[center][h2][i][u]USF The Arcadian - 24 September 2190[/u][/i][/h2][/center] [hr] [center][b][u][color=white][h2][u]Dr. Martin Aster Schrier, PhD[/u][/h2][/color][/u][/b][/center] Unaware of the trouble brewing through the ship, Martin looked over himself one more time. Yes, the uniform was spotless (technically not a requirement for civilian personnel when not for a formal occasion, but he couldn't imagine that it wouldn't help with his image with the rest of the crew to wear it.) His hair was neat, everything was spick and span. He was ready to head out. He went with a briskness out among the ship, checking in with his lab first. As he brushed his hand against the clean instruments, Martin took a revel in how this was all his now. All the years, all the sacrifices and the work, the late nights and the gallons of coffee, all leading to this place, to this moment. Now he needed to prove that it was all worth it. With a final inspection, he walked briskly through the corridors up to the bridge, saluted the captain at his chair, and then went to his station near the Signal Officer's and started looking through his monitors and readouts. Of course, going through hyperspace was the worst time to get any astral readings, but it was still a good time to get use to his equipment. And besides, it gave him a good excuse to be up here. It wasn't like he had anything else worth doing on the ship and seeing the stars pass by was a delight.

Ship's status showed that they were still in hyperspace. The Geology department didn't need her. The Xeobotany and Xenobiology departments didn't have anything either. And certainly the archeology department wasn't busy right now either. The days ahead were her own at the moment, so why not enjoy it while it lasted. So she'd go get a bite to eat, maybe talk with someone, then head up to see the Bridge and maybe be there when they arrived at the upcoming planet. She was pretty sure any civilian personnel were allowed to come up and watch things as long as it wasn't an active combat situation or some other emergencies (though of course she only skimmed the rule book)...But she'd worry about if she was wrong later. First, breakfast. And so she pushed back her hair, slid on her satchel, then rushed out out into the hallway and towards the mess. There, she about ran into Dr. Sorens. "Oh, sorry. Guess I got a bit carried away... Are you alright?"
