The Dark haired Bajoran walked briskly through the halls of the USS Challenger. The cadet was heading to the CMO’s office, a mixture of eagerness and a tinge of nerves swelled within her as she walked, passing others by. In her head she was going over rules and etiquette, first impressions and all that after all.
‘I hope no one notices the tea stain on my shoe, Its not my fault I dropped the cup. That plant defiantly moved and tried to put something in my cup…maybe..Ill look into it later’ She thought to herself, remembering earlier in the day when she was sitting drinking a decent cup of double milk oolong.

Sitting she closed her eyes for a moment, about to get up and make her way to meet her new department head, when she swore she heard a rustle and when she suddenly opened her eyes a plant’s frond was in her cup.
“AAhck!” The Bajoran shrieked as her cup fell to the ground, amazingly its contents missed almost all of her uniform, aside from a lone left shoe which took the brunt of the tea. Standing up and spinning to look the plant in the eyes. Yet all seemed normal , a double chair and a potted plant, albeit the plant had one slightly longer frond.
“I don’t have time for this , but I’ll be back.” She said in her normal raspy voice , happy that no one else was here to watch her threaten a plant, or worse, ‘What if they thought I was threatening the chairs…’ She thought.

Snapping back to her current destination , she found herself standing outside the Office door. ” Ok, simple, just ring the buzzer and say, ‘Cadet Electra Tamar reporting for duty, commande…wait oh prophets I forgot their rank…” Electra whispered to herself, swiftly reaching and hitting the door buzzer before she could think about it too much and was late despite being inches away.

OOC: Welcome to the challenger! This is an awesome first post!

Mika had been awaiting Electra’s arrival, and so as soon as the buzzer rang, the door came open. Mika’s office was cozy, if a bit bland, with two chairs on one side of the desk, facing away from the door, and one on her own side of the desk, which she currently sat in. There was a bookshelf against one wall filled with medical texts - several of the titles read things like Anatomy of the Universe, Alien Anatomy and Physiology, Emergency Medicine for the 24th Century, or Natural remedies. On her desk was a photo of herself with the Challenger’s Chief Science Officer, Aili McMorran. The two seemed pretty close in the picture - it was a selfie taken in the Holodeck at some sort of old-timey shop, with their arms around each other.

As Electra entered the office, Mika beckoned her in with a friendly smile. “Cadet Electra, welcome. Have a seat.” She said.

Taking in the room for a moment, the cadet said, “Thank you Lieutenant.” Sitting down she crossed a leg and continued, trying to sound sincere and not too sappy, “I am honored to be assigned to such an advanced ship, and intend to do my best.” Electra awaited the officer’s response, clasping her hands in front of her and glancing around the room curiously. The cadet while used to working on a ship couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like here.

Mika nodded. “It is a good ship. You’ll like it,” she said and offered a friendly smile. “So, what made you want to become a Starfleet officer?” She asked the Cadet, listening intently for the answer.

She waited a moment before answering, “Well unlike many of my fellow colleagues I didn’t always have the dream to be in Starfleet. I did however want to help heal people from a young age. At one point I wanted to be a historian or a music host, never pursued those much though, parents didn’t really encourage that. Went back to being a medical assistant. ” The cadets expression changed for a moment, mulling over important points and trying to make her answer shorter, “Long story short I had a choice, join as an assistant to a holo med on a pleasure cruise or join Starfleet.”

She straightened in her seat a bit, “Starfleet seemed to be a better choice, a bigger picture where I could grow and learn, maybe not as much freedom, but more of a purpose, a reason. So here I am today, ready to serve this ship.” Electra clasped her hands and awaited what would come next.

Mika chuckled. “Starfleet does sound a better choice.” she said. “It is a difficult path, but proves… rewarding. In many ways.” She said. “I’d say varied interests make you more well rounded than those who knew what they wanted all along.” She herself had always known that she wanted to be a doctor, but she’d always placed quite a lot of importance in unrelated hobbies. Like, martial arts, in her case.

“Well I hope so. Sometimes I feel like the odd one out when so many others I have met seem to be so sure of always wanting to join. Even, often coming from an entire family line that have been in Star Fleet. My parents however were not that thrilled I was going to join Star Fleet. I hope I can change their minds yet.” Electra replied. “But no matter I am here, and ready to learn and work.” She stated eagerly straightening in her seat a bit pushing a stray hair back over her ear.
