Posted by Lieutenant Commander Katie Nunn (Counselor) in CO’s Office - Reporting for Duty
Having completed her check in at Sickbay and her psychological evaluation clearance recorded in her service record, Katie made her way to the CO’s office. She hadn’t had as much time as she would have liked to study the records of each of the crew members, so she felt like she was going into this meeting blind. Of course, it had been a while since she had even met with the CO of a starship in the context of reporting for duty, so this was a new situation all around. She had chosen to wear her Starfleet uniform for the occasion, tucking a loose piece of hair back into her braid as she rang the door chime outside Harris’ office.

Harris was at work behind a pile of PaDDs that covered the large wooden desk, the wall behind him covered with diplomas and awards with the center of the display featuring the TopGun Trophy from his time as a pilot. The Marine was in the traditional Black & Green tunic befitting a senior grade officer of the Starfleet Marine Corps and as the CNS walked in, a striking pair of blue eyes flashed up in greeting and warm smile crossed the man’s face.

“Good morning…” He rose in greeting. “… how can I help you Commander?”

Katie’s own blue eyes met the CO’s, her friendly, inquisitive nature shining through. She walked into the office once the door was ajar and assumed a loose position of attention in front of the wooden desk. While she was happy to wear her Starfleet uniform, coming to a strict attention stance didn’t become the informality required of her position as counselor. She certainly looked crisp and dutiful, but it didn’t have that extra bit of pizazz some might include.

“Good morning, Colonel,” she replied politely. “I’m Lieutenant Commander Katie Nunn, your new counselor.” Her eyes took a few moments to glance around the room, digesting the evidence of the various parts of Harris’ service record on display and matching them up with what she had already reviewed.

His warm smile remaining on his ruggedly attractive face, Harris motioned to the chair across from him. “Wonderful… please grab a seat Counselor.”

As the Marine settled, he asked flatly the first question he always asked. “So, tell me about yourself, Commander.”
