Meeting the boss "
By: Melissa Jarvis, Chief Security Officer, [RNPC]
Samantha Carter, Security Officer, [RNPC]

Stardate: 58204.19 1030

After her meeting with Commander Wright Sam decided to take the bull by the horns and report to Lieutenant Jarvis.

She sighed, hopefully this was going to be a smooth meeting. Sam realized that Lieutenant Jarvis would probably be not happy to see her. But Sam was confident that they could work out their differences and at least maintain a good working relationship.

"Computer locate Lieutenant Jarvis", she asked. Lieutenant Jarvis is in her office, the reply came back.

Sam took the turbo lift and headed to the Security Office. She took some deep breaths before hitting the door chime.

Melissa was clearing several old security logs from the system when the door chime rang. She looked out the window of her office and could see Sam Carter standing there. She had earlier received a message from the Commander telling her about the department transfer and the reason why. Melissa was not at all looking forward to having Sam working in security but she supposed she would have to deal with her sooner or later. "Enter."

"Good morning Lieutenant Jarvis", Sam said. "Lieutenant JG Samantha Carter reporting for duty Ma'am." Sam placed the PADD on Melissa's desk took a step back and stood straight to attention.

Melissa took the PADD and skimmed through it. "At ease Lieutenant, please have a seat." Melissa gestured to the chair in front of her desk.

Sam turned around and took a seat at the chair Melissa pointed at.

Melissa did not say anything. She looked at Sam, their eyes making contact. She quietly probed her feelings for the woman who had stolen Atwood's heart. The last few days had been a rollercoaster ride and she had not had the time to give her much thought. She briefly considered assigning her to gamma shift armory duty but decided that was more out of spite. Carter's experience and qualifications earned her better than that. Reluctantly, she decided. "Welcome to Security Lieutenant Carter." Melissa put on her friendliest smile. "You are assigned to Alpha shift. You are to stand guard on the bridge and you will back me up at the bridge security station when I have other matters to attend to."

Sam looked back at Melissa. She was glad she did not mention anything about Atwood. "I understand Ma'am, thank you."

"Permission to resume my new duty, Ma'am?, Sam asked. Alpha shift meaning duty from 0800-1600hrs, not bad Sam thought. That would leave her enough time to catch up on some new encryption/decryption procedures.

"This bridge position has been covered until 58204.22. You will start then." Melissa paused. "However, you might have noticed all of the prisoners we have." She gestured out towards the brig. I could use some help interviewing them."

Sam nodded.

"Those who are requesting to defect are being left at the station. Only the loyal or dangerous Federation and cardassian prisoners are being sent to Rura Pente. It is our job to sort them all out."

"Yes Ma'am, Sam responded. I will be glad to assist you in this matter."

"Wonderful." Melissa was pleased to have the extra help. She downloaded the prisoners left to be interviewed into a PADD and handed it to her. "Here is a list of prisoners that need interviews. Please be careful, some of them are very accomplished at telling lies. If you think for one second that they are lying to you send them to Rura Pente." Melissa looked at Sam. "Any questions?"

"No Ma'am", Sam responded while looking at the list of names.

"Carry on Lieutenant," said Melissa.
