Phoenix and Anje entered the Flight Control office on Deck 15 and Phoenix sent a yeoman to find the Flight control officers.

Anje found a seat and waited, figuring Phoenix would make the introductions and what not.

Nerinath came from a console and joined the group gathering around.

When the yeoman came, Miraj was at conn, as Elysoum progressed at what was noe a hopelessly sedate and boring warp 2 after the thrill of the QSD. She asked Avalon to take over, effectively putting the ship on autopilot whilst she answered the captains summons.

Seeing the other flight control officer there, but not the expected department head, only the captain and a woman she didnt know, she took a seat, feeling worried. ,"Is something wrong, ma'am?" she asked the captain.

Pheonix smiled and shook her head. "no nothing wrong Ensign." She did a brief headcount and noted a new officer in senior master chief pips, before turning to the group at large.

"As most of you are aware, Commander Qwyyn was removed from her position here by one Commander Lovejoy." she paused as several long time crew members growled under their breaths. "The commander, along with a number of other staff were all reassigned and I am sorry to say that this department was hit the hardest. But, I am pleased to say that you all stepped up when required. That said, I have need of a senior staff member to assist this department while I fight to get our crew back where they belong.

"Ensign Miraj Derani, as the Assistant chief, had you been here a bit longer you would have been more than considered. Your work with the QSD is exemplary and your handling of the Elysium worthy of note. For the time being, however, Commander Brett," She waved a hand to the woman sitting behind her. "Has volunteered to assist your department. She will be acting Chief of flight control for the next few weeks. And she will also be chief diplomatic officer, so Ensign, she will be relying on you to assist her."

Miraj frowned. What did a diplomat know about flying? Especially a system like the QSD where you could count the number of people who'd flown one without taking off your socks. "Yes, ma'am." Because what else did you say?

Phoenix looked at the rest and her gaze landed on the lone other officer. "Ensign Sh'Rhilror."

"Captain." the Andorian stated, stepping up beside Miraj.

"Commander Qwyyn and Master chief Waters informed me that you have been working with the cadets on the onboard academy and with the shuttle teams."

"Yes Captain."

"And that you wish to join the Starfighter Squadron with Commander Vaii."

"Eventually captain. I understand that my duties will now change with the loss of the command team of Flight control."

"Indeed. Ensign, you will support Ensign Derani and Commander Brett in whatever they require. The three of you, are going to have to keep this ship flying and this department running."

"Don't worry about the administrative functions of the department, I've got that handled." Anje reassured the Andorian woman, "Just need you to keep us between the Galors for the time being is all."

Miraj snorted. "I could do that on the point of brain death, let alone blindfolded with one hand behind my back." If this diplomat thought that was a difficult feat, it was going to be a long trip

Phoenix smiled. Flight Controllers always were confident. "Ensign Derani, you will continue with being our main pilot for the QSD until further notice ok?"

Miraj beamed, she wanted nothing more. "Yes, ma'am. Thank you man'am"

Anje had to fight her Russian instincts back to keep from putting the arrogant little bitch with her bazooka gum hair in her place, ~Oh, for the good old days when Ensigns said 'Yes, Commander.' when a superior spoke to them instead of firing back some smartass comment.~

Nerinath merely let the conversation continue without comment. She was not interested in staking claims. She just wanted to fly things.

Anje noted the Andorian Ensign was being quiet and respectful, seemed she had less attitude than the Boslic woman, that was good at least.

Phoenix looked around and nodded. "You will all make time to get to know commander Brett as soon as possible." She let her tone state it was non-negotiable. "Dismissed."
