d be up around this time next week Doctor Sonora Fairchild was used to dealing with the unknown While she wasn t a space explorer and had only ended up on the Farraday by sheer accident of fate the opportunity to explore the minds of the ship s crew and help them overcome their fears amp doubts was an appealing one Despite the dire nature of the situation she was looking forward to her first appointment She sat in the front room of what was formerly the first officer s cabin where she d rearranged the furniture and changed some of the decorations A long plush couch was moved under the windows and a matching chair faced it while being next to the door Sonora was arranging some of the faux planters she d found when the door chimed Please come in she said The door opened and Ecaterina Skirov stepped inside smiling a little nervously Doctor Captain Lennox told us that if we had personal concerns we should come see you I assume if your concerns were professional you d be talking to him Sonora said with a smile gesturing to the couch Have a seat Lieutenant Skirov walked over to the couch as Sonora took her seat across from her The doctor picked up an electronic notebook and crossed her legs prepared to begin Ecaterina found herself looking at the way Sonora was dressed Her high heels pencil skirt and low cut wrap around top were definitely not Starfleet regulation Sonora noticed the lieutenant s look and smiled a bit Were this an official Starfleet meeting I might be wearing a uniform she said but since this is a less formal occasion and in my cabin I m choosing to be comfortable I don t see how wearing that is comfortable Ecaterina replied especially those shoes Fairchild laughed a little It s not the shoes themselves that give me comfort my dear it s how they make me feel When I wear something like this something like what I d wear back on Earth I feel more at home more like myself What about you What makes you feel comfortable Skirov gave the question a moment s thought I like having a problem in front of me A chemical equation or an astrogational chart something that appeals to my intellect In fact I probably wouldn t be here if the captain hadn t told me to get some rest I d likely still be trying to plot a course home through the Beta Quadrant Some of it at least we ve explored and have updated charts for So why are you here Ecaterina I m a bit worried Not for myself but for D Sarl Your friend the Orion helmswoman Ecaterina nodded She works really hard to be more than just another Orion female There were a lot of assumptions at the Academy There have only been a couple Orions interested in breaking from their families and culture to join Starfleet but people have preconceptions about a race of ruthless merchant slave traders They re not all like that obviously Fairchild observed You and I know that Skirov agreed but try telling that to a class of horny self confident Academy cadets At least the ones she d bring back to the room would try to act polite So you were roommates the doctor said jotting down a note Did you bring boys back yourself Just one Ecaterina said smiling a little Kyle was a year ahead of me Last I heard he was serving on the Exeter How often do you get to see him Every month or so Our ships will come in close proximity or we ll manage to get leave together It s not easy Military romances never are Sonora agreed As much as you might wish it so sometimes it s probably good that you re on different ships You don t want personal feelings to get in the way of duty I know I ve just been dealing with the fact that I might not be seeing him for a very long time Focusing on work helps but I knew I had to tell someone and I didn t think I should burden Captain Lennox with my personal problems From what I understand Sonora began leaning forward Captain Lennox is a good and compassionate leader You shouldn t feel you d be burdening him especially if you re afraid your hang ups about Kyle will interfere with your duty It s his job after all to make sure the crew is in good working order and that includes accounting for their fears doubts and struggles Ecaterina nodded I ll keep that in mind In the meantime I recommend taking some time to relax with your friend I m sure D Sarl would be willing to listen to what you have to say just as much as I am and she s known you for much longer I would but she s out on a mission She s due to be off duty afterwards however In that case Fairchild said with a smile we ll just look forward to her safe return Filed under Fiction RSS feed for
