There was a remarkable lack of ink blots on the walls of Katie’s office. In fact, it was more akin to walking into a very comfortable living room in a family home. Two midnight blue easy chairs stood with plush blankets and pillows accenting them. A fluffy carpet matched the easy chairs and, on the other side of it, a wooden cabinet appeared to have some sort of faked fireplace.

“Take a seat,” she commented, indicating the pair of chairs. “Would you like something to drink while we chat?”

Shore sat after wandering around the office looking lost, the carpet felt soft under his feet.

“No thank you” he replied, and proceeded to sit down.

Shore stared ahead at the CNS.

Katie offered Shore a comforting smile as she murmured a command at the cabinet and a flame roared to life in it, offering a comforting orange hue to the space as well as a slight draft of warmth. She settled into the chair across from him, nudging off her uniform boots and tucking her feet under her rear as she angled her body toward him. The smile returned to her features as she commented, “relax, Ensign, I don’t bite… much.” She took a moment for the humor to set in and then continued, “so is there anything you think I should know about you or your background? Remember, these evaluations are confidential.”
