Posted by Ensign John Striker (Security Officer) in Reporting to CNS Office for evaluation.
Striker hated counseling sessions… He understood their importance but saw it as mind combat and it was a combat for once he was on the backfoot.

He’d already had his medical and had hoped to avoid this particular appointment, his new Department Head had clearly anticipated this from his record and had made a point of sending Striker here prior to settling into his quarters.

Striker pressed the buzzer and waited....

Akane briefly jumped at the sound of the buzzer and quickly popped a bookmark in the novel she was reading, popping it back on the shelf by her desk.

“Come in,” she called out as she stood to greet her guest.

The counsellor’s office was warm and inviting, with a variety of comfortable chairs and a large plush looking sofa with a velvet turquoise throw draped across it artistically. As the door slid open, Akane smiled warmly and gestured to open seat. “Welcome Ensign, please do take a seat. Can I get you something to drink or perhaps some cake?” She offered with a twinkle in her eye.
