It had been a very long first day. The shuttle had arrived late last night and Sharah had been up early to get started on her check-ins. Most everything was a blur. The only easy thing about the day had been finding everything. Two discovery class ships in a row–she was pretty sure that was a fluke of Star Fleet planning. Sharah was done for the day, but she just didn’t feel like going back to sit in her quarters. She didn’t feel like a huge press of people to deal with either. She took a deep breath and sucked it up. She headed for the mess hall. She wasn’t going to figure out the mental ocean of Europa if she didn’t make the effort. She entered the mess hall and joined the line for food. She choose grilled cheese and ice water. She took her tray and choose a table along the wall near the door. Contingency plans: If it got to be too much she could quietly leave. There weren’t a lot of people there yet, but it was filling up as other crew members came in to eat either after their shift or before. She ate slowly analyzing the ebb and flow of the thoughts and feelings around her and carefully working her way to a point where she could hear it, but ignore the specifics.
After awhile she opened the chess program on her PaDD, using the game as a focus to help her continue to mentally maneuver the room.
