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.

Doctor Elaine Janvier, CMO

OOC: The Mythology class has an entire counselling suite and there are six offices inside with a reception area. We’ll make this work with a little wave of a magic wand.
IC:
Stepping inside the Counseling Suite Janvier found herself inside a large half moon space. In the centre was a curved desk where a blond Risian sat behind a computer terminal. Behind her along the curve of the room were six doors, each with a different colour. The wall with the door to the corridor had a few chairs for people to wait if needed. Beside the Risian was a petite Human woman with chin length blond curls and grass green eyes.

She blew out a breath and looked up at the sound of the door. Then she smiled. “Ahh, I was hoping you’d be by soon. Elaine, yes?”

OOC: I must have looked at the wrong specs, oops.

IC: Elaine gave the Risan a nod in greeting and then focused on the blonde human in front of her, “Elaine, yes.” she said softly, “and this is Enj” she gestured to the small fluffy dog that had trailed quietly in behind her and was now happily sniffing around one of the seats his tail wagging behind him.

“I hope you don’t mind I brought him with me, he’s very well behaved but I was worried he’d get nervous being in a new place if I left him by himself. We’ve been together for so long now that he feels like an extension of myself sometimes.” She explained, “Of course I can take him back, it wouldn’t take long”

Lt. Janvier, CMO

“Not at all.” The woman stepped around the desk to greet the pair, and crouched, putting her hand out so the dog could sniff her if he liked. She looked up at Elaine. “I’m Janna Kingston, head of the department.”

Enj gave Jana’s hand a brief sniff and then rubbed his head against her palm. Not looking for a scratch but more like he was saying he accepted Janna.

“I was thinking, if you’re up for it, we could have our chat elsewhere? I need to get out of my office.”

“True, that,” the Risian quipped with a snort.

Janna looked over her shoulder back at Cherry. “Hush you.” She returned her gaze to Enj. “And I know just the place where you can come with us.” She flicked her gaze upwards. “Unless you want to stay here. We totally can, if you do.”

~Janna Kingston, CNS

Elaine stifled an amused smile behind her sleeve. It reminded her from when she had been CMO on the Dauntless, she had had a nurse there who had frequently told her she needed to get out of her office more as well.

“Of course,” she replied, moving out of the way so Jana could exit, “Just lead the way and we’ll follow.

Lt. Janvier, CMO

Janna gave a quick nod and stepped out of the reception area and into the corridor, heading for the turbolift. “How was your journey here?” she asked as she called the lift. They only had to go down three decks to Deck 14, so their destination wouldn’t take long to reach.

~Janna Kingston, CNS

Enj trotted alongside Elaines ankles, panting happily as the trio walked through the corridor. “It was long. There are only so many published space medicine articles I can read before my fingers are tingling to hold be holding a scalpel again. I’ll be happy to get back into Sickbay and into a routine again. I think Enj will be feeling the same, it wasn’t a large ship we were on, the new sights and smell will have him snoring away happily tonight”

Lt. Janvier, CMO

Janna laughed. “Oh, I can imagine. And this ship has a lot to explore. I’m sure Enj will enjoy the process.”

The lift carried them them down and Janna guided them to a set of doors the entered Arboretum 1.

Inside was a large green space with paths and benches. There were trees, shrubs, and flowering plants from all over the Federation. “Welcome to our largest of the three arboreta. We are fortunate to have a lot of recreational space on the ship. A former captain of ours once called the ship a glorified cruise ship, but she always said with a with a smirk. She loved the ship, even though she was a former tactical officer and the previous iteration of the Athena was a tactical destroyer.” Janna flashed Elaine a grin. “I don’t know about you, but I much prefer this over a battleship.”
