"Yes I am fresh from Earth, it's my first ship and crew. In fact, I have never been this far from home before, quite the adventure out here." Mid Coppola stated. He seemed a little distracted, looking around the room.
"If I had to wager a guess, I would swear that the captain is waiting with the First Officer, either Chief Engineer or of Security, either another Tactical Officer or Chief. How long have you been part of this crew?"
LCdr Lim raised both eyebrows at the question. "Oh, I'd say about the same amount of time as you have been part of the crew. We are all new here Midshipman, Transferring in from several ships. I was on the Geronimo before coming here and we are about to rondevu with the Charon to take on board some of its crew. And yes, the officer in the captain's uniform over there, he is our captain or will be in a few minutes, Captain Brooks. There is about to be a handing over ceremony. I'm sure you will get to know the senior officers soon enough Mid Coppola.
He pulled out a pendant and gave it a small kiss. "Saint Jude Thaddeus the Saint of lost causes and desperate situations. I keep it on me at all times, and he hasn't steered me wrong yet." It was an old family tradition to get that pendant at their Christening. "I wonder if anyone has a workout circuit I can join in on, or I can start one." For him it was all routine.
"Do you really think you are lost cause Midshipman? Sorry! I did mean to make fun of you," Lois apologised, "If you find it helps, use it. I'm not religious myself." Dr Lim replied, she wanted to argue the point between a bit of metal hung around the neck and advanced medical treatments but she held back, it wasn't the place or the time. Perhaps we could talk more about your saint's medallion sometime over coffee, perhaps. As to working out, I'm sure you will find a group, if not, as you said, start one yourself. It's important to stay fit and healthy. But then all doctors say that."
Searching the room for the young medical officer, as she spoke, whom she thought looked like Dr Troy from the staff file photos, she couldn't find her in the gathering crowd. After a moment or two her eyes focus on her. I was sure she had a couple of animals with her? But there not there now? Lois tried to attract her attention by waving at her and beckoning her over. In doing so she spotted another medical officer with red hair. She would be Dr O'Shea, I'm sure. She hoped the young medical Dr Troy had noticed her waving.
"So where do you come from Mr Coppola? Is everyone religious where you come from?"
