It was the stars that made Cara smile as she watched outside her window of the shuttle that would bring her to her new home the infamous and lovely USS Athena. The bright stars out here were so different than on the Aura colony her parents founded it brought smile her to her lips. She had dressed the part today, her uniform fresh and pressed and her black hair was braided and pinned up like a crown on her head. A single purple strand curled above her brow and it reminded her of who she was. A rebel against all those who didn’t believe in star-fleet where her whole heart and trust was placed. Her parents would be fuming and she didn’t care. A young woman sat beside her, a nurse named Heather who looked just as nervous.
“Don’t worry if we take care of med bay and remember our training everything else will fall into place,” Cara assured and the blond woman smiled and took her hand.
“I hope you’re right,” Heather said and then spoke about Iowa and how much she missed it. Heather’s story was cut short by the intercom when it came on.
“Docking in 5 minutes.” Cara and Heather looked at each other and then grasped each other’s hand nervously.They’d started the academy together and Cara was relieved they would still be together on their assignment.Once they docked Cara grabbed her bags and headed straight for the C.O.’s office to check in. She pushed the com and then waited trying not to rock back and forth nervously on her tiptoes.

A shadowy presence arrived at approximately 2.3cm from Cara’s elbow. A dark furred Caitian with a white scar over one eye hove into view. His eyes were darker than his fur and his face seemed to be set in a perpetual state of extreme intensity and watchfulness.

“Welcome to the Athena, Cara Daniels” he said in a quiet voice and smiled slightly showing a generous amount of canine.

Cara didn’t scream per say but she gave a little gasp in surprise. She hadn’t heard anyone get so close to her. Of course Cara had read up on the command of the ship and recognized the CIO. She took a deep breath let herself relax since there was no way she was going to fit in here if she was so tense. She looked at the man as if commiting the meeting to memory. She’d never met a Catian before and was thrilled.
“Thank you sir. I feel very lucky she’s a beautiful ship,” Cara said a soft smile crossing her face.

Stark’s smile became a little wider and his dark eyes softened somehow. “She is a beautiful ship indeed Cara but all the more so because of the people who serve on her. We’re a fiercely protective family unit and in part that is the reason I wanted to welcome you into it. You are no stranger to compassion and that is a virtue we all share here so again I welcome you.”

Stark looked at the door. “I suspect our Captain has sensed our presence and is giving us time for a quick chat before responding to your door chime”.
