Taking the stylus, Leah signed where she needed to and offered the stylus back. “I don’t think it’s so much a hurry as Dr. Kreed being rather efficient. Besides we know each other and he knows I will see him promptly when I’m able.”

“Please led on, I’m excited to see my new home,” the short woman said, rolling from her toes to her heels and back. Her muscular body was compact and she walked to strong strides used to moving quickly from place to place, but she quickly fell into stride with the yeoman.

Rand led her out of the transporter room and toward a turbolift. She stepped on the lift, twisted a handle, “Deck 8,” and the lift took off.

Leah had fallen behind slightly for a moment, walking backward and turning in a circle, just taking the whole ship in. Transporter rooms were one thing, but the ship was another. There was almost something tangible she could feel about the place that was distinct from working on Earth. She had joined Rand with a slightly shepish smile.

“So hoe long have you been on the Sentinel?” she asked.

Oh dear she was the chatty type. Rand smiled at her though, “Two and half years, almost 3. I’ve been on board since she was christened.” Lift stopped to let on a pair of security officers who then got off on the next deck.

“When I joined Starfleet, I never expected to be on a ship. Maybe if I had stayed in a more general nursing practice, but my specialty is usually only needed in specific areas. But it’ll be nice to go back to other ares while I’m here as well.” Leah rocked a little on her toes, dispersing the slightly nervous energy.
