Aaron grumbled as he made his way down to the counselor’s office. He always hated these meetings, it seemed like they were always trying to over analyze him, or dig up some new nugget that they would reference back down the line. But requirements were requirements, and Command had pushed through a request that he stop in as part of his new command position.

Stopping outside of Pilar’s office, he took one last deep breath before ringing the chime.

As the chime when off, Pilar immediately said, “Enter!”

When she looked up she saw it was the Captain. A pleasant surprise indeed. He had been so busy lately and she wasn’t sure if he would ever get around to paying her a visit. She smiled at the man and said, “Captain! You finally made it my lair some people might call it.”

She grabbed her PaDD off her desk and motioned to a table with two chairs that was near the window, “Please have a seat. Can I get you anything before we get started?”

Aaron chuckled to himself. “You know, I think there is some saying about being wary of any counselor who seems happy to have you in their office. But yes I did find my way down here,” Aaron said as he walks around to the offered chair.

“Oh? Really? I am not aware of such a saying. You are going to have to enlighten me. Also now I am curious to know what you think. Are you wary of a counselor who is happy to do her job?”

“And I’m good. So where do you want to start? I’m not sure what your schedule looks like for the rest of today,” he said with a laugh.

Pilar joined the Captain at the table. “My schedule has plenty of time to accommodate our session. We can start with how you are transitioning into your new role. I know this is not 100% new for you as you have been in a command position as an XO for some time, but actually taking the Captain’s seat, how does that feel?

OOC: I’m not sure how I missed this one!

“Jumping right into the deep end I see,” Aaron said as he shifted in his seat, getting more comfortable. “Honestly, it’s a bit weird. I was not exactly expecting the promotion, especially with so much turnover in the Captain’s seat right before it came my way. It seemed more likely that they were going to bring in a senior officer to help resettle the Challenger, to bring some stability back to the ship.

“Well, Captain I get the impression that you are right to the point kind of guy,” she said with a smile. She stood and walked over to the replicator to get a cup of coffee and then asked, “Can I get you anything?”

“Well I guessed right, they were looking for some stability. I just didn’t guess that there plan involved looking within the ship. I was actually kind of looking forward to another assignment back at the Academy so I could wrap up my current line of research.”

“So the promotion took you by surprise then?” she asked with an interested inquisitive look.

“Forgive me if I am misunderstanding you, sir, but to me, it seems that you did not really want or were you expecting the promotion. It was offered to you and so you took it. Why would you take the position when there was no initial interest in it?
