"Captain's personal log. My first staff meeting with the senior staff went primarily well. I was hoping that Doctor Belanger would have some good news regarding getting our resident Nausicaan healthy and on his feet again. But walking again would not be an option for him. Even though there were other alternatives, but the patient refused. As much as I don't like what's about to take place due to that refusal. That is indeed his right to live or die according to the beliefs of his culture. Though that belief to me is archaic. Perhaps the medical staff will be able to persuade his greedy cousin to arrive to retrieve him."

"But on another note, the new Chief Engineer Varkl Brukh is quite the character. I don't have much experience working with Tellarites. My experience had mostly been in passing. But the work ethic from Brukh its rare among most people. What I find most interesting is that he could complain while giving an honest critique. Yet while doing an amazing job. My biggest curiosity is how the engineering department will react to his particular style of doing things. I'm not familiar enough to know what they can tolerate. But that's what this integration process is all about. Getting to know each and learning how to coexist. Building on each other's strengths."

Maddox poured himself a cup of coffee and grabbed a donut. Taking a bite of the raspberry filled donut, he smiled to himself. Eating a donut was a habit that went all the way back to his childhood. It was amazing that a smell or touch could bring up good memories.

"Then there's my first officer, Commander Saul Whitford. A lot of years of experience and Romulan War veteran like himself. In all honesty, I'm surprised that Saul doesn't have a command of his own. His record is quite impressive. It's a serious advantage to have him here. Someone bounce ideas."

Picking up a PADD, Maddox looked over the personnel roster. A particular name stood out to him. Someone he had brief contact with a day ago. Ensign Nyxala Vireen, the stations Head Nurse. "Starfleet has assigned its first Orion to Sentinel Station. Prior to arriving, she spent the last two years on reserve status. Command was wary of having an Orion in the uniform, but she has proven herself through the Academy and the last two years of duty. The Federation is interested in increasing its membership. I can't help but wonder if the council is seriously considering the Orions joining the Federation. We've been going at it with the Orions for so long, I wonder if that would even be possible. Though I can see the benefits."

Moving to the window, looking out into space. Maddox wondered about all the goals that the Federation had in mind for this station. "The goals are stabilizing the region, which is much easier said than done. Assess the worlds out there for possible Federation membership. Though I don't really foresee Nausicaa jumping at the opportunity to join."
