A day had passed since Selar had been announced Captain of the USS Audacity, and so far only Kirk, Spock, Bones, Saok and Selik knew. She didn't plan on telling anyone else until the day of which she left edged nearer. She had just under eleven months until the day of which she would set off as no longer a Commander but a Captain of a Starship. She could say she both dreaded and anticipated the day, for it meant all of her childhood dreams came true yet she would have to leave her Bondmate, her son and her friends behind.

The Enterprise was still docked, as it would be for the next two and a half days while it was given a check by the authorities before it was cleared and nodded off for departure. Selar had been called back into Starfleet HeadQuarters for reasons she had not know yet. Silently she walked with her hands clasped behind her back, her formal uniform upon her body and her face stoical.

She slipped through the doors of the Command Department at the HQ where she headed once more for the desk that she had checked into the day before. "Name?" The woman asked rather blandly when she stepped up.

"Selar."

"Rank for confirmation."

"Co- Captain."

"Very well, Captain Selar, you are to be in room 159, in the south wing. Your party is awaiting you."

Selar assumed by party, the lady meant the Admiral. To which she was unsure. Giving a solemn nod, Selar turned quickly and headed for the South Wing of the building. She said nothing, merely acknowledging the admiralty that pass with a quick, respectful nod.

When she reached Room 159 she was mildly surprised to find a woman standing there as if awaiting the arrival of someone. When she approached her, the woman looked up and gave a soft smile.

"You must be the new Captain." She began.

"It would appear so."

"Wow."

Selar gave the woman tilt of her head, as close as she was going to get to confusion. "Sorry, I have never seen a Vulcan captain before. I am very impressed. Well," She paused looking down at her PADD. "Captain Selar, right this way."

Selar nodded following as the woman opened the door, offering the higher-ranked officer to step through first. When she stepped in she was met with a group of ten to twelve people who had once been sitting though instantly stood at the sight of her, they were standing at attention as she walked in escorted by the Woman.

Selar was handed a PADD before the woman left, leaving her in the room alone with these people of which she did not know. Glancing down at the PADD she began walking towards the center of the front of the room, for a moment she was silent before she looked up.

"At ease, Officers." She commanded, watching as they all slipped into position. At that moment an Admiral walked out, his face was kind and obviously happy. He was accompanied by what looked like an assistant though she was uncertain in the matter.

"Ah, Mr. Selar." He began, turning to the men and women who stood at ease before him. "I see you all have met the new Captain, well have heard her voice." He stated, receiving a nod from the group. "Very well, allow me to introduce this woman."

He paused for a moment, smiling at Selar. "This is Captain Selar, former Third in Command and Chief of intelligences aboard the USS Enterprise. She is one of the greatest Cadets the Academy has seen and one of the youngest to graduate. She served three years as a professor before joining the crew of the Enterprise almost five years ago. She is Twenty-Six years old, now holding the title of the youngest Captain in Starfleet history. If you haven't noticed she is indeed a Vulcan, though here at Starfleet we embrace different species in our ranks, therefore I expect you all to be fine with such." He paused, his smile widening into a grin. "Officers, you are looking at your new Captain."

Gasps shook through the room as they all stood before a tall, sleek Vulcan whom wore a vacant expression as if having no interest in the praise of her work over the past eight years. Selar didn't know how to respond to it all, she felt an odd feeling at the sound of her new rank being told. She could not explain, perhaps this was what the human called pride? A light, fluffy sensation filling her chest.

The Admiral left the room, leaving her once more with the officers. For a moment she was silent, her dark eyes scanned the room and its occupants. She assumed these people would be her bridge crew and her Chiefs. After a moment she spoke. "As you all have heard, I am Captain Selar.." She began, her eyes studying the people.

"There is often a misconception of Vulcan being emotionless, stoic beings. However, those who say such are lying. To see such capable officers stand before me at attention, ready to take on whatever shall 'come out way', are humans say, give me a sensation of pride. It is only logical to assume that our missions together will turn out adequately, though that will only be held to truth if we can work past out differences. We must be a team, for that is what a crew is, essentially. So if any of you have an objection against your new Captain, please state it now."

STSTSTS

The room was silent as the officers considered their new Captain for a moment. Selar allowed a few minuted to pass in silence. "Very well, that is done." She spoke in a monotone voice, she was hesitant over the crew for she had not a clue as to who they were. "The Admiral has amicably introduced me to you, I would find it logical that you do so to your peers, and eventually me. I have no further words that need to be heard solely by you all until the day of our departure." She nodded her head for the group to get to know each other.

Selar stood back, standing at ease with her arms clasped behind her back. She turned as a rather tall, thin man came walking her way. He had dark brown hair, light brown eyes and tan skin. His face was expressionless, as nothing graced it. He was obviously human, though seemed more focused than the ones of which she had become acquaintances with.

The man stopped when he was roughly four feet before her, a respectful bow of his head came before he even spoke. She was mildly shocked by the baritone, deep voice that he held for such a thin frame. "Captain, Ma'am."

"Sir."

He gave a look of surprise though nodding a small quirk of his lips came. "Very well, sir. I am Commander Robert Harrison, Chief of Security and assigned First Officer under your command." He gave his hand in the formal greeting of human, Selar shook her head raising an eyebrow and a wave of realization came upon Harrison.

"My apologies, sir. I had forgotten about the telepathic electricties that emanate from the touch to a Vulcan." His smile was genuine as he dipped his head once more.

"As you human so fondly say, that is of no concern, Mr. Harrison." She told him, her voice having a slight curve to it as her voice lightened as she began to understand this human by his actions. Selar was replied to with a smile, and a hearty laugh. "I do believe, Sir, that I will enjoy being under your command. Despite what they say about Vulcans being emotionless."

"I believe the correct response to that, Harrison, is 'Thank you.'"

"No, no, sir. As you Vulcans say so profoundly, it is illogical to thank me for what is to be true."

Selar merely nodded unable to say more for another man walked up between the two. His face was scowling, his eyes holding rings under them, his skin was sagging slightly with exhaustion, he reminded her of Dr. McCoy. Despite having Black hair and hazel eyes.

"Hello, Captain. I am Leonard Jameson, your new Chief Medical Officer." He lifted his hand in Ta'al, of which Selar returned with her own gesture.

"Dif-tor heh smusma, Mr. Jameson."

"Sochya eh dif, sir." Another voice intruded, it came from a rather burly man with pale white skin and bright blue eyes. She turned to him, nodding kindly in his direction.

"I am left to assume by your precision in the Vulcan language that you are indeed the Chief of Communications, Mr...?"

"Sean, sir. It is my pleasure to serve under you, it gives me the chance to sharpen my Vulcan skills." He joked lightly, his eyes amused.

"I believe that would be acceptable." She gave a dry humor to his words, of which would be unnoticeable by most.

"Maut mau ni, osi." He replied, translating to 'very much so, sir,' well closely..

"Du nam-tor ska' k' wuh zhit-shaya Mr. Sean, na' ish-veh nam-tor osu ri osi." Of which merely meant that Sir was Osu not Osi.

Sean gave a nervous laugh as the other two men eyed Selar and the English man looking utterly confused. Harrison and Jameson shrugged it off and each gave a friendly head shake in their Captain's direction.

"Y'know, it would be nice if you guys spoke english, it would be helpful to my old ears." Jameson retorted.

Selar gave him a look that was filled with hidden amusement though looked stoical to the new crew, they would learn, eventually. "Mr. Jameson, you remind me very fondly of the Enterprise's Chief Medicinal Officer."

Jameson smiled broadly at the compliment of which Selar did not initially intend. "Really? Dr. McCoy is my idol. Thank you, sir." There was a hint of mischievous nature behind his words, Selar shrugged it off, as the humans said.

STSTSTST

The woman was rather content, she had now met with her entire bridge crew some of which reminded her of her current crew aboard the Enterprise. For instance the current Navigator Lt. Alexander was exceptionally proud of her German heritage, reminding her of Chekov and his Russian one. As well as Chief Engineering Officer Craig who was Scottish just like Scotty. Of which went to prove that Scottsman were the best engineers.

Selar found herself content with the crew of which had been assigned to her, it was only the main crew however Selar felt as thought she could grow the enjoy their company. She could tell each was intelligent in their own ways and was exceptionally adept in the field of which they had chosen. She was rather fond of her First, for he held leadership qualities, generosity, kindness and an overall sense of humor that each First Officer should have.

To say the least, perhaps becoming a Captain would go far better than Selar had initially anticipated. Selar smiled to herself as she departed the men and women of her new crew. She was quite pleased, and now bode them Goodbye until they would meet again in the next ten point four months. She would indefinitely miss the Enterprise crew, though she could find home in the Audacity's.

STSTSTSTST

Selar awoke to the touch of her bondmate. She could sense three other beings were also surrounding her, by the sound of their breaths and the scents she ruled out that they were Dr. Jameson, Dr. McCoy and her father. Selar opened her eyes and propped herself onto her elbows. She was shoved back down by Jameson and McCoy both sharing the same thought.

"Oh no you don't, Captain. You may be feeling the obligation to return to the bridge, though I am not releasing you until you are at optimal healt of which you are not, sir." Jameson scowled, his brown gaze narrowing to small slits. Spock stood over her, looking healthier than before, he had a healthy green hue to his skin and his eyes looked exceedingly young.

His hand was placed upon her shoulder, keeping her down without her even realizing it. Warmth shone in his otherwise stoic eyes as he looked down upon his daughter. His lips twitched as she gave him a knowing look before he shifted his gaze to Saok whom had begun speaking.

"I am so glad to see you alive, Ashaya." He commented, bringing her hand to his mouth as he kissed it quickly. He rubbed her hand with his fingers, most likely unaware that this was almost the equivalent of a Vulcan kiss. She allowed her lips to twitch as she ran her hand down his arm when he had released it.

"As am I, Ashayam." She stated, uncaring to the eyes that watched her and Saok.

"Dr. McCoy I believe I need your assistance in the other Room." Jameson cut in, the older Doctor agreed and followed the younger one out of the room and into the next where she assumed they engaged in conversation.

When Spock and Saok had finally followed her pleas to go get some food, Selar once again propped herself up onto her elbows to gaze around the room. At the far end, leaning against the doorway was a man that had been her friend for numerous of years. Her human half shone through as she shook her head motioning him over with her hand.

"You never cease to amaze me, Sir." He stated, his mouth quirked in a small half-smile.

"I see, there is much you are unaware of Mr. Harrison, so I am right to assume I will continue to do so."

Robert laughed, shaking his head slightly before taking one of her hands into his own, minding her sensitive fingers. "Ca-Selar." His voice hushed as his eyes grew mournful. "You worried me, concerned me. You made me believe you were going to die. You were asleep for over four days," His voice trailed off as he spoke.

Selar shook her head. "I would have not died, for my body was only in a mere shocked state opposed to an injured state. Therefore, it is logical to assume I would not have died."

"Still, I did not wish you to die. You are the closest friend I have in this universe, even if your logic cannot allow you to see it. I could not lose the best Captain in Starfleet, I could never take over the Audacity. For she is your ship and yours alone, she only obeys your command." He paused for a moment a small reminiscent smile came upon his face. "The first time we met, I knew that you were different, unlike the other Captains. Yes, they all have compassion and love for their ships and their crews. But you held something else, something I seldom see. You held a deep love and understanding of the crew. You allowed yourself to be our guide and to seep past our human illogic. You logic may not allow you to see any of this that I say. But it is true like it or n ot."

He dropped her hand, placing his to her face and returning to his previous state. "I should rephrase my previous statement. I could have lost my Captain.." He paused, making Selar slightly confused. "But I could not have lost my friend, my sister. For she is irrplaceable, and truly one of the reasons I get up every morning. For this ship, this crew and for you."

STSTST

AWWWW, Harrison has a soft spot for Selar, like a little sister. How sweeeeeeet. Sorry, I just had to do it, I meant come on a gruesome looking man, even though thin, like Harrison, I had to. Sorry. XD.

I hope you have enjoyed so far, I don't have very many ideas as for memories. I'm pondering something at the moment and it involves Selik, by the way... Where did Selik go? Hmmm... :D
