After handling her evals, Ka’sora made her way to Deck Six and mused she was getting a good tour of the upper half of the ship (and she couldn’t wait to see more). Arriving at the office of her department head, she wasn’t sure how her studies fit into the layout of the ship. She figured she’d be in one of the general labs, but there wasn’t a deck focused on the social sciences. In fact, she thought she had just misread the ship layout, but after reading it twice she conceded that it was just an area that was of less interest for the ship’s missions. Given their presence in the Delta Quadrant, she thought this was an odd omission. Oh well, she would make it work, just like she did everything else.

Arriving at Flynn’s door, she pressed the chime.

The office was…a whirlwind might be the best description. Or an active type-7 spatial disruption maybe? The door hissed open to admit her to the small room, where the CSO was all about, only pausing for a moment in each place. It looked like he might be packing his things, or at least a good deal of them, although some clearly personalized architecture (the desk, for example, an elaborate multicolored metallic piece that vaguely resembled a nebula) didn’t appear to be going anywhere. It took a moment, but he paused at the edge of the aforementioned desk. “Ka’sora, yes? I know your file was in this morning’s stack of PADDs somewhere.”

Her movements were slow and steady as she approached the desk, and took in the surroundings with a beaming smile. “Yes, yes I am!” she said, bending at the hips. She peered at the desk and tilted her head to examine it from different angles. “Is this the natural colouration of the material or synthetically made to look that way?” Ka’sora asked, standing upright again.

~Ensign Ka’Sora

“It’s naturally occurring, but atypical for the material - this particular sample was subjected to stresses in a spatial anomaly I came across on the Harper and I managed to talk the Captain into keeping it. Next time I was planetside I got in touch with an artisan to make this.” He grinned. “Now. This is your first assignment, correct?”

She nodded, shifting her weight from one foot to the other. “Yes. I’ve been on my cadet cruise but this is my first office assignment after graduating from the Academy. And it’s quite the honour to be here, especially in the Delta Quadrant. It’s very exciting!”

“How’ve you been adjusting?” Arthur asked, gesturing at an empty chair. “Especially given the deep-space nature of our assignment?”

Ka’Sora took a seat and folded her arms on the edge of the desk. “Well, I only just got here, so I can’t really say. It did take a couple weeks of travel to make it here, but I’ve been away from my world before. My Academy duration was shorter than others- two years- but it was enough to help me understand the adjustments I will need to make during my career. But… the Delta Quadrant is really far from my world. It will be difficult knowing I can’t just arrange to go home for a visit so easily.

~Ensign Ka’Sora

“It is a completely different world out here,” Arthur agreed, “although we do try to make the ship a bit of a second home so you still have somewhere to feel comfortable when you aren’t able to return to your homeworld. We have a lot of events and such that get hosted, very much like the Academy operates.”

“I look forward to getting to meet people then,” Ka’sora said. “So… given the ship isn’t focused on the social sciences, will I have space to work, or will I need to find a place I can carve out. I mean, realistically, I just need to be able to collate information as I gather it.” Her eyes widened and she sat straight up, with her ears flicking upwards as well. “That is, if it’s okay to continue my research. Perhaps I shouldn’t assume?”

~Ensign Ka’Sora

“Of course you can continue,” Arthur laughed. “We don’t have a dedicated social science lab, but there’s always plenty of space in the general labs right next door. Biological labs are on 4 and 5, if those happen to ever intersect your own research.”

Chief Science Officer

Tilting her head, Ka’sora considered such a scenario. “They might. Could be rare, but given I’m out here to learn and try new things, I won’t discount such an occurrence,” she said before breaking into a smile. Oh, there were such possibilities out here!

“What else can you tell me about the department and the work everyone is doing?” she asked.
