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

“Seems like you’re always around when folks show up, eh Rand?” a voice spoke from nearby, a young woman walking into the scene. She winked at the yeoman, then smiled charmingly at E’usah. “Name’s Quinn. I’m sure Rand is super-duper busy, so I can show you around instead so she can get back to all her Yeoman duties.” Quinn leaned against the wall and looked at Rand expectantly, waiting for her answer. She took a moment to look over E’usah as well, a small tinge in the back of her mind. She looked… familiar. “Wait a second. E’usah?? I know you!”

E’usah. Of course. She’d been in the same year at the Academy.

Quinn Dagget

E’usah looked at the tall newcomer for a second, “Quinn, I remember you, you were having some trouble with the science courses back at the academy and they assigned me to tutor you.” E’usah ran over to Quinn and grabbed her hands excitedly, “It’s good to see you, how have you been, anything exciting happen ?” E’usah realized she was rambling again, but this was great, she and Quinn had developed a casual friendship back at the academy, and it was good to see someone she knew. Turning back to Rand, “If you don’t mind I would love for Quinn to show me around, Stellar Nav. classes don’t leave much time for socializing, and I haven’t seen her in a while. Maybe we could all meet later for a beverage of your choice ?”

E’usah - NAV

“Enjoy your reunion. En. E’usah, you’re due in medical in an hour. Deck 9 along with the galley and the recreation hall.” Rand turned and left.

Yeoman Rand

“Oh my god, that’s right!” Quinn grinned widely, pulling the Caitian into a quick hug before pulling away. She’d somewhat latched onto the younger Cadet when they’d been assigned together for the science tutoring. “This is amazing, I’m so glad we’re going to be working together. There’s so much energy on this ship it’s incredible!”

The question caused a simple shrug from the Helmsman. “Not much. Spent a couple years as a shuttle pilot and that was pretty dull. They just go down and up and down and up and nothing else. Don’t even know why they needed a Starfleet Officer for that job. But now I’m the Main Helmsman on a whole ship!! Wait a sec, wouldn’t that make you Nav? That’s what you were studying, right? Great Bird, that means we’ll literally be working right next to one another on the bridge!” Quinn jumped in the air, excited. “Okay, okay. Guess we need to find your quarters, right? Uh… hmm.”
