Posted by Cadet Kyle Anders (Security Officer) in DH’s Office - Cadet Kyle Anders reporting for duty.
As the light blue hue of the transporter beam faded from the eyes of Cadet Kyle Anders, the pit in his stomach grew larger. He’d never seen a transporter room this size before now. The Challenger’s transporter operator stared at him, confused for a moment as he stared in awe at, what she saw as, a regular old transporter pad. Kyle took a nervous step off the pad and walked up to the transporter control console.
“Your Department Head is waiting for you in his office,” the officer said, smiling at how nervous the young cadet looked.
“Thanks” Kyle replied, absentmindedly clicking his knuckles out of nervousness. He grabbed his bag, that for some reason felt twice as heavy all of a sudden and headed out of the door into the corridor. After spending what felt like hours looking at a computer console to see where to find the Cheif of Security’s office, he found the nearest turbolift and hopped in. He was relieved to know that, at 21 years of age, Kyle was not the youngest officer serving on the Challenger. Kyle approached the office, clicked the chime, and waited to be permitted entry.

LT JG Joseph Rainns took a seat behind his desk, he had a check in appointment that was about to start. Even though it was an early morning appointment and many officers that Rainns knew and worked with drank caffeine to give themselves energy boosts in the morning, Rainns was not one of them. A glass of water with exactly three ice cubes stood on his desk, and the young lieutenant picked it up for a drink. Placing it back down, he took some paper and clipped it to a clipboard, uncapping a pen he wrote at the top of the paper, ‘Kyle Anders Notes’, he sat back in his chair just in time to hear his chime go off. “Enter.” He called out, ready to start the interview.
