While Cindy enjoyed the view, she noticed someone approaching. A quick check verified that it was Lt (JG) Carley Young from the Science Department. Cindy turned to greet her as the steps altered pace just enough to indicate that Carley had determined where and when she wanted to halt her approach. Cindy's expression was mostly neutral, but with a hint of an agreeable grin, as she preferred when greeting someone in an uncertain situation.
Carley opened with what seemed a relatively cryptic question. Cindy decided to do her best to engage in the conversation, "Hi Carley. Well, that's an interesting sort of question. I could say that it relates to my primary program, which is the same intent as it has been for a couple of decades now, but I get the sense that such an answer isn't really what you're looking for. I guess my interpretation is of two minds. On the one hand, I'm here to do my job, much like you are and everyone else assigned to this ship. Technically, I am assigned here as well, though it is more complicated in my case. The other interpretation of the question would be a more personal one. Given the setting, I prefer that one, meaning that my answer would be to learn and grow from the experience."
Cindy paused and with a little more of a grin asked, "Do you find my answer adequate?"
