After her medical checkup, Katherine Pierce sent her daughter to start moving into their new quarters, while she made her way towards the Counselor’s office. Naturally, she got slightly lost, but after a quick sidetrip to Decks 13, 31, and Tijuana, she finally approached the counselor’s office, margarita in her hands.

“¡Hola! Anyone home?” she asked, tapping on the door.

Ashley was stood by the window reading something on a padd when heard the knock on the door. She turned to face them and gave a smile. “Yes, Please come in.” She noted the drink in the woman’s hand and gave a questioning look before making her way over to her none standard chair behind her desk using her black cane.

Ashley (CNS)

Pierce took a sip of her drink as she entered, giggling a little. “Oh, nice place! I think I was supposed to talk to someone about something inside my head? It’s kinda weird actually because I everyone mostly tells me I don’t got nothing in there but I’m pretty sure I do cause when I put a flashlight to this ear almost no light comes out the other side, right? Anyway, it isn’t rattling around in there so it’s probably stuck in there pretty tight, but it don’t seem to be causing no harm anyway!” She took a gasping breath, having exhausted her previous one, and plopped her little rump in a chair. “Did you know that Mexico has a border with Engineering?”

-Lt Pierce, COS

Ashley sat back in her chair and crossed her arms. She didn’t say anything just watched the woman deciding if this was a bad joke of if this woman was truly like this. If that was the case Ashley would have to give it a long hard look to see if this woman was fit for duty. Something that she would hate to do knowing full well that if she declared her unfit on mental grounds it could damage this woman’s career.

After a few seconds she decided to give her a chance. Ashley unfolded her arms and sat forward in her chair looking right at the woman before her. “Now why don’t we start with your name?” She said in a calm but cold tone showing she was in no mood for games.

Ashley (CNS)

Katherine squinted a little. “My name? Oh, sorry, I should totally have introduced myself. Lieutenant Katherine F. Pierce, but I usually go by Kat or Katty.” Her legs slowly kicked a bit, not quite reaching the ground from her seated position. “I’m sorry, I didn’t catch yours.”

-Kat Pierce, COS

Ashley made a note on a padd to remind her to look up the persons record when she had time, then looked back at Katherine. “I am Lt Farchild, but please call me Ash here.”

Ashley looked over at the glass with Katherine. “So Kat may I ask what the occasion is? Or is this the normal way you check in the Councillor?”

Ashley (CNS)

Kat’s head swiveled around, panicky suddenly. “Occasion? Occasion?! Oh shoot what did I forget! It’s not Christmas, or Bat’leth day! Um… Easter? No, no, thats on a Sunday. Tal-Shanar? No, you’re not Vulcan. Oh shoot what occasion did I forget?”

-Kat

Ashley gave a smile. “I am unaware of any occasion. I am just trying to understand why you think it is ok for you to turn up here for your mental review with a drink in your hand? I also would like to understand if there is a problem we need to look into with drinking. After all you are head of security. If you have a drinking problem I need to be aware of it.”

Ashley (CNS)

Kat looked at the glass in her hand, dawning horror crossing her face. “Oh. Oh. Oh! Oh, no no nonono, I hardly ever even drink, honest! I was just down in the lower decks and, well, everyone was having fun down there and… um…” She frowned. “I didn’t even think about it, I’m sorry. Oh wow.” She carefully set the drink down.

-Kat

Ashley sat back and gave a smile. “I was a marine. I enjoy a drink as much as the next person. We can over look it. Just don’t make it a habit if you do I will expect an invite to the party.”

Askley (CNS)

Kat relaxed a little. “Agreed. Don’t expect too many invites, I don’t dare keep anything like this in my quarters. Not with a teenager living there.” She stretched her arms, shaking them a bit before returning them to her armrests. “So…”

-Kat

Ashley slide her pads to a side then looked up at Kat and gave a smile. “I guess the first thing is to ask how you are settling in?”

Ashley cns

“So far, so good, I guess,” Kat said. “I mean, it’s always a little bit of a funny time when you get assigned to a new ship, a crew that all knows each other mostly but you’re the new girl, right? But so far I think I’ve felt pretty welcome here.”

-Kat

Ashley gives a nod and smiled. “I guess you are right.” She sits forwards a bit. “What do you think your biggest challenge is going to be here?”

Ash (CNS)

Kat blew a small blast of air straight up, ruffling her bangs. “Probably keeping my daughter from taking the damn ship apart. She’s been on a ‘lets take everything apart’ kick lately. Tricorders. Audio equipment. Luckily my phaser is always physically on me otherwise…” She stopped, and checked her belt, then breathed a sigh of relief. Then she continued. “She’s half Tellarite, and she met her first Tellarites on our last assignment. Where she was convinced she must be a natural born Engineer. Disassembly, she’s mastered. Reassembly, not so much.”

-Kat

“It is a good sign. She is exploring the world around her.” Ashley opened a draw on her desk and routes around for a seconds before finding what she is looking for. “Here we are.” She takes out a data chip and offers it to Kat. “This is a holo programme of mine. Its basic but fun. Its a mock up of the old NX engine room. She can take things apart and it will not do any damage.”

Ashley (CNS)

“That’s… not a bad idea! Thanks!” Kat smiled broadly as she accepted the chip. “As long as she decides to take apart a warp 5 engine, she’s not taking apart a real one. Maybe it will get it out of her system anyway!” Her posture relaxed, and she brushed some of her bangs around with her hand. “When I was her age, I just wanted to be a chef. And an adult dancer… but mostly a chef!”
