Posted by Lieutenant Junior Grade Avery Kent (Medical Officer) in New Arrival
Avery was out of breath from the run to the teleporter that would send her to the Chernov, her new assignment. When she entered the transporter room, she handed the man standing at the controls a PaDD that had her orders on it. While she worked to regain her breath and her voice, she saw him scan the words and then hand the PaDD back to her, smiling. “You don’t look out of shape, but you sure sound like you might be.”

She held out a finger to him, asking for a moment. Once the medical officer could take a deep breath and knew her voice would carry, she straightened up. “I’m not out of shape, actually. I was in my in my room on the station when I got notice that I was to report immediately to the ship. I wasn’t supposed to be there until tomorrow.” She’d had one hour to pack and get on board the ship as it was scheduled to leave space dock forthwith. That meant she’d been going at 100% for the last 45 minutes.

While stepping onto one of the pads, Avery palmed perspiration from her forehead. “Are you ready, Lt?” The NE asked.

She gave him a thumbs up with a big smile. Unlike a lot of people who didn’t like the sensation of their atoms splitting apart, Kent thought it felt like being tuned into a fizzy drink at the beginning and end of the action.

A few moments later, she appeared in the Chernov’s transporter room. An NELt was on duty. “Welcome to the ship. I was wondering if you were actually going to make it. They told me to keep an eye out for you but didn’t know if you’d have time to make the transition with such short notice.”

Avery chuckled, “I almost didn’t. Thanks for keeping watch.”

It was his turn to smile now. “Not a problem. Did you receive the packet with your quarters assignment and layout of the Chernov so you can find your DH?”

She swiped the screen on the handheld device. “It’s right here–looks like deck deck 5 to start with.” She stepped down from the transporter pad and readjusted the duffle on her back. “Hope to see you again.” With that, she headed for the doors. (OOC: I didn’t know if she was going to be met by someone since I’m just getting here.)

Locating her quarters, Avery dropped her duffle on the unclaimed bunk and then headed straight to Sickbay to introduce herself to the Chief Medical Officer there. She had no problem navigating her way there. Standing outside the doors, Avery took a deep breath, breathed it out and then smoothed her uniform. The next second, she was inside looking around at the place she’d be working for the forseeable future. Stepping up to one of the staff, she said, “Hello, I’m Lt Avery Kent, a new arrival. I’ve come to be evaluated and to meet Lt Symar and report in.”
