Karim sighed as he finished cleaning up the bunk he had been using while on the Aquarius. He knew there would be people going over the ship and preparing it for another mission when he got back aboard the Enterprise, but it just felt right. A few moments later he walked out onto the bridge and sat behind the helm console. Entering a few commands, he opened a com channel and said "Aquarius to Enterprise, I am bringing the ship up to dock. Please confirm docking port is ready to receive." A second later he heard "The docking port is ready Captain, we will see you soon. Enterprise out." Pressing a final control, he felt the ship lift off, and begin ascending.

Karim smiled at officers who greeted him on the way back to his ready room. He knew they were being polite, but he had gotten used to the confines of the Aquarius. It had given him time to think. Now he was back in the thick of things, and it would take some time for him to adjust. Soon, he nodded to the officer sitting in the command chair to remain seated, and entered his ready room.

He groaned, and sagged against the doorframe as he looked at his desk. It had a healthy stack of pads arranged neatly in a pile on one side. He of course had been keeping up with ships business while planetside, but he knew there were routine reports he would need to approve and sign off on. Crossing to his desk he sat, and was about to reach for a padd when he saw a light blinking on his console. Touching it, he saw a message from Command, indicating that Lieutenant Jonah Wright had been reassigned. It didn't provide any reason, just that a new Chief Counselor would be forthcoming.

Shaking his head, he acknowledged the message, and reached for a padd, knowing he would need at least 3 mugs of coffee to survive the pile of reports. He knew the life of a Starfleet captain wasn't always glamorous, but wished paperwork was something he could avoid.
