Commodore T'Shammet regarded Horner. "That went well... It was almost too easy." she breathed out and then back in again. "I expected her to turn me down rather than accept," she admitted.

"I didn't see that coming either," Horner answered as she turned her attention back to the small Vulcan before her. "I figured she'd either turn us down or she'd string us along before she finally accepted. Either way... I'm glad she did." she paused as she regarded the Vulcan before her. "So, next item?"

"Call in Meslina and offer her security... I read her file, she has considerable training in the martial sciences from a half dozen worlds." she commented evenly, she regarded Horner. "Why is this woman not in security already?" she inquired.

"It's her personality, she tends to be rather abrasive and she rubs people the wrong way," Horner answered.

"Rubbing people the right way tends to cause its fair share of misunderstandings," T'Shammet answered in a flat tone of voice which Horner snickered, she smiled as she shook her head. "Sorry, you told a joke..." Horner commented with a smile.

"That was not my intention, nevertheless... It is what it is." the small Vulcan sighed as she tapped her combadge. "T'Shaamet to Amakawa, could you come in here please?" she asked of the small framed Trill woman.

"Right away." came the answer. A moment later the small Trill woman was sitting before T'Shaamet in silence. "What can I do for you sir?"

T'Shaamet regarded the small-framed woman before her. "Tell me something Meslina... Would you say you were wasted in Operations... Your skillset goes neglected and unused..."

"Yes. I would." the Trill answered as she regarded the Vulcan. "I am not a good computer geek, I can do it but I prefer other outlets for my issues and concerns."

"Well, I am told that security is about to open up and you were mentioned for the slot... Morae's old slot, as she is now my new First Officer, she mentioned how you felt bored and in need of a challenge for your other skillset which I took the liberty of reading about... well now, a lot of abilities and skills... and yet you spent your last three assignments as an Operations officer." T'Shaamet explained. "I have to ask why?"

"On the Roanoke, I did not wish to deal with the dregs of that ship so I left it to Jason Saint, he was... shall we say, more suited cleaning up that ship, considering he was a stain on that ship, himself," she commented. "Various issues and incidents on that ship, led me to come to that conclusion ma'am..." she shrugged. "Starbase Four Hundred did not wish for me to utilize my skillset so I was forced to improvise one... Tolerance for the ignorance of the Admiral, that should have been an achievement on that assignment." the small Trill added in a rather dry tone of voice.

"Yes, I read about that Admiral in question," T'Shaamet answered in a rather dry tone of voice. "Let's not go there, Jake wishes to-" she paused. "Shall we say, remove him and there are a lot of other people who are not much better off."

"Very wise ma'am," Amakawa answered in a flat tone of voice.

"Well, the slot of Chief security is Open, do you wish the posting"?"|

"I do, very much so," Amakawa answered with a nod of her head.

"Very well, congratulations Commander. May this new assignment bring you some relief from the issues you presently face. At the very least you can use that combat training to good use at long last."

"Excellent ma'am," Amakawa answered with a gentle smile that appeared on her face. "I almost can't wait..." she answered

"Alright, go put on the yellow uniform then and go see Morae to sort things out, off with you then." and with that, the small Trill female departed the ready room.

"Well, that went well," Horner commented evenly.

"Indeed." the small Vulcan commented. "We still need a new Chief Medical officer to replace Jackson..."

"Yes... Will Jackson get along with Meslina?" Horner inquired. "A former Doctor with repressed rage issues and a hard-up Trill woman who badly needs to get laid... Yes, their interactions will be interesting in various ways." the large human female smiled at the other woman before her.

"I suspect he wishes to bed her," T'Shaamet commented in a light tone of voice. "Though I doubt they will make it to the bed... and if they do then I will not be overly concerned with the details of the coupling." she then shrugged. "If Jackson wishes to share how he found the sex with the angry Trill then he may share, if not then I will not be offended in the least," she commented.

"Well that was profound," Horner commented in a light tone of voice. "Let's move on... We need a new Chief medical office to replace Jackson, let's see who's available."
