Alexis, with PADD in hand, stood, seemingly lost as the doors to Ten Forward whooshed open. So distracted by her thoughts and her attempts to find her way around, she hadn't actually realized where she had ended up. She had actually been heading to the science labs located on Deck Ten to check the damage there. How had she ended up in Ten Forward? She had so much to learn about this new ship and she was no in charge of the science department. At least until Starfleet either confirmed her in the position or appointed someone else to take the job. No matter, for now, she was in charge and she needed to assess the damage to each lab, create an inventory of items and do what she could to help get the Nike back on its feet.
'A quick refresher wouldn't hurt' Alexis thought as she glanced around at the nearly empty lounge. She had been working on her report about the condition of the science department since she had been released from Sickbay upon her transfer from the decimated Carolina. The Carolina...it was like an old friend that was no more. Alexis suppressed a gulp, trying to keep back the feelings of despair and images of devastation that she could not wipe from her mind.
Moving over towards one of the few functioning replicators, Alexis spoke, "Late, with extra cream." The cup materialized a few minutes later. Feeling the warmth from the glass seemed to help banish some of the dark thoughts that had crossed Alexis's mind once again. There would be a time to grieve the loss of her former ship and crewmates. Right now, she had promised the acting Captain that she would get her report filed as soon as possible. The work actually assuaged her, made her feel alive, when inside she felt as though part of her soul had died. What would happen next? Would she be assigned to remain on the Nike permanently, or would she be re-assigned elsewhere? What did she even want? Did she want to stay here, where ghostly images of the destruction might always remain? Did she want to leave behind the place that, even in just a few short days, had become her new home? So many questions, so few answers. Alexis sipped her tea, taking a moment to compose herself before heading off in search of the science labs once more.
