Subject:		Arrival of Lt. Cmdr Mortimer

<Max Mortimer, Shuttle Bay>

Lt. Cmdr Max Mortimer steps onto the deck of the Lafayette, two holdalls full of his worldly possessions.

"Computer, show me the shortest route to my quarters"

A green arrow appears on the wall. Mortimer turns and walks in the indicated direction, as another arrow appears a few feet ahead.

He quickly finds his cabin, and stashes his gear. "Have to sort this out later."

Mortimer makes his way to the nearest turbolift. "Officer's Lounge"

The lift arrives, and he steps into a room full of strange faces, just as a message over the intercom system interrupts his train of thought.

"This is 1st Officer Storm Captain.  I need you on the bridge."

Hmm.  Maybe something's happening.  Although I'm not rostered on yet, as operation's manager I'm in charge of resources, so I'll just change the rosters and introduce myself.

"Computer, this is Lt. Cmdr Mortimer, roster me on at the Ops station, effective immediately"

Mortimer turns and re-enters the turbolift. "Bridge"

He steps out onto the bridge, and sees a Lt. Commander in the captains chair. This must be Bolan Storm, the first officer.

"Lieutenant Commander Maxwell Mortimer reporting for duty, sir.  I'm your new Operations Manager"
