One of the many ways in which Faye needed to settle into life on the Athena was twofold: she needed to get to know the social space on the ship so she could understand how people chose to interact, and she had to suss out certain variables.

Stepping into 17/18 Forward, known as The Parthenon, Faye immediately got the reference. It was a fun nod to the ship’s name, all told. The CIO was in uniform, with her dark brown hair twisted up in a simple knot, rather than the ponytails she had preferred before. Moving silently to the bar, she slipped up onto a stool and folded her arms across the bartop, happy to just observe people working for the moment, as well as the people moving about her. The person she wanted to see would show up eventually. It was her bar, after all.

~Faye Calloway, CIO
