Doubts

Mission: Healing of Minds
Location: XO's Ready Room
Timeline: After "This is Different"

Savar sat at his desk, in his Ready Room. That being the Executive Officer's. He would not and was not willing to occupy the Captain's Ready Room. Rhenora Kaylen was still Captain of the Liberty. She had just taken some personal leave. He was confident of her return.

He would need to speak with Petty Officer Mitchell to set up a schedule in regards to receiving information and appointments. He had no doubt that Mitchell was less than thrilled with the change of command even temporary.

Then there was the crew. They were used to Rhenora's style of command and knew nothing of his. He wasn't even sure if he had a style. Time would tell on that. One thing he was sure of was he could not imitate Rhenora in style or leadership. To try would be an insult to her and the crew.

He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. He was confident but not cocky. He realized he had to prove himself to the crew he was worthy of sitting in the center seat and the best way to do that was through actions and not words. He had no doubt that the coming week or weeks were going to be a learning experience for both himself and the crew. He hoped they both survived it.
