Sharah hated that it took so long to adjust to the rhythms of a new ship. It was a horrible situation in which to make a good impression on her new department head and crew mates. So the only thing to do was to fall back on what had already worked. She spent time in the arboretum, she made sure she ate and stayed hydrated, and to hold the image of surfing strongly to the forefront, allowing the noise, the storm, to rage, but move around and through her and not concentrate on it…or at least try not too. At the end of the first half of her shift she got an official communication from the Academy, from Prof Barswenson. There was apparently a new plant for her research he thought she should look into. It just so happened that the small arboretum/hydroponics bay on board had one of the plants. She requested time in the chemistry lab and she was excited to see there was time after her shift.

She replicated a grilled cheese from the sickbay replicator before she left and spent only a few minutes in the arboretum collecting the sample she needed and then headed to the chemistry lab. She was concentrating on focus and her vision focused and what she needed to do when she got to the lab. Most importantly trying to keep the noise manageable for she’d have to cancel her time. She was not going to cause an accident because she got distracted.
