As the Lieutenant started to walk he then started to head to the counselors office. Waiting patiently, he then rang the chime to know if he was able to come in. He thought to himself “Stay calm Chase. Stay calm.” He said to himself and rang the chime. He stood there patiently.

Lieutenant Matthews -COO- (Chief Operations Officer)

There was the sound of hurried footsteps. Shortly afterward, the door opened and revealed the Chief Counselor behind. By appearance, a blonde human of average build about the same height as Lieutenant Matthews. He had been expecting Chase, waiting with a curious anticipation, and greeted him with a slight smile.

“Ah, yes, Lieutenant Matthews, come in please,” the counselor said, stepping aside and welcoming him into the office with a slight nod, “Please, find yourself somewhere comfortable.”

He indicated the seating area, a plush rug surrounded by a few different seating choices. An armchair, a chez lounge, and a few padded stools, were among the choices.

Chief Counselor|

“Thank you counselor. I must say you got a nice place here. How long have you been on board?” He asked.

“A few weeks,” Nyman replied, his statement intentionally vague. He watched the new officer closely. More than just out of curiosity about their hybrid nature. There was something about Matthews that made Nyman feel tense.

“Can I get you something to drink?”

|Lt. Nyman,
Chief Counselor|

“Water please Counselor.” As Matthews felt a little tense coming from Nyman. “Counselor. I don’t want to pry, but I can tell you have something tense towards me. Something I’m unfamiliar about. It’s it something to do with me that made you feel uneasy or is it because I asked you how long you have been on the ship? I may not be a betazoid but as half Vulcan and half human hybrid, I can consume some discomfort towards me. If I have said anything wrong or anything I am sorry.” He said.

“What? No, no everything’s fine.” he reassured,

“I’m sorry if I seem a little tense, it’s nothing you did… but I’m not really allowed to go into details, I’m sure you understand. I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable.”

Of course that was all just deflection. And knowing Matthews could sense this discomfort just made him more conscious of it, and more careful to try and conceal it. The statement was also somewhat true. Matthews hadn’t done anything, it was more his sudden arrival and lack of records beyond the bare minimum the triggered Nyman’s suspicious nature.

Still, the counselor tried to remain calm and do his job like he would with anyone else. He smiled politely, walked over to the replicator and retrieved two glasses of water. Then set them down on the end table near the seating area, allowing Lieutenant Matthews to pick which one to take.

|Lt. Nyman,
Chief Counselor|

“It’s okay Counselor. Anyways this meeting isn’t about you it’s about me. Is there anything you’d like to know about me?” He asked. “and thank you for the water.” He said afterwards.

“It’s no problem, you’re welcome,” the counselor responded, taking a seat, “We just have the standard questions to get through. Let’s start with, well, how do you feel about being assigned to the Leviathan?”
