Mika sat at one of the tables, with a tray of food. She had definitely settled in to ship life since coming aboard, and she was certainly enjoying it so far. And the other cadets seemed nice, though she did not know them all that well yet. She had enjoyed meeting the crew, and so far she felt she was fitting in well. Or, at least, she hoped she was. She thought about her job, as a doctor, and how even after a while, she hadn’t yet gotten bored of the mundane stuff. She figured, this must be what it was like, when people said, “You never work a day in your life if you enjoy what you do.” Apt, she thought, when you found the right path for you.

It was upon this that she reflected while she sat, drifting off into her own world, her food hardly touched.
