Ensign Asra - reporting for duty

[Samira Neathler]

 I see our ’new’ ensign will fit right in with our crew. 😆

(( Shuttle Bay, USS Gorkon ))

 

Ten steps, turn, ten steps, turn. 

 

The shuttle had docked 15 minutes ago, and Asra was pacing the shuttle bay. From zer approach, ze could see that apparently the majority of the crew were milling about outside the ship, which seemed like a strange life choice but Asra was aware that schooling rarely matched practice. 

 

Still, ze was *fairly* sure the crew were supposed to be on the INSIDE of the ship, not the outside. 

 

Ten steps, turn, ten steps, turn. 

 

Lil Claw: You don't have to wait for anyone. 

 

Asra: I'm not waiting. I'm pacing. 

 

Lil Claw: Ask the ship where the captain is...

 

Asra: Admiral

 

Lil Claw: ... and it will tell you. You know this. You've been rehearsing it for the past three hours. 

 

Asra: What if she hates me?

 

Lil Claw: she won't. 

 

Asra: But what if she DOES? 

 

Lil Claw: Then you can stay in your quarters and dangle a piece of string above me. I'll roll on my back and bat at it. It will be adorable. 

 

She stopped pacing. 

 

Asra: It WOULD be adorable. 

 

Lil Claw: Also, I can't talk, so don't talk to me. 

 

Asra: Right. 

 

Lil Claw: Mew?

 

Asra: Excellent point. 

 

Lil Claw: Mrrp.

 

Moving carefully so as to not dislodging the kitten from zer shoulder -- or worse, cause it to dig in for stability -- ze picked up her bag and put it on zer other shoulder. One more check that her uniform was in place. Deep breath in. Deep breath out. 

 

Asra: Computer, locate Admiral Reynolds. 

 

(( Saucer Section Exterior Hull, USS Gorkon ))

 

Nope. Being on the outside of the hull didn't make more sense when ze was there instead of just looking. 

 

oO If I could find where the field controls are, I could murder the entire crew by disabling.... oh,crap, I hope there aren't any telepaths in the crew. HI TELEPATHS I WAS NOT PLANNING TO MURDER THE CREW I AM JUST CONCERNED FOR SHIP SAFETY. Oo 

 

Deep breath in. Wince slightly while Lil Claw climbs up onto zer head for a better view. Deep breath out. 

 

Ze scanned the crew for the Admiral; not exactly the easiest to spot, but ... was that her partner? Ze made her way towards them, trying not to draw too much attention to zerself. Yes -- there she was. Talking to a few people. Command staff. 

 

Well. Now or never. 

 

Asra: Admiral, Ensign Asra, reporting for duty.

 

Ze gave a crisp salute only marred slightly by the kitten batting at her hand as she did. 

 

Reynolds: Response

 

Asra: Sorry for interrupting, I had been told to report to you first thing on arrival. I assume they MEANT to add, unless she's at a party outside the ship, then you can wait until after, but they didn't, and so, um, hello. ::Ze gave a weak grin:: 

 

Reynolds/Brunsig/Sevo/Marshall: Response

 

Lil Claw: Mow.

This is honestly one of my favorite first sims I've read. So much personality in so little time. And this?
