Qurrac had given another two days to the Deltan woman Marceleen; she would make good use of it; he brought her a box with a very modest Burgundy dress and head dress with some matching shoes; the entire ensemble was sewn by a seamstress. He did not understand why she had fought some tears that moistened for an unknown reason. She gave him a hug and a deep kiss that made him almost hesitate in going through the situation.
Still he had a duty to complete; the evidence he had gathered made for the concluding point; the information and physical evidence Qurrac was able to collect in the time allotted was incriminating enough to present and allow for the Legality Process to take over. Having his Satchel over his shoulder Qurrac intended to check into his Cabin aboard ship; the risk of retaliation by emotional 'Hue-Mons' made this a prudent point. Qurrac had been aiding the Star Base 50 Security Personnel in doing some official work investigating small crimes while Qurrac wait for the Majestic to arrive.
AFter saying his farewells to Marceleen he made his way to his ship; the assigned quarters to shower and change into a uniform. 'Buttle' his Holographic Manservant had pressed a uniform and put away the gear that transported over from the Cargo Section once the ship docked. It was a well worth the cost adaptation of a holographic matrix; saved Qurrac a lot of work around the quarters.
Heading from Quarters he made his way to the bridge; a PADD in hand so to meet the Executive Officer of the ship per regulations; he was not a chief of Command STaff so requesting permission to be accepted under his transfer orders was a proper thing to do prior to reporting to both Medical and submitting the COunselor of the Station's clearances for Qurrac to assume his duty station.
He saw the XO on the bridge and made his way over.
"Chief Warrant Officer Qurrac reporting for Duty as your New Investigations Officer Sir." He presented the orders for inspection.
"Ah, master Ferengi, welcome to the Majestic," Hanover turned his attention towards the newcomer on the bridge. He took the transfer orders and read them over, suppressing the rush of realization that he was actually performing the duties of an executive officer aboard a starship.
"An impressive record to be sure, we are lucky to have you join us. Commodore Miller speaks highly of you," Jared commented, scrolling through a recommendation letter attached to Qurrac's personnel file. "Tell me about your time on the USS Bonneville."
"As Hue-mons say; 'it was never boring', the ship was at the top of her patrol for Pirates." Qurrac began. "Much damage and retocking with refits , always a push to put her back into the fight you might say." He shrugged. "I believe Commodore Miller was very kind as I interact with him only on a limited basis." He met the Commander's gaze. "To save you the 'Long version' , let it be said that it was a ship where I spent more time with the members of Security in actions as well as the Investigations above any vessel I have served upon. The constant action to keep the shipping lanes clear allowed me to get to know the people I worked with better, a sense of Comrade as I was not held to my reputation like previous commands. The Commodore was very kind in his Comments as he truly had the Hue-mon RUle 987 'Open Door policy' about anyone coming to his office without fear of repercussions. It was a fine time in my career sir." It was a short time since the Transfer and his investigation evidence would take time to process; Thus, the Case open and not to be spoken in depth of for security reasons prior to the end of 'Flag' review on the Bonneville.
Hanover listened intently to the story he was being told, giving the young Ferengi time to finish before returning his attention to the transfer orders and returning Qurrac's PADD to him.
"Well chief, as I said, we are fortunate to have you joining us. I'm sure Lieutenant Commander Sommers will put you in a position to succeed in your new post," the ship's executive nodded, rubbing his chin as he mulled over a few thoughts bouncing around in his mind. "You'll be pleased to know that my policy is the same as Commodore Miller's. My door is open to you any everyone else. The only way I can succeed in my role on the Majestic is to have a solid grasp of how the crew are doing. So honest feedback from experienced officers like yourself is key."
"Thank you sir." Qurrac replied. "I can promise you that any information you get from me will be concise, I do not believe in giving an answer before there is one." He nod in acknowledgement. "I also respect that policy as I have not always had it." He lean closer so only the COmmander can hear. "Please forgive that my Investigative security lock on the office I inhabit has three people access; Captain, yourself and I are the only who can enter unescorted SIr. It assures the evidence I connect is secure, I hope you do not mind Sir?"
"I do not micromanage, Qurrac," the response came quickly, but politely. "That is something you should discuss with Lieutenant Commander Sommers as he is your department head. Have you gone to see him yet?"
I have only arrived Officially and as per procedure I make myself available to the Executive Officer for the transfer. Then I will be reporting to my Department Head and scheduling the medical and other required appointments Sir." He gave a courteous bow. "I thank you for making time for my request of Transfer Sir." He made sure the formalities were done.
"The pleasure was mine, master Ferengi. Farewell, and if there's anything I can do to be of help, come back and see me."
Qurrac nod ; turned and departed the Bridge.
