Keep Calm and Wear Blue! The Arrival of the New CSO
As Verity materialized on the transporter pad, she wore a new science blue long sleeve dress uniform with solid black calf high boots, and her straightened sleek black hair, which reflected some light from the transporter bulbs, was fixed in a low intricately full braided bun that seemingly sat right on the nape of her neck. Beside her left foot, resting on the ground, was a standard issue Starfleet duffle bag which contained all of her belongings she deemed worthy to accompany her on the journey.
Verity had heard that she’d arrived just in time for a new mission and was feeling excited yet anxious at the same time. After a few moments of standing on the pad, she shook her shoulders, arms and hands in an attempt to get rid of the tingling feeling she aways felt when she went through the transporter. She didn’t fully trust them, as a person fearful of flying may not trust aircrafts, but she knew they were perfectly safe and it was the most logical and quickest way, if you were within the appropriate range, to jump from one destination to another. After all the science supported it!
“Whew!” She said with a gigantic smile on her face as she stooped over, lifted her bag off the floor, and approached the transporter operator with gleaming dark brown eyes. “Lieutenant Verity Aphelion reporting for duty. New Chief Science Officer here. I need to know where to drop this bag so I can get to work!”
V. Aphelion, CSO
