Even after materializing aboard the USS Brian A. Olinski, M’rahja Ko couldn’t quite shake the awe and thrill of her first posting beyond the Academy. Every cadet on the Security track knew of the Olinski. Several of her academy cohorts had the single, passionate goal of being posted aboard this very ship. M’rahja had no posting goals, but neither had she imagined a posting here! The pressure to work hard and earn her place here rested upon her like a second skin. Maybe it mingled with her nerves as a fresh officer. She was an ensign now, and all the responsibilities that came with it.

She checked her appearance in the reflection of a blank computer screen. Her hair stayed in it’s tight braid and her uniform crisp and well-fitted. After taking a deep, calming breath, M’rahja Ko announced her presence by pressing the door chime and waited for permission to enter.

Yvasgard Sigundson was the officer in charge at the moment in the Security room. He looked at the new ensign and gave a gruff look. He was not a fan of new security officers or Caitians for that matter.

“Well stop standing there and get in here.” He said to her. Her tail unnerved him.

“I am Lt. jg Sigundson and as far as you know I am your new boss. Don’t waste my time and I will not waste yours.” He siad and snatched her PaDD from her hand. He checked it to make sure she was not some spy getting on board and saw it was in order.

“What are you good at Ensign other than pacing and purring.” He asked. He knew the CoS would want to meet her but he could care less. He had holes in his roster to fill as the duty officer.

Ko blinked, and held herself unnaturally still in the face of. . . whatever this was. Hostility? Unfriendliness? She didn’t have a name for it and she didn’t think she could ever find the right word. Ko stepped inside and moved to hand over her PaDD, only to have it snatched away instead. The Ensign blinked, but otherwise made no sound or protest. If it wasn’t for the slight twitch in her tail, she could have been mistaken for a statue in that moment.

“Plenty of things.” Ko said, her tone as flat as the floor they stood on. “I specialized in hand to hand combat and survival. I’m small but I had good teachers at the Academy and I know how to use my size to my advantage and I’m agile. I’m a practiced shot with any phaser or rifle. In short, put me in front of a hostile and I’ll know what to do.” Not to mention her claws, though not sharp, were still pointed enough to deal some damage if given the chance.

“Any green recruit can shoot and fight. That’s it?” He asked dismissively.

If the Ensign was thinking she was going to get the happy team meeting her she was in the wrong place. Sigundson was not a nice guy, most would not him at a family dinner but most would also say that he was good at what he did. Apparently in his past he had a negative encounter with a Caitian but it was not clear if he disliked them anymore than any other species.
