Kolar didn’t mind making the rounds when joining a new ship. It was all part of the process. His first stop after meeting with the security team was the counselor’s office. Straightening his uniform shirt, Kolar tapped the door chime and waited to be let in.

“Come in,” Nyman called from inside the door. It slide open to reveal his office, and fairly standard set up with a desk and a comfortable seating area, along with the slightly more unique and personal touches. Of which his pottery and ceramics collection along the back wall, and the aquarium for Maslow where the most noticeable. Nyman stood up from his desk and walked over, obviously prepared for the onboarding session.

“Lieutenant Balfor,” he addressed with a respectful nod, “Yes, I have been expecting you. You may have a seat if you would like,”

The counselor gestured toward the seating area, which had a few stools, an armchair, and a chez lounge.

“Before we get started, would you care for something to drink? Coffee, tea, or anything?”

“No, no thank you,” Balfor stated walking into the space and taking a seat in the armchair. This was not his first rodeo at a counselor’s check-in but after all the years in Starfleet, he had learned to enjoy them and not worry about them like most younger officers did. While it was a time for the counselor to get to know the new officers on the ship, it was also a time for Balfor to get to know someone on the ship.

Looking at the wall he gestured with a finger, “did you make them or do you collect them?”

“Oh, those?” he said, looking over his shoulder, “Yeah, most of them I’ve made myself. Except the ceramics, those are mostly gifts.”

Nyman paced over to one shelf. From between an intricately decorated clay pot and a displayed plate with a delicate blue design, he picked up a small ceramic sculpture of some sort of Earth animal.

“My brother loves antiques, so sometimes he’ll find something I’d like and send it over. This one, for example he just sent me. According to him, this one is from 20th century Earth. It represents an animal called, let see if I remember… a horse, I think?”

He admired it for a bit, a gentle smile coming across his face before setting it back down on the shelf,

“But enough about me,” Nyman said, redirecting. He took a seat on a stool across from Balfor,

“So, where do you want to start? Standard onboarding interview or something more specific?”
