Posted Sept. 29, 2021, 6:16 p.m. by Cadet Kalos Onovren (Engineer) (Mason Marcy)
The loss of his father the previous week had left Kalos grief stricken. His father had served on the front lines during the dominion war and it had traumatized him so severely that 20 years later the PTSD had gotten the better of him.
The Service had been agonizing for Kalos, he was very close to his father and he was taking it very hard.
There were tears in the eyes of his mother and sister as he stepped back onto the transporter pad. He knew that his mother was worried she might loose Kalos in the service too, but kalos felt an obligation to follow where his father had led.
Kalos watched his family disappear in a blue haze as the transporter took hold and he dematerialized. The next thing he knew he was on board the challenger and stepping down off the transporter pad.
Walking to engineering Kalos couldn’t help but think of his father: he would be so proud to see his son going off to the academy. But Kalos felt somehow out of place. he hesitated before crossing the threshold into engineering, wondering if service was the right path for him, maybe he should have stayed in ship design. As soon as Kalos stepped into engineering all doubt left his mind, he could think about this later but from this moment foward he was on duty.

(OOC: thought it might be interesting to start a character off in a different state emotionally. not your normal eager cadet.)
