Rianni left her office after meeting her new pilot. Dunham's record was spotless and he looked to have 'it' in spades, she was impressed. ~At least one part of my job is going to be a little easier.~ She thought, walking around the Promenade as she tried to sort the millions of details her new job entailed in her mind. Her feet were even more tired than her mind as she walked, so she took a seat outside of a place called Benny's, ~Wonder what that is?~

Crewman Ma'erlit stepped out of Benny's front door, she had a part time thing there, something to bring in a little extra every month. She'd only walked about three feet when she saw that Lt. Commander form earlier, sitting in front of Benny's and looking like the weight of the station had just been dropped on her, "Lt. Cdr. Monteros, hello." She said, "You look stressed."

Rianni raised her eyes to see the Bajoran woman from earlier, "Oh, Readus Interruptus, hi." She laughed.

"Yeah, sorry about that, Ma'am, but apperantly someone further up the line than both of us thought it was just super important." Ma'erlit laughed.

"Don't they always?" Rianni replied, rolling her eyes, "And, yeah, I am a little stressed out. I just came out of a coma yesterday and become wing commander today, and the wing isn't up to the level it should be for a post this size and we got an attack to fight off."

"Sounds like you have your work cut out for you, Ma'am." Ma'erlit replied, she sympathized, the whole station was going topsy turvey with panic right now.

"Yeah, I could use a little help to be sure." Rianni sighed, turning to look at Ma'erlit again, "Maybe you could help me."

"How, Ma'am?" Ma'erlit asked, "I'm not a pilot...."

"Pilots I don't need, pilots I got." Rianni answered, standing and walking around the table, "See, what I need is someone to keep all the day to day stuff organized, someone who'll make sure everything that needs to get done gets done. You know, make sure all the birds get their maintenance, make sure everything gets re-armed and refueled, and make sure we're adequately supplied. Someone to take care of the paperwork that I'm really, really bad at. Yeah, I think you just got yourself a job, Ma'erlit."

~Frack! That's going to be a huge job.~ Ma'erlit forced a fake smile on her face, "Thanks, Ma'am." She said, then the fake smile broke, "This is your way of getting back at me for interrupting your book, isn't it?"

"Of course." Rianni smirked, "Ma'erlit, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."
