The XO cracked a small smile and returned the nod. He then turned to the Ensign and spoke.

Cmdr Ashborn: So Ensign, what is your favorite story about the Admiral?

He had personally not heard many stories of the Admiral's heroics, but he wished to hear what the Ensign had been told. He looked to the Captain to see if she would allow the conversation to proceed.

She smiled at the offer and waited patiently for the Ensign to begin. She chimed in.

Capt Harris: I heard he once wrestled a targ to the ground with his bare hands.

She nodded with a slightly sardonic smile and grinned as the turbolift doors slid open and she stepped out and walked down the corridor to the Transporter room.

Walking in she turned to Admiral Skyner and snapped to attention.

The Commander took in the Captain's tale of the Admiral with a bit of suprise. To wrestle a targ was quite impressive.

He followed the Captain out of the turbolift and turned to check on the young Ensign.

Cmdr Ashborn: Are you comming Ensign?

The Commander turned back and proceeded to the Transporter Room. He assumed his place next to the Captain and set to attention.

After he was dismissed, he turned at heal, walked out of the Ready Room and made his way across the bridge over to the Turbo Lift. As the doors to the Turbo Lift hissed with their familiar sound, he entered and instructed it where to take him.

1Lt Elbrun: Marine Detachment Commander's office.

As the Turbo Lift took him to his office, he looked over the information on the PADD in his hand. Once the Turbo Lift stopped and the doors opened, he exited. Andrus made his way down the corridor to his office and entered, placing the PADD on his desk, he activated the terminal as he sat in his office chair and began to read the Marines' roster and duty rotations.

Admiral Skyner looked at Captain Harris, Commander Ashborn--whom he recognized from LCARS-- and an Ensign. He nodded at them.

Adm Skyner: As you were. I am Admiral Jaeson Skyner, Commander in Chief Gamma Fleet. With the exception of Captain Harris and Commander Ashborn, who are you Ensign?

He awaited comments from the CO.

She relaxed into her "at ease" position and nodded to the Ensign.

Capt Harris: This is Ensign Amornus. He requested to be present for your arrival...apparently he is a fan of yours Sir. Shall we begin? I thought it would be best to start with Engineering...it's closest.

She stepped towards the door, through the threshold, and turned to wait for the others.

Admiral Skyner nodded to the CO and the officers infront of him.

Adm Skyner: Captain, thank you for having me aboard, I would love to start with engineering.

He waited for the Captain to lead the way.

The XO dropped from attention and turned to the Ensign that had accompanied them.

Cmdr Ashborn: Ensign, now is the time for you to say something to the Admiral if you wish. If not, then please return to your post and prepare your station. Speak now or forever hold your peace.

The Commander walked to the other side of the Transporter Room door and stood there awaiting the Admiral and Ensign.

Theseus made his way from the gangway, and used the computer to direct him to his quarters. Upon arriving, he entered throwing his luggage beside his bed for assortment later. Then spoke to the ship's computer.

Cwmn Maropulos: Computer, please inform the Captain that her Yeomen is present, and reporting for duty.

He nodded, and turned back towards the bed, and sprawled out and smiled.

Seeing that neither the crewman nor the Admiral were going to exchange words with each other she quickly allowed the doors to close. Ordering the turbolift to the engineering deck she turned to the Admiral.

Capt Harris: I do hope you find everything on board suitable. We have an ambassador's suite prepared if you will be staying for more than a day. We will begin with Engineering and work our way up through all of the vital sections, stopping of course by any other areas you may wish to visit.

As the turbolift came to a stop she stepped out to lead the Admiral to Engineering. Upon approaching the door she straightened her uniform and walked quickly into the room, smiling as all of the crewmen jumped to attention for their guest.
