‘Well, no time like the present’, she thought, and she started to make her way towards Sickbay.

OOC: This is stunningly beautiful! ~Linds

OOC: I second that. -Jenn

OOC: Thank you both for taking the time to read all the way through ;). I feel appreciated.

IC: An Orion woman in command red approached her with a welcoming smile. “En Fitzgerald. Welcome aboard the Manhattan. I’m Cmdr Mal’athar,” the woman offered her hand. Shedda read all personnel reports of the people who came aboard. The woman had a solid background despite her lengthy leave of absence. And a demotion in rank, at her own request. It was interesting. Then again, everyone who came to the Manhattan was interesting and had stories. Sometimes they shared and sometimes they didn’t. “How was your trip out?”

Anna smiled and took the hand. “It was fine, Commander. Nice to meet you. I wasn’t expecting a welcoming party; certainly not the XO.”

The woman smiled. “Captain Cochrane and I always make it a point to meet everyone who comes on board. Out here, we are all we have. We’re a community and everyone is a part of it. It can be hard to be so far away from everything that is familiar.” She walked toward the lift. “If you don’t mind telling me, what drew you to accept a position all the way out here?”
