New Arrivals
#9
Entering the office, Mika found that there were two other newcomers as well. Not that she could argue with it being an efficient use of time for the captain, being much easier to handle new members of the crew. The hardest thing to swallow was how much Captain Braggins seemed to appear ‘unprofessional’ when compared to what one would expect from a commander. She listened on as the captain addressed them, and then asked about something that wouldn’t be in their records.
 
I take it that she’s trying to sound down to earth. I can respect that. Not saying we’re all going to be best buddies, or whatnot, but the effort is appreciated.
 
Something that caught Mika off-guard was when the doctor, she believed she’d heard that it was Bremner, had also started to address the wolf in the room, as though they were a staff member of the crew as well. Mika had taken notice of the Rylan Thunderwolf, and even if she didn’t know what it was it clearly looked more like the captain’s pet. Which Mika figured the captain wasn’t keeping her staff as pets, something that would’ve been highly inappropriate. Not wanting to embarrass anyone, the scientist kept her mouth shut.
 
Hearing the answers from the other two Midshipmen, Mika figured her reasoning for joining Starfleet was going to be the blandest of them all. Not that it mattered what people thought of why she joined the service. It was her own reasoning, and that’s all that counted for her.
 
“Honestly? I want to explore the unknown. I realize that sounds like a copout answer, but if I really wanted to I could’ve easily worked at a laboratory on Earth, like my parents wished. They don’t hold a very high opinion of Starfleet, and if they were standing in this room right now, I’m sure it would be much lower. No offense, Captain.”
 
Considering what the Captain looked like, at the moment, Mika wanted to make sure she wasn’t seen as insulting the captain on her first day. She also wanted to make it clear she didn’t harbor the same feelings as her parents, not that she ever seemed to understand them, especially not having talked to them for four years. It was her story now, not theirs.
 
“But, where the fun in being lightyears from where all the discoveries are being made. Starfleet is typically out there in the vast unknown, and is usually one of the first to find new and interesting things out there. I’d be a fool to ignore the benefits, even if I know it’s not a guarantee.”
