Erin’s body fell face up on the bed. She giggled. Looking at the dull ceiling of her quarters, she could not believe her eyes. She had made it! If two years prior someone had told her that, after leaving school she would be serving on board a starship as a Starfleet officer, she would never have believed them. Worse! She would have outright denied that she would even ever want to do that. Her place, she had known all along, was with the Federation Science Council.
Not anymore… she thought as a smile crossed her face. Sitting up, she rummaged through her bag looking for the PaDD that contained her orders. She was supposed to report in with her department head, Lt. Persephone Milestone, with Sickbay for her Medical, and with the Counselor for her Psychological Evaluation. A pang of nervousness hit her. She shook it off. If Molly had managed to do it, so could she.
Switching to her new uniform, Erin took a few moments to look at herself in the mirror. It was weird… but also exciting. For a moment, she rolled her hair up and held it in a ballerina bun, just like she had watched her sister do many times. Smiling, she shook her head and dropped it back into a ponytail.
Leaving her quarters, she made her way to Deck 6, and to the Chief Science Officer’s office, peeking into the labs as she went. Finally, standing in front of the door, Erin took a deep breath and pressed the chime.
Lt. (j.g.) Hazen, Science
Seph looked up and smiled. “You must be my new science officer. Come on in and have a seat.” She motioned to the chair opposite her desk. The room had a huge glass opening into the science area and a doorway that had no door. The containment room had been transformed into an office at some point and stayed that way. On the wall a huge board was covered in plasheets and diagrams of various star systems and the paths of ships thru them. It looked like a child’s map of how to get from point A to point B in a horrible ‘connect the dots’ kind of way.
There were containers and samples all over as if the office, itself, was a timeline of every scientific study, question or sample that had passed thru the ship in its time in space. Most had been there when Seph arrived, but a few, mostly those littering her desk, were from her own time there. “So… science minded, and driven. I like that… but tell me what I won’t find in your file.” She leaned back in her chair, stylus weaving absently between her fingers, as she looked at the woman before her.
