The boarding physical done made it two out of three, with the only remaining appointment being the psychological evaluation. Even though Audrey knew the importance of a counselor on board a starship, it was still the appointment she looked forward to the least.

It didn’t take long for Emerson to reach the Counseling Suites on deck 11. After all, they were one deck away from Sickbay. Silently, Audrey examined the doors before stopping at the one belonging to Lieutenant O’Farrell’s office, the senior counselor on board, and the name listed on her PaDD as the person she was to check in with.

With one last check on her hair, and one last tug at her uniform, Audrey pressed the chime and waited to be called in.

Lt. Cmdr. Emerson, CSO
