After leaving sickbay, Taya headed off to the counselor’s office. Dreading what she knew was coming, her feet felt like they were getting heavier with each step she took. Reaching her destination, she set her travel bag on the floor and quietly sat in a chair, hoping no one would notice her. One could dream.

Cadet Taya Lenwa - Security.

A young Officer, maybe slightly taller than Taya came in shortly after through the same door that she had used, and looked up noting her sitting in the waiting room. “Hi there!” the man said with a cheerful expression. He was thin with short blond hair, and sported a van dyke beard that was of a slightly darker shade than his hair.

“I’m Counselor Klein, I don’t see an appointment on the list so you must be a new Cadet here for your boarding check-in?” The way he spoke made it sound like it wasn’t really a question, which it wasn’t. “Come through and take a seat, Cadet. Lets get you sorted.”

Opening the door to the Counselors Office, he stood back with a smile to let her enter first.

OOC: Hi Allen! Seeing as we are currently short a Ships Counselor, I’ll be filling in with an NE (Nameless Ensign, or temporary character) for you. Nice to meet you on the ship! I’m looking forward to getting to know your character.

While traveling to the Challenger, Taya had learned who the senior staff was, but the man that joined her in the waiting room, wasn’t on that list. No matter. If it was a junior member of the staff, a counselor was a counselor and an evaluation was, well, annoying.

“Yes, I’m new here,” said Taya. She got up and went to the office, thanking Klein with a smile for being a gentleman and letting her in first. Taking a seat, her hands resting in her lap, she just wanted to get the eval over.

Klein followed her in and walked around the desk, indicating a replicator on the wall to the side of it.

Stopping beside the replicator, he threw her a short grin. It wasn’t unusual to see a variety of reactions from people to these sessions even though it was just an informal meet and greet. Some treated it like they had to hide everything for fear of their soul being exposed, some, exposed their soul. Others just treated it like a multi-choice questionnaire and answered all of the above to everything. “Coffee, Flat White with two sugars,” he ordered and moments later, one was in his hands as he turned to the Cadet. “First day check-ins can be taxing, at least you get to sit and have a pleasant chat now right? Thirsty?”

Pleasant chat? Taya didn’t think so. “No thanks.” Taya just wanted to get this done so she could find her quarters and get settled.
