Mission: Azimuth Horizon: Crusade - Chapter 3: Preparations
Location: SB10

With Fleet Captain Samji's dismissal of the room Jureth immediately stood and made a beeline for Commander Rachele Rivers. Even though his plans for the mission were foremost on his mind he needed to find out the condition of Kalten Siduri. Whether it was true or not Oseno felt responsible for his CO's injury. He approached the striking red haired officer quickly so as not to detain her if she had other business to attend to.

"Commander, I wanted to inquire about Captain Siduri's status...how is he?"

The acting-Captain of the Alsea reluctantly turned to Oseno. She had been beelining as well – but out of the room. Ever since Lieutenant Commander Lire had met her eyes, ...no ever since she had flinched away from them, she had been brooding, silent. She had been glad to get away from the room, and felt just a bit peeved when Oseno caught her. She ran a set of fingers over her ear, tucking back imaginary stray strands of hair before steeling herself to look towards another of her officers' eyes.

“I was just about to find that out myself,” she found herself saying, internally realizing that was indeed her plan. Acting-Captain. She wanted out of that role as soon as possible, and inwardly cursed a thought tangent that had her Captain in an unrecoverable coma. No, Captain Siduri would be okay, struggling with the doctors of Starbase 10 to let him out early so he could join the tail end of that Captains' meeting she decided she was not meant to join. And then she would be free. Able to take the time she needed to get used to the First Officer role, used to Command before she sat in that dreaded Chair.

At a loss for something else to tell the current acting-First Officer, whether he knew it or not, she said, “Wanna come with?” With a half-hearted smile, she added by way of explanation, “Visual confirmation on whether we have to be Acting-Captain and Acting-First Officer, or get to do our jobs.”

Oseno tried to read Commander Rivers as she spoke and he got the impression she was not optimistic about Captain Siduri's recovery. Still perhaps seeing the captain would give him his own type of solace.

"I'd be happy to accompany you Sir." Oseno finally replied "Then, regardless of what roles we're in it would seem we have work to do."
