Stardate 2370.02.9.1 Enterprising Encounter

[Captain Dusk Rose]

Stardate 2370.02.9.1 The U.S.S. Aotearoa is now docked at the Sol Space Station for a routine inspection and maintenance scan. I have just had the honor of announcing to an excited crew that the U.S.S. Enterprise-D is also currently docked at the Station, and Captain Jean-Luc Picard himself has offered to allow myself and several of my officers to visit the Federation's prized flagship. With my first officer Commander Abigail Rush away on a leave of absence, I have chosen Operations manager Lieutenant Commander Daniel Steinbock, Chief engineer Lieutenant Commander John Davis, Chief medical officer Alexander D'eon, Ship Counselor Lieutenant Commander John L. Warner, and our newest Science Officer, Ensign Stephen Joseph to accompany me.

Captain Pennington couldn't stop adjusting her hair, and when she could pull her hands down from her bun she was tugging at her uniform.

"Relax." D'eon said, with out turning to her.
"You're going to pull a hole in that uniform."
Alva gave her a look, but remained silent, knowing she was probably right. When she felt a bit more relaxed they finally materialized onto the transporter of the U.S.S. Enterprise she thought she might faint, or fall over, or say something stupid in front of-"

"Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the U.S.S. Enterprise." Captain Picard smiled and extended a hand.
Alva nodded and shook it as firmly as she could.
"Captain Alva Pennington of the U.S.S. Aotearoa."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, I heard about your remarkable performance in delivering the antitoxin that saved the people of Cygnus 14!"
"Oh, it was nothing compared to what I've heard about the Enterprise!"
"You flatter us. Allow me to introduce my first Officer, Commander William Riker, and Ship Counselor Deanna Troi." They nodded, and Alva nodded politely back. She could have sworn that Riker winked but she wasn't sure if she was imagining it. Odd bearded fellow he was.

"Unfortunately my first officer is away on leave, but allow me to introduce Operations manager Lieutenant Commander Daniel Steinbock, Chief engineer Lieutenant Commander John Davis, Chief medical officer Alexander D'eon, Ship Counselor Lieutenant Commander John L. Warner, and our newest Science Officer, Ensign Stephen Joseph." She beamed at her nervous crew, her own nervousness subsiding into sheer excitement and enthusiasm.

. John smiled wide, giving Deanna a look, "Why hello there." He frowned and glanced when he heard an odd wheezing noise coming from Stevey, who twitched like an electrocuted bird in shock. "Stevey, it's okay, sheesh. I thought you'd finally settled down a bit. Must be the change in scenery." John patted him on the back, but Stevey remained completely tense, his orange eyes large and glossy. "Whatever. Hello all, I feel rather honored being brought aboard! Thanks," he smiled again, but not before giving Stevey an 'are-you-kidding-me?' look.

Daniel smiled as it was his turn to greet the D crew.

"Aloha~! Capt. Picard, Counselor Troi...."

He paused as he stared at Comdr. Riker.

"Beardy..."

William raised an eyebrow.

Date stood at attention behind his commanders as the newcomers entered.

"Hello, hola, heus, bon jour, hej, ciao," Data began.

Everyone turned to give him a look.

"Mister Data," Captain Picard asked, his hands behind his back as he sighed, "what are you doing?"

"I am merely systematically greeting our new crew members by interpolating a customary greeting in every possible language to make them feel welcome."

Behind his glasses, Geordi rolled his eyes.

"Abaza, Abé, Abkhaz , Abenaki , Abron," Data continue.

"That will be enough Data," Picard said, raising an eyebrow before turning to the new crew.

"But I've only just started the A's, Sir."

"I said enough!"
