Settling in at a small high top table, Kaylee let out the sigh that she had kept under wraps for the past several weeks. Her posting on the Endeavour had been a whirlwind so far, initially assigned as the ship’s counselor and then quickly promoted by Starfleet to the first officer for the second time in her career. She had known that her tour as counselor would be brief; Starfleet had indicated it would only last as long as it took for another first officer posting to be made available, but it truly had been an exceptionally short amount of time.

Reaching behind her, she tugged out the clip that held her dark blonde hair in a twist on the back of her head. A small shake of her head allowed her wavy hair to tumble down her back and she ran her hands through it several times, enjoying the slight massage it gave her scalp. The trademark black eyes of her race made eye contact with a nearby server and, with a pleasant smile, she ordered a glass of pinot noir. It appeared by her side moments later and she swirled the red liquid slowly around the glass as she studied the various groups of cadets and officers in the lounge.
