"That would be a little hard, Ensign."
Sheesh... Sharpay thought as she almost rolled her eyes. By the tone of the Lt. Commanders voice she knew not to visit that question with her again. "Sorry." She muttered a low apology for stepping on her toes. Knowing this was someone who'd she be on the Orion with for a very long time Sharpay knew now was not the time to cross her.
Sharpay finished off her root beer then began rolling the empty cup between her hands. She was still waiting for a response from the Klingon officer. Sharpay knew she was going to have to leave soon,and she really didn't want to miss an answer to her light,but dry spoken question.

"It's a free universe."
"hmm.." James didn't care much for sarcasm, it always was a bit of a pet peeve of his, nevertheless he sat down. As a typical Klingon he cut right to the point and asked "so what did you do to get assigned to this ship?!".

"so what did you do to get assigned to this ship?!".
Sharpay watched as the Klingon took a seat. Ship? How would he know if I was assigned to a ship? Sharpay questioned herself in thought. She was one of many officers onboard a starbase. How did he know she did not have an assignment here? Sharpay had to find out a little more before she said anything.The crew was not exactly suppost to be telling all about their mission.
Sharpay looked to the Lt. Commander then to James. "What ship praytell are you talking about? Better yet..." Sharpay peeked at his pips. "Commander,who are you and why do you wish to know?" Sharpay was not going to risk slipping information to someone she just met.
She especially was not going to risk talking to a spy. It was rather well known that many species would go undercover to get the newest Starfleet information. Since Pathfinder had been set up when Voyager was still lost secrets had been tried to be stolen. Ferengi even kidnapped and reprogramed Lt. Barkley's hologram to make a profit.

Krymerik chose to hold her tongue, let the Klingon respond to the Ensign's words. The question itself was an honest one by what the Andorian could read. There was something vaguely familiar about this but she couldn't yet place it. She knew Thanos was watching the Klingon male with mixed emotions but Krymerik wasn't sure as to why that was. Her eye flickered from the human to the Commander and then she stretched before glancing at others in the Mess, noting a Captain here and there.

"Commander,who are you and why do you wish to know?"
James looked at Sharpay and quickly replied " My name is Commander James Gallant, I will be your first officer aboard the USS Orion. You may be wondering how I know you and Lt. Commander Krymerik zh'Loran, well I make it my mission to know everything about the people I will be working with!". James though to himself that that should answer her question and make he comfortable in answering his previous one.

Krymerik smiled with amusement as Thanos blinked and then went to cling to her. She looked at him and shook her head a little, she allowed him to grasp her hand though. He was still rather young. She sat back a little to watch Sharpay's reaction. She wasn't at all surprised that he knew about junior officers. She would have, but she hadn't the time and there wasn't much need for her to know everyone on board the Orion. She had only read the files of those in Tactical and Security for which all lay beneath her command. Her second was human. From a place on Earth known as Indiana. She had kept to San Francisco or the near area.

" My name is Commander James Gallant, I will be your first officer aboard the USS Orion. You may be wondering how I know you and Lt. Commander Krymerik zh'Loran, well I make it my mission to know everything about the people I will be working with!".
"I see." Sharpay said as she stopped fiddling with her cup and just let it rest upon the table. "Well,I suppose then I can answer your question. You'll forgive me for having been cautious Commander." Sharpay folded her hands and let them rest on the table. "As any Starfleet officer I graduated the academy. Had a knack and interest in engineering soooo I majored in warp and temporal mechanics. Worked for a bit then was assigned by one of the high ranking paper pushers."
Sharpay glanced between Krymerik and James now. "What about the two of you?" Sharpay looked at Krymerik's nephew for just a moment before returning her attention to the officers. "Accounting for your age by looks I assume you had previous postings. What were they?"

An engineer, eh? Looks like we'll be seeing plenty of each other, Krymerik mused as she toyed over her response before settling for a straightening of the shoulder. "I previously served on board the U.S.S Titan, assistant chief of Tactical and Security," she smiled, she had rather enjoyed her time there. She missed the LUNA class ship's crew, particularly Dr. Ree, Bralik and that Bajoran she couldn't quite remember the name of.

"Accounting for your age by looks I assume you had previous postings. What were they?"
"well, let's see, my last assignment was commanding the space station Deep space nine, which I did for 7 years and before that I served aboard the USS Defiant". After answering the question, James got up from his seat and went over to the replicator and ordered a meal. He then returned to his seat and started to eat. Once finished, he asked Sharpay "You must be excited to serve aboard the USS Orion, I know I am".

"You must be excited to serve aboard the USS Orion, I know I am".
Sharpay gave a nod at both answers.
"Did you two get booted off,request a transfer,or get assigned?" Sharpay questioned as she pointed to each of them. She looked at Krymerik. "So you got promoted then got the boot or what?" Sharpay then looked at James. "And if you'll forgive me for asking commander,but aren't you a little..." Sharpay paused a moment. "old to be a commander. I mean shouldn't you be an admiral or something by now?"
Sharpay sat up straight from her slouching position.
"I'm not chippy cheerleader excited or anything,but I am content. I am curious as to who and what the chief will be like. Then again who doesn't wonder things like that?" Sharpay lightly laughed.

"And if you'll forgive me for asking commander,but aren't you a little..." Sharpay paused a moment. "old to be a commander. I mean shouldn't you be an admiral or something by now?"
James quickly replies "True I may be a bit old for a commander and yes I should be an admiral, I have been offered the position many of times, but I keep turning them down, as I don't want a cushy desk job, I want to be out exploring, and I know your going to ask why I'm not a captain then. Well the answer to that is simple if I were to take my own command those pencil pushers would easily find a way to force me to become an admiral or a captain with a desk job, this way I get to serve. Maybe in a few years once all my sons are on their own I will decide to take the position, but for now I am content with everything the way it is." James thought to himself "that will keep her quiet for the time being". Then he turned his attention to Krymerik, "so what about you?".

"So you got promoted then got the boot or what? "So what about you?"
Krymerik relaxed to the chair and watched the senior and the junior speak to each other, watching them with her studious curiosity. It was her job to be observant and besides, she kept her enemies close, her friends closer.
Her head tilted slightly before she replied, eyes flitting from one to the other in the opinion the Ensign was a little high on her self or something. "I don't think 'booted' is quite the right term, Ensign. My former immediate commander recommended me for the position. They offered, I accepted. The transfer came with the promotion,"
She said nothing else

"So you're following Riker's footsteps in a manner of speaking..." Sharpay smiled and leaned forward with her elbows on the table. "To each their own I suppose." Her eyes then quickly flickered to Krymerik's nephew. Hope no babysitting jobs are required. Sharpay thought a bit dryly to herself. The thought couldn't help but cross her mind...after all it was a long voyage and she was young.
"I don't think 'booted' is quite the right term, Ensign. My former immediate commander recommended me for the position. They offered, I accepted. The transfer came with the promotion,"
"A recommendation?" Sharpay questioned with mild surprise. "Well,you must have done a bang up job somewhere along the way."

Krymerik watched the Ensign, noting she was doing most of the questioning around her, but Krymerik had never been much of a conversationalist unless she had to talk. "Riker got there eventually," she stated softly, she had a deep respect for her former Captain. She was fortunate to know that he, unlike some, understood the wisdom of staying on the Bridge and letting others go into what may turn out to be a hostile situation.
"Well,you must have done a bang up job somewhere along the way."
She smiled wryly, "Perhaps it is an expression overused, but I was just doing the job required of me," she stated modestly. "Isn't it a human saying that no job is worth doing by halves?" she questioned and glanced slightly to the Commander before peering back to the pinkskin.

James got up from the table and then proceeded to his quarters. Once there he was greeted by his wife. James was feeling quite tired as he had had a very long day, he decided it was time to get some rest as he had a big day tomorrow.
