While "Ress" was away, Lieutenant Melissa Wolfe, the Chief Engineering Officer, was Acting Executive officer. She was hard at work, in Engineering, going over both the engineering and the overall staff reports of operations and personnel. They have had a rocky start, but operationally the question remains, how well would the USS Ares perform far from the Axanar station.

The ship had nearly been destroyed, all repairs were finalized, and yet Melissa still worried that something may go wrong. After she finished going over the engineering reports thought that submitting the reports would only add it to her own pile, so she signed off on it as AXO.

Frowning as she reached for another P.A.D.D., she rubbed her fingers against her forehead, to read it. She had noted lately that there were a few rumors going around that there has been a change in command. However, anytime Melissa gets close to hearing any of these rumors for herself, other than a tidbit here and there, the talk stops. The young Engineer sits thinking over this for a moment before returning to the pile of P.A.D.D.s at hand.

Melissa had every confidence that, if there were a change in the command structure, she would be informed. The rumors, for all Melissa knew, were that the XO was returning to them and would be taking up his duties once more. However, rumors were not her concern, her work was. Melissa continued until the last P.A.D.D. filed away for the Captain, and she let out a weary sigh.

"Just enough time to catch a few z's before returning to duty," she said to herself, as she left Engineering and headed for her Quarters.
