Psychological evaluations, brain scans and reaction test. Rexars’ thoughts perused the myriad of likelihoods he was to encounter during his interview with the ship’s counselor. Expectedly he was anxious and rightly so as his previous character challenges were successful, he often found them difficult to interpret as they weren’t graded in levels of achievement. Something he could compare, something tangible. Exiting the turbolift the Andorian worked his way through the hurrying crew of the corridors and arrived to find himself stand before the doors of the office. Standing at attention, he bore his eyes into the console, chimed the door and briefly laboured over his own consternation.
I’ve succeeded all examinations, there’s no single reason this one could be any different. I’m here to do a job, and I will. If they’d just put a tricorder in hand.

“Enter!” a cheery voice sounded through the door’s comm.

Inside, the small office wasn’t oppressively so, and there was a sitting area (a small sofa and a couple slim armchairs) tucked on one side across from the desk where another chair was opposite where she worked. On the wall above the sitting area was a moderate sized painting that was clearly abstract with washes of yellows, blues and greys. Beside her desk was a large leafy dark green plant with a single stalk of trumpet shaped flowers in a vivid violet.

The Denobulan psychologist had her chair in front of the plant and she was busy trimming some of the lower leaves with a pair of small scissors. Lifting her head, she gave Omtala a smile bright enough to match her dyed pink hair. “Hello! Tell me who you are and go make yourself comfortable over there,” she said, gesturing to the sitting area.

Brushing the sweat from his palms along the seams of his pants Rexar stepped with purpose through the open doors of the counselors’ office. Dashing passed the furnishings to stand in front of the chair closest to the desk, Rexar was mesmerized. The swirling vibrances of the bizarre artwork provoked him into an acute nostalgia of Procyon over Andoria. At dawn, the star blazed over the Thran Mountain range, the Andorian hazed through the snow glittered peaks as beams of citrine light rolled down into the valley below. Rexars’ stomach turned as the rumble of avalanche bounded around in his mind while a cramp began to form in his jaw, stiffening his face into a stoic vision of rigorous order. As the thunderous rattle grew, he shut his eyes to think.

They were my friends. They gave me much. If I let this break me now, it was all for nothing. I must focus. I am in control.

Before him, the painting. An incoherent amalgam of colour in a nonuniform pattern designed to illicit a response, and it had. But that’s not what it was to him now. Although visually attractive, only the notion of its presence brought on a distinct curiosity he used to mask his sentiment as he threw a fleeting glance across its frame. Tipping his head down towards Lt. Com Liadra, he pushed out his next few words as they slowly became more fluid.

“CDT. Omtala, Rexar. Engineering department. Reporting for evaluation Ma’am.”

“Welcome to the Endeavour, Cadet Omtala,” Liadra said sincerely as she logged off of her terminal.

He stalled a moment to consider how to follow his introduction, and to gather his composure. Seating himself discretely, Rexar contained his conflicting emotions and placed his arms upon the chair.

“Thank you for seeing me Lieutenant Commander I appreciate your time. I just want to start by saying that this voyage is the culmination of my aspirations and I’m looking forward to its beginning.”

OOC: Beautiful post!
IC:
The pink-haired Denobulan moved around her desk and took a seat near him. He was certainly respectful and polite, which boded well for his interactions here on the ship. Sometimes cadets came from the classroom setting completely forgetting how things were supposed to work, but not all, and certainly not this one. “Tell me about those aspirations. I’m guessing they are engineering related?” Normally she wouldn’t lead the question that way, but in this case, there was a purpose at work.

Lt. Cmdr. Liadra, CNS

OOC:
Thank you for your compliment. I can tell your a very involved role-player and I appreciate your dedication.
IC:

“They are indeed, Ma’am.”

Rexar agreed with reservation as the question itself seem obvious beyond reproach. Then as he opened his mouth to answer he left it ajar for a second or two as he came to surmise he angle of interest. He druped his head in thought and sat deeper into the chaise. A languid smile was perched on Rexars’ face as he elevated his chin to a position over his shoulders. Staring through the ceiling panel for a time, he acquiesced a strained sigh and carefully aimed his eyes to meet the compassionate glimmer of Liadra. Fixing his posture to a standard befitting his own personal ethics, he folded his hands into his lap and comfortably returned to his plain faced gaze to answer properly the Denoblean doctor.

“In the consideration of my career that is to say. But the truth is I aspire to honour a memory. Both my mother’s were killed in service of Starfleet which gave me a sense of duty I’d never understood. As it had happened when I was quite young, I couldn’t comprehend their reasoning for dying. As though they’d done so in spite of me. When actually they sacrificed themselves to save the lives of 73 others. I chose to know them as they died. As exemplars of respect, courage and selflessness which I’ve decided to commit myself to wholeheartedly.”

Rexars’ words broke away from him with resounding intensity. As he spoke he began to lurch forward, his receptors arcing over as though they buckled under a heavy weight. His glassy, azure blue eyes narrowing further until only their shimmering reflection of the artificial lights was visible. His nose flared as he drew powerful breathes between the tremulousness of every pause. As he finished, a definable pride emanated from Rexar. His chest broadly inflated and his arms open over the chair, he came to discover with the widening of his eyes that his words were never truer. A tiny smirk rose from his left cheek to catch the bottom of his eye in admiration for the Doctors’ focused interrogative.

“I’m certain you would have made a fine engineer Ma’am. A diagnostic technician of the highest caliber as I’ve never been persuaded to speak in such a manner. A revealing moment for the both of us I must say. At least as far as I can grasp.”

CDT. Rexar Omtala. (Engineer)
