Ranlei had used every stalling tactic possible to havoid talking to the CNS. She had taken to using her Intelligence training anud comics puter skills to schedule her apointments at times when the CNS was otherwise engaged thus making it look like a series of coincidental missed apointments. Then sh7e had switched apointments with another crewman a few times so that NE OverlyInsecure had seen the councilor 6 times in a week. But that was probably being cruel to poor Overlyinsecure as now that man was paranoid about the CNS being out to get him. So she had booked Overlyinsecure for a two week r & r next stop over. These types of Shenanigans were going to get her in trouble. So stalling wasn’t going to work anymore. She had hoped that by stalling things would settle into normal. But that hadn’t happened. If anything the f5act that she was crawling out of a Jefferies tube on her way to see the CNS likely indicated that the claustraphobia she had experianced since she had spent 3 days trapped in a envitonmental suit was not any better. To the crew she passed she looked normal and as always she smiled and greeted each one by name. Starfleet personel unlike civilians tended to be more accepting of aliens but her pre-academy life Had left her with a tendency to keep her own opinion private, and a lack of self esteem she covered up by always trying to seem confident. So she buzzed the door chime to the CNS’s office before she could chicken out again. And waited.
