The next day, after adjusting her schedule to account for the fact that she was on light duty and not able to be on the bridge for now, Dira made her way to her appointment. Her conversation with Willow had relieved at least a little bit of her internal worries about how the crew would see her, and also reinforced their developing friendship. Some days she felt so adrift on this shift, just focused on work, but then she kept having moments where she could be reminded that she indeed had a place here. Zoi helped a great deal with that too. Just the thought of the woman made her smile.

PaDD in hand, Myqian stepped into the suite and checked in with reception, not bothering to sit, though she also avoided pacing. Her mind was working through some things that she had realized last night while journalling and she was curious to see if Surra saw the same connection she did.
