Shortly after arriving, T’Mor consulted her P.A.D.D. Under her notes was a checklist of the things she was told to do. It did make her a bit nervous to think about the bearings first impressions have on how people perceive you. “No,” she thought to herself. Calming down, distancing herself from the anxiety. She reminded herself, “No one will take you seriously if you don’t act like you are in control.”So, standing up tall, she went directly to report for duty. Finding the quickest route on her P.A.D.D., she stopped for nothing. After again gaining control over the mixture of excitement and anxiety, she calmly opened the door. Expecting to be noticed upon arriving, through perhaps not wanting to be, she said nothing at first.
The doors parted to reveal the primary science lab, its whites and greys gleaming with cleanliness. Worksurfaces intended for scientific equipment and apparatus lay bare, give or take a handful of PaDDs scattered here and there. Instead, what drew T’Mor’s attention was a large digital display spanning nearly the entire left hand wall of the lab. Across its surface equations and numbers had been neatly written, apparently by hand, and graphical simulations of stars and nebulae danced in the far corner. An additional, holographic display of a blue star hovered over the lab’s central workstation. As the cadet looked on, the head of a young woman sporting a bob of curly ginger hair poked out from behind it.
“Ah! Cadet T’Mor I presume?” the head inquired in a vivid Scottish accent. The image of the star blinked out of existence, revealing the CSO in full. “I’m Lieutenant McMorran. Welcome aboard the Challenger. Please, join me.” She gestured to a white desk nestled behind her at the back of the lab. An open seat waited invitingly as she made her own way to the chair on the far side of the desk and lowered herself into it.
Lt. J.G. Aili McMorran - CSO
OOC: Welcome to STF and to the Challenger! I’m Jamie and in this thread I’ll help you get started by giving you some pointers as to how the club works. :)
First of all, I’ve marked this section as OOC (out of character). This just allows us to speak out of character without any confusion. I see you’ve already written up a bit of a bio which is great, and you’ve nailed the past tense, 3rd person writing style first time! One note: we always ‘sign off’ our posts with a label briefly identifying our character and position, as I’ve done above. This helps keep it clear who’s posting where, especially in longer, slightly messier threads. Your’s would look something like: “Cadet T’Mor: Science”. You can tweak it to your heart’s content, so long as it gets the information across!
” Lieutenant McMorran, we meet at last,”
She sat down in the other chair, perfect posture with hands in her lap. Her small brown eyes once fixed rarely broke away from her commanding officer.
“I reviewed the crew roster beforehand. As I understand it you are the head of the Science Department.”
While her energetic demeanor was not typically associated with intelligence, at least from a Vulcan standpoint, none the less she was the Head of the Science department. Judging from the simulation she had appeared to be running, and the handwritten mathematics, she was quite intelligent.
“I am honored to have been accepted to join the Challenger. To me it is very remarkable, as this is my first time on a Federation Starship. The technology here is beyond adequate.” T’Mor scanned the room with her eyes for a brief moment before returning her attention to the Lieutenant.
Talking about this made her a bit excited, but again, she had to quell that as well.
