Brooks heard the door chime and put down his drink, standing up behind the desk he said,
"Enter."
The door slid back to reveal Mala and she stepped into the room.
“Lieutenant Mala, reporting as ordered, sir.” Said Jez, her voice flat and neutral, she stood at rigid attention.
Captain Brooks smiled to put her at ease and said, "Please take a seat Lieutenant, this is nothing to worry about."
Once they were both seated Daniel said,
"I have been looking at your service record and where Lieutenant Commander Kurasa has moved on to other things it has made a vacancy for one of my department heads. This position isn't an easy one for anyone who accepts this as department heads are the first line in crew issues and resolving any problems or concerns. Being one of them means the person offered the role should work closely with the First Officer to keep the ship running smoothly. They are also the First Officer's eyes and ears to each department and are an integral part of the ship's operation along with being a senior advisor to myself in certain situations."
He paused to let it sink in before adding,
"Having looked at your service record I would you to be one of my department heads. I like to offer you the role as Commander Kurasa successor as Acting Chief of Security of the USS Aquila. Would you be willing to accept?"
He asked his icy blue eyes studied Mala carefully for an answer.
