James smiled at Michaelangelo as he replied. He was not the least bit disappointed regarding LtCmdr Boffi wanting to get his foster son registered in school since Oriskany wouldn't be cleared for departure for some time yet. Being a foster dad was a big responsibility and the Acting CO did not want to step in the way of anything that needed to be done right away for the Acting XO's family unit.
Cmdr Kee:
I'm sorry, I wasn't even thinking of that! Go right ahead and get Alexander settled in with school, I'll see you aboard Oriskany later on. I just need to disable the Command Codes under my control so the next Captain will have free access.
As the Commander walked over to the CO's chair, he tapped the Companel to activate the interface for a direct connection to Oriskany's main computer core.
Cmdr Kee:
Computer, this is Commander James L. Kee, Acting Captain of USS Sutherland. Discontinue all Command Codes for me as of this moment. This will be my final entry.
With that done, James walked with Michaelangelo over to the Turbolift and they rode it down to their perspective decks to collect their things and place them inside officer's travel cases. As they separated to go to their Quarters, Cmdr Kee got all of his things from the XO's stateroom that he brought with him from Oriskany and placed them in his travel case. Once James was finished, he made his way to the Gangway Exit of Sutherland and walked proudly down into the Observation Lounge of SB34's Space Dock. From there Cmdr Kee was onward to Oriskany...
