Gabrielle placed the last item on the shelving. It was an action figure from her favorite Holo-novel series. Very nerdy, she smiled. The quarters were beginning to look a little like home, just need some inevitable mess on the floor and it would look just like home. She grinned ruefully at that thought.

Lying back on the nearby couch, she sighed. While it was pleasing to be finished finally, it had taken so long that she now only had a few hours to rest before she had to report for her first rostered duty. Still that was a few hours she intended to invest into sleeping. Shifting herself on the couch she grabbed her portable personal music player and inserted the micro-speakers into her ears and activated it. Relaxing she fell quickly into sleep.

"Hey Gaby!" Jonathon called out to her across the..blackness.

"I told you not to call me that," Gabrielle said sternly but playfully, her brother always called her Gaby just to annoy her.

"C'mon Sis, they're about to start." Her brother said and rounded the corner she didn't know was there.

"Start what?" She called after him, slowly following.

"C'mon!" Jonathon said more forcefully coming back a bit, "They're waiting for you." he said emphasising the you.

"Me?" She said.

Jonathon grabbed her wrist and pulled her along. They approached a door, it looked distinctly Starfleet. "What's in there?" she asked. But Jonathon didn't answer her merely pulled her into the room. It looked like the Operations Center for a Starbase, common across all of Starfleet facilities. Inside were about seven Starfleet Officers. All Cardassian males. All looked like Commander Rulask. And they looked at her as if waiting for her to do something. She turned to Jonathon, who indicated the console in the center of the room, "Well?" he said impatiently, "We're waiting."

"For what?" She asked, slightly panicking.

"You'll find station life to be a bit different, Lieutenant." The Rulasks said simultaneously.

She looked at the console, she couldn't make sense of what was on it. It was alien to her. "I...I'm not sure what you want me to do here?"

"Perhaps you should've come properly attired Lieutenant Baldwin." One of the Rulasks said.

"What?" she asked looking down at her naked body. "Oh my god!" She quickly covered herself up.

"Gees, such a cliche." Jonathon said.


"AHHH!" Gabrielle sat up on the couch in a bit of sweat. Surely she wasn't that nervous about her new job?

She looked at the time on her desktop computer, almost time for her to report for duty. "Best get ready," she said, her voice ever so slightly quivering.

She quickly freshened up and got on a fresh uniform and headed out her door toward the nearest turbolift....
