Having just wrapped up check-in and physical with the CMO, the Ensign soon found herself standing in front of the counselor’s office, her hand hesitated over the door’s module for a brief moment. Taking a small breath she tapped and brought her hands together behind her back as the door opened up to grant her entry. She scanned the room before her eyes settled on the woman whos pips and ownership of the space had Riari fairly certain she had found the Counselor she was looking for.

“Good Afternoon Lt. Gadi, ” Hovering her hand over her badge she gave a short little bow paired with an easy smile, “I am Ensign Riari Vaais, the new doctor assigned to the Dresden. I was told to come to you to check-in?” As she straightened up she pulled the datapad out from behind her back, the screen already set to her Star Fleet orders for placement on the ship. Taking a few more steps into the room, the door closed behind her, offering the instant privacy the Counseling room tended to require.

[OOC- Figured I should start this post up while waiting for posts in my CMO/Physical check-in. So I will just have to be vague about anything in that roleplay since this one will chronologically be after. Also, I don’t really understand how to categorize pre/main or sub sim yet. So If this is filed wrong sorry!]

OOC: This was a great first post. Usually these onboarding threads don’t over lap by much other than to say they have been completed or still need to be done.
So “Main-Sim” are threads that are part of the story that the GM is telling. A pre-sim is something that you control and you are stating that it happened before the events of the main sim. We don’t really use sub-sims here, but we do use “side-sims.” That indicates that this is a sim you are controlling (or maybe someone you are interacting with) and the events are happening around the same time as the main-sim. A post-sim indicates, again that you or another player are controlling the vents, and that it happens after the main sim. Pre, Side, and Post sims do NOT interefere with the story the GM is telling in the Main Sim. Main Sim is very everyone and you just jump in wherever you feel you fit. Pre, Side, and Post sims can be for everyone or just the people writing it. Usually some thing like [Open To All] or [TAG and a character’s name] appear in the thread title and will tell who those are for.
Seem like a lot, I know. And don’t be afraid to have multiple threads in different time lines. And if you have questions, just ask. Here or by email, or Discord if you have it.
Welcome aboard!

Lt. Gadi looked up from where she was on the floor of her office. She stood up and walked over offering her hand. “Welcome aboard Ensign Riari Vaais. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” She waited for the PaDD and then glancing over the information, sent the psychological file to herself, acknowledged receipt of it, and that Vaais had reported for her eval and handed it back. “I just arrived 3 days ago myself. Come in and have a seat. Would you like anything to drink?” Bethany moved over to where she had been and Vaais would notice a small fence about 10 inches high in a circle on the floor. Inside the area is a small greyish, slightly brown, Mini Rex rabbit. Bethany grins. “Apparently it’s okay to have your dog with you while you work, so I brought my rabbit.” She ensures the fence is closed and then comes over to sit down in a chair across from Vaais. “How was your trip out?”
Lt. Gadi, CNS

Maybe it was the ridiculousness of an earth mammal bounding happily around its pen in a federation ship, or the easy kindness of the woman who owned it, but tension Riari was not aware she was holding loosened and her smile became genuine. She retrieved the offered PaDD and settled it across one thigh as she crossed one leg over the other at the knee. “That is fascinating, I have never seen one in real life, just some pictures of one. A fellow cadet at the academy had one back home and showed me a picture one time. His was white with red eyes that looked rather sinister, but he assured me it was a gentle creature.” Her lips twitched at the corners and she bobbed her head once before meeting Lt. Gadi’s eyes.

“A Raktejino would not be unwelcome, honestly I never seem able to eat much on the first day.” Her hand lightly pressed over her stomach, and whether she was referring to her own body or a quirk of Vaais passed down through hosts one could not be certain. “Nerves perhaps.” She laughed softly at herself and with a cant of her head turned her attention back fully on the Counselor. “A new arrival as well? How are you liking the Dresden? Is she a fine ship and crew?”

Bethany ordered her a Raktejino from the replicator and brought it over to her, and resumed her seat. “You’re welcome to get up close and personal with her. She likes people. I let her have run of the room earlier, but she liked the carpet, so I put her back. I don’t think engineering would like having to replace my office carpet because Luna ate it.” Gadi nodded, “A new place, new position, new staff. It can make it hard to settle enough to eat. It’s exciting and nerve wracking at the same time. So far I really like the Dresden. The crew is very eclectic. Everyone I’ve met so far is very unique and have positive personalities.” And they did, even if they didn’t like her. It wasn’t a requirement, in Bethany’s book, for you to like her, for Bethany to be fair in her assessment.

“The trip out wasn’t bad, I think the transport has probably seen some better years but it got me here in one piece, and that is good enough for me. You know how it goes, When you have a million cogs running in the machine, only the squeaky wheel gets the oil. But mark me, that ship will be decommissioned or pulled from service for repairs before the year it out. But I suppose I work on bodies not ships so. What do I know.” She smirked a little easing back into the chair.

“Oh yes, those transports often scare me. I’m never sure if I’ll make it or not. But the crews are always so protective of those ships and each other. So, En, where were you stationed before this?”
Lt. Gadi, CNS

Riari took the mug with both hands, her expression peaceful as the welcome warmth suffused from ceramic to palms. She brought the drink just below her slightly downturned face to smell the steam that was drifting upward and dancing on the climate-controlled cooler air of the office. She breathed out a happy sigh before taking another breath in to blow across the hot surface, then finally took a tentative sip, visibly relaxing like the drink was a miracle drug.

Her appreciation ritual of the caffeinated liquid complete she nodded to the LT. “Thank you, I will take you up on that when I am not holding a hot glass of liquid of course.” The Trill smiles and shifted her hand so her fingers were laced in the handle, the other now free hand pressing lightly over her PaDD.

At the question of her previous station, her expression fell briefly, just for a moment, gone again as quickly as it came, and a feeling of sadness lay under the surface, easy enough for a betazoid to read. “Ah, The U.S.S. Sarengi was my last deployment.” An ill-fated ship who less than an earthen year ago was all but destroyed by a saboteur. A look into the Ensign’s records would mention she was one of the twenty percent of the ship’s crew to survive a bombing in the ship’s cores, an event that thrust Riari into possession of the Symbiont Vaais after the previous host was mortally wounded.

As her eyes cast onto the lightly trembling surface of her Raktejino, a remembered feeling of a ship much like this one shaking as if thrown about by the hand of a frustrated child. A world crumbling around her, and the yelling all around her. Then it is gone. Stored away and compartmentalized a soft chant replacing the memory should the Lt. be gifted in the telepathic arts of her people, a sense of calm replacing a sense of fear should they just be of the empathic variety.

Bethany could feel the fear and then the calm. Normally this was abnormal because Bethany didn’t like to use those gifts, but strength of the sudden fear caught her off guard. She firmly walled her empathy away. She didn’t like working with it. It gave her an edge, but it felt like cheating rather than getting to know someone in a genuine manner. Growing up on Earth had a lot to do with that. “I heard about the U.S.S. Sarengi. It was so tragic. How are you doing En?” Bethany knew about the loss of the crew, but not having read Riari’s record yet she wouldn’t know about the sudden joining.

“What about you Lt. Gadi? Where did you serve before this?” A gentle smile followed by a sip.

-Ensign Riari Vaais

Bethany smiled, “Well I was assigned to my department at Command, but I spent a lot of time going from ship to ship, or outpost, wherever they felt I was needed.” It was vague and she hated that, but the people she worked with were on assignment that had a high security clearance. There wasn’t much she could safely say. “But right before here, I was actually on Earth.”
Lt. Gadi, CNS

“Ah well, the damage to my body was nothing that couldn’t be fixed up.” Her hand moved to clasp over her left shoulder. “Took a bit of shrapnel, and sometimes it aches, but I think that might be more psychosomatic than lingering internal damage.” She took another gulp of the coffee, no longer at a sipping temperature, and set the mug down on a small table in the room. She stood and moved over the Rabbits pen and knelt near a side closest to the foreign creature. “Earth huh?”

The Ensign fixed her gaze upon the small innocent creature, and with an elbow on one knee, rested her chin on her fist as she watched the small twitching nose. “Is that were you obtained this…” She paused recalling the animal’s species name, “Rabbit? Hello there Luna, my name is Riari, nice to meet you.”
