The CMO shook her head and held up an hand, a friendly smile on her face. "Thanks, but that's OK. I won't keep you, Tes. You looked like you were in the middle of something. I just figured I'd stop by and say hi before you checked in on the ship. It's a little less stressful than meeting your boss in a formal check-in."
And man oh man do I know that.
Robin's own check-in on the Artemis several years ago hadn't gone badly, but back then she was still stressed out over the brutal Borg Megasphere battle a few weeks previous and worried about how her superior officers would treat her. She'd been the Academy scandal during her time there, the Augment who'd gotten in on a technicality, and many of the cadets (plus more than a few instructors) had viewed her either with suspicion or outright contempt.
"We can take care of that when the recall order is given, which won't be for a while." She paused. "If you want I can introduce you to the other officers here. No pressure, though. That might be a little too much, so it's cool if you don't want to right now."
I probably would have passed.
"Anyway, it's up to you. I'm going to maybe grab a little more food before I head out."
