Mission: Mission 103: The Rumblings of Discontent
Location: Various Locations - USS Solemn Penance
Timeline: 1400Hrs - August 20th, 2393

Aboard the Transport USS Mount Mackenzie Grieve, Two dozen or so people were waiting patiently to board the ship that would be their next assignments, of those, the vast majority were none humans and thus would not be able to assist with their efforts. Lieutenant Martin Shkreli noted as he regarded several male and female Bolian's and Vulcans present. One of the new arrivals present was a Caitian and Shkreli couldn't tell the gender, also he didn't care to bother with it either. He heard the intercom system beep at all present. "Attention, all personnel transferring to USS Solemn Penance, we have arrived and we are now prepared to send you over to her, thank you for traveling with us."

Shkreli turned the rest of the information out as he watched a half a dozen others stepped up onto the pad before they were beamed away, the process was repeated another three times with Skherli himself in the last group. Shkreli found himself standing before a man he did not know. "Permission to come, aboard sir?" he inquired of the massive man in the center of the room.

"Permission Granted," Walthers answered politely, he had no idea why the smaller man before him in a medical officers uniform was even asking in the first place but then he had little place in life for the old school formality of the naval service of the Federation, it seemed that the others present, however, would disagree with him on the matter.

Shkreli waited patiently as Walters was dishing out PADD'sd to the various personnel present. "Alright, you, you and you, head on outside and see Lieutenant Smithson, he's waiting for you," he commented evenly, the process took a few minutes but then Walters was dealing with everyone in the order of their arrival and not any real preference. Shkreli waited his turn in silence as Walters went about his business. "Alright, everyone, head down to the quartermaster and then onto sickbay and get yourselves processed. Dismissed," he added the last before he turned to Shkreli. "Welcome aboard Doctor. I heard you are to be our new Chief Medical Officer."

"Yes..." Shkreli answered. "I am indeed. It seems that I came right in time." Shkreli said quietly.

Walters raised an eyebrow. "You did?" he inquired. "Why do you say that?"

"Sorry Commander, I was.. thinking aloud," Skherli answered quickly. "Its nothing important," he added.

Walters nodded, filing the moment away for further review and contemplation later. "Very well, so, off to your quarters first or would you prefer a tour."

"My Quarters please, I need to drop my things off then I will head on down to sickbay and see how things are run," Skherli answered with a nod. "Then I can get to work once I check in with my people."

The two men walked out of the transporter room, Shkreli followed Walters in silence, the two men moved down the hallway and into a turbolift. "Quartermasters office," Walters said evenly while Skherli held his tongue.

Ther turbolift sped to its destination, the doors opened a moment later, the two men got off as three others waited to get onto the turbolift and the lift sped these three to their various destinations while Walters and Shkreli moved towards their destination, the quartermaster's offices which both men entered a moment later., Shkreli checked in and picked up his room assignment. The two men then moved off towards their next destination. "Will you be needing time to settle in Doctor?" he inquired.

"I'll need an hour or so to unpack and then I'll go find medical," he commented. "I do not wish to keep you from your other duties Commander."

"Alright. Then I'll see you later." and with that, Walters turned and departed as Skherli went into his new home away from home. "Mmmm Nice place we have here," he commented as he placed his bag onto the tabletop in the center of the room. "Alright, its time to go to work." and with that, he opened the bag to reveal a rather sophisticated looking computer system. Shkreli smiled as he decided to go to work.
