A\N: This is after Season 7, instead of the books (with a couple of changes)…
Julian stood in the middle of Sick Bay, sorting some test tubes into glass containers.
His combadge beeped, "Dax to Bashir,"
"Bashir here. What is it, Ezri?"
"Oh, Julian, Admiral Necheyev is here, and she wants all senior staff to Capt-uh, to the Ready Room."
"Alright, I'm on my way."
"Thanks, Julian. Dax out."
Julian stuck the unsorted test tubes into a large container, and headed out of Sick Bay.
As he walked, he met Nog, also on his way to the meeting.
"Hi, Nog."
"Hello, Sir."
"So, what do you expect this meeting is for?"
"Probably to tell us who our new captain is."
"Oh. Yeah." Julian fell silent.
"As you all probably know," Admiral Necheyev began, "the post of Captain, here on Deep Space Nine, is very desired now. My apologies for how long it took to find all your new officers."
Admiral Necheyev paused, and she went to the door of the Ready Room. She motioned to a whole group of people standing outside, and they entered.
"These," She said smiling, and motioning towards the group, "are the new officers I have stationed on DS9."
She motioned to a pretty, young human who stood near the back of the room. The woman stepped forward bashfully.
"This is Lieutenant Sarah Gretnar. She'll be Science Officer."
The Admiral nodded to a short, blue guy. He wasn't a species any of them had ever seen before.
"This is Lieutenant Commander H'Shwik. He'll be Chief of Operations."
The man nodded towards everyone. Then, Admiral Necheyev indicated a tall, young man. He was very handsome, with shoulder-length brown hair. He grinned at the senior staff.
"This is Captain Jonathon Goldsman. He shall be the new Captain of Deep Space Nine. Now, will everyone from the original group please introduce yourselves?"
Ezri stood up and smiled. "Hi, I'm Ezri Dax. I'm Counselor. It's nice to meet all of you." She smiled at everyone, particularly the Captain.
Julian glanced at Ezri, a bit questioningly, and he crossed around the table to shake the hands of the new officers. "Julian Bashir, Doctor."
Kira stood, but ignored the new officers. "Admiral, what about Chief of Security?"
Ezri and Julian looked up at the Admiral, a mixture of curiosity and embarrassment on their faces.
"Ah, I have not been completely successful in my search. I have three possibilities. I would like you three to choose someone from the list, whom you think will fit in nicely with you."
The Admiral handed Kira a padd, and the three crowded around it, looking at the list curiously.
There were three names on the list:
Pril Lakar
Giyla Tranee
Michael Eddington
