It was a new initiative. All Assistant chiefs, and lets be honest there were not that many, had a meeting of their own in deck 4's main crew lounge.

Olivia walked into the lounge and looked around. The others hadn't shown up yet, but she figured they would show up soon. Olivia walked over towards the coffee station to fix herself a cup of coffee.

Seeing that he was the second to arrive, Turak decided to get a cup of coffee and meet his fellow Assistants Chief. He walked up to the coffee station and said to Lieutenant Voight, “glad to see that I’m not the only one who likes to arrive early. I’m the new Assistant Chief of Security, where do you work?”

Olivia looked up and smiled a bit. "I'm the new Assistant Chief Medical Officer," Olivia replied. "Arriving early sometimes comes in handy to check things out."

Turak replied to Olivia, “Sounds like you’d make a good security officer if you ever wanted a change of scenery!”

Olivia laughed a little. "You would be surprised at the knowledge that I have when it comes to the Security department in general," Olivia replied.

Looking at Olivia, Turak asked, “do tell, how did you come by this knowledge? Are you a former security officer?”

"Me personally no," Olivia replied with a little laugh. "One of the previous hosts for my symbiont was a Security Officer, so I have access to all those memories."

"Ah, very interesting," replied Turak. "Well, if I ever need advice from someone with experience, I'll be sure to ask you."

"I'm sure that there might of been a few changes over the years since the Security host for my symbiont, but I'm sure I can help out on some of the old school stuff if needed," Olivia said. "Plus, the other previous host for my symbiont was in Communications, so they were pretty good on some of the languages."

"Sometimes the old school way is still the best way - after all, there have been cases where I could see more with my eyes than a tricorders could tell me. As for the languages, we'll see if we can use your skills in the future...," Turak responded with a slight smile.

At 12:59 Miraj made it through the doors, slightly flushed and pulling her pink bunches tight from where they'd started to slip free again. She'd been reading over the schematics for the conn now the Slipstream drive had been installed. It was a totally different experience, much more hands on. If it wasn't for the second alarm she'd set, she wouldn't have made it on time. As it was it was a long run from her quarters to the Crew Lounge. "Is this the assistant department head's meeting?"

Seeing that Miraj looked a little winded from what he assumed was being in a hurry to arrive on time, Turak answered, "it is, and you're on time. My name is Turak and I am the newly re-appointed Assistant Security Chief - what is your name and which department are you from?" Of course he asked his question with what he hoped was a friendly smile.

"I'm Miraj, sir" the ensign replied, relieved there was someone there who seemed to be in charge. She noted the profusion of pips on his collar. A lieutenant commander was only an assistant head? And then her, just an ensign who could count the days since graduation without taking off her socks? She hoped this wasn't going to get awkward. "Flight Control. Please to meet you, sir." She looked at Voight and added, "Ma'am."

as the new Mairne XO and a new member of the Elysium 1st lieutenant Corrisk Malluk entered the crew lounge on deck 4 and asked a fellow officer" Is this the meeting for the deputy department heads?" he asked.

Carter Smith entered the crew lounge and nodded to those people he knew. He grabbed an ice tea from the replicator, then walked to a table and sat down. "I'm not late, am I?"

"You're here before me, So I dare say you're not late," Dr. Nevada McKay said as she Strode in like she owned the place, a small flask in hand. "So, Who's running this shindig?" she asked as she unceremoniously slumped herself into a chair.

Turak replied to Dr. McKay, "I wasn't aware that anyone in particular was in charge of this 'shindig.' I believe it was meant to be a social get-together....unless things have changed since the last one I attended?"

"Not sure if I even remember the last one I attended." Smith replied. "Anyway, guess I'll start it off. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Carter Smith and I'm the assistant chief engineer of the ship."

Turak added in, "for those new faces in the room, I am Lieutenant Commander Turak, newly reappointed Assistant Chief of Security. I say newly reappointed not because of any disciplinary action against myself but because I recently had to take some personal leave that lasted about 3 months. However, I am glad to be back and was quite surprised to receive the rank of Lieutenant Commander almost immediately. Also, you might have noticed that I am Vulcan, but demonstrate emotions, which is very un-Vulcan! The reason being is that I was raised away from my home world by parents who are considered to be Vulcans without logic. It suites me, I could never hold it in..."

"Well...I know I don't get out of the Science labs...or my quarters enough..." Nevada muttered as she slowly leaned forward. "I...uhm...My Name Is Dr. Nevada McKay, I'm The assistant Science chief..." she trailed off and rubbed her arm. "Thats about...it I guess..."

Miraj raised a hand. "I'm Miraj, I graduated two weeks ago. Flight control." There was far too many pips on other collars for her comfort.

Smith looked around the room. "So. I guess we now know each other's names. If that's the only reason we're here, I guess we're done. Unless someone has something to say."

Turak chimed in, "I'm good as well, unless someone has anything else....the gym is calling my name."

Smith stood up. "Well, if no one else has anything to say...I guess we can call it a night."

Corisk said "well good night everybody" he left the crew lounge on deck 4 and went to deck 32 to his cabin number 24 to get some sleep because he had a meetting with his boss Major azhul Naxea at 0800 hours
