Posted by Ensign E’usah (Navigator) in First Assignment - Reporting aboard (Please chime in)
To say that E’usah was excited was a gross understatement, she was literally bouncing on the balls of her clawed feet as she stepped down from the transporter pad. This was her first assignment straight out of the academy and she was anxious to get started. She nearly headed into the passageway without her small carryall. She quickly ran back and grabbed it with her tail and transferred it to her left hand. She saw the transporter operator standing behind his console, “Excuse me, but where should I go first ?” The NE transporter chief looked up from his console, thinking <New Ensigns, she'll probably get lost and we'll never see her again> He stared at her for a moment, not noticing before the catlike features and the long tail, “Sorry Ma’am, you should probably head to medical first then to where ever they direct you from there.” E’usah tried to smile, but Caitian dentition made it look more like a snarl, “Thank you so much.” Her voice was soft with the purring lisp so common to her kind. She nearly ran out into the passageway, then realized she had no idea where medical was, she flagged down an approaching crewmember, “Excuse me............?”
The Transporter Chief merely shrugged his shoulders as the long tail disappeared around the corner and the door slid shut with a gentle hiss.

E’usah - Future Navigator

Rand came sliding into the transporter room and the chief just smirked. Rand was never late, but they had her hopping non stop lately. “Ah En E’usah! So sorry for being late. En Farquharson, captain and ship’s Yeoman. You can call me Rand. Welcome aboard.” She held out her hand, “If you’d like let’s get you settled. I just need you to sign here first.” She held out the PaDD and stylus, “Paperwork, it keeps the brass happy. All this says is that you safely arrived on board.” Then she passed over a computer data disk. “This includes your duty roster, your check-in meetings, a map of the ship, and other important information. Shall we go see your quarters first?”

Yeoman Rand

E’usah took the proferred hand and shook it gently, careful to keep her claws fully retracted, “Glad to meet you Rand”. She took the PaDD and quickly signed her short name. Handing the PaDD and stylus back, “I’d love to see my quarters, do you have any idea what our mission is, are you allowed to tell, what’s the Captain like ?” E’usah realized she was rambling and sat her carryall down, “I’m sorry Rand, it’s just this is my first assignment, and I’m so anxious to get started and want to do a really good job.” E’usah hoped that she and Rand could be friends and worried that she had offended her in some way with her nervous exuberance.
