Meeting The Captain

"Sir the Hellcat is coming in. She is docking in our main shuttlebay." Ensign Gordon said from the ops station.

*Very good finally I get to meet Captain Devore and we get to get on with our mission.* MacLeod thought as the Hellcat came into the Leviathan's shuttlebay. MacLeod stood up and tucked his tunic and saw that Chief Shale was wanting to go with and see this craft that was built by one of his fellow students.

"Sir, may I accompany you ?"

Mac thought and then said. "All right. Hurry !" MacLeod grabbed a PADD and waited for Chief Shale to come over to the turbolift. Chief Shale looked at MacLeod and say signs that he was uneasy and very uncomfortable.

"At ease sir. It's only a Captain. Were you this uneasy on the Knight ?"

"I don't need your advise now, Chief."

"Very well then, Sir. Lets get to it then instead of standing in the hallway like a bunch of idiots."

MacLeod pressed a few buttons and the door slid open to the shuttlebay and showed the Hellcat and a few of the crew members were all ready stepping off her.

"Man isn't she a beauty Lieutenant, I knew Ambrose could do something like this if he put his mind to it."

"How can a ship be compared to beauty that one sees in a female or male of a race ?" MacLeod asked

"It's easy this baby will treat you good forever unlike a women who loses her beauty with age and experience." Shale said with a chuckle

Then MacLeod saw Captain Devore walking with another crew member this time dressed in a blue jumpsuit with Lieutenant Commander pips on her collar. It was assumed that was the ship's counsellor Commander Devore. Following directly behind, another crewmember wearing Lieutenant (JG) pips disembarked. Mac walked up to him and snapped to.

"Sir Lieutenant Junior Grade MacLeod. I hereby am handing over Command of the USS Leviathan-A to you by the order of Admiral McCaffee Starfleet Command." Mac began to hand the PADD to Devore.

"Lieutenant. Why don't you keep command whilst I get settled in. Then we will do this all formally." He said with a smile as he studied the 6'4" inch figure of a former enemy he had never even seen this close before, until today. He saw no tube of white going into his neck and no plasma grenades, so Devore obviously didn't see him threatening, but for some reason the gold uniform and the gold and black pip on his collar seemed not to be in place. "MacLeod. We will talk a little later, but first I want to get settled it After an hour I'll see you on the Bridge. We can talk more then." Captain Devore then saw Chief Shale and gave a smile. "Well it seems we have a chief in command colours. I haven't seen that since the war. I'll speak with you later as well Chief."

"Can't wait Captain."
