Ensign Jaseb Chevalier - A new drum of oil for the old good machine
CPT Arianus
((Meanwhile,
aboard the Artemis-A))
Jacob threw
his shoulder lightly as he materialized in the transport beam. It was still a
little uncomfortable. Unnaturally. That peculiar feeling he felt inside himself,
when the mechanics of his essence connected with the flesh of his body. Especially
now. His shoulder hurt a little, phantom feeling of lost limb which opposed the feelings of his new, mechanical one.
He
smiled, a little forcedly, and nodded to the officer who came to welcome them. They
were a new blood in the veins of the old. Mixed into established structure, they
were the ones who came to reborn them.
oO No,
it doesn’t matter. We are here. We are nothing. Oo
Jaseb blinked and stepped down from the transport platform for the welcome
briefing from the already prepared and visibly excited commander dressed in teal.
Adea:
Welcome aboard the USS Artemis-A. I am Commander Genkos Adea, the Chief Medical
Officer and… ::he looked at one of the human females, who giggled:: I am very
much not single I am afraid. ::he smiled:: Sorry, I don’t make a habit of
reading minds, but that thought came off you so violently it came right in
through my defences…
Jaseb stood straight and alert the whole time. As the commander made remarks
about the fact he is Betazoid, Jaseb did not resist to smile a little more honestly.
oO What you hear in my mind, doctor? Oo
He did not expect an answer, but he knew from the Academy the Betazoids did not like to touch his thoughts, as they “felt metal coldness” as they touched his mind. He never knew if that was true, or they were making fun of him, but he didn't care.
Adea: … Anyway, you are all to report straight to Sickbay on Deck 7 for your onboarding except for ::he looked down at his PADD:: Ensign Chevalier is it?
Chevalier: Yes, sir. Ensign Jaseb Chevalier, reporting for duty.
Genkos smiled at him, then pointed his cane to the door. Other new arrivals already left the room, to whatever task, or activity, they planned to do. Jaseb relaxed in his stance, still leaving his hands behind his back.
Adea: Nice to meet you - you’re to come straight to the FO’s office with me.
Chevalier: Understood, sir. :: he nodded :: I will follow your lead.
They left the transporter room to the corridor,
and after a short walk, to the turbolift, heading to the FO office. Who knows why.
Jaseb did not.
((First
Officer’s Office, USS Artemis-A))
Jaseb let the commander go first. Dressed in his service uniform with gold
collar and single pin, he held his other hand hidden in a black glove as he had
his hands behind his back. His white hair was pulled back into a bun. He
stopped one step behind the commander Adea, stood silently as the commander spoke.
Adea: Love what you’ve done with the place,
Yogan. ::he coughed:: Commande Yalu, may I present Ensign Chevalier?
Chevalier: Sir. :: he straight his stand and
nodded in direction of Commander Yalu::
Yalu: Response.
