She stopped at the windows overlooking berthing 2 and studied the galaxy class ship beyond. Even as close as it was the sight was beautiful, and butterflies fluttered in the ensigns stomach again. Since her arrival on the starbase 3 days ago, Aria had visited windows presenting different views of her first posting; This was the closest she’d been to it since her arrival however. Turning away from the sight the security officer made her way to the airlock, squashing the butterflies with a thought. Her thoughts then proceeded to tumble through her hopes and plans; Examined the memories of her previous hosts looking for guidance among them, Aria became lost in her thoughts. As she moved her brisk stride turned into the feminine glide of a starlet. The ensign came to a halt in front of a wall panel on the Grandeur. [color=gray]”Computer; locate Lieutenant,”[/color] The Trill referenced the padd she was holding. [color=gray]”Cloudborn.”[/color] The computer responded promptly. [color=#C0C0C0]”Lt. Cloudborn is currently in the security office.”[/color] The ensign whirled and moved to the nearest turbolift. She slipped between a pair of engineers who she chatted with amicably. While she shared their excitement she had a tight grip on it; Still the fluttering returned to her stomach as she exited the lift. Striding down the hallway the trill came to a stop outside the Chief of Security’s office, reaching out she hesitated. Taking a deep breath and brushing an auburn lock behind her ear, Aria took a hold of herself and tapped the door chime. [hr] Jinn sat in her Department office feeling the glow of recognition after enduring so long a period in a place designed for slow promotion. She like anyone who has chosen knew it was advance or become a Diplomat or simple civilian and the idea of being so anchored down repugnant. She was seen as some as trying to measure up to her mother and they were so wrong; Jinn’s mother was the passive sort. Her smile vanished replaced by a benign expression when she heard her door chime. “[color=Tomato]Enter[/color]” she said her tone conveying little of her mood her brown eyes inscrutable [hr] Aria keyed the door open and stepped through. With three brisk strides the ensign moved to within a pace of the desk and popped to attention. [color=gray]”Ensign Aria Tyr, reporting as ordered.”[/color] She stated with a salute. The padd with her orders held at her side. [hr] Jinn looks Tyr up and down appraising the first member of the Trill race she had the pleasure of observing up close. She doesn't take long before speaking. "[color=tomato]At Ease Ensign, I am as you've likely noted Lieutenant Cloudborn and I am easy to get along with so long as I need not give an order twice. If you are as good as your files show you've done some homework on myself and if they didn't cover the bases I'll fill you in. I accept honest mistakes but not excuses. If you make mistakes I want them to be learning experiences and not repeated; I see self anger as a defeating mode of thought so don't dwell emotionally. I will not ask you to do more than I myself am capable of unless you are capable of much more then I will ask for more; "We must Test our limits to Know them[/color]" [hr] [color=gray]”Yes Ma’am.”[/color] The ensign replied, her stance shifted to one more comfortable to stand in. Aria nodded at her superior’s words, [color=gray]”My intentions are to give you, and the Captain my best.”[/color] Unable to think of anything else to add that would not mean simply repeating herself she added, [color=gray]“I have yet to bring my belongings on board. If you do not have an assignment for me, I’d like to see to getting that out of the way.”[/color] [hr] "[color=tomato]Dismissed Ensign your watches will be posted in 15 minutes and not begin for at least 4 more hours[/color]" answers Jinn letting the young woman go so she could see the next person in a long line of personal [hr] Ensign Tyr shifted back to attention at the dismissal. Turning she made her way to the door, keying it open she paused. Turning back she said. [color=gray]“Lieutenant, I remembered a quote that I think you should hear. The writer Aasimov said, [i]”The limits of the possible can only be defined by going beyond them into the impossible.”[/i] I look forward to our trip into the impossible.”[/color] Stepping through the door Aria headed for the turbolift, already considering how to layout her quarters.
