Posted by Ensign Coryn Vinoda (Security) in Security Station Deck 4 (COS Office) - Checking In
The greatest portion of Coryn’s career had been spent as a NCO serving planet-side, so he still was not completely comfortable in the sanitary confines of a Starfleet vessel. The artificial lights felt too bright, and the recycled air felt dry and it lacked all of the character and “taste” that organic material added. It didn’t make things any better that his first shipboard posting was to be on the USS Wolverine which was a relatively small ship. He moved silently through the corridors of Deck 4 en route to the security station which would be his new home… sure he had a set of quarters where he had dropped off his belongings, but that little bunk room was not where he’d be spending most of his life.

Coryn had been on board less than an hour when he started making the customary rounds that everyone must make upon joining a new ship. His first stop was to the office of his boss the Chief of Security. He hadn’t taken the time yet to do his due diligence in researching those who he’d be working for or with. The Wolverine small size meant that the crew was diminutive as well, so the task would be simple enough once he’d finished the rounds.

The man approached the Security station and pressed the chime outside the door.

Vinoda Security

Alita had been reading the morning reports and had just set aside Vinoda’s file when the chime rang.

“Open…” she called automatically.

When the door opened Vinoda was greeted by the smell of fresh coffee and assorted pastries. Nothing replicated.

As the door slid open in front of him, Coryn caught himself unconsciously smoothing the front of his uniform and stopped the fidgeting to step forward into the office. The aromas that filled his nostrils were nothing like what he was leaving behind in the hallway. The scent coffee and confections wafted into the depths of his soul. Replicators generated the majority of Star-Fleet food, and while the machines did a fair job of emulating the taste of food they did not generate the soothing smells that real food produced. Vinoda’s posture visibly relaxed around his shoulders as did his expression around his eyes. For a moment, his mind threatened to take him into some far away memory though he suppressed that urge.

A moment later, Coryn’s eyes found the Chief at her desk. “Good morning sir.” He said in way of formal greeting, “Ensign Coryn Vinoda reporting for duty.”
OOC: If she prefer’s ma’am just let me know and I’ll know to fix it in the future.
Vinoda Sec

Alita rose to greet the ensign and was immediately reminded of her diminutive stature again. Why were all the women in her family so damned short? Or was the rest of the universe just tall she wondered.

“At ease and welcome to the Wolverine Ensign. Please help yourself and be seated. I’ll admit, I’ve just been going over your file and it is rather impressive but, I find it better coming from the source than Star Fleet records.”

ooc: Ma’am please.
