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

Answering the chime was a woman with curly bright red hair, green eyes, and classic pale skin marked her as having strong Irish Terran heritage. A very strong Irish accent flowed from her, “Lt Cmdr Emerson. It’s nice te meet ye. I’m Lt O’Farrell. Come on in.”

“Nice to meet you too, Lieutenant.” Audrey said with a smile as she followed the Counselor inside of her office.

Immediately to the left of the door was a desk. A variety of places to sit and low tables dotted the rest of the open area. The right wall was taken up with a wall to wall, floor to ceiling storage until. Books, various pieces of art, and nick knacks covered the shelves. “Help yerself ta the replicator and have a seat.” O’Farrell grabbed a glass of tea off her desk and had a seat in one of the chairs.

“Oh, thank you but I’m fine.” Emerson said at the invitation to use the replicator. She had already had enough coffee that morning and couldn’t really think of anything else to order. Audrey’s eyes were immediately drawn to the shelves, curious about what they held. It didn’t take long, however, for her to follow O’Farrell and take a sit in a nearby chair.

“I’m here for my psychological evaluation.” Emerson said. She was sure the Counselor already knew it, but she felt the need to fill in the silence somehow.

Cara followed her gaze over to the shelves, “I know they are kinda bare.” There was a section filled with mostly text books, and then a shelf of actual paper journals and writing mediums. “The previous counselor had a lot of souvenirs apparently. The sound system still work if ya want ta pick some music.”

There were plenty of places to sit, low and high back chairs of differing plushness, some floor pillows and even a massive reinforced couch. Cara took a seat in one of the chairs and sipped from a glass of water she had, and then nodded, “Well why donna we start with how ya ended up on this Starbase with warp drive?”

O’Farrell

“Ah yes, starbase with warp drive seems a fitting description. I had never set foot on a starship this large before, let alone serve in one.” Audrey replied with a chuckle. “I was just transferred from the USS Castellan after a four year tour. It seems Command thought I’d be a good fit for the Atlantis and I couldn’t be happier with that decision.” A quick search through the computer files would reveal that the USS Castellan was a Pendragon class vessel, and that this ship in particular was a prisoner transport. Pendragon class ships did carry science labs on board, but they were mostly geared towards criminal and forensic procedures.

Cara glanced quickly at the details on the PaDD. She hated when records didn’t arrive before the officer.

“I haven’t had the chance to visit the Atlantis’s labs yet, but I’ve gone over their description.” Emerson’s face lit up with excitement. “If they are as incredible as the specs made them sound like, I can’t wait to get started here!”

Lt. Cmdr. Emerson, CSO

“I have stumbled inta the labs once or twice. They are massive.” Stumbled in, more like getting lost. The stairs connecting the two decks had totally thrown the internal navigationally challenged counselor. “This will be different from yer last assignment. Will ya miss Castellan?”
