Daggum made his way from the bridge to the Counselor’s office. He had made an appointment, as he disliked when people dropped in on him unannounced in the middle of work.

Unlike many of his fellow Star Fleet officers, Hammor didn’t mind the Counselor part of checking in to a new command. He had always found Counselors to be helpful and useful in unpacking things one may have wanted to keep stored up. So it was with no trepidation that he rapped the chime with a big green knuckle and waited.

Hammor, Ops

The door opened to reveal a reception area where a large desk was placed with five different colored doors behind. Sat at the desk was a young woman who was looking towards the doorway with a warm smile. “Hi there I’m Cherry. How can we help you today?”

CNS Iven

Hammor stepped in and walked to the desk. “Nice to meet you, Cherry.” Daggum said with a smile. “I am Lieutenant Commander Hammor, the new Operations Chief. I have an appointment for my on-boarding assessment, I believe.”

Hammor, Ops

bump

“Of course, let me see who is available.” Cherry responded before checking the schedule on her terminal. She sent a message before turning back to Hammor. “Our CNS will be with you shortly. If you’d like to make yourself comfortable in the meantime…”

Cherry’s words were cut off as a door swished open and a large man stepped out of his office. He gave a grin and half wave to Cherry before he turned to the Ops Chief.

“Commander Hammor, if you’d be so kind to join me.”

CNS Iven

Hammor nodded in acknowledgement and then smiled at Cherry. “A pleasure, thank you.” and he followed the CNS into the office. As he stepped through, he looked at the man and said “Thank you, Commander. I’m glad you had an opening.”

Hammor, Ops

As Hammor stepped into the office he would see that there was a work station with terminal and chair not centered in the room facing the door but instead in a corner where the door was off to the side. There was a couch with a chair near it, a cluster of chairs off to another side, and a couple large beanbag chairs in another corner. Séan grinned wryly at Hammor as he pointed to his uniform pips. “Just a Lieutenant, but please have a seat. Can I get you something to drink?”

CNS Iven

OOC: Oops, read the wrong line for the rank. lol

IC: Hammor chuckled. “Sorry, Lieutenant. Habit. Last posting the Counselor was a Commander, and I dealt with them quite a bit getting specialty requisitions for some of the classrooms. Guess I got in the habit.” and he made his way to the couch and took a seat. “And no thank you, I’m fine.” and he looked around the office taking notice of the openness and style.

Hammor had moved around duty stations so much he had learned that someone’s office or quarters said a lot about them.

Hammor, Ops

Séan went to replicator and get himself a coffee before he took a chair next to the couch. “Did you visit your last Counselor frequently or was it more of a working familiarity?” He asked before he took a sip of his coffee, intending to give Hammor an opportunity to answer.

CNS Iven

Hammor said “I guess it would have been more of a working familiarity… but I did go see them a few times professionally. I’m not one to shy away from asking for help if I need it. And Counselors are a great resource for a ship to have. I encourage all of my staff to utilize Counseling services as they need to. Operations can handle a lot of things, Doc… but even we need help sorting out a mess from time to time.” and he smiled and relaxed into the couch.

Hammor, Ops

Séan nodded in agreement. “I would of course recommend everyone to come talk to us as often as they need or want. We need the business afterall. Though I am gratified to hear you value mental health and seeking help.” He paused a moment to take another drink before he continued on. “What do you think of the Athena so far? Where have you visited?”

CNS Iven

Hammor looked at him and his eyes narrowed slightly. He didn’t quite grasp the road their conversation was taking, but he was game. “Well, as I’ve been here less than twenty-four hours, I would hazard to say that I don’t know enough to make an informed opinion. But from what I’ve read, and the few interactions I’ve had so far, I’d say my preliminary opinion is favorable. I know the crew has been through it recently; but the fact that many if them still seem to have a sense of optimism and fulfillment I take as a sign of a solid team.”

Hammor, Ops

Séan nodded. “It has been interesting to see the crew maintaining good morale considering what they’ve been through in the last mission. There has of course been some who are still working through things but I’m optimistic. What sort of activities or hobbies do you like to do in your off time?”

CNS Iven

“Well, one of my passions is collecting old Earth relics called ‘comic books’. I find the characters and stories very engaging. And I also use the holodeck to hike and meditate. One of my favorite places is on Vulcan. It’s an old monastery high up in the Luk’tol mountain range. It’s really… I dunno… tranquil, I think is the right word. I was fortunate enough to be able to visit it in real life. Ten thousand steps to walk up to it. Took a full day. But it was entirely worth it.” Hammor replied and he smiled as he remembered the trip.

Hammor, Ops

OOC: I don’t remember if Vulcan was destroyed in the time-line the club is going by or not.

Séan blinked when he thought about ten thousand steps. “That certainly takes endurance to continue walking up a mountain all day. I’ve never been to Vulcan before but going up a mountain and just taking it in sounds wonderful. Do you do any hiking in a holodeck program or anything like that when you’re stuck on a ship?” He finished what was in his mug before setting it aside. His caffeine intake was a bit much lately but there were so many patients to see.

CNS Iven

OOC: Club’s main Timeline is Standard, so Vulcan exists. I believe the USS Chernov is our only Abramsverse ship.

Hamoor nodded in the affirmative. “Oh yes. I try to do that at least once a week, if not more. I collect programs of places that make for good hikes. I’ve also found that is a good way to meet and get to know people. Nothing like a few miles of mountain trail to get the conversation going.” and he smiled at the Counselor. “If you would ever like to, consider yourself invited.”

Hammor, Ops

OOC: Ah, thanks for the tidbit.

Séan nodded and grinned easily. “I’ll probably take you up on that. I don’t mind a long hike as I’ve got some decent stamina. I don’t go jogging or running though as it’s hard on a big body. Though I imagine you’d be pretty familiar with that. Do you do any other sort of exercise to keep that muscular?”
