As the door chimed the captain, looked up and said, "Enter." He recognized the junior lieutenant from his bio which he had been reading.
He stood up and greeted Atwood with a handshake, "Sit Lieutenant, please."
"Thanks Sir", Charles said while he took the seat in front of the Capt.
"I've been reviewing your request for transfer, and I have approved it pending a few stipulations..." Capt Hunter paused.
..the first is, I'm curious about why you want to transfer from Qul Tuq as engineer, to the Zion, as an Intel officer. Do you have any experience with intel lieutenant?"
"Yes sir, while I served in the Enterprise under Adm Picard, I served as the Engineer for the black ops away team, sir", said Charles Quietly "All the files where classified and the only thing that remains in my service record is under Strengths the rest was wiped out from it for security purposes, sir"
Hunter couldn't help a small involuntary smile. "Understood Lieutenant..." He leaned back in his chair.
"Then there is just a small matter of how your transfer request came about..." Hunter sighed. "When I spoke with Hawkins he stated that I had asked you to join the Zion. I don't recall initiating such a request Lieutenant. Do you understand my concern here?" stated Hunter, locking eye contact with Atwood.
"Sir, First, of all I must apologize for the misunderstood but since the attack on the Klingon Delegation and the death of Capt Kreena I have been a little Shock, And there's another thing my Fiancee Melissa Was Injured in the Attack, She was acting as the Security Liasson for the Klingon Delagates so as you can imagine, i am a little off character cause of this events, If I said something wrong, I sincerely Apologize Sir, I can asure you that it won't happen again sir...If I may say so I miss being on a starship an so does melissa", Said Charles Hoping he had said it all.
Hunter leaned forward and considered Atwood. He was somewhat satisfied but addressed Atwood sternly. "Look, I understand, but from here on out, as you serving as my intellegence officer, you need to be straight and on the up and up with me. Regardless of what is happening around you, understood? An error in judgement on your part could cost lives. I'll be keeping an eye on you. I am confident you won't disappoint me."
"Sir I'm Sure I Won't Sir", he said with a smile
"There is just one more thing Lieutenant... I want you to visit with Ensign Zoei. Understand that the intellegence officer is an important position. I want her assesment that you are psychologically suited for the position. Please report to her sometime today, she's on deck 8. Other than that, the position is yours, congratulations Lt Atwood and welcome aboard" he said standing and shaking his hand.
"Aye, Sir", said Charles
"Ok then Lt, You're dismissed"
The captain sat back in his chair as Atwood left the ready room.
