[Deck 14 - Front Ear] Thea listened as the two junior officer's continued their conversation, happy to see T'Karra accept the package and declare it adequate, once she had introduced herself. Although she had seen the moment of uncertainty before she had looked inside but it seemed as though there was no further concerns. The CMO also had to admit that it was good to have Kaya tag along with them as the Engineer shared some more advice and knew how much she would appreciate if the roles had been reversed. That's something she had learned quickly during her first assignment and hoped to pass that on to those who sought advice or were adjusting to a new posting, especially somewhere like Front Ear. It also showed how the crew looked out for one another and that was another reason why she loved being here as they were like one big family. As they moved further along the corridor, Thea would then leave it up to T'Karra as to what she wanted to do next and if she wished to unpack and rest for a little then they could reconvene later. But for now kept walking, keen to learn more about both officers.

"You sound as though you speak from experience," T'Karra began. "Is a RON bag with three days worth of clothing sufficient for assignments aboard the ship or do you recommend splitting my things more evenly?" T'Karra cocked an eyebrow at the engineer's undisguised attempt to see the screen. The diagram of the ship was still visible, displaying their current location. "And I do not know the location of my quarters, though I imagine the Lieutenant Commander does," she answered.

"I've been here six months," Kaya said as they continued on towards crew quarters. "Before that I was on the Centaur for a year. We usually know ahead of time how long the Mac will be out, but it's usually more than a couple days." Kaya had the impression that T'Kerra would be more efficient than she was with where her junk ended up. "Have you met Commander Aune, yet?" Kaya lifted her hand a bit above her own head, marking the height of a substantially taller life form. "He's a right gadzi [fn]Trill word for a bear-like creature.[/fn] but gentle as a cloud. And there's Chief Melihn," Kaya went on. It was usually bad form to openly gab about senior officers and their like in front of one of their own, but the way Kaya saw it, T'Karra would find it all out sooner or later. Besides, nothing Kaya said in front of Baker was something she wouldn't say in person. "We like Melihn. You'll meet my friend S'Riia at some point, as well. Overall, just avoid tactical bridge crew, don't let anyone from medical choose the holodeck program, and you'll be fine." T'Karra Thea Baker

[Deck 14 - Front Ear] As T'Karra spoke to Kaya regarding her experience and asked what the PO recommended for what she needed clothes wise for the ship. Thea knew better than to intervene as this kind of information was better coming from someone who knew and did it every day. Okay it wasn't to dissimilar to what Thea did herself but again this was all about T'Karra and getting to know other officers in her department. Which in her opinion was invaluable especially out here. So as she told Kaya that she didn't know the location of her quarters and that Thea would. The Doctor nodded before Kaya answered the Vulcan. That's what Thea liked about the Engineer with how open she was and it was interesting to hear what she thought of her immediate superiors. Although did speak up at the mention of medical. " I can assure you that you won't have anything to worry about when it comes to medical, we're not that bad" Thea replied with a grin to show she wasn't serious. She then paused as they neared T'Karra's quarters. " Your assigned quarters are just up here, then I'll leave you to get settled in and continue your conversation. We can reconvene later say 1700 at the Blue Beta. You're welcome to join us Petty Officer".

[Deck 14, Front Ear Station] As the trio made there way down the hallway, T'Karra quietly listened intently to them expound on station life. Naturally, she had questions, namely the exact degree of "bad" at which medical personnel were performing and why certain members of the bridge were to be avoided, but they had arrived at her new quarters and she found herself momentarily dismissed. Judging by the clock displayed on her PADD, there would be ample time for a quick shower, a short rest, meditation, and a small midday meal. She owned little and did not anticipate needing more than a few minutes to unpack the hygiene products and clean clothes she would need. With little more than a nod to the pair, T'Karra turned to face the automatic door to her quarters.

True to her reputation, Dr Baker was good-natured about Kaya's community-minded information sharing. T'Karra didn't say anything but Kaya had learned a long time ago not to expect social validation from Vulcans. Her mission had been accomplished.
"Thanks, but I've got to run," Kaya said. "Welcome aboard, T'Karra. Doctor."

[Deck 14 - Front Ear] The CMO would understand if Kaya didn't want to join them later, but at least she had offered, before T'Karra nodded at the pair and prepared to enter her new home. Not wanting to cause any unnecessary delay, Thea stepped aside as Kaya thanked her before telling them that she had to run & welcomed T'Karra once more. With a polite nod towards the Engineer as she left, Thea turned to do the same with one final comment towards the Vulcan officer. " I'll see you at 1700, don't hesitate to call if you need anything before then". Thea then began walking back up the corridor and towards the lift.

[Blue Beta Bar & Grill, Deck 8, Front Ear Station] A throng of people roamed all throughout the mezzanine. While a few of them wore the Starfleet uniform, there were also a considerable number of those in the crowd wearing civilian attire. No doubt that many, much like T'Karra, were here for end meal. Unfortunate. The young Vulcan did her best to wind her way through the press of bodies without making physical contact with anyone. It was proving to be a challenge. Twice she had been accosted by a Ferengi merchant insistent that she stop and view the selection at his kiosk. The claim that his poor quality goods were the "finest in the galaxy" seemed like a gross exaggeration, but that hardly dissuaded him from trying to coax her into a sale. She finally managed to extract herself from the situation when an unsuspecting, visibly intoxicated human wandered by asking rather loudly and enthusiastically to purchase a souvenir. When T'Karra finally arrived at the first floor of the Blue Beta, it was 1702. She was late. Worse still, she didn't know exactly where to find the Lieutenant Commander. She chided herself for not requesting clarification. Rather than dwelling on it, she pushed into the establishment to search. The large floor space with an adjacent stage was packed with people moving to a loud, discordant rhythm, a significant number of whom were actually touching. Some of the dancing patrons had made it on stage with a trio of musicians. They swayed close to the edges of the platform with beverages in hand, seemingly oblivious to their precarious position. Those who were not occupied with dancing moved to the busy bar nearby. A scant few occupying the bar stools were engaging in a level of intimacy that bordered on the obscene. Having seen no sign of the doctor and not wishing to see any more of the grossly public displays of affection, T'Karra moved into the less congested dining area in the hopes finding the woman.

[Blue Beta Bar & Grill - Deck 6, Front Ear] There were three eating establishments on Front Ear that Thea divided her time between and the Blue Beta was one of them. However it wasn't actually surprising to find it busy, especially when the band were playing one of their twice weekly afternoon/early evening slots. As tempting as it was to join in with those already on the dance floor, the CMO had a meeting to keep and so after speaking with Leanna, the owner, had found a booth in the much quieter dining area. This gave Thea the chance to not only people watch but also see T'Karra when she arrived. The Doctor had changed out of her uniform into a dark green jumpsuit that brought out her eyes and fiery hair more than usual and had ordered a pitcher of iced water with various fruits for now as she waited for the Vulcan Sec/Tac Officer. The drink was refreshing and as the chronometer moved past 1700, Thea wasn't to worried, especially when she spotted T'Karra and waved to her. " T'Karra, over here".

[Cmdr. Judith Eastman(-Williams) & Lawrence Eastman - Blue Beta Bar & Grill]That the First Officer of the station was a regular presence at the Blue Beta was very natural. After all, her husband was a chef there. Today, she was accompanied by her adult son, Lawrence. "Mom, I get what you're saying, but the Sox just played a better game," Lawrence could be heard saying, seemingly a continuation of a sports-related argument. "I should disown you for saying that, young man," Judy replied. "Where did I go wrong as a mother?"Lawrence shook his head, equal parts amused and embarrassed, as the two walked through the establishment, until they came upon Thea. "Hi there, Thea," Judy greeted her subordinate and friend. "Dr. Baker," Lawrence acknowledged.

Upon hearing her name, T'Karra began making her way to the table. Ideally, she hoped to consume end meal in Vulcan custom- quietly and efficiently. The more quickly they conducted her tour, the more quickly she could return to the peace of her quarters. Her gait slowed as she took stock of two newcomers likewise approaching the table. One of them she recognized from research conducted prior to her arrival. Meeting the First Officer and another individual had been... unanticipated. She had no doubts that the length of the evening's timeline had just increased dramatically. "Greetings Commander Eastman, Lieutenant Commander Baker," she said as she stood at parade rest. To the young male, she offered a faint nod.

[Blue Beta Bar & Grill] After spotting T'Karra making her way over, Thea soon realised that the Vulcan might not be her only dining companion this evening as Judy and her son Lawrence approached and greeted her. She smiled warmly at them as T'Karra spoke to them and stood at parade rest and quickly wanted to put her at ease as she responded to the three of them. " Judy, Lawrence, it's good to see you both" she said then indicated towards T'Karra. " Let me introduce you both to Crewman T'Karra, one of our newest Sec/Tac officer's, I asked her to join me here for dinner before resuming our tour of the station, if you would like to join us".Manners and to some extent protocol was something that was deeply instilled in Thea and besides, decided that it wouldn't hurt to include Judy so T'Karra could get to know both senior officers away from normal duty hours. Plus Lawrence was always good to talk to, even if he insisted on calling her Doctor Baker all of the time, but understood why he did.

[Cmdr. Judith Eastman(-Williams) & Lawrence Eastman - Blue Beta Bar & Grill]"I think we'll join," Judy accepted Thea's invite, as she sat down. Lawrence sat down beside his mother, and began to look over a menu. "You can relax, Ms. T'Karra," the XO then told the young crewman, her very civilian mannerisms shining through. "I'm Commander Eastman, and the young man is my son, Lawrence."Lawrence was a young man mostly in comparison to his old mother. He was, in fact, 5 years older than Dr. Baker, and a father of three in his own right. "Nice to meet you," Lawrence added. "So, how have you found the station so far?" the XO asked T'Karra.

[Blue Beta Bar & Grill, Deck 8, Front Ear Station] T'Karra stood at ease when given the order, her posture relaxing a fraction. Officers were to be shown a certain level of respect. Duty demanded it. To Lawrence, she offered a nod in return as they exchanged greetings. "The station appears to be in satisfactory condition... though I am not wholly qualified to make a full assessment, Commander," she answered, her brow furrowing slightly.

[Blue Beta Bar & Grill - Front Ear] Thea smiled as Judy accepted her invitation to join her and T'Karra, before scooting over slightly so there was plenty of room for everyone to sit comfortably. As Judy then returned the Vulcan's greeting and introduced herself as well as Lawrence, before asking her what she thought so far. Thea noticed that T'Karra was still standing at ease as she proceeded to answer the XO's question. Again the CMO smiled at the response and knew that there was still lots for T'Karra to see, not to mention the Mac herself when time permitted as she hoped to show her around before they departed for their next mission. " The Blue Beta is always a good place to start but I also intend to show you around the Mac as well when time permits, but first what would you all like to drink?".Spotting Jack approaching, Thea gestured for him to come over so he could take their orders.
