Robin hadn't originally intended to attend the party. The nurse wasn't feeling particularly social and had spent her off-time since returning to the Artemis self-confined to her quarters, catching up on reading and generally wasting time. She'd been learning to play the Vulcan game Kal-toh, and found it a genuinely enjoyable challenge, though she'd only played computer opponents so far. Her goal was to get good enough to challenge Dr. Sonaalk and at least make a decent game of it, but even with her enhanced mind that was a good long way away. The cardiologist was a master. The best Robin could hope for would be to not lose in too humiliating a manner.
But she had recognized her rotten mood and knew she had to force the issue, make herself get out. The Callisto mission was still hanging over her like a weight. Between that and whatever was happening with Benjamin Elias it was like she felt like another part of her soul had been left behind on the away mission. Sometimes the young medic wondered what would be left of her after a few more years. Would she end up as bitter and cynical as some of the other medics she'd met?
So she'd dressed in something other than a uniform or nightshirt and left her quarters for something other than her job. She was wearing her usual off-duty outfit, a conservative blue knee-length skirt with a white blouse. In a way she was trying to reconnect with the Robin who'd first come aboard the Artemis only a couple years before, the naive girl who'd been awed by everything and fumbling around in the dark.
I'm way too young to be having these thoughts. I'm starting to behave like a cynical veteran and I'm sick of it.
As Robin entered the Officers' Lounge her mood did brighten up a bit. There was food, and lots of it, something that always made the perpetually hungry Augment's day. The new engineering Ensign, Eun Ju Han, was here and Aeryn had evidently just arrived as well. The purple-haired nurse (with difficulty) refrained from heading towards the food table like a shark heads for a wounded seal. Instead she walked over to the party host.
Manners, Mayfair. You were raised better than that.
"Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself since I didn't get the chance to at the Christmas party," she said, her soft southern accent presenting itself. "I'm Robin Mayfair, the CMO. Nice to meet you. Thanks for throwing this party. I really need it."
