Elaine stopped where she was walking and gazed out of one of the windows on the USS Athena at the stars that surrounded the ship. It was nice to be in space again she thought to herself, after being on Earth for so long nursing her Grandmother she hadn’t realised how much she had missed it. Now that she was up amongst the stars again, she wanted to stop and take a minute for herself.

She stayed there for a few minutes until a whine and a nudge at her legs brought her back from her thoughts. She looked down at the small dog beside her. “Thank you Enj,” she spoke softly to the little Shih Tzu, giving him a gentle ruffle “I shouldn’t be day-dreaming when we’ve got places to be and people to meet,”

She glanced down at her schedule, first the Counselor, then she’d go and do a quick check-in at Sickbay before checking in with the Captain. For that particular meeting she’d leave Enj in their new quarters then collect him again when she returned back to Sickbay to set up her office and meet her staff properly. It would be a busy day but she wanted to get back into working again as soon as she could.

A few minutes later she reached the Counselors office and rung the chime. Before stepping out of the doorway to wait.
