Eve glanced up as Eresh'ta apologized. It was a rare sight indeed. Not often did Andorians apologize for anything... to anyone. She looked around, and turned in the direction of the duty officer.
"First off... there is nothing to ask forgiveness for. If anyone should be asking for forgiveness, it should be me. If you wish to atone... then promise that you will do your duties to the utmost of your ability. Because I am promising you the same. My behavior as of recent has been unbecoming... and I am going to attempt to change that. So... we will make a pact. We will both keep each other on our toes. Agreed?"
Eve made her way towards the center chair, relieving the new captain. Neria seemed a little... skittish? It was understandable. Eve had held the captain's position before, and it wasn't as easy as it looked. Neria had said to Eresh'ta, "I'm not my father." That was going to take some getting used to.
The rendezvous was uneventful, but the arrival of the new XO was anything but. Eve felt a little strange with the new XO coming aboard. While it had never been officially declared, Eve had practically been the Arcadia's unofficial first officer. She bore no animosity towards the Epachan, nor to Neria. It was probably her behavior in recent weeks that prompted Starfleet to select an official executive officer.
The greeting ceremony was a fascinating one. If there was anyone on the bridge who had no qualms about physical contact in a greeting, it was certainly Eve. This Epachan seemed to be a unique addition to the ship's crew.
Her thoughts were interrupted by a com beep. "Commander Ordalani... this is Lieutenant Marchese."
"Go ahead, Lieutenant."
"Ma'am... you asked me to remind you. You have an appointment with the CMO."
Right. To see how her body was adjusting to her new medication. "Thank you, Lieutenant. I'm on my way. Ordalani out." She made her way to the turbolift. "Sickbay." A brief moment later, she exited, and made her way to the ship's medical office. She began looking for the doctor... preferably Tabatha.
