Kay momentarily looked taken aback at Paron’s words, but quickly, her lips turned up in a pleasant smile as she realized that her dark mood had impacted the young officer in front of her.

“Oh no, Lieutenant, it’s fine,” she replied, her soft voice confident. She was dressed in a Starfleet uniform featuring the teal of medical with her Lt Cmdr pips shining brightly on her collar. Her dark brown hair was neatly pulled back and she had the deep black eyes typical of a Betazoid. Her office was still quite utilitarian and impersonal, showing that she hadn’t had much time to get unpacked yet. Two standard issue Starfleet chairs stood, one on each side of the functional desk. Empty shelves decorated one wall and a small sitting area had two more comfortable looking easy chairs with a small table in between them.

“Please come in,” Kay continued. “Let’s get you all cleared for duty so that we can both get acclimated to a new ship.” Her voice was friendly, but at the same time, quiet and firm. “Do take a seat,” she instructed, anticipating that she would adjust her own seated position to whichever option the COS chose.

Paron took the seat closer to the door. “Both? Then we’re both new,” He responded with a soft smile. Sitting up with his back straight, he let the counsellor also sit down before he began. He always found the counsellors the hardest to read the intentions of, but that was their job. As a security officer, he always had to take everything that was said during an interview with crew members into consideration and work out whether they were hiding anything. He found that was always the most difficult to do with the counsellors of his ship, even though it had become a sort of habit of his to assess every situation and be prepared at any time for anything to happen, sometimes to the detriment of not getting the full enjoyment out of recreational activities that his previous posting had held.

Kaylee nodded an affirmation to Paron’s observation about them both being new. “That’s right,” she replied, moving to sit near the young lieutenant. “I just came aboard myself so we’re both equally in the dark regarding how the Endeavour does things.” The corners of her lips turned up in a small smile. “I admit that, as a result, I haven’t had time to take a look at crew service records like I normally would. The change of station was actually a bit of a surprise. Why don’t you tell me a little about yourself?” Her shrewd eyes kept a careful watch on him as he responded, but not in a way that would feel too much like an interrogation. It was clear that she had done this before and she was very good at her job. She could sense a touch of discomfort and that wasn’t particularly surprising to her; it was rare that crew members seemed to be at ease and interested in the completion of a psych eval.

Torias nodded and gave a slight smile as the counsellor explained her own current situation. “Well, I’ve always been a bit of a risk taker, I guess. When I was a child, I was a bit of an adrenaline junkie and got to see some beautiful sites after some dangerous climbs. I also have a habit of being the one who tries to keep others out of danger, even if that means it makes me the one in danger. Of course, now being promoted to a department head, that attitude might have to change slightly.

During my time training for joining, it became apparent that I was to… quick to put myself between danger and those I served with, especially when I was involved in a shuttle accident - it was one too many dangerous situations for them to consider me as a host. For that reason, they decided that I wouldn’t be suitable. I don’t blame them, to be honest. If anything, I think they actually made the right decision, looking back. Now, I can focus on providing security to the ship I serve without having to worry about protecting someone else above that. In a way, it had worked in my favour. From there, I joined the Academy, served on the USS Valiant as a Security officer, then that brings us to now,” he concluded with a slight smile.

Kay smiled as Paron gave her a summary that she’d heard from many security officers during her time in Starfleet. There did seem to be a type that filled that department, perhaps more so than any other one. She jotted a few notes down on a PaDD nearby and then queried, “I hear that you agree with the decision regarding not considering you as a host, but how does that make you feel? Do you have any regrets about your chosen career path in that sense?”
