After unpacking and arranging her quarters to her satisfaction, Ensign Lydia Ayeka decided to change out of her Starfleet uniform and into a sleeveless silvery top with a matching miniskirt and go-go boots. Her new duties as counselor gave her the option for civilian clothing if she felt that the official uniform would prevent her appointments from relaxing and trusting her. She had to get her head in the game, for with new personnel came the mandatory appointments with sickbay and counselors to affirm that the Genesis’ new people were both physically and mentally ready for their new duties.

Wait a second, AYEKA was a new officer! When was HER appointment with sickbay?

Glancing at a PADD Lydia discovered that it was less than two minutes from now! She had to get to sickbay at once!

Dashing off like a madwoman, the Genesis’ new counselor ran out of her quarters and down the corridor towards the turbolift.

“Deck Three! Sickbay!”

When she reached Deck Three, that corridor was more crowded than the one on Deck Five. “Gangway! Make a hole!” she screeched in her high pitched, birdlike voice.

Huffing and puffing, the lavender haired girl managed to reach sickbay. “Lydia Ayeka, Ensign,” she gasped to the nurse behind the desk. “I have an appointment for fifteen hundred hours.”

The woman behind the desk looked up, surprise showing on her face. “Of course, Ens…did you say you are an Ensign?” Her brows drew together. ‘The Cheif isn’t going to like that part…’ she thought.

“If you’ll just wait here a moment, I’ll get Dr Brennan for you.” The nurse left and found Sage in one of the stock rooms at the back of sickbay. “Oh yoo hoo…”

The CMO looked up from the list she was examining, saw the look on Nurse Lexi’s face and was intrigued. “What’s up?”

“Your next appointment is here—an Ensign Lydia Ayeka. She says she’s the new counselor.”

“Oh yes…I remember seeing her on my calen…did you say ‘Ensign’?”

Lexi looked pretty pleased with herself then. “I knew you wouldn’t like that…”

Sage set down the PaDD she’d been working on and headed out into the bay to meet Lydia Ayeka.

She found her still standing near the front desk. “Miss Ayeka? Ensign Ayeka?”

—Sage

“Yes ma’am!” Ayeka chirped as she stood at attention. Technically Counseling was a subdepartment of the Medical department that was treated as its own department when the ship’s counselor was lieutenant rank or higher. That wasn’t the case right now. Therefore this was visit was not only a physical checkup but a report to her department head as well. Doctor Sage Brennan was technically Ayeka’s immediate superior. “Counselor Lydia Ayeka reporting for duty Ma’am! And my physical too if you’ve got the time,” she added guiltily.

Emerald colored eyes looked over the young female with interest. “Tell you what—let’s get your physical out of the way and then you and I can talk in my office. How does that sound?” It was a rhetorical question, but if Ayeka didn’t agree, Sage would listen to her concerns.

“Good, good,” Ayeka nodded in a failed attempt to act casual.

Meanwhile, Sage led the way to a bio bed and motioned for the counselor to take a seat.

While Sage busied herself with pulling up the proper files in the medical data base and equipping herself with her trusty tricorder, she kept the conversation going. “You seem quite young for a counselor, Ensign. How did you land the position?”

—Sage

“I did very well academically,” Lydia Ayeka began, full of the energy and confidence that both youth and recently graduating from the Academy tended to give green inexperienced ensigns. She stopped and blushed as she sobered in reflection. “Funny you should ask that question, ma’am,” she continued in a more sober tone. “As you know, one of the advantages to being in counseling or medicine is that we get to look at personnel files that normally wouldn’t be available to those of my rank. After I received this assignment I managed to get ahold my own. It turns out the thing that impressed my reviewer wasn’t my academic record or my performance but rather something I said.”
