“Likewise. If there isn’t anything else you are dismissed Ensign.” Captain Becket said with a smile and a nod. “Again welcome aboard.” He added

Ensign Waryn came to attention smartly. “Thank you, Sir!” He did an about-face and left the Captain’s Ready Room.

Izak relaxed as he walked through the short corridor and into the turbolift. Captain Becket seemed very approachable, but as a new Ensign, he also knew he wasn’t going to be drinking a Maraltian Seev-ale with the Commanding Officer any time soon. He’d tried to keep the meeting professional and hoped he made a good first impression.

=^=”Deck 11, Counseling Suites.” The new Ensign’s first couple of days onboard the Ark Angel had been hectic with orientations and check-ins with key personnel, and today was no exception. He had his mandatory meeting with LT Cross, the Chief Counselor, in about 15 minutes, so he was heading down there early. He hoped to be done with it quickly and back to Main Engineering with as little fuss as possible.

The doors to the turbolift opened on Deck 11, and Izak was startled to catch a glimpse of a familiar face as they passed a ‘T’ intersection. ENS Tora Kelby, a tall Andorian woman who had been a couple of years ahead of him in the academy. She didn’t see Izak, but a pit formed in his stomach as old and terrible memories resurfaced…

OOC: Just for fun, I decided to end this by leading directly into the scene with the Chief Counselor. Thanks for the warm welcome, Captain Lynx!
