and pick who he wanted to be on his team.

Casper watched him leave with a smile, he remembered back to his own first section assignment. It was like having your own little team and it was a good management tool for him to understand the structure of the area that he was in. Although he came from the Marines so a Platoon 2IC allowed him to understand the Platoons but also the Sections within that Platoon it also made him understand how things worked within the Battalion that they were assigned to. He hoped to continue that type of stuff here within the Navy side of the Fleet, turning his attention back to screen his next assignment was to try and find more staff!!!
