CAPTAIN'S LOG
on this stardate captain william r dodgeral, acting unders orders and with the full authority of starfleet command, hereby reports for active duty aboard the uss beyond, sovereign-class, as master and commander. in the words of her mastplate, "all i require is a good ship and a strong wind."
from the briefing a i recieved prior to my coming here to earth station mckinley i am in heriting quite a ship and crew. i just hope that they are ready for their captain.
captain dodgeral hit pause on the recorder and looked out the shuttlepods forward, (and only) window and find himself holding his breath at the sight of his new command. she was one of the few sovereign-class vessels currently in service, the most famous being picard's ship the enterprise.
as the pod gracefully arced around the massive ship, dodgeral caught sight of his reflection. his slightly pointed ears and subdued ridge on the bridge of his nose pointed out to the world that he was of vulcan and bajoran decent. his mind displayed the rest, his human and betazoid abilities of imaginative response and telepathic abilities were what propeled him through his career, even with the fact that the majority of hybrid betazoids never develop full telepathic powers. he smiled at the irony that he was more gifted then most vulcans and betazoids. and lot more self-controlling, most of the time.
he had studied his crew list, hand picked for the first mission that command had already assigned the ship. in fact he was one of the last to arrive, and that was only after admiral janeway briefed him. he learned that his crew was as gifted as he was in many ways.
he just hoped that they were going to be up to the challenge.

Counselor Stacey Marsters walked down the hall of the space station. She was nervious. this was her first duty as ship's counselor. She was human which made her time harder at the academy then the impaths she had trained with.
Her long red hair fell down around her face, kept casual. She hated to be uniformed. Stacey wore a long flowing red dress that made her stand out against the sea of starfleet uniforms. As well as her black high heeled boots she wore.
Turning to the left, she entered the transporter room. Walking onto the pad and standing still, she wonder what her crew would be like, since it would take some time for them to warm up to her.
She felt a tingle as she watched the room slowly dissolve, and a new room appeared. However they all looked the same to her. The only way she knew she was in a new location was the fact that there was a different man standing behind the console.
"Welcome the the USS Beyond Counselor," The Transporter chief said.

Lieutenant Kira Calloway arrived on the Beyond, her first ever chance to step foot on a sovereign-class starship since leaving the Academy. She wanted a chance to really familiarize herself with her home for however long she was going to be on board. She had a good sense of direction and knew that when she had gone over the ship once, she could find her way back to any given point.
She was also understandably nervous about her new duties and how she she would handle the things that would come her way. 'This thing is huge,' she thought to herself while she was learning her way around. 'I know I can do this, though.'
She looked at her timepiece, 'I'd better head back,' she thought, 'The new Captain will be arriving soon.' She stopped her learning exploration and headed for the shuttle bay to be on hand when he arrived.

the captain's shuttlepod docked in the bay, and dodgeral stepped out and took a deep breath of what was now his home for the forseeable future. looking around he saw that ships counselor and a lieutenant in security gold waiting for him. however neither of them were the one officer that he needed to see right away. he frowned and stepped down to the deck.
stoping an passing ensin, the captain asked, "has commander nichols checked in yet?"
"no, sir. his shuttle hasnt arrived yet."
the frown pulled down even further. "when the commander DOES arrive please convey that i want to see him BEFORE he settles in." his tone was ice cold and acid strong.
"y-yes, sir."
dodgeral turned on his heel and approached the two women waiting for him by the bay's massive doors. "i know this is the part where you welcome me aboard, but i have to dispense with the pleasentries for another time." he turned to the counselor, "staff meeting in twenty minutes," then to the lieutenant. "i want you there as well,"

"Aye, Sir," Kira replied crisply, while saluting him, "I will be there, Sir" 'I hope I make a good impression,' she thought, 'Since I will be working under him for a while.'

Finally docking in, Commander Nichols could see that Captain Dodgeral had already arrived. "Oh, man I'm in trouble." He thought as he stepped off the shuttle.
"Good afternoon" he said to the awaiting lieutenant. "So, anything new?" He said with a sarcastic smile and tone.
"Yes, sir. the captain wants you to report immediatley, and wants a staff meeting in his ready room." He replied.
"Oh, when was this?" Cmndr. nichols asked.
"About fifteen minutes ago sir ." the lt. replied.
"Then I'd better get going." He said as he passed two women going in the same direction. "Ladies." He said as he hurried towards the captain's ready room.
"Comander Nichols reporting for duty sir. " He said as he barged in the room.

Stacey gave a nod as she watched the Captain leave. Before leaving she cought another shuttle coming in. Commander Nichols exited out of the shuttle doors looking not to happy.
"Ladies," she heard him say as he walked past them.
Leaning towards Kira she whispered, "Looks like am going to stay busy abord this ship." Before she to headed out of the bay. Making one more stop to her quarters before she headed towards the confrenece room.

Kira arrived at the Captain's ready room just before the meeting was due to start. She stood beside the door waiting for everyone else to arrive.

"ah, commander, im sooo glad you decided to join us," the captain said in mock sweetness, "normally i wouldnt mind my officers arriving at the own good time but this ship was hastyly commissioned because we already have been assigned a mission."
picking up a PADD, he began to read and talk at the same time, the false kindness evaporating like early morning fog. "your last posting was under the command of captain riffle. good man, relaxed sort of command style for what ive gathered. here well be different. you are my executive officer, you will be my go between the crew and myself. therefore i expect you to follow starfleet regulations like they were the word of god." he skimmed a few pages on the PADD before continueing, "i see you did double duty before as both xo and security chief. a ship the size of the beyond doesnt need you to do that anymore and i have someone in mind to act as our security chief," hands nichols a different PADD, then another, "this is the briefing for our mission. be ready to go over it in five minutes in the observation lounge."
dodgeral came around his desk and shoke nichols hand, "welcome aboard, now lets get to work."
he exited the ready room and nearly walked over top of the lieutenant that he meet in the shuttle bay. "lieutenant....calloway, correct?"

"Aye, Sir," Kira replied, "Lieutenant Kira Calloway." "Is there anything I can do for you, Sir?" She asked respectfully. She waited patiently for his answer .

the captain hands calloway a PADD like the one he first handed to nichols, "from your starfleet file i see you went to advance tactical training and are versed in all security measures for the sovereign-class ships." he motioned for her to walk with him to the observation lounge, "what you are holding is the mission profile for what we are about to undertake. im going to need someone who thinks outside the box, briming with new ideas to serve as ships chief of security. think you are up to the task?"

Kira read over the profile as she walked into the observation lounge with the captain, "I will certainly do my best, Sir," She replied, "Is there anything else I need to know, Sir?" She asked.

"not at this moment," the captain replied grimly, "just be prepared to make suggestions on tactics in a few moments.
he and calloway entered the obervation lounge at the same time as a few other senior staff members entered including masters and nichols. the captain sat down at the head of the long table and waited for everyone to settle into place.

"Captain." Commander Nichols said with urgency in his voice, "Is everything alright? Or should I relay this mission to the crew?"
