Koria stopped in front of the door and took a deep breath. She had always been much more comfortable around machines then with people, at least machines it was easy to tell when there was something wrong. But she had slowly come to accept that while she did get to work on these amazing ships, and mostly get to work with people who also appreciated the amazing engineering that went into them, a part of her job these days involved interacting with other people. Such as the Captain.

Closing her eyes for a second she took one more calming breath. As she reached over to tap the chime, she silently cursed herself for not actually bothering to check and see if the Captain was here. But her finger had a mind of its own, landing on the button and there was no turning back now.
