Posted by Cadet Joseph Rainns (Security Officer) in COS Office- Cadet Rainns Check in
With each step bringing him closer to the Chief of Security’s office. Joseph Rainns’ anxiety grew. He was a capable, efficient, and hardworking man. He knew that. He was only worried his new department head would not be able, somehow, to tell this. Rainns had big plans for his life, and he intended to see them through. Approaching the door he paused and blinked as if to mentally prepare himself for his coming encounter. Everything in his life preceding this moment was finally coming to a culmination. Joseph Rainns had one chance to make a great first impression on his commanding officer. He intended to take it. He straightened himself up and hit the chime on the door.

Nijix’s hand held the water pot over her plant. After the liquid poured from the spout onto the dried soil of her bonsai tree, she heard the chime. She let the water dampening it before she lifted it upright. Her attention turned to the door.

“Enter.” She stated before setting the pot to the side.

While the Cadet entered, her attention briefly checked the bonsai. Her eyes examined each tiny branch housing amethyst crystals. Then she trailed down to the green moss interlocking among the rocks, giving it a solid base to rest on.

She turned to face him, leaning against her desk. Her rosy white skin had a spotted pattern. It followed from her curly copper hairline down the sides of her neckline, vanishing underneath her uniform. Bright blue eyes studied her Cadet a moment before she pushed off her desk and walked around it, taking her proper seat.

“Have a seat, please.” Her arm gestured for the chair to the side of where she had stood earlier, patiently waiting.

Of all the humanoid species in the universe, Joseph Rainns was most fascinated by the Trill. Of course, there were others that were unique and had there own points of inquiry, but to Rainns, they didn’t hold a candle to the mystery which he felt surrounded Trill. For the life of Rainns, he couldn’t understand why anyone would want to have a slug put in their body which then took influence over that person’s cognitive control and abilities. A few years prior he had even written an academic paper which compared the Trill and Borg psychology. The most bizarre part to Rainns was that he seemed alone in his slight discomfort with the concept of a Trill.

All of those thoughts and memories passed through his head as soon as he saw the spots. Rainns felt like an idiot for not checking the bio of his own commanding officer before arriving on board Challenger.

“Thank you Sir,” Rainns responded to Tavium’s request and quickly took a seat.
