“Please, call me Counselor or Beveres–none of that ‘sir’ crap, it makes me feel old.” She grinned, shaking her head in mild amusement. “I see. Let’s make this quick and painless, all right?” She spoke softly. “Are you new to Starfleet, Mister Starr? Or is the Ark Angel among your many assignments to fleet ships?” She asked, typing in his name to pull up his file. It took a few moments longer, the transfer of information over a greater distance inhibiting her speed. After all, the Ark Angel and the Viking were nowhere near each other.

“Oh, yes counsellor” Starr replied. Pulling up the file, it would show that he was fresh out of the academy and this was his first posting. “This is my first official assignment as an officer,” he said answering the question. There was also a note regarding the fact that Starr had opened up a little about his brother, Tom, during his sessions at the academy. His brother was flagged as missing when the academy performed standard background checks on his family. He majored in Federation Law and in his third year also picked up Starship Tactics as part of his studies. He spent his final year on the cadet cruise aboard the USS Challenger, in the Security division.

“I see you come from the Challenger–a fine ship, don’t you think?” She smiled at the digital image of her patient. She did not focus on his file, figuring it had little to do with who Simon was as a person. Clasping her hands together, a mug of what appeared to be coffee beside them, she focussed on Starr. “How have you been settling in so far?” She asked. His cadet cruise would have given him the expectations for his first assignment, but that did not eradicate the anxieties of one’s initial officer position.

“She was a beautiful posting, counsellor” Simon replied to the counsellor’s first question. “I made some good memories there,” he said, with a slight smile. “As to right now, so far, I must admit, I’ve been a little nervous. First official posting after all. I’m also excited. I may have finished the academy, but really my learning has only just begun. So, there’s anticipation, I guess would be the best way to describe it. Wanting to get to work, I’ve spent four years training for this moment, and now I’ve made it, I don’t want to put my time to waste,” he answered.

He had learned that there could be something to discover even when you’re having dinner with the crew, and there are always times to think of creative ideas. He thought about the caitian and wondered how her science project was going. He wanted to get into contact with the old crew. He knew where the doctor Wooley was assigned as they graduated together. “I also appreciate taking the time to consider those lessons when they do happen,” he said, bringing himself back to the meeting.
