Stepping into the room Octavia took another breath in through her nose before speaking, “Commander Walker Sir. I’m Octavia Raain, I was hoping to speak to you about my position aboard the Ogawa and more specifically within the sickbay.” She didn’t elaborate further, waiting for an invitation that the chief of staff was willing to hear her out. It wasn’t a stretch for her request to be approved, she’d already done the hard work by passing her tests.

Brad looked up and saw the recently-joined young Trill girl standing before him.

“Cadet Raain, right? Alright, go ahead,” he said.

In hearing she wanted to correct him and say she was technically a Crewman even though yes she was still a Cadet at the Academy, it was a bit if a grey area and one for now she was willing to let go. “Yes sir, to get to the point as humans say I have passed my nursing exams and with just a few months left until I should be doing my academy flight which I’ve been given permission to do it aboard the Ogawa I’d like to ask for your endorsement to be posted to the Ogawa after my graduation. I was told that without one from at least a senior officer I could be posted to any number of ships” and she’d grown to like living on the Ogawa, it was her home.

“Sure,” Brad said. He had some concerns, but those could be discussed later. “What are you specializing in?” he asked.

“Molecular and cellular biology of viral and bacterial pathogenesis and parasitology. Sir.” She knew she could what her non-medical friends had dubbed ‘nerdy’ to the Chief of Staff, she figured he would have a good understanding of what she was talking about. “Basically Microbiology, Virology, and Parasitology they all encompass each other though can be significantly different if I were to simplify it further then infectious diseases. It’s probably one of the harder courses to pass but I have a passion for it.” Octavia went on to explain.

“Well it’s certainly not one of the easier courses in the catalogue,” Brad said. “And coincidentally, this staff has an opening for such a specialist.”

‘Especially after the debacle on the Starbase,’ he thought to himself.

“That should certainly grease the wheels for your post-graduate posting.”

Octavia tried, (poorly) to hide her excitement. She spoke through her smiled, “So does that me you’d consider endorsing my final bid?” She willed of Trill that the next words to come out of the older mans mouth was the simple three lettered ‘yes’.
