@Commander_Zemas , what exactly does a Robotics Artificer do, and who do you report to?

Also, @ShadowX4life , as Tactical Officer (or is it Chief Tactical Officer?) are you in charge of ship weapons and shields, or is that the Security Chief's responsibility, @Cinciri ?

For the rest, are these the general departments, @BraveSirRobin ? Sorry, just trying to understand the command structure.

Engineering
Chief Engineer Namora Yllaen
Propulsion Engineer Julio Perez
Field Engineer Jacobus Malan

Security
Security Chief Kal Vau
Security Officer Johann von Tomlin

Medical
Chief Medical Officer Dr. C. R. McNamara, MD

As a tactical officer I would assess the mission, battlefield, situation, or intelligence  presented to me, so I assemble a strategy, tell my soldiers what should be carried, and continue to work around an evolving situation. The chief security officer, I think, is in charge of the safety of the ship. I’m more focused on danger soldiers will face outside the ship, whether be it in space or on celestial bodies. I would prefer chief tactical officer
Thank you for asking. 

@Commander_Zemas , what exactly does a Robotics Artificer do, and who do you report to?

A robot artificer's role is to manage, invent, build and maintain/repair robots/droids/AI. Aurelius basically manages any AI existing on the ship and maintains/repairs any droids that we have in service. And if necessary, Aurelius will build new robots/droids to aid us, whether it be combat or for the wellbeing of the ship.

As for what Aurelius reports to? Well, let's just say Aurelius likes to report to himself.

Tactical Officer would be control of ship weapons systems and personnel, whereas the Security Chief and the Security Officer control the two shipboard security departments, one naval and one under military command.  I'm not sure which one wants which role though, so I left that deliberately ambiguous. 

Tl;dr: Tactical is ship's weapons, security officers control two staffs, one military & one naval. 

And I'm.....here? What am I doing?

Perry can suck Malan's dick, as far as that man's concerned.

Is that.....is that a compliment or.....I dont know what that means so I'll just assume that Malan is not happy?

Correct assumption.

Does Malan intend to attack Perry?

He most definitely does, as soon as he is 99% certain he can win. That might change depending on Perry's answers.

I'm worried I'm maybe going too dark, not in keeping with a Star Trek-like story.

Think of yourself as the Star Trek Discovery character to my DS9.

Also, to anyone who likes good movie/series soundtracks, you can do a lot worse than listening to the OST for Elfen Lied.

I was assuming Security Chief is in charge of the actual security forces on board, since Kal Vau has more combat training than actual engineering experience, think of it like him having a Major in history and a minor in ballistics engineering. So I was assuming the officer would be more in control of the actual ships weapons.

Tactical is ship systems.  One of the security officers commands soldiers under Spacefleet command and the other under Wintreath Military Command.
