Posted by Cadet Nicholas Foster (Helmsman) in Deck 23: Ready Room- Check In
“Deck 23” Cadet Foster called out when he entered the turbolift. Nicholas was surprised to learn he’d be continuing his studies on the USS Chimera, the ship that visited the Andromeda Galaxy a few years back. While the Captain should already know of his arrival, Cadet Foster made sure to bring his transfer orders with him to report in.

It wasn’t long before the lift stopped and opened at his destination. Nick didn’t have the entire layout of the ship memorized just yet so he had to read the door labels as he walked past them. Nerves were really never a problem for Cadet Foster. Even if they were, he always showed a calm composure on the outside.

“Ah here it is.” Foster said to himself when he finally found the Captain’s Ready Room. Nicholas pressed the chime to the door and waited to be called in.

Cadet Foster

The response from inside the ready room was swift and instructive. The door slid open, punctuating the entrance command.

The ready room was minimally decorated, but still managed to lend a slight personal air to the space, much of the effects centered around the various Federation craft that Katelyn had flown throughout her career. A trio of models of Starfleet vessels adorned one shelf, commemorating the three ships that she had commanded. Beside them, a framed photo sat, the image of a slightly younger version of the part-Betazoid dressed in a red-trimmed uniform with her arms wrapped around an attractive, athletic man in a similarly adorned uniform.

Katelyn sat behind her desk, her posture confident but not rigid. Her black curls were mostly confined in a high ponytail, although tendrils had escaped to frame her fairly youthful appearance. She had the inky black eyes of her Betazoid heritage and they soon rested on the new arrival to her ready room. A quick glance at the pips on Foster’s collar and she queried, “how can I help you, Cadet?”
