Ella’s eyes followed the tricorder as to her the chief medical officer made random paterns around her body. “I did my Cadet flight on the USS Endeavour.” She answered simply before realising that it didnt hold much detail. “It was meant to be a supply mission to alpha centuri but after hearing a distress signal from a civilian freighter it turned into a lot more as im told the cadet cruises do.”
OOC: I chose the endeavour because i didn’t do the academy. So thought for the ability to make up a plot and characters it would be better than a manned ship.

“They usually do,” Natasha laughed. “The training exercise I remember most from the academy was when Dante and I got stranded on a volcanic moon with one respirator. It was not epic but it got the blood pumping. So we don’t get a lot of Elasian’s in Starfleet. What made you join up,” she asked looking at the reading on the tricorder and making some notes on the PaDD.

OCC: Anything to note from the scan?”
Ella watched as the doctor spoke, keeping one eye on her and the other on the medical instruments around her. She knew she was in good shape, healthy in mind body and soul as they said on Earth and that nothing would show up on her instruments so wasn’t worried about that. Ella was however worried about that question that kept coming up. The ‘Why did you join Starfleet’ question. “I’ve been asked that a few times now and every time I find it more difficult to answer, I thought I was joining to enhance myself and grow out of my heritage. My people, the Elysian’s, we are a difficult bunch I know but someone reminded me that I shouldn’t abandon my heritage so I think for the only true answer is to just go through each day and know I didn’t waste it. Sorry, it probably not the answer you wanted.”

“Nope it is as good as any,” Natasha read the results of the scan as normal and checked off boxes rapidly. At this point she could do a check-in blind when someone as healthy as Ella came through her door. “I thought I was joining to get out of Siberia because who really wants to live Siberia,” she laughed happily with a silly smirk on her face. “I am pretty sure forty-five thousand years ago the only reason the first inhabitants set up camp there was because the man leading the migration across the Bering Land Bridge took a left instead of a right. After I got to the academy I stayed in because of a guy and spent the next fifteen years of my life waiting for us to get assigned together,” Natasha shrugged. “There are no right or wrong reasons for joining. The more important question is are you satisfied with the life you chose,” she looked up at Lokaa waiting for an answer. If the cadet took the question as rhetorical Natasha would be okay with that. If she wanted to share more that was perfectly fine too. Bedside manner in sickbay was a tricky thing. You never wanted someone to feel pressured to talk but you didn’t want them to feel like they were just Ensign 24601.
