The shuttle began its approach and through a porthole, a bald person, wearing long flowing robes of white which seemed to float on the air around them could be seen. When they moved and walked the material floated and twirled around them. On their feet, they wore sandals made from ropes of golden twine. Every finger had at least one gold ring on it, displaying several brightly colored rare gemstones. Their eyes were lined in black and their lips glistened. The smirk of mischief and the twinkle in their eyes, though tempered over the years, could never be completely extinguished. And while they were going to take their new career as Chief of Psychiatry on the magnificent new USS Ogawa seriously, they couldn’t promise that they weren’t going to have a ton of fun while doing so.

Docked inside the bay, Rollin floated down the ramp of the shuttle. They sat down their large gray hard-cased duffel. “Ah!” they breathed, a wide smile on their face. “Daddy’s home!” They looked around at the nearly empty shuttle bay. Not quite the welcome they had dreamed about, but rarely did anything live up to the Deltan’s fantasies. They spun and did a few pirouettes in the bay, their white chiffon robes spinning in a whirlpool around them. Laughing and giggling they pranced. Rollin could make a celebration out of any circumstance. They considered it their super-power.

=/\=Hello computer,=/\= they said, tapping the nearest panel. =/\=Could you please be so kind as to identify the whereabouts of Captain Willow Taylor.=/\= Rollin loved the named Willow. To them, it sounded very bohemian.

-Rollin, CoP

=^= System recognises crew entry 567, Chief of Psychiatry. Rollin. Good Afternoon, I am GALEN welcome to the Ogawa. Captain Taylor has been informed of your arrival and is en route to meet you.=^= the male voice of the Ogawa’s AI system replied.

True enough a few moments later the shuttle
Bay doors opened and in strode a woman with short, choppy red hair dressed in command colours. She was followed by an ensign, also in red with pure white skin, red cheeks and platinum blonde hair.

When she reached Rollin she gave a smile and offered a hand. “Forgive me! And welcome to the Ogawa I’m Captain Taylor, this is Ensign Charlie, she’s from HR.”

Ensign Charlie beamed all of her very white teeth at the newcomer and returned to furiously typing on her PaDD

GALEN/Willow/Charlie

Rollin was aghast at the beauty of the pair that strolled into the shuttle bay. “Ah, Captain! No apology necessary!” Rollin took the offered hand. Bending low they gave the offered hand a gentle kiss. “I know I am on the correct ship because the two of you,” they paused taking in the chic beauty of each, “are simply fabulous!” Rollin squealed and clapped their hands wildly. “So, you simply must tell me all of the gossip,” they said, linking one arm with the captain.

-Rollin, CoP

Momentarily speechless at the reaction Willow was quick to recover “Gossip? Uhh well…we are currently playing host to a film crew who want to interview everyone while we are on the way to a medical supplies mission and I think that’s it really!” She laughed.

From Rollin’s reaction, one would think that the captain just delivered the best news in the universe. “A film crew!” they exclaimed, finding the nearest reflective surface and checking out their appearance. “Here on the Ogawa! Nobody told me, had no idea. How wonderful!” They clapped their hands excitedly. “Will they be interviewing everyone? It’s been an eternity since I have appeared on camera. I am all a dither!” They were obviously excited.

Willow looked mildly speechless for a few moments. “Uhh..” was what she said. “I think so. I’m sure you.l get a spot if you’d like one, they seem to be rounding up folks.”

Rollin quickly recovered from the news and once again hooked an arm through the captain’s. “Come now, Captain! On a ship this grand there is bound to be some juicy tidbits to share. Of course, I’ll find out all of the best stuff through my work, but that’s no gossip. I would never betray doctor-client confidentiality. I am many things but unethical is not one of them. That doesn’t mean though that outside of the office I can’t partake in the very superficial, fun, non-damaging type of gossip. You know, who’s single, who’s dating, what so and so was seen wearing to the holodeck, that type of thing. You know,” Rolling flowed from one topic to the next without taking a breath, “we should throw some kind of soiree so everyone can get together and get to know one another. Are there any other new people aboard? Or am I the only one? Oh well, nothing says we can’t throw a party strictly for me to get to know everyone, I do love being the center of attention.” He started to walk with the captain toward the doors, leaving his bag for someone else to carry. “Now Captain, what should we do first?”

-Rollin, CoP

Ensign Charlie did indeed pick up the bag and carry it. Willow went along with her newest crew member. “There are a few new and returning faces yes. A party would be a good idea maybe once we get the mission completed of course. We could tour the psychiatric deck if you’d like?” She couldn’t help but grin at this idea, apparently the ship was still a huge point of excitement for her no matter how often she toured it.
