[Baggage Claim Gamma, Front Ear Station] T’Karra stepped out of the transport and into the terminal of Frontier Station- or was it Front Ear Station? That was still unclear. It was noisy, crowded, and disorganized; something she now suspected was a trend in the Federation at large. She followed along with the passengers from her flight to baggage claim, suppressing the urge to wince every time she was jostled. Finding the claim area was simple enough. All one had to do was follow the simple to decipher picture signs that any species could understand. The process of actually collecting the luggage, however, proved to be a bit more chaotic. A haphazard crowd of tired, irate passengers formed around the belt. Many jockeyed to snatch their luggage bags first while she and a few other experienced travellers stood back and waited for the frenzy to end. At one point, T’Karra was given a front row seat to fist fight between an Andorian and a human trying to acquire the same bag. Security responded in record time. While she waited for the crowd to thin out and did her best to ignore the fact that she smelled like shuttlecraft, she reflected on her trip. The young Vulcan had spent the better part of her 80 hour journey researching the station and the U.S.S. Mac. Research that was often interrupted by the piercing wails and kicking of the Terran child sitting behind her. Could the parents not find an appropriate activity for the child? She did her best to quell her agitation, but what she really needed was to find her quarters on the Mac and meditate. A little solitude would go a long way but first she needed to make contact with her sponsor. She dipped a hand into her pocket and withdrew a PADD. Seconds later, a message pinged her point of contact. I have arrived. Standing by at baggage claim gamma.

|Baggage Claim Gamma || lt. cmdr. Sven Aune|
The burly chief of security had, what he considered a "light day" with the 'ol paperwork. He hadn't suspect the sheer volume of it when Rayh had passed the job to him. He was thankful for the job, but this part drove him nuts. He had decided to stretch his legs and walk the promenade when his department had received a call to the baggage area of arrivals. He was close and decided to take the call. He responded quickly back to the dispatcher.
It was a busy place, and a fresh batch of shuttles had just arrived. It didn't take long to see the problem. An Andorian and a human had gone into a bout of fisti-cuffs over a piece of luggage. Sven's large presence was enough for both to back down. "What seems to be the problem?"
The Andorrian spoke "This pink-skin is trying to snatch my luggage." the Andorian male said haughtily.
Sven eyed the case. It was clearly Andorian, as the markings on it were, well in Andorian. He then gave the the wild haired human a hard look who in return gave him a nervous chuckle but said nothing. Sven eyed the case. "Is that yours?" he asked the human flatly.
Stammering the man replied, "N...no."
"Good," Sven said, "Glad that's sorted."
The Andorian gave Aune a scoffing thank. The typical response for their race. He had come to find it endearing having worked with Kova for almost a year now. It was their way of showing appreciation. The Andorian took his case and vanished into the crowd. However Aune kept and eye on the human. He tapped his badge and asked the security staff on duty to run a background check on the human who slunk away, looking rather irritated.

[Baggage Claim Gamma - Front Ear] After a slight delay in Sickbay thanks to a vomiting Klingon who had eaten some spoiled Gagh and a change of uniform, Thea had made her way towards the docking area, hoping that she would be there before T'Karra's shuttle arrived. Although when she received the message from their new Sec/Tac officer, the CMO doubled her step, knowing it would be quicker for her to get there, rather than stop to reply. As Second Officer, it sometimes fell to her to greet newly assigned officers and give them the obligatory tour of both station and the ship, which was something that she enjoyed doing as it also gave her the chance to get to know them, before their duty shifts began and to also answer questions or reassure them if needed. When she entered the busy baggage claim area, Thea was instantly reminded of when she had arrived here and as she walked through the crowd jostling for their luggage, she caught sight of Sven Aune, who looked to be dealing with some kind of fight and quickly acknowledged him, as she continued. Thankfully after a few minutes, Thea was able to track down T'Karra and moved towards the Enlisted Officer. " Crewman T'Karra?, it's good to meet you, I'm Doctor Thea Baker".

[Baggage Claim Gamma, Front Ear Station] T'Karra watched the exchange before her, fascinated. The Lieutenant Commander who ended the physical altercation was easily the largest she had ever seen. For a brief moment, she wondered if all humans were capable of growing to such a remarkable size... but even the most athletic humans in her graduating class failed to compare. Perhaps he was a genetic anomaly or maybe he chose to augment himself- either would be beneficial in his particular profession. It would be illogical to speculate with her limited knowledge of human anatomy, so she resolved to research the topic another time. Instead, she turned her attention back to the PADD. Though her message had been sent some time ago, it had not yet been answered. She closed her eyes and took a moment to tamp down on a tendril of irritation. More than three days without adequate sleep nor meditation was by no means the longest she'd ever had to endure but it was certainly not ideal. Many of the travelers had trickled to the exit and the constant thrum of the crowd began to fade. Silence meant concentration and concentration meant focus. The Vulcan spent the next few moments centering herself. When she opened her eyes, the terminal was nearly empty with one notable exception. T'Karra's posture straightened almost imperceptibly as the doctor approached, spying the rank on the woman's collar. “Greetings, Lieutenant Commander,” she replied.

[Baggage Claim Gamma - Front Ear] When T'Karra acknowledged her presence and returned the greeting, Thea smiled and for a moment was transported back to when she had first arrived on Epsilon and how she was now the senior officer as opposed to a new transfer. Remembering how tired yet excited she was to finally be out in space even with the mental scars of what she had witnessed during her time on Earth and her participation in the war effort. But now she was here to start a new life amongst the stars and as the years had passed knew that she had made the right decision to accept a starbase posting and how it had eventually led her to the Mac, Front Ear and of course Isaiah. So she could relate in a way to how T'Karra must be feeling as she then responded. " Welcome to Front Ear and of course the Mac, I'm here to not only show you around but to answer any questions that you might have" Thea explained warmly then added. " What would you like to see first? your quarters or the Promenade?".

The large security officer offered Baker and the new officer a two finger salute in greeting before he slipped into the crowd to continue to short patrol. After all, he had a stack of reports that had to be finished. He started thinking about getting an assistant to help with these matters.

[Baggage Claim Gamma, Front Ear Station] T'Karra offered the departing security officer a brief nod of acknowledgement before giving her full attention back to the doctor. "My quarters would be the logical option," she answered, turning away. "Touring the promenade with my belongings seems ill advised." Most personnel arriving at a new duty station brought, at minimum, two suit cases in addition to their standard issue items but on the bench behind her sat a simple Starfleet issued sea bag and a small carry on backpack. It was enough to transport uniforms, footwear, off duty attire, and a few personal effects. She was travelling lightly for someone relocating to the edge of the frontier, even by Vulcan standards. In a few moments, she had her things neatly arranged. The larger sea bag she strapped to her back and cinched down the straps. The backpack was worn backwards across her chest. She turned back to Thea and offered her a slight nod.

[Baggage Claim Gamma - Front Ear] As Sven acknowledged the pair before departing the baggage claim. Thea offered him a polite smile, before T'Karra responded as to what she would like to do first. Agreeing with the logic of going to her quarters first rather than tour the Promenade whilst laden with luggage. Thea had offered those options as some newcomers tended to head for the delights of the Promenade first, although this would definitely make things a lot easier. " Certainly and you're right it does make more sense".Once T'Karra was ready and nodded in confirmation, Thea led the way out of baggage claim and into a waiting lift where she called for Deck 14. " So T'Karra, are you looking forward to your new assignment here?" she asked to break any silence as the lift began to move.

[Turbolift to Deck 14, Front Ear Station] Posted inside the turbolift just above the controls was a diagram of the station. T'Karra scanned it with interest, noting in particular that the Security Node could be accessed on deck 29. She was in the process of retrieving her PADD to download the diagram when she heard Thea speak. She paused and considered the doctor's question for a moment. Was she not already looking forward? Furthermore, what did the direction of one's gaze have to do with their assignments? Her thoughts quickly shifted from confusion to understanding. In her very limited experience during training, she had come to realize that humans had a fondness for colloquialisms. Thea was probably asking if she was excited about her assignment. "I believe that my assignment will be a productive one, ma'am," she finally replied, finishing her download. "And what of your service here? Is the work to your liking?"

[Turbolift to Deck 14 - Front Ear] Thea understood if the Vulcan Security Officer didn't want to engage in small talk as the lift took them through the veins of the station. Although the CMO did notice T'Karra scan the diagram inside of the lift's interior and smiled internally at her resourcefulness and wanting to make a note of it especially when she then pulled out a PADD, before she answered Thea's question. Again the Doctor smiled as she responded to T'Karra who also asked a question of her own. " That's good to hear and I'm sure it will" Thea replied then thought about how to answer the question that had been posed to her and found that she could answer it honestly. " It is yes, having served aboard a Starbase prior to this posting I was used to station life but getting to alternate between Front Ear & the Mac has been a great experience and I'm glad I got this assignment".

[Deck 14, Front Ear Station] "Surely it will be beneficial in furthering your career," she said as the lift came to a stop. Frontier Station and the USS Mac provided some rather unique opportunities for Starfleet personnel. Prior to arriving at the strategic outpost, T'Karra had never heard of crews transitioning so easily and often between a starships and starbases. T'Karra expected to gain some varied experiences of her own over the next few years. She stepped out and to the side and made room for Thea to exit. As she turned to inquire about the doctor's concentration of study when her stomach growled in protest. The meals on her journey had been less than filling. She hoped, not for the first time, that her new accommodations included a replicator.

[ PO2 Kaya Som | Deck 14 ]A short Trill was just coming up on the turbolift when it arrived carrying Dr Baker and the new crewman T'Karra - a meeting that was not coincidnetal. "They said you were Vulcan," said Kaya Som with a smile. She held out a package about the size of a shoebox. "Commander," she added with a respectful greeting to Baker. "I'm Kaya Som, Engineering. We're on the arse-end of the quadrant and we've been finding that, uh," she laughed a little, "that any little bit helps the adjustment." Kaya and a few others had gotten in the habit of intercepting new enlisted and kitting them out with a few ... adjustment-aiding essentials, customized as needed by culture. Spirits were common, as were homeworld food imports as procured from the merchants in the promenade. There were usually a few donated holodeck credits to go around, and a PADD loaded down with tips on the best places to get a cooked meal. Vulcans weren't liable to be plagued by homesickness, exactly, but they'd managed some redspice biscuits and no one hated those. Thea Baker T'Karra

[Deck 14 - Front Ear] The response from T'Karra was something that Thea hadn't really considered but quickly realised that the Vulcan wasn't wrong. She had certainly done a lot more career wise since arriving at Front Ear and how some of that had been taking her away from Sickbay, not that it was bad thing, considering the experience and knowledge she had gained in the process. " I agree it would be and has been so far" Thea admitted as the lift came to a stop and she exited the carriage after T'Karra. When T'Karra then turned to her as if to ask her something else, the CMO couldn't help but hear the growl of the other woman's stomach and wondered if they should make a stop at either the Spudriq or the Blue Beta. Of course she didn't want to embarrass her either, before PO Som approached the pair and spoke to T'Karra, whilst holding out a package to her. " Petty Officer" Thea replied warmly as Kaya then acknowledged her, then resumed talking to T'Karra as she introduced herself and explained about the package. Thea thought that was a lovely gesture and loved how the crew were wanting to welcome their newest recruit.

[Deck 14, Front Ear Station] "I am T'Karra, soon-to-be Security and Tactical" she said, tentatively taking the container from the Trill woman. She removed the lid, curiosity piqued. Upswept eyebrows shot up a fraction in surprise as she inspected the contents. The package, while unexpected, was certainly well timed. Replicator or not, she would be able to eat soon and for that she was grateful. She looked between Thea and Kaya, unsure of how to respond. Alien culture courses in Starfleet did include a module on Trill, but it made no mention of gift giving customs. Was she expected to eat the biscuits here with her hands? Perhaps she was expected to offer something in return. She contemplated her options for a moment before deciding that any offense she caused could be corrected at a later time. "The contents are adequate," she said with a slight bow of her head.

"Adequate, nice." Kaya crossed her arms, well pleased with herself. High praise coming from a Vulcan. Presuming they were on their way to quarters, Kaya got moving again to follow along for a spell. "A little advice - don't unpack all the way. Most of us spend as much time on station duty as the ship so completely moving house every time gets old fast. Your bunk assignments are always the same, though, so that helps. Where have they got you?" Kaya tipped her head a little to look over at the PADD. Thea Baker T'Karra |
