Paku bounced on the balls of his feet, trying not to wiggle too much as he waited. The other students chattered and talked while they waited for their mentors to arrive. Paku was very excited because he got to shadow the coolest person of all of them. The First Officer. His Ig’ta was the coolest person on the ship, but they weren’t participating in the job shadowing. … Probably because a lot of the kids in class were icked out by bees and ants and other weird bugs. Paku twisted a bit of his shirt, fiddling with it.

“Quiet down, students. Our volunteers are here now. Use the picture on your Padd to find your adult.”

The door opened, and several uniformed Starfleet Officers filed into the classroom.

OOC: Now I know why i’m AWOL. My post didn’t save. Sorry.

When Ciaran arrived at the classroom, he looked around. He saw a number of children and he was nervous. He was never the best with children. He always felt nervous and did not know how to act around them. He was always worried he would say or do something incorrectly. This was as good as a time to test his skills. He had not had children of his own so he was not use to being around him. He was way better with machines than he was people, especially children. He waited to be introduced and provided a child to show around.

Executive Officer

Paku’s hands flapped excitedly for a moment before he clasped them behind his back in imitation of the very important adults. The teacher introduced each adult, calling their assigned student over, and finally reached the First Officer. “Lt. Commander Donoghuei, you’ve been paired up with Paku. Paku, come greet your mentor.”

Paku scampered over. He was a small child, about two thirds the height of the other children in his age group. If Ciaran had seen his parent around, he’d know that was natural for his species. Pak looked up at the man with a starstruck expression on his face, big brown eyes wide in wonderment. “I am honoured to meet you, SIR!” He exclaimed, attempting to salute. It was a little messy, but he got the point across.
