Lt Thorn had dropped by her quarters, to make sure her things had arrived, but it would take a while for it to feel like home. It always took a small amount of time to adjust to new surroundings. The ship was so huge that she couldn't decide how she felt about that. The Geronimo had been small enough that she could have flown it herself with no problems, but maneuvering a flying city was something quite different. With so many people, especially so many civilians, that was going to feel strange. She didn't know how many civilians there would be, or how soon they might show up, but it felt like a bad idea to her.
Knowing that the festivities would be in Ten Forward, Thorn found her way there, got a glass of tranya and grabbed a seat by a window. She would alternate between people watching and looking out at the "Black Velvet" of space. The one good thing about such a big ship, it meant she would get more peace and quiet. There had been very little privacy on the Geronimo, so being left to her own thoughts was an improvement.
There was a temptation to look in on Engineering, but she decided against it. There was no rush. She would introduce herself to the ship and they would become well acquainted in their own time. She wondered who she was going to end up working for. Kalli's imagination conjured up some weathered old Commander or something along those lines. There would be a fair sized staff to care for a ship of this size, so probably someone older than dirt in charge of maintenance. It didn't matter, she would do her best to cover all of it, just like she always had.
Her eyes wandered over to where Talion and Kurasa were sitting and talking intently to Mala. She wanted to go over and talk to them, but didn't want to interrupt their conversation. Kalli was eager to talk to Talion about her field testing of the drone program and the advancements she had documented. After he had left the Titania, she was surprised to see him on another ship. His uniform told her that he was back in Science though, not Command. From the look of things, he had recovered quite well from their last mission together. She grinned at recalling her needing to carry him out over her shoulders, in a fireman's carry. He was heavier than he looked, but fortunately she had been up to the task. That reminded her that with a ship that actually had good holodecks, she could get back to some serious training again. THAT would be very nice.
