The doors hissed open and Jenny got her first good look at her two newest crewmembers; their uniforms were immaculate and they bore themselves with professionalism and pride in their uniform and their graduation from the Academy, with almost no hint of the underlying apprehension all Midshipmen felt when reporting to their first duty posts. What was surprising was that neither introduced themselves by name; it was not a requirement to do so, but every reporting crewmember she'd come across who she hadn't already met had done it that way. Jenny had just assumed that's what they taught at the Academy, though to be fair, her opinions of the Academy curriculum and what morals they were imparting on their students left something to be desired of late.
Let's hope these two are more than their academic profiles...
Jenny smiled warmly at the two new officers, trying but not quite able to hide her slightly-enlarged and noticeably-pointy canine teeth. She did not rise from her seat, nor offer the two Midshipmen the seats in front of her desk, one of which still had boxes on it.
"Midshipman West, Midshipman Turner, welcome to the Yeager."
Reaching down to scratch Raiju behind the ears as she heard him stir next to her, red eyes taking in the two new arrivals as he sniffed the air, before he curled back into a ball and went back to sleep.
"I have to say, both of your Academy transcripts are impressive. I think you'll make decent additions to this ship, but before I take you out into the deep dark galaxy I need to know the people I'm serving with. Personnel profiles are all well and good for getting a first impression, but they're filled out by bureaucrats who get paid to keep things concise. I want to know something about each of you, something that I won't find in any official documentation."
Leaning back with a mischievous smirk, Jenny opened her arms wide.
"I'll start to make it easier, one for each of you. On my first Away Mission I tried to steal a train, and I once dislocated a Midshipman's middle finger when he decided he'd test out the Captain's chair on the Gettysburg and didn't like being reprimanded for it."
