Posted by Captain Jennifer Wallace (Commanding Officer) in Lounge - A party (Open for everyone)
Jennifer fixed up the collar of her dress uniform, glancing down at the small collection of boxes on the table beside her. Pips. Promotions. She lifted a hand to touch the four golden pips on her collar, then smiled and left the side room, entering into the Lounge. It was setting up nicely with fancy decorations that matched the occasion. She smiled at Marishka, then moved over to an entree table where there were some little snacks to eat.

Being one of the new people on the ship, Noah still hadn’t met many of his fellow officers. It seemed like perfect timing, then, that he had heard there was going to be a party. Lots of opportunities to make small talk with everyone without having the need to have deep conversations with people he had just met. Of course the thought of walking into a room full of strangers and all their eyes on him made his skin crawl, so he was determined to be early. His dress uniform felt odd to him. This was probably the second time he had even worn the thing but it was also nice to have something to celebrate and to look good doing it.

As he arrived at the doors to the lounge he paused briefly to give himself a little pep talk: Noah, you are going to be working with these people very closely for a good while. They are going to become your family and friends and you can either be the quiet, weird one that nobody knows anything about or you can hit the ground running and leave your introvert side in your quarters.

With that he stepped through the doors and surveyed the scene. He was definitely early, perhaps too early, because there really wasn’t anyone there yet… except the captain of course. All of that confidence started seeping back out of him like an air leak in a shuttlepod. Noah closed his eyes briefly and took a steadying breath. Ensigns may not hang out with captains, but doctors should at least be familiar to the officers they may have to care for at some point.

With the air leak stoppered for the moment, he walked over to the table and presented himself, “Good evening ma’am.”
