{ON:}

Soral sat in his office looking at the note that was plastered across his screen. It was an intriguing proposition and he wondered why Starfleet had set it up. He was not one to look a gift horse in the mouth. He had just closed the personnel file when the door chimed.

"Enter when ready."

Trilian straightened his uniform. He had been so happy when he'd gotten it officially. He'd ensured that he'd had 14 of them made just to have. He counted to three the standard time frame expected and then entered the office. "Good morning sir. I am Trilian Grol, Petty Officer third class Yeoman."

He motioned for the chair. "Please have a seat. I understand you are to be shared between me and Commander Stillwater."

"Yes sir."

"Tell me about yourself."

There was a pause. "I don't understand the question. What specifically would you like to know? Do you request information on background wise, personal, or professional?"

Soral resisted the urge to rub the bridge of his nose. He pulled on his Vulcan training. "Let us start with professional."

He took a deep breath, "I attended the Administrative Assistant and Executive Assistant program at Starfleet NCO division at the London Campus and graduated with honours top three percent of the class. A failing I know, however I did retake my finals and scored top marks on the second round. I was then a Yeoman for Commander Rogers on the Gally It was a post educational placement and I gained highest recommendations from him. I then got transferred to the Tempest under Captain Enden."

"You lasted two years under Captain Enden. Not many can boast that."

"Indeed. It took me several months to organize the office."

Soral gave a nod. "I can imagine. The Captain is well known for his chaotic filing and his disjointed reports. I understand you changed all that."

"Yes sir."

Soral paused. "Alright. Please tell me what you hope to accomplish here."

Tilian paused looking at the Vulcan but not meeting his eyes. "It is my goal to be seen and not heard, to complete my tasks to both your liking and the Commander's and to ensure you both are organized and your reports are completed on time and in line with regulations. I am also here to unburden your work load and to assist with organization in anyway that I can. I am trained in scheduling and I can assist in that respect should you require it."

Soral studied the man. It did not sit well with him that Tilian seemed to be staring at his eyebrows. "Alright. Have you settled in?"

"Negative. I have not been assigned to permanent quarters yet. I shall have my assignment shortly and can then move in."

"Why do you not start there. Please move in to your quarters, get your medical and counseling done and report for work here in two days at 0600 hours."

"Yes sir." He stood.

"Dismissed."

Tilian gave a salute and headed out.

Soral sat back. A small smile formed on his lips. He pulled up the computer and made a few adjustments and placed a call to Captain Enden. He had a few questions for the good captain. Satisfied he grabbed a data PaDD and headed out. He had appointments to keep. Later he would discuss the new addition to their crew with Enden.
