Mission: Getting Ready (Character Development)OUTPOST
Location: Captain's ready room
Timeline: Present time

While Commander Martinez came on board the Intrepid, she went to the bridge. She knows intrepid vessel types. She then goes to the bridge and chimes the captain's ready room chime.

The captain was in her ready room office when she heard the bell ringing from her office door while she was in process of moving and rearranging her items inside of her ready room, Janeway says “come in” as she was walking around with her mother’s famous legendary collection metal sliver coffee mug with her mother’s signature flavor of coffee blend.

"Hello captain. I'm your new Executive Officer. Uh did I come in at a bad time captain." She asked.

Captain said “nice meeting you “ it’s not really a bad time for you to stop by visit me and I was just trying to get some unpacking my things out of the small shipping freight containers that’s where my personal items were stored to be delivered and stored for me to unload and rearranging my items for my ready room and the personal living quarters.

"Yes ma'am. Anyways. How are you?" She asked.

Janeway had shrugged her shoulders as she was trying to answer her first officer’s question, which also will be somebody else who being brought onto my ship it’s a long four-legged friend of mine who has been with me since my my service to the federation and he has been on the old ship that I was last serviced. his name is Augustus. Hopefully you’re not afraid or allergic dogs or fur because he’s a Belgian and German shepherd mixed breed as captain was occupied with on packing her favorite concealed Federation personal defense blowback, semi automatic M13 pistol with two magazines clips she’s still continuing assembled the concealed hidden apartment attached in her desk drawer in a emergency or surprise encounter unknown alien Military tries to steal her vessel and endanger lives of her own ships crews. “ I just can’t stop becoming Starfleet marine soldier and being a captain of a star ship vessel at the same time that my foster mother has taken care of me since I was a child of 5 years old when she met me as a stowaway inside the ship’s hull that was the trash compactor and scrap metal recycling unit arena. Pardon me if I’m rambling too much with my words?”

"No ma'am. It's okay. You're just being you." She said.

Oh,i being myself do you care to explain?

"Captain. It means you know what your doing okay. That's all." She said.

“ captain said, also, would you mind notifying me when my mother is to return from her resupply mission with Voyager cause she supposed to be meetup with my head superior boss sometime today at 0400 hours .” I’m gonna say that I’ve been acting this way ever since I had a poisoning attempt on my life in my service career on the last ship, I was on as a marine, commanding officer. That’s a long story.” I will tell you when I have time although it has changed the way I’ve been acting lately although the app lol hasn’t checked that out yet in my service profile. As far as me not being qualified as captain of the ship, although I damn well I am. I know how to train the marines officers if we get any, don’t want them shooting themselves by accident or not figuring how to use a live ammunition or rifle.

"Yes captain I'll do so ma'am." Martinez said.

“ One other thing Martinez make sure you see to that that my dog Augustus makes it here to my ship on time. My mother is supposed to meet me today she’s only gonna be there for three days.” I would like to have him on schedule my dog take good care of him he may be an imitating dog, but he’ll be a good breed for the ship.”

"Yes ma'am." She said.

Captain looked like she was completely exhausted from from all the weeks ordeal mentally and physically, she wasn’t like herself ever since her near fatal illness and had to be put down the knife to be surgically treated and removed from bodily poisons from her body ass there was poisoning intensely spread throughout our stomach, like the blood vessels and muscles to heart and and she’s having experienced a lot of trouble with concentrating due to racing thoughts.

"Captain I'll handle all the operations for now. Why don't you go and get some sleep." She said. Even though her captain just wasn’t sure what could be happening inside her captain’s head.

Emily just said “ I have just received some news from the visit from my mother this afternoon about her recent decision to retire in the next month after she figures out the sector, which includes myself starting to worry about how willing she going remain in contract with her own daughter that’s me.” She may not have given birth to me but she’s definitely relief doesn’t know the bonding between mother and daughter. It’s important since well I was orphan I was just a stowaway, but it does seem like she was really happy with being a foster parent me either. Emily started to go through some of her items that she had needed for her quarters for the nighttime “ I don’t know if I have my door key do I have everything set up? Do I know the number of my quarters is” “ is mine located besides yours just like back on board with Voyager?

"Yes captain it is." She said

“ That’s Good to Know what dock is it located.” I just was still sitting here thinking about what my mother was saying about her recent news that she was going to retire from star fleet after the full circle fleet job was completed.

"It's on deck two"

“ I thought that deck two was mass hall and my quarters is on 3”. But do you understand what I was talking about my mom’s seeking to be retirement from her career?”

"Yes. But if she does retirement, then who's going to take her vessel?"

“ I really don’t know what will happen to her ship if she’s going to be retiring after the full circle mission or the sector mission I don’t know the details about.”

"Well I'm sure they must think of someone to take the ship. I'm sure that Captain Logan Reese can do it.

“ And do you and I will be capable of commanding the vessel together?” Also with our cooperation of our own entire crew members for the Uss. intrepid for whatever reason or purpose of the mission that Star Fleet command’s us towards our mission’s objectives.” I just wanna make sure I don’t have any infractions our principals or anything else that would jeopardize our ability to communicate with each other’s opinions and our intentions.”

"Yes captain. But if anything. I don't want to take over as commanding Officer unless if you absolutely need me too you know that right? Well I know the intrepid is a good ship and she's under a good commanding Officer.

“Good Commander just remember that I am going to always wearing the redshirt tactical field uniform with my combat laced up black leather boots and cargo pants is now the duty uniform dress code for my ship and my military marines will wear camouflage combat battle armor for certain tactical combat environments ,” “with my career service record I do think that I am going to be a good captain and former marine commander.”

"Yes ma'am."

Emily says to her first officer as she was seated on her ready room couch motioning for her first officer to take a seat beside her said “ the person who had poisoned me was never was never captured. The only thing this name was the reaper, it was the only name that was in the Calling card and that poison wine was known as “the grim bite “ Emily waited for Martinez to speak

"Captain. With all due respect. There is no such thing as the grim reaper." She said.

Captain said that’s what wine concoction grim reaper’s kiss have you heard of the angel of death the one that meets us during our time after the one we have meet before our time is up?” Because I was close to death before my friend or boyfriend was able to answer the emergency alarm single from the hotel at the hotel, called the black unicorn on the Starbase station it was nice business establishment. I don’t remember much, although they’ve never found the person.” Person must have smuggled a drink, treated as a complementary beverage, celebration kind of thing whatever it must’ve put it into my luggage or have the front desk attendant deliver it to the room that I was reserved at because I was on the ice on my hockey game with my teammates for the regional Starfleet academy playoff we end up winning by the way big trophy silver.

"No"

“very well then that’s understandable since the fact that we don’t have a full capacity of crew to fill all the ships departments that we need including a a counselor you don’t need to read the medical file from Starfleet’s medical records prior to me becoming a commanding officer of the starship unless you wish to”.

"I might captain. But not right now. You need to get yourself ready for more crew members. The Halo is already out on her mission. We need to be prepared." She explained and suggested.

“ I will try to…I haven’t unpacked the office yet and and the halo is still on its own mission?”

"Yes she is. Now let me finish the unpacking for you and you go rest up." She said.

“ by all means do so please just do not touch my semi-automatic phaser pistol, and it’s ammunition, underneath my desk hidden compartment, I’ve already put that in there , do please carefully treat it as if it’s loaded with live ammunition not power cells. It’s my latest invention from my old ship. I’m gonna go get some rest I’m the one who designed it all the weapons from this era since my old ship I served on I did those in my spare time since we didn’t have a master at arms.”
