Mission: Obsidian
Location: Marine Garrison

To those who had served together on Ghost, the distinct bluish reptilian figure of the only Jem Hadar in Starfleet was a familiar sight, to those who were seeing Okan for the first time it was perhaps a shock to see him, but here he was, Charlotte's trusted support pillar. He'd followed her around on the Yi Sun-Sin between Ghost and this base, but now he was concerning himself with a list of things that he'd been left to do. First stop had been the armoury and it was woeful, not a phaser, blade, grenade or anything really in stock. It was probably therefore a good thing that aside from himself, Joel and Charlotte there wasn't another marine assigned to the base yet, skill set being a thing it was important to know variables prior to getting personnel especially in one of the more specialist departments. He wasn't that surprised at the state of the garrison itself, it wasn't ready at all, in truth that was also irrelevant and he wouldn't be surprised if Charlotte had put it on the low priority list behind more critical areas of the station. Walking through the garrison back to the main section of it he put his hands on his hips as he looked around, the carpet was a nice touch but everything else needed plenty of work. Making a note on a PADD about the final layout of the area he added a few recommendations about weaponry and equipment supplies, this was not going to be an easy job but nothing had been easy for years, which was surprising but such was the way of Romulan pride. Okan half smiled, he could already see that the biggest challenge was going to be training, getting people up to spec, some were up to scratch but most weren't and that was going to have to be addressed. There wasn't much he could at the moment but once the relevant decisions had been made he'd get to work getting the barracks ship shape and bristol fashion, until then he'd put his mind to programming the training simulations into the holodeck.
