Mission: Zero Week
Location: The Lounge - USS Hammersley
Timeline: Mission Day 5, 1300 Hours

Lt Commander Plataea Yamaguchi approached her destination as a smile appeared on
her lips which didn't quite get up to er eyes as she remembered her children that she
missed and who's company she would not be seeing again any time soon, especially
the twins who were really too young to be parted from their mother. However she
kept all of this to herself as the doors parted before her.

Yamaguchi was wearing her standard uniform but she was wearing an overcoat which
she had not yet taken off after arriving.

She took in the scene at a glance as she turned and went over to the replicator, before
someone bumped into her. "Sorry." the younger male officer replied as he thought to
himself. 'Holy shit, she's bigger than me!, and she's hot too!'.

Plataea held her tongue a moment as she regarded him. "Easy Ensign... You might want
to stand easy before you pull something."

"But you're-"

"Yes." Yamaguchi responded as she glared darkly at him. "I am who and what I am... Please,
go get your food.."

Janet had been standing there keeping to herself as she observed the whole ordeal. After a
little while, she moved in a bit, advancing on them and butting in. "Well, that remains to be
seen" interjected Janet with a pleasant nod.

Yamaguchi slowly blinked her eyes as she stood waiting for the Ensign to move along, and
for him to stop staring at her chest. 'Men... why do they always mentaly strip me...' she
thought to herself. "Ensign... Please?"

"Oh.. Um... right yes." and with that he turned and moved off as Yamaguchi remained motionless.
"Some peoples children." she said more to herself then to the other woman who had just
showed up.

The Xenexian smirked. "Different cultures have different views" she said broadly. "Were this
a Ferengi ship you and I would not be here" added Janet. "On Angel I, he would practically
be our slave...as if he is not already" she jested.

Plataea smiled at the other woman who was much shorter then she herself was. "No he's
one of mine." she sighed gently. "this little story will soon make the rounds and be changed
to suit the needs of whoever is telling the story." she shook her head. "Plataea Yamaguchi..
Your new Chief of Security and Tactical on this ship." as she offered her hand to what she
assumed was a human woman in the human custom.

"Janet" replied the woman who had served long enough with humans to understand the
gesture. She shook the other woman's hand. "Lieutenant Commander Janet Glyndar to
be more precise. But You can just call me Janet" she added. "I'm the Chief Strategic
Assessment Officer as well as the ship's Second Officer" she added simply.

Plataea looked down at the shorter woman. "Strategic Assessment Officer.... I've never
heard of that position before." the taller woman admitted, a sheepish look crossing her face.

The Xenexian Lieutenant Commander shrugged. "Neither had I" she said with a small
smile flashing. "I had been a career a Chief Tactical Officer though I did briefly serve
as First Officer of the USS Challenger. From what I have learned, the SAC Officer has
a combination of duties often attributed to Intelligence and Strategic Operations, though
some Diplomacy is also involved" she explained as best she could.

"Well I spent my entire career as an Engineer... and now I'm being assigned as Tactical."
Yamaguchi explained. "My children would think I was nuts... My grandchildren already
think I'm insane... especially Saki. She's a little... off."

"Interesting" replied Janet as she looked at the woman. Her comm badge then went
off and she looked apologetically at the other woman. "I'm sorry, but I do have to take
this. I will see you around the starship, Commander" added Janet as she broke away
and headed to a more quiet area to answer.

Plataea nodded her head in understanding. "Of course." as she withdrew and went to
find a table so she could eat her lunch.
