Captain Caspius
Starbase Commander, Deep Space 13
You will have received the list of appointments to chief officer positions on the base. At your earliest convenience we should sit down to discuss departmental organisation, resource priority, and any thoughts you have related to your new position and authority. Perhaps you should plan to join me daily for breakfast in the wardroom as a matter of course?
Do not forget to pick up your new uniform from the requisition office. Station personnel will want to see you turned out in the red of Command.

Captain Caspius
Starbase Commander, Deep Space 13
I appreciate the confidence you're showing in me. I'll be visiting the quartermaster first thing, and then I'll report to your office. I've already started reading over the dossiers of the department heads I haven't worked with, so I should be all caught up by the time we meet.
//SIGNED//
Commander James Kermit
Executive Officer, Deep Space 13
