====== CO's ready room, Main operations, SB
234: UNITY ======
The door chime announced someone wanting to see him and
Shane found it a bit strange that Pakosii did not send a
word WHO it was. Only then Shane remembered that Pakosii was
sitting in the Task Force area, several tenths of decks away
…
"Come in" Shane called.
A rather tall human male figure, clad in yellow Starfleet
uniform entered the room. The man was about his thirties,
brown hair, brown eyes … a bit like Shane himself. He wore
the rank of Lieutenant and once coming to a few meters
distance – snapped to attention.
"Lieutenant Mumacik reporting as ordered, Commodore"
Shane looked at the man in front of him. Mumacik was an
ordinary man, easy to pass in a crowd, nothing special about
him. The only thing that was slightly disturbing the image
of a common man, was the Lieutenant's facial expression.
Or better lack of an expression. One could truly say that
the man wore no expression and remembered to a Vulcan.
Partially it was true … Mumacik was a human, but after an
accident in early childhood, he was unable to feel any
emotions and adding pain to injury … he was raised by
Vucans. Double emotionless, Mumacik was truly a "cold
frog" or "walking computer" as he was used to be
called during his academy times.
Shane stood up, walked over to the Lieutenant and offered
his hand for a shake: "Welcome Lieutenant, It's a long
time since we met"
Mumacik shook the Commodore's hand firmly and replied in a
very calm way: "Indeed, Commodore, It's over seven
years. It was on board Starbase 742: Aurora, where you
served as Chief tactical officer under the command of
Captain McElester. I was assigned on board the USS Archer
under the command of Captain MacLaren as Assistant tactical
officer"
Shane smiled: "I forgot about your excellent memory, Mr.
Mumacik"
Mumacik said nothing to that compliment and asked directly:
"How can I be of assistance, Commodore?"
Shane raised an eyebrow and asked: "Hmm … why do you
think I need your assistance?"
Emotionless like always, Mumacik replied: "Since you send
the USS Qashqai to collect me from the USS Mediterranean
where I was on a temporal duty. Captain Iris did not protest
about me leaving her ship, so I presume she got an order
about me. Since Captain Iris is not in your chain of
command, you had to pull high command strings for such an
order to be issued and the expenses of the Special Forces
First Task Force's CO ship bringing me here are too great
for this be a social visit. I assume there is a task of some
importance that you think I can accomplish here." That all
was said in the same tone, without any trace of what Mumacik
self was thinking about the whole business.
Shane nodded, trying to hide a grin. "Indeed, Mr. Mumacik,
there is something you could help me with." Deciding not
to beat the bush (since it would be of no sense with him),
Shane went on: "I have a vacant position as Chief of Task
Force level security … here on UNITY. Your responsibility
would be the security of all TF area here on the UNITY as
well as all TF personnel. How about that?"
Mumacik shook his head: "I am not a member of Special
Forces and therefore can not assume any senior position
within the Forces. Furthermore I am not qualified for a
security position as my qualification goes only for tactical
and operations" was the plain reply.
Shane waved with his hand: "Forget about the paperwork, I
can have you in SSF sooner or later and for the time being,
I make you acting in that position. Your qualification
isn't an issue, I picked you because your other qualities.
The question here is, do you want that position, Mr.
Mumacik?"
"No, Commodore" said Mumacik plainly.
"Well, Lieutenant Mumacik, then it wont please you that
your transfer has already been approved by Starfleet
Command, will it?"
"No, Commodore" said Mumacik plainly again.
"Mumacik, you are just the perfect man for that job. We
have a lot of security guys here, but a shortage of folks
that can lead the team and take responsibility. I need an
analyst, that will judge the situation and act according it
… not just shooting heroes, with their heads full of glory
and promotions. I need someone who does all the preparations
and plans and backup plans and failure strategies."
The Lieutenant nodded: "I understand, Commodore. Its true
that my work for Starfleet Command operations was of a
similar nature, even if on an another level of activity. I
can assume my duties within an hour"
Shane was a bit surprised about the reply and sudden change
of mind. "There are no hard feelings on your side?" he
asked carefully.
Mumacik shook his head: "No, Commodore. As you say, my
transfer has been already approved and I do not have the
proper rank or authority to reverse your decision. Logic
dictates that I will have to serve here until I am
reassigned again. I have no other interests on this Star
Base, so can assume my duty now."
Shane shrugged slightly about the man. "All right then,
get in touch with my aide, Lieutenant Pakosii. He will get
you quarters and other stuff needed as well all the
paperwork. Report to me once all this is cleared"
"I will, Commodore. May I leave now?" Mumacik asked.
Shane nodded: "You're dismissed"
