Sara walked down the hall of her new ship. She carried the PaDD with her transfer orders under her arm. She was to report to Captain Sarah Allen, USS Chimera NCC-98730. Sara reporting to Sarah. This wasn’t going to be awkward. She walked like an officer, back straight, long strides, she looked like she had purpose. She came to a set of doors that hissed open to reveal the bridge. She stepped out to see her new station. An NE science officer approached her. “Can I help you Ma’am? Are you the new first officer?” She stared him down. “Yes. I’m Lt Cmdr Sara Kiernan. Don’t call me Ma’am. Sir, Commander, or Lieutenant Commander will do. Where is the Captain’s ready room?”
“Um. Over there Ma’… Commander.”
“Thank you.” Sara walked to the door indicated. She pressed the chime next to the door itself and heard it ring.

-Lt Cmdr Sara Kiernan, XO
