Tom walked into his Quarters and set his bags down on the bed. He looked around at what would be his room for the next few months and smiled, Tom had a good feeling about being on board. Things were looking up for him. ‘Right then’ He thought to himself ‘let’s get checked in’. Tom left his unpacking until later, that would wait, he was eager to meet his Department Head and get acquainted with the environment he would be working in. Tom left his Quarters and made his way to Sickbay.

Tom was just about to stride into Sickbay when he paused. He took a moment to stand up straight, pull the Tunic of his Uniform into place and generally make sure he look as presentable as possible - after all, first impressions and all that. He then stepped forward, waited for the doors to slide open and walked in.

Upon entering Tom gazed around the room. This was all terribly exciting! He stood to one side, ensuring his wasn’t in anyone’s way, hoping to catch somebody’s attention.
