Mission: Vipers and Scoundrels
Location: COB's Quarters

Elijah walked through the Halls of the Victory on his way to the Mess Hall, but on route he had a house call to make.

He stopped outside the Enlisted Quarters and specifically the SNCO section. Pressing the Chime the Captain waited for a response.

Chief Marisail looked up from the desk he was reading off padds at "Enter". James stood up and looked towards the door

Elijah entered the Room and looked towards the desk. "Got a minute or two COB?" Elijah asked looking towards the Senior Chief.

James looked to the Captain "Call me James, and yeah i have a few. What can i do for you Captain?"

The Captain nodded and approached him. "Well considering Master Chief Dunbar retired following our last Mission, I thought it would be a good idea to check in with his new replacement."

James perked a brow slightly "You know i thought it was strange, that i was transferred here while you were still at DS5." He said with a smirk slightly "Sorry i have a strange sense of humor at times" James looked down "So i guess ill be changing uniforms?" He was wearing the gold for security at the moment

"I don't think there is a regulation that says the COB has to wear Red is there?" Elijah chuckled to the Enlisted Man. "Dunbar was a good NCO, tough as nails but she was worth her weight in gold." The Captain handed him a PADD. "if you're up to the job it's yours."

"I have been known to flip uniforms between the gold for security and silver for intelligence, but yeah I would be honored to take the job. I hope I can live up to her shoe size she is leaving behind." James said "I do need to ask, What is your outlook on having a drink every now and again on the ship?" James perked a brow slightly, As he has a bottle of 20 year old scotch in his desk.

"As long as you don't do it on Duty, I have no problem." Elijah said thinking back to the Party he missed for Bertrands Promotion and their unwinding following the Dominion business. "Our Bartender operates Nelsons Column on the Crew Lounge Deck."

James nodded slightly, then set the padd down on his desk and then reached into his desk and pulled out a bottle "Im kinda a snob at times when it comes to what i drink" Smiling slightly "I used to drink a glass with my late wife as we talked shop, she would bounce off me and i would give her ideas how to get around it or fix the issue" His late wife was the CO on a waypoint station in the Beta Quadrant "I used to do my best thinking with a glass in my hand" He said with a slight laugh

The Captain chuckled. "Well that is handy to know."

"Is there anything else I can do for you Captain?" James said

The Captain shook his head. "I think that will be all Chief."

With that said the Captain left and the two men carried on with their respective activities.
