T'Shaamet nodded her head as she tapped the PADD in her hands. "I don't want a rookie for this billet," she commented. "So widening my search... Removing anyone who is Lieutenant and below," she commented aloud as she tapped away at the PADD with her fingers.

"How many hits?" Horner inquired after waiting a moment.

"Four." T'Shaamet sounded suprised as she shifted her attention to Horner. "I thought I'd have more." as the small Vulcan frowned before she gently grasped the largely forgotten drink she had ordered the better part of an hour ago and had simply forgotten about until now, she lifted it to her mouth and drank half of the contents of the mug, she then paused before she decided to simply finish the drink which she did a moment later, she then disposed of the mug back into the replicator for recycling.

T'Shaamet returned her attention to the PADD in her hand as she regarded the list. "Tomas Larson. Says he's skilled in fields I've never heard of. Xenobiology, xeno-obstetrics and a few others." she commented. "He's newly promoted to Lt Commander and he's available," she commented.

"What was he reassigned for?" Horner commented in a soft tone of voice. "There is always something there... It might be simple or polite but he wants out for a reason."

"He wants to go back into the field, rather than being stuck on a Starbase..." T'Shaamet paused. "I'll let you or Kayden look at him. Let's see who else... Dvald..." she paused. "Theris Dvald-Veldama. Isn't that Siaxx's sister?" as she regarded a Bolian woman she once knew quite well.

"I believe so," Horner commented. "I've not talked with Siaxx in way too long, I do need to fix that... I pick up my new command while I'm here on Vanguard so now I can address that..." the larger human female paused as she recalled various events and details with Siaxx that still made her blush. "I also owe her a night of sex too, due to a foolish bet I made against her, she called me on it... I was to serve as the entertainment at an adults-only party and she was to do the same for me... She won..." as she grinned. "I'll let her claim her prize if she wishes it."

"Sounds kinky, I might have to come along too," T'Shaamet answered with a nod of her head. "I want in on this. If she decides to accept, that is..."

"Sounds good to me," Horner answered with a smile. She knew that the entertainment was not required to have sex with the party guests, they were just there to entertain. Horner decided she needed to move matters back to events at hand. "Anyway. It says here that Theris is assigned to the Valhalla."

"That's Todd Sims's command." T'Shaamet lightly tapped her combadge. "Bridge, this is the Captain. Could you contact the USS Valhalla for me... I'd like to speak with her Captain?." she commented via the ship's com system.

"Aye Captain, we're placing your call now." came the response. "Please stand by." the officer added.

T'Shaamet tapped the display once, it then quickly emerged from her desk, the screen then lit up with the face of Commodore Todd Sims who was seated behind his own desk. "Commodore Antilles, what can I do for you?" he inquired with a gentle smile.

"Commodore Sims, I am given to understand that your present Chief of Clinic is looking for a new assignment?" the small limbed Vulcan inquired with a gentle nod of her head.

"She is, she indicated that she was dissatisfied with her assignment and she wished to go back to being a Chief Medical Officer of a smaller ship of the line."
he paused. "Considering that this ship is new, her class is new and so is her classification. We've never had a Federation ship that's this large before so I can't say I really blame her... Theris is an excellent officer all around, she's mild-mannered and she has a good sense of humor... All of those are things I consider essentials in this decadent age."

"May I speak with her?" T'Shaamet inquired.

"Of course." as he tapped the display a few times, he tapped his combadge. "Sims to Com center, could you route this call down to the Chief of Clinic's office please?" he inquired.

"Right away sir." came the answer as Sims smiled. "It was good talking with you Commodore." and with that, the screen went black.

T'Shaamet waited as the call was being connected when a moment later the face of a Bolian female appeared before her. "Commander Theris Dvald-Veldama?" she inquired of the Bolian woman, just to be sure.

"Yes... What can I do for you, ma'am?" the Bolian asked with a gentle smile.

"I'm here to see if you are available for an assignment, Chief Medical Officer on the Infinity." T'Shaamet inquired.

"I am yes..." the small Bolian woman responded. "Do you have any openings for Operations personel?" Dvald-Veldama inquired, she sounded unsettled and unsure.

"As a matter of fact, we do. The Chief slot is open there... Do you know someone who might be qualified?" T'Shaamet inquired with a nod of her head.

"My primary husband... He's sitting next to me actually."

"Very well, send me his file and I will evaluate him," T'Shaamet answered with a gentle nod of her head, as she brushed her hair back out of her eyes. Dvald-Veldama went about doing just that as Horner downloaded the file onto a PADD. She gave it the once over. "He's experienced and he's much better then Meslina... It also says that he's due for promotion to Lt Commander soon. He's laid back and he's able to work long hours amid stupid distractions... I'd say take him. If he's willing to come along, take him... Either you do it, or I'll take him for my own command."

"That will not be necessary," T'Shammet answered. "Lieutenant Veldama, do you wish the posting of Chief Operations Officer on my ship?" she inquired of him as he had yet to be formally asked.

"Yes ma'am, I'd like that very much. Thank you."

"You are both welcome..." she paused. "Commander Dvald-Veldama, do you wish the assignment as my Chief of medical?"

"I do. Yes, ma'am." the Bolian female answered, a wide grin on her lips.

"Excellent., both of those assignments are yours then." the small-framed Vulcan answered. "I look forward to meeting you both in person upon your arrival." as she nodded. "Antilles out." and with that, she terminated the transmission with a simple tap of a button.
