Alison waved off the papers, she had already perused his file when she was told he was being assigned to the Challenger anyways. “Well it’s not up to me on if you are qualified enough to be here, that’s up to some higher power,” she said with a slight chuckle. They had stopped in front of the turbolift, it only took a minute before the doors opened.

“Deck 9,” Alison said as they stepped in. “What I am here to do is make sure you are prepared for a position in the fleet, presumably in the science department since that’s what you’ve been studying, and why you were assigned to my team. For me personally, I like to try and give as full of an experience as you can get while you are here on the Challenger. You might specialize in one area, such as computers, which is perfectly fine. But you need to be aware of the other areas, and what they do. Especially if you want to move into a leadership position. Does that make sense?”

“Yes, Ma’am.” Tom replied with a mild voice and put those papers back in the bag. He felt glad to spent the past years in the Academy. Just as one of the staff members told him before he boarded the ship. We, all cadets were already well trained enough to hit the fleet. The curriculum covered everything in general from all departments. Those’re overwhelming but that’s the point. Each one of us had to have a shared understanding, a big picture of this organization. And the training continues after we’re assigned on ships.

As the turbo stopped, they stepped out.

OOC: As we go along don’t forget to trim out some of the older threads, to keep everyone from having to scroll as far. There are a lot of rules of thumb on how much to cut out. My usual rule of thumb is to go back as far as you think is appropriate for the current conversation/info you don’t really need anymore. So in this case I snipped the section where we were repairing the machine. Really it just takes some practice and you’ll get the hang of it!

“Excellent,” Alison said clapping her hands together. It wasn’t far to the doors into the crew lounge, and a only a couple of steps towards the nearest replicator.

“Turkey sandwich, side of fruit salad, glass of ice water,” she said towards the replicator before turning back to Tom. “Would you like anything?”

Lt Barr - CSO

(OOC: Alright. I’ll replace those words with a snip tag. Speaking of the sandwich, does she preferred to be called sir or ma’am? I saw most crews are using sir regardless, of the series and the search results.)

“Yes…A fish tacos and tomato juice.” In a blink of an eye, two cylinder-shaped white particles rotated in a clockwise motion appeared and formed the meal. Although Tom was familiar with this already, he was still amazed by this technology that most people took for granted.

When choosing a menu, he tried to follow the booklet from the fleet recommended nutritional intake. It’s his turn to take some vitamins, calcium, and proteins. They grabbed their food and picked a table. He waited for her to take the bite or a sip first, at least showing respect to the Cheif.

OOC: Ask and find out! haha

IC:
Alison decided it wasn’t her place to question the Cadet’s choice, but she was definitely not a fan of tomato juice. Taking her own food, she lead the way to a table. Picking up a fork, she stabbed a strawberry and took a bite.

“So tell me, what are you looking forward to the most here on the Challenger?”
