As Keri walked along the hall towards the Counselor’s office, she felt relieved to have met with her new boss. Just getting the first meeting out of the way, so to speak, took the pressure off from all the other ‘firsts’ she would be experiencing throughout this day. Still, even the idea of meeting Captain Holloway seemed manageable now that she had taken that first, terrifying step.

She was looking forward to meeting the Counselor, as she enjoyed psychology and its applications. Still, she never liked Duty Evaluations - they lacked depth, to her mind, anyway but then, Lt. Gadi had access to her records and would be fully aware of any relevant tidbits by now. She wondered how long the Counselor had been aboard the Dresden and if she might have any advice about how to acclimate with the crew? Kerilah had a tendency to be seen by others as pushy due to her enthusiasm and didn’t want to get off on the wrong foot with her new crewmates.

Two crewmen coming off the lift were discussing a new Chief Engineer and she wondered how recently that had happened? She had so much to learn here, and she couldn’t wait to get started…

Ensign Winter got to the door of the Counselor’s Office and initiated the chime, taking note of her hair once more before doing so, and waited for a response…

- Dr. Winter, Ensign.
