Posted by Cadet Henry Rodier (Security Officer) in CNS’ Office - Boarding Check-in
Following the meeting with his DH, Cadet Rodier made his way to the ship’s counselor, asking another crew member for directions on the way. His deep respect for the formalities of Starfleet meant that he was almost excited for the coming counselor and medical evaluations, but at the same time, he was a bit anxious to get into the real meat of what his job on the Challenger would entail. Despite this, he knew that the best thing, both for him and for what would be his crew, was to be completely candid; and so, with this in mind, Henry arrived at the counselor’s office, rung the doorbell, and waited.

“Come in!” sounded through the door panel, and the door hissed open, revealing a large sitting area, mostly occupied by an L-shaped sectional sofa upholstered in light blue. The carpeting was a softer shade of blue, offset by a darker blue on the wall behind the sofa. Directly over the couch was a painting of a couple dancing barefoot on a wet beach - the man in a tuxedo, the woman in a red evening gown - while a butler and a maid stood nearby with umbrellas, clutching their headgear against what appeared to be a blustery day. To one side was a small desk, currently unoccupied.

“Cadet Henry, welcome!” called a female voice from beside the sofa, where Lieutenant Commander Vanessa Lofton stood, watering a white daisy in a red vase, the same shade as the dress in the painting. “I’m Counselor Lofton. Was just finishing up with this,” she said, tilting the can back to slow and then stop the flow of water. She walked across the room toward the desk, gesturing with her free hand. “Please have a seat.”

She placed the can on the corner of her desk then reached up and pulled a wooden skewer from her bun, allowing her black hair to cascade past her shoulders, then wound it again and replaced the stick as she approached the replicator near the desk. She turned back to Henry, smiling brightly. “Would you like something to drink?”
