He grinned at her. “Not at all. That’s what these intro meetings are for, right? Oed Five has roughly 4 million people including the Starfleet officers assigned here. Most days you’ll be working out of the Complex here, organizing your team and dealing with patients in your own right. Some days you will be asked to be on the Centurion as we do patrols and training exercises. It might be a tiny ship, but it’s powerfully armed and we are a part of the Oed System’s defence.”

Mika nodded. It was a lot of people, but judging by what she’d read, she wasn’t too surprised. “In all parts of medicine, I like to remind my cadets, where would we be without our patients? Approach it with a positive attitude and even the busy days go a lot easier.”

Jonathan rested his arms on his desk. “I’m not going to sugar-coat it, Lieutenant, this is a busy post. People assume a backwater world will be boring but I assure you not only is a lot going on here all the time, but with the number officers and crew stationed here, we all have a lot to juggle. But I don’t want anyone burning themselves out, get settled and find your balance. Get outside the complex and our apartments and go explore. Oed’s an intriguing place.”

Mika grinned and leaned back. That was exactly what she had assumed. Apparently, she wasn’t alone in that assumption. Yet, she still felt as though she wouldn’t know how boring it would be, till she really got into it and going. Positive attitude, Mika. That’s not it. She chuckled and nodded, if Fayth really was here, there was no chance she’d let Mika get away with not exploring. “I’m sure I’ll get my fill of the sights.”

“Good,” McBride said with a crisp nod. “Now, any other questions I can answer before you go and settle in?” he asked. His experience here so far with the newcomers was that they learned more jumping into the mire than him talking over the facts. It was time to experience Oed and let things roll from there.

“Uhm, no, I don’t think I have anything else.” Mika smiled again, getting ready to stand from her seat. “If there’s nothing else, I’d like to start getting my things in order. And good to meet you, sir.”

McBride smiled. “It’s good to meet you as well, Lieutenant. Go on and do what you need to, and… welcome to Oed.” He almost tacked on a little warning but thought better of it. Oed tended to show you exactly what you needed to see (whether you wanted it or not) and it really wasn’t his place just now to interfere in that process for Mika.
