Chandel grinned.”Well, the best way to find out is to do a search on the database, see what catches your eye. Or if you like more physical pursuits why not book a holosuite and try sports or something like horseback riding. Something you have never done before. One of my favorite programs is a ride on the beach at sunset. It is very relaxing. Maybe you would like climbing, hang gliding or something more extreme like that.” She suggested.”I think you will surprise yourself and learn a bit more of yourself. Learning a new skill that you enjoy is very confidence building.”

“I like all of these ideas, Counselor, thank you,” Kate responded, her tone genuine and warm. “Although confidence isn’t really something I’ve struggled with in my life…” She said the last phrase with a laugh, hoping that it didn’t come across to narcissistic. Her career choices thus far had afforded her a healthy appreciation for the capabilities and limitations of both her body and her mind. “Is there anything else that you would like to discuss?” she asked, not intending to rush Chandel but curious if there were any other relevant topics that they needed to hit before the evaluation was complete.

Trent, SOO

Chandel grinned, quite enjoying the banter with the SOO.”Exam wise? No, not at all. I have quite enjoyed our conversation, Lieutenant. Maybe we’ll have to make some of those excursions together if they are not too extreme.” She offered as she rose to walk the SOO to the door.

“I would very much appreciate that,” Kate responded. “Just let me know any time you’re up for something and I would love to join you. It’s intimidating getting to know a new crew and I’ll take any company I can get.” She held out her hand to shake Chandel’s in a classic human gesture. “It was a pleasure to meet you, Counselor.”
