Over the years, Apple DeBaker learned to not be offended when people assumed she was a male captain. At first she minded somewhat, but who she was now could care less or at least poke some fun about it. Chuckling when the male, Ryker, swallowed hard and instantly begged for forgiveness. 

His reaction caused her to wave her hand in a sense of saying, it doesn’t actually matter, but she seemed to keep that warm smile on her face. A captain that still had positivity written over her; that’s how most could tell a captain was young, inexperienced, or both. 

“[color=00746b]You’re completely fine. I could care less about what you refer to me as, though I do prefer my name or title Captain.[/color]” She added her preferences, but she has been called so many different things over the years that a pronoun wasn’t going to hurt. 

Raising a brow when the individual stated they were reporting for duty, she leaned on her hip, “[color=00746b]What duty are you reporting for? Are you asking to come aboard as crew?[/color]” Apple questioned while staring right into the man’s eyes. She was trying to figure him out, he seemed to be sometype of trained individual or at least thought he was. 
Saluting and switching attitude right away when it came to who was in charge and everything, Ryker was appearing military to the young captain.
