Posted by Ensign Jamie Wrona (Scientist) in Science Lab - Reporting in (Paging CSO!)
Having gotten a physical out of the way was a good diversion for the big hurdle in any new posting: meeting your superior officer. Jamie trusted his skills as a chemist, and more so, as a scientist, but despite all that, it was impossible not to notice a lingering sense of unease building as he approached the Wolverine’s lab. Taking deep breaths, holding them for moments as he made his way to the door, he stopped before it, and entered when the door opened. That sense of unease is partially why he was looking forward to a posting like this, on the Wolverine, anyways. There’s no sense in fearing it, Jamie hoped.

“Hello?” Jamie spoke as he entered, glancing about. His body tensed up, but just as quickly relaxed. For every lab accident he’s seen aboard a starship, he has to have experienced a thousand more moments of joy - and for as much as the moment felt turbulent, he was just happy to find ‘home’. His smile turned from one of uncertainty to one of confidence. He was ready. Probably.

Well, so long as he was able to find the Chief Scientific Officer, anyways.

-Ensign Jamie Wrona, Scientist

“Hello!” Commander Erin exclaimed, jumping up from behind one of the lab tables. “I hope I didn’t frighten you, Ensign,” Bryson said as he made his way around the table.

The XO paused for a moment to receive a PaDD from a passing NE, then turned his attention back to the new officer. “You must be one of the new transfers?” Commander Erin asked.

The First Officer stopped about two feet from the Ensign before glancing at the PaDD he was given. “I think Lieutenant Rhodes gets on duty within the next 20 minutes, but you’re more than welcome to wait here.” Bryson looked up from his PaDD and gestured to an empty stool near one of the tables.

Erin (XO)

Just as the XO gestured to the empty stool, the door behind the new Officer slid open again and a tall man, slightly taller than the XO even walked in carrying a gym bag that had the collar of a Science Blue shirt sticking out of it.

Wearing the Wolverine exercise tank top exposed the man’s arms which, on the left, appeared to have a a tattooed sleeve in black shaded ink running from his shoulder down to below his elbow. A closer look might reveal that the images were all different animals from Earth that appeared to be emerging from smoke, and a more discerning eye might see that they were not all the same hand that had done the tattoo work. The higher work did in fact look slightly more faded than the lower.

Once he stepped through the door he paused, striking pale blue eyes moving over the two of them and his face expressionless, a light beard neatly and tidily trimmed. His pose was ramrod straight, shoulders squared but somehow he made it look normal and casual, as if this was him. Which of course, it was. Looking between the two of them, he said nothing at first, just lifted the cup of coffee his left hand held and then placed that gym bag on one of the Science benches to the side of the door.

“Good morning,” he said as the coffee cup dropped from his lips, his voice carrying the distinct clipped tone of an upper class Englishman. “Getting an early start are we, Commander?” He nodded to Bryson then looked at the new man. “You must be our new Science Officer, welcome to the Wolverine.”
