With no layout of the ship to go by, and no escort for now, Picard was winding his own way through the strange living ship, learning and memorizing the hallways and doors, teaching himself where every section led, and what awaited at the end of each corridor. It was difficult work, but it gave the older captain something to do to keep himself occupied while the current command staff began the easy transition between COs.

"Certainly a remarkable ship," Picard remarked, running one hand against a wall curiously. "I've little doubt her crew is equally remarkable, if half of what Captain Bennet says is true."

"Excellent," Picard replied.

"Pardon my asking, but what is your current rank, Spock, so I don't make a fool of myself?"

He snaps to attention, "The last rank I held on a Starfleet vessel was Commander. Whilst I cannot fathom exactly how long I have been absent from the Enterprise, I can only assume that I maintain that designation."

"Well, then, Commander Spock, it is a pleasure to be meeting you again," Picard replied with a wry grin.
