>>6239241“Now,” Nwaigbo sighed, his voice approaching exhaustion, “We can finally get to the point of this meeting. Starfleet has approved the crew complement for the Stalwart. A retrofitted Defiant-class, I take it you are familiar with the vessel type?”
“I am,” You confirmed.
“Good. Some of the military and tactical systems have been stripped, replaced with scientific quarters and research bays. While it may be a gunboat, our primary mission remains exploratory. Crew quarters and amenities remain limited, there is no holodeck, nor will you have a private bunk. Whilst the captain may be afforded that luxury, it was not extended to even Trolliff, nor the rest of the senior staff. The Stalwart is a good ship, but she is not the Enterprise nor the Titan, the softness afforded to the flagship or her ilk will not serve us well in the Gamma Quadrant.”
“Our <span class="mu-i">allied attaché</span> also has their own private quarters,” the first officer interjected, but it was a minimal insertion, as if solely to bring you up to speed. The captain paid no mind to it.
Nwaigbo tapped his fingers absentmindedly as he continued to list off the minimal changes to the warship-like nature of the Defiant class, “Some crew quarters have been replaced with lounges and the mess hall is no longer quite so utilitarian, there have been tokenistic attempts at turning the Stalwart into a vessel of peace. But she remains built for war. God willing, it shall not find us in the Gamma Quadrant, but it is still hostile territory.”
“I won’t bore you with the details of the Defiant-class, your service history indicates you understand the role required of you. Just know that your security contingent shall be less than it was during the war, I take it that won’t be a problem?”
“Never, sir,” Was your response.
“Excellent,” Nwaigbo answered, before hastily shifting to the next topic, “Now, it is time to discuss the reason we actually brought you here. The Senior Staff. Here is a list of their names. Some of the assignments have not yet been confirmed and as such, we can make minor adjustments, with your suggestion. Read their personnel files, get to know them. These men and women will be under our command for the duration of our time away from home, and I need to know any potential issues now.”
>Select one senior staff member from each type. This will be the person who fills that role on the Stalwart.>You may also designate one person to in-character be the person put forward by Gedeon. You will have a pre-existing working relationship.[2/2]
