The first days on board a new vessel were always full of things to do, and yet, given her new promotion and job posting, Carnegie’s first few days on board the Olinski had been some of the busiest she’d ever experienced. They still didn’t come close to her first few days on board the Chimera three years prior, when then 2nd Lieutenant Thunderhawk had managed to dent the carrier’s bulkhead while docking his craft and Eleanor had had the dressing down of her life. All of that was past now.

It had only been when Carnegie had nudged the Sentinels crew to go do their checkups that she realized she hadn’t done hers either.

“The Counselor is Fleet, Ma’am! I wouldn’t mind going if it was a Marine one!”

“Yeah, I’d go see a Marine Counselor! I don’t trust Fleeters to do a good job on these psych evals!”

The complaints and protests had come in many forms but for the most part their gist was one and the same.

“You know Lady, if you want us to go through our Psych Evals, maybe you should set an example and do it first!”

Even after Sloan’s two glasses of whiskey and Eleanor’s five shots of vodka, her Flight Engineer’s reasoning was sound.

Carnegie sighed. “Fine…! I’ll set the example.”

And that was why Eleanor was standing in front of the door to the CNS’s office, proudly wearing her flight suit, clearly setting herself apart from the regular Starfleet crew. In a world were most vision problems could be corrected without issue, the pair of glasses that framed her eyes would make Carnegie an even weirder sight.

With a deep breath and a nod to no one in particular but herself, Eleanor pressed the chime and waited.

As Gibbs was sitting at his desk he heard his chime go off and was wondering who it was. He then pondered for a little bit and then said “Enter!” As his voice carried to the door where Carnegie could hear him. Not realizing that she was not a part of starfleet, it was different for him. Now knowing that, he looked at her assignment record.

After he saw her he said “Please come in and have a seat. What can I do for you?” He has asked her. His job as the counselor wasn’t as busy as the other departments so he basically stayed in his office until someone had an appointment or someone who needed their psych eval taken care of.

OOC: Just as an FYI, Marines are still very much part of Starfleet, much like in many countries today, where Marines tend to be part of the national Navy (and Starfleet would be the equivalent of a naval force). Yet, Marines tend to see themselves as a single large special forces group. :) – Joana

Walking into the Counselor’s office, Eleanor looked briefly around, curious about her surroundings. The way one kept their own space told much about the person living or working in it.

Sitting down on the offered seat, Carnegie smiled at the counselor. “Thank you, Lieutenant. I’m here for my psych eval.” Her smile faded slightly at the mention of the evaluation, but it was back almost instantly. “I should also apologize for the delay in having my crew doing the same. You know how it goes, people don’t like psychological evaluations.” She smiled apologetically and shrugged slightly. “I can’t speak for the other Squadrons, but I can assure you that once I’m done here, I’m expecting the whole crew of The Sentinels to come by to get their evals out of the way. You’ll have your hands full, that’s for sure.” Eleanor chuckled softly, hoping to break the ice.
