Embers smiled. “Well, I am sure this ship will be more than exciting for you, then. As for the Councilor, I didn’t know.” She shrugged and set her padd down and leaned back to relax, rocking her neck side to side to stretch it. “But it makes sense. I mean, he seems more the ‘capable’ kind than the ‘book worm’ kind. Don’t you think? I’ve only seen him a couple times when I had to.” She wrinkled her nose. “I’m not big on sharing my feelings, I guess. Been told I am a work driven individual with barely passable social connections.” She said the line like it was a diagnosis she was quoting. Then she laughed. “I guess it’s a polite way to say I am goal oriented and don’t have many friends.”

“He’s definitly not your typical Counselor,” Flynn agreed, “Though you should try being called ‘deflective and controlling’,” Flynn quoted back, and laughed, “I don’t like talking about myself either and that’s what I got for trying to change the topic. I don’t get why Counselors have to pry into every aspect of our lives in our evaluations. Being ambitions,” he inclied his head towards Embers, “Or being private shouldn’t be an issue, but they seem to think it is.” he shrugged, “Counselors don’t seem to like me that much. But if I’m being honest the feelings mutual.” he flashed Embers another smile, to show he was joking about the last sentence… well mostly joking.

Embers smiled back. “I don’t think anyone likes them, really. But think of it from a security point of view. We have to protect the ship and her crew. We carry phasers, train in combat and learn to see terrible. But he has to look out for our well being. And it’s not as easy as medical.”

She leaned forward and rested her arms on the table. “You know why medical is usually our first check in? Base lines. From transporters to medical history. The computers connect the baselines. When you left your last command, you were in a certain state of health and growth that will match your arrival here.” Her fingers tapped the table to indicate two points. “When you leave, your medical check out here,” she tapped again where she indicated ‘here’ was, “will match you boarding check up there.” Her other finger indicated a third spot.

Flynns eyes followed her fingers across the table as she tapped out the points. He nodded every now and again, indicating to Embers that he both understood and acknowledged what she was telling him.

“Councilors have to do the same thing with mentality. Are you as stable, or crazy,” she winked and made a goofy face, “as you were where you were last time? And if not… Then what happened? How does he did it? And how does he keep it from happening again?”

The girl leaned back and shrugged. “Probably the single hardest job on the ship, CO included.”

“They probably do,” Fraiser agreed seriously, “I know I couldn’t do it every day, just my evaluation this morning was enough to do my head in for one day. Why Lt. Com. Sinclair chose it over Security I’ll never know,” he smirked, “I can appreciate that their job is hard, but that still doesn’t mean I have to like Counselors.”

“So how long have you been on the ship for?” Flynn asked conversationally, wanting to move the conversation away from sympathy for Counselors while he was still unhappy about how his Psych evaluation went.

“I know there are plenty of reasons ‘I’ didn’t choose that profession, either.” Embers laughed and leaned back once more. “And we can just agree to dislike them together. How’s that?” She grinned and shrugged at his question. “It seems like forever. To be honest… long enough to see several new comers,” she winked teasing him once more. “But not long enough to see a new CO.”

It dawned on her they were focusing on her. She turned the tables on him… “So what kinds of things do you like to do when not running from councilors or the Security Chief?” She laughed and waited for his answer. It had been a long time since she’d made a friend. And this guy seemed like someone she could get used to being around.
