Posted by Cadet J. C. Swishman (Engineer) in Office: CNS - Cadet Swishman Pays A Visit…
Cadet J.C. Swishman stood before the Counselor’s office door, frowning slightly.

This was the part he was relishing the least.

While he’d managed to survive the medical exam, to gloss the cause of his major scar over, to avoid any in-depth talk about it…

There might not be much hope in avoiding it here.

J.C. sighed, hesitated, his finger a breath over the door chime.

Yes, he’d talked to counselors in the past. Yes, they’d reiterated the fact that what happened was absolutely no fault of his own. Yes, they’d tried to help him talk through the grief he still carried.

But none of that changed the fact that he failed to do the one thing he swore upon his life to do.

A faint sigh escaped J.C.’s lips, and he closed his eyes briefly.

‘Better get this over with,’ he thought to himself as he thumbed the door chime, straightening up and pulling himself back together.

“Come in,” Viveca called, looking up from her paperwork.

~Viveca Arlander~

OOC: Just as a note, I’ll be away this weekend due to a family event, so my posting may be a bit delayed, I should be back to normal come Tuesday. :)

J.C. took a breath and affixed his best smile as he stepped towards the door as it parted. He stepped into the room, stopping a respectable distance from the Commander’s work area.

“Yes, Ma’am… Cadet J.C. Swishman reporting in,” he answered as he came to attention. He almost added, ‘for brain surgery’, but… Duty and making good impressions trumped humor.

For the moment, at least.

OOC: No worries and no rush! I post how and when I can with work and family and all, so… I’m easy-going! 😁
