Mission:
Deep Freeze
Location: Security complex
Timeline: MD 05 : 1600 Hrs.
Lillian was tired, but she still had official duties to take care before she could find her quarters and go to bed. First, she had to find the Security chief. Upon entering the complex Lillian looked around and several people were running to and fro, Lillian stopped the first person she could, "Excuse me, where can I find the chief's office or preferably the chief himself?"
Theo stopped as a woman called out to him. "You would have found him. Can I help you, Lieutenant?" He wondered moving through the small crowd of people that happened at a change over of shifts.
"Yes Sir, I'm your new assistant. Lieutenant JG Lillian James reporting for duty sir." Lillian said as he approached her.
Theo raised an eyebrow. This woman was not who he was expecting at all. He was expecting his Assistant to be an Andorian woman in her 50’s. “Um okay. You are not who I expected at all.” The man admitted.
"All I was told sir, was that the colony needed an assistant security chief and that I was it. Can I ask sir, who you were expecting?" Lillian said studying the man before her, and hoping that he would hold it against her for not being who was expected.
"Someone a lot bluer and doesn't mind the cold." The man said with shrug. "Makes no difference I guess." He didn't mind really but he was going to glance through her file to see what kind of woman she was.
"I see, an Andorian would certainly tolerate the cold more than me. Sir, after I put my stuff in my quarters, where ever they are, I would like permission to make sure that all vehicles, ground, and air have emergency kits in them. The ground vehicle I was in did not and I was stuck by myself until Commander Mahone and the male nurse, I forgot his name, the blonde Lt. Anyways, I was stuck until they came along and rescued me." Lillian said hoping that she wasn't stepping on anyone's toes with that request.
"Sure but you need to make sure Operations know you are doing it and you can explain to them why it is being done." The man said thinking that maybe the woman should be checking in and getting to know how Security worked before bothering with other things. Who was he to judge the woman on her first day there?
"Okay, I'll put that on my to-do list," Lillian said, "I've checked in with Commander Mahone, but I still need to unpack at some point, but I'm ready to jump into anything that you need right now. So what would you like me to do Chief?"
"Why don't you do a patrol of the colony." He said thinking that she might as well get into the thick of things and know the layout of the land before she did much else.
"Alright Chief, but where can I get the cold weather gear at, I've was stuck freezing in a broken down ground vehicle without the gear and I don't intend to do that again." She said thinking that it was wise to bring that situation up.
"Your have to replicate a set I am afraid." The man said with a small nod to where an industrial replicator stood for that purpose. He was surprised that she hadn't come to the surface in the gear as most people came down wearing it but he needed to know more about the woman before he made a judgement on whether it was going to work or not.
"Thanks, Chief," Lillian said and then made her way to the replicator. After the gear was replicated she put on her stuff and walked out to explore the colony and to patrol it at the same time.
