Posted by Lieutenant Seraphina Walsh (Chief Medical Officer) in CNS Office - CMO Checking In
Sera had finished with her paperwork for the day, but knew she had one more meeting to go to before she could call it a night. Most people feared their boarding psych evaluation, but she generally found them relatively painless.

Her job was to watch over the physical well being of the crew, the CNS was meant to watch over the mental well being. In some ways, she felt it was more important than ever that she got along well, at least professionally, with the CNS onboard every ship she’d been assigned to. They were partners in that sense.

She rang the chime, hoping the Counselor was in.

“Come in!” came through the door comm panel, and the doors swished open. The room was decorated in various shades of blue; the L-shaped sectional occupying the main area was upholstered in light blue, the carpeting a complementary lighter shade of blue. The back wall was done in slashes of blue hues, and directly over the couch was a painting of a couple in formal wear - the man in a tuxedo and the woman in a red dress - dancing barefoot on a wet beach while a butler and a maid stood on either side holding umbrellas aloft and clutching their headgear to their heads. An end table sat at each end of the sectional, the leftmost one holding a red vase the same shade as the dress in the painting, filled with white daisies.

To the right was a small desk, where Vanessa was currently seated. She was twisting her black hair behind her head, and shot a smile to the doctor. “Doctor Walsh!” she called brightly. She held the hair with her left hand and lifted a wooden skewer from the desk, pinning the hair in place. She felt around it for a moment before nodding and standing to cross the room, hand extended.

“I’m so glad to meet you,” she gushed. “Lieutenant Commander Vanessa Lofton. Welcome aboard the Challenger - though I’m fairly new here myself. Would you like anything to drink?” She pointed to the replicator. “I was just about to grab a hot chocolate.”
