Carmen turned around, offering her hand towards her the Lieutenant. “I’m Cadet Parker-Cawlyns, sir, but that is a bit of a mouthful. You can call me Carmen.” she said with a smile, and then glanced over at Maddie. “I’m sure that Maddie here will end up CSO long before I’m the head of medical. I read her resume, she’s got a PhD and two masters already.” she said playfully. She picked up her meal, having already received the french-dip sandwich and lemonade she had ordered a minute ago, and moved to sit next to the older cadet.
“How long have you been on the Challenger, sir? Do you like spending your days keeping unruly cadets in order?”-Cadet Parker-Cawlyns (Medical)
Kyle sniggered, but tried to keep a straight face, “If I wasn’t in a good mood Cadet, I’d report you to Lieutenant T’Saie for that.” He glanced quickly at Cadet Marsh and winked, “I’ve been serving aboard for about ten months now, I expect I’ll be moving off quite soon.”
-Lieutenant Kyle Anders: Chief of Security-
Maddie grinned in response to Carmen’s comments about becoming a CSO. “Only time will tell Carmen. Howeve,r there is more to being a CSO than simply acquiring degrees. Leadership ability and the delivery of results play a crucial role as well.” She kindly advises her new friend. Maddie then furrows her eyebrows for a moment appearing slightly confused and curious at the same time after hearing about the Lieutenant’s potential departure from the Challenger. “Why do you expect to be moving off so soon Lieutenant?”
-Cadet Marsh (Science)
“You never know when adventure may call out to you Cadet.” Kyle grinned and winked at the young medic.
-Lieutenant Kyle Anders: Chief of Security-
“I’m sure spending all day babysitting security cadets would make anything call out to you.” she said, returning Kyle’s smile. “But you seem to be doing a good job, sir, I haven’t gotten a seriously injured Security officer my whole time on board. Sickbay is practically empty.” Carmen didn’t mind a quiet sickbay, even if she did get occasionally bored. “As for myself, I prefer to stay away from the adventure. You need somebody to patch everyone up when you’re done.”
“However,” she said wistfully. “I wouldn’t mind going out on an exploratory mission, as long as I’m not on the away team. See planets and stars far away from the center of the federation.”
“What about you, Maddie? Where would you want to go, after you graduate?”
