Following his placement on the challenger, Boris found himself swamped by various emotions. He’d never been on a starship before, and he found things almost overwhelming. Fear, exhilaration, and determination summed up his state of emotions as he stepped off the transporter. Feeling briefly dizzy, he leaned against a wall, attempting to regain his bearings. He had never been good with transporters, though he hoped he would not experience transports often.

Once the feeling passed, he made his way to sickbay to undergo a mandatory medical examination, using the wall panels to find his way. While he became lost a few times, he did not wish to bother anyone for directions, and so relied on the computer for directions. Upon walking through the doors, he had tapped on his com-badge, adjusting his hat a bit.

“A-ahem. Medical? This is Cadet Levitsky, r-reporting for a checkup.” He spoke, stuttering slightly. He was quite nervous, though he spent some time taking some deep breaths, attempting to calm his wits. His normally bright blue eyes were more of a duller blue, perhaps reflecting his mood, or maybe in response to the synthetic light of the starship. As he waited, he gently rubbed his birthmark, a jagged crescent on his right cheek, under his right eye.

A kind looking woman with sandy blonde hair and black eyes approached. She was followed by an all white husky wearing a vest. “Hello Cadet. I’m Lt. Rox. Why don’t you come with me, and we’ll get started. Cadet Neddleberg will be doing your onboarding today.”

He stood at attention and saluted Rox. Perhaps he acted too formal, however he wished to leave a strong first impression. He let out a slow, drawn out breath, his nerves slowly relaxing. He didn’t make eye contact with her, but instead decided to look at the husky following her. “A-affirmative. It is pleasure to meet you, Rox.” He spoke, his voice quiet.

While he initially considered giving the pooch a pat on the head, he determined it wouldn’t be a good idea to bother what was presumably a service dog while it was on duty.
“Lovely d-dog, by the way. It h-has quite beautiful coat.” He commented, making eye contact with the doctor for a short time, before his eyes wandered throughout the room. “You… M-must forgive me, it is first day. Things quite… Overwhelming.” He chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of his neck.

“Shall we proceed?” He replied simply, shifting weight from one foot, and then the other, and back to the first, as though anxious to begin.
