As Esther took her first steps aboard the Dauntless, she couldn’t help but smile in satisfaction. There was something just right about being on board a ship. It didn’t matter what ship she happened to be on, ships were home and after spending 18 hours on a shuttle craft just to Rendevous with the Dauntless she was more than relieved to be back in one again. Shuttlecrafts just weren’t the same, and she doubted she would ever really feel comfortable being on one. She prefered the larger, and more secure space of a larger vessal.

To save time she decided to make her way to the CO’s office to report in first, quickly adopting a confident gait. She had no idea where she was going, but she knew where she wanted to go, and for someone who’d lived on ships for as long as she’d been breathing it was essentially the same thing.

As she passed through the Command Center her keen eyes sought out the science consol that would be her bridge position. She walked with purpose, heading for the door that would typically lead to the CO’s ready room. Straightining the collar of her uniform she reached out and pressed the buzzer.
