After meeting with the Captain, Ruthie took a moment to freshen up before taking the turbolift to Deck 33. She checked her blonde hair–still perfectly coiffed–and picked up her valise, wishing she had left it in her quarters before all these meetings. She was 52 after all and it had to be about 40 pounds.

The Counseling Center in Mjolnir-Class vessels was truly a highlight of the vessel class, Ruthie had always thought. Not sure who the Counselor was, she stood timidly at the entrance of the center until she couldn’t take it any more, dropping her valise to the floor.
