There was one thing for certain as Ensign Thalia Wächter stepped onto the USS Sentinel for the first time: She was pretty nervous. And considering it was her first ship assignment since graduating from the Academy a year ago, she had every right to be nervous. But Thalia tried her best not to let it show because there’s a saying in her home country of Germany: Man muss die Dinge nehmen, wie sie kommen. This translates to “You have to take things the way they come.” Yeah, being nervous on the first day is perfectly normal. You just can’t let those nerves hold you back. So Thalia took a deep breath and started looking for the CoS’s office.

Problem was she couldn’t find a map nearby. So she found a fellow crewmmate walking down the hall and got their attention. “Entschuldigung-” she stopped herself, realizing that she was still in German mode from spending time with her father before she left. “Excuse me, do you know where I can find a map around here? I’m trying to find the Chief of Security’s office. It’s my first day,” she said. They pointed towards the opposite wall where a map could be found. “Right over there,” they said. “Can’t believe I missed that. Thank you,” Thalia said as she consulted the map before taking the nearest turbolift to Deck 5.

Having finally reached the CoS’s office, Thalia took a deep breath before stepping through the door, standing at attention and saluting as her father advised her to do. “Ensign Thalia Wächter reporting for duty,” she said.

In front of Thalia sat a man, tapping his finger on a computer on his desk; when the young woman announced herself, he looked up with a warm smile and said: “Ahh, good morning Ensign.... Wachter, isn’t it?” He stood, revealing the full extent of his medium build and slicked back auburn hair; extending a hand, Marcus added, “Have a seat, can I get you anything?”

Thalia gave a smile of her own before accepting Lieutenant Anders’s handshake. “Yes, Thalia Wächter. If it makes it any easier for you, my last name is pronounced the same way as the English word “vector”. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Lieutenant,” she paused as she took a seat across from him. “And I would love a cup of chamomile tea. It would help ease the nerves a bit,” she said.

Marcus smiled, “I’ll make note of that. No need to be nervous lass,” he walked over to the food replicator and ordered a strong cappuchino coffee and the chamomile tea. Bringing them back on a tray, he set them down and returned to his seat, “So, tell me Thalia, what brings you to the Security division of Starfleet?”

Thalia took a deep breath, attempting to center herself before speaking. “To put it simply, I want to protect the people that I serve alongside as best as I possibly can. I realize that there can be a lot of pressure that comes with this line of work, but I believe I’m up to the task. My father has served in the German military, so I’ve learned a lot from him when it comes to martial arts, sword fighting, and general hand-to-hand combat. I’m also very competent with a phaser,” she paused for a second, knowing that there was more she needed to say. “But in my opinion, Security isn’t just about protecting the crew, combat, and throwing enemies in the brig. The biggest piece of advice that my father gave me before I left was to get to know as many of the crew as I possibly can. But more importantly, show the crew that I’m someone they can trust with their lives. Someone they can talk to about anything, as well. I’m a really good listener, and I feel like I can put that to good use on this ship,” she said.

Marcus’ smile broadened, “You’re an officer after my own heart lass. Your skills will no doubt come in handy over the course of your tenure on the Sentinel. Would you be willing to help me teach your fellow officers in some of your skills?”

-Lieutenant Junior Grade Marcus Anders: Chief of Security-

Thalia eagerly nodded. “It would be my honor, Sir. Plus it’ll give me an opportunity to get to know my crewmates,” she said.
