When Jim had first been assigned his temporary office the halls had been quiet, everyone speaking in hushed voices when they spoke at all, still reeling from the loss of so many people. In the weeks since, though, the fleet had begun to come alive again, and the empty offices had slowly filled in with newly-appointed or reassigned officers getting down to the business of getting ships back in space as quickly as possible. Where before there had been an eerie silence, there now was bustling activity and the constant hum of conversation as yeomen darted here and there and everyone moved forward.
For his part, Jim liked it better.
He kept his door open whenever possible, preferring that anyone who wanted to speak with him feel free to stick their head in rather than be announced. There were times for rigid protocol, or occasions when he was stuck in meetings and the door by necessity was shut, but Jim didn’t want to make himself unapproachable. Especially now, with his crew assigned and eager to get to work, and many of them due to report to him personally. He had deliberately carved out the entire afternoon today to meet with anyone who wanted to stop by.
Jim settled in behind his desk, checking his messages and wondering who he would see first.
[Open to all - feel free to have your character stop by to meet Jim, discuss their assignment, etc. ♥]
