Posted by Fleet Captain Drudoc Andone (Commanding Officer) in Side Sim - Ready Room - Meeting the big boss
[snip]The ready room like much of the Mythology class Ark Angel was plush and open. Things of note was an exotic looking shrine of sorts in one corner which looked almost religious in nature of some Romulan faith of their culture or belief. Another wall held a rack of models of past ships the Fleet Captain Andone had served upon. The most recent in the line was of course the Mythology class Ark Angel from 2390-present, followed then by a Mjolnir class dreadnought Ark Angel from 2387-2390, with a Maverick class dreadnought USS Rogue being next from 2382-2385, before lastly a small Romulan scout ship called the Be’chet being the last from 2373-2378. The last thing of note was a large piranha like Romulan fish swimming in a fish tank to her right its sharp teeth and eagerness to rend flesh evident.
Something which the Captain seemed to soothe the fish beast by trickling in bits of fresh meat into the water which it snapped up eagerly swimming around. “..Dont mind, Betu, it was his feeding time..” Drudoc said. “..Come in Ensign take a seat, can I offer you a drink?” she asked.

Kala did as ordered taking in her surroundings in one quick glance, the room was every bit to Kala as Romulan was with its trophies and weird fish thing. At least it had character she had thought. Moving to take an empty seat opposite the Captains desk she thought about the question before saying “I wouldn’t mind a lemon tonic and water please.” Sitting with her arms resting on her lap she waited for the Captain to return.
~Ens. Kala GorvelDrudoc ordered the requested drink and offered it over. Taking her seat, she clasped her hands before her on the table top. “..So Ensign what brings you out to the frontier? Usually most freshly graduated cadets I have met prefer staying on the interior of Federation space to get their feet wet..” She asked.

Taking it Kala held the mug between the two of her hands and resting lightly on her lap. “I didn’t think it mattered, here or as far as Alpha Centauri. At least out here on the frontier, there are new things to discover, that and my family issues meant I had no ties to worry about” She responded truly, there was no point in lying her counselor sessions had taught her that much.
~Ens. Kala GorvelDrudoc nodded a bit thoughtfully. “..What do you see as one or more of your personal goals while assigned to this ship?” She asked.

That was no easy question for Kala to answer, she had been asked it a number of times during her period at the Academy and now she was answering again to a new face. “I want to find out who I am, I want to ‘test my metal’ as people say but I think mostly I just want to be proud of myself, work through my mistakes and create lasting friendships with my crewmates. Professionally, however, I want to eventually become Chief Science Officer and then further myself and my career” She said smiling as if to finalize her comment hoping not to sound too rude.
~Ens. Kala GorvelDrudoc nodded seeming to approve of the stated goals. “..Laudable goals ensign. I am sure given time you will realize them. My advice to you is dont rush to achieve them, good things come to those who are patient..” She stated looking at a PADD then she added. “..I see here you did an understudy at the Daystrom Institute, what did you study if I may ask?” She said.
Drudoc Andone CO
Sitting a little taller clearly proud of her understudy she said “It was mostly Theoretical Physics and advanced robotics, though i prefer botanical studies” Kala radiated pride and passion for the aforementioned topics.
