Ensign Matthias was still unsure as to why all new crew members on a starship had to go and meet with the counselor. If they thought he wasn’t mentally capable of performing wouldn’t they have knocked him back while at the Academy?

He shrugged to himself as he drew closer to the Counselor’s office. He had heard that the Counselor was a Vulcan, which he hadn’t heard of before but they must be good to be serving on the Viking. Taking a deep breath he tried to clear his mind of any negative thoughts and again, mainly due to politeness, knocked on the door.
