OOC:

I hope it isn’t inappropriate to try to do this check-in before I finish with my department head.

IC:

Katie stood in front of the Counselor’s office door for a full count of ten without moving. She took a deep breath and covered her face with her hands. Why did she dread this more than any of the other check-ins? She knew her stuff as well as any newb engineer so the check-in with her department head had gone about as well as she expected. She had just had a physical two months ago so she knew the check-in with the medical staff would be easy enough. How much noise could they make about a few fingers whose function was sub-optimal? But the counselor? What would he… she… it? (why hadn’t she done her research on who or what the counselor was?) be like?

The few extra moments wouldn’t gain her anything so Katie pressed the call-button.

“Cadet Katherine Hobbes to see you for a new cadet check-in”
