Chapter Two
Well today was the day. In exactly one hour, L'Arrin would be meeting with the USS Enterprise at Space dock 12. L'Arrin was, of course, early. As she was waiting, she thought about what she was doing. She was leaving her home. Leaving it for the vastness of space. But that was okay. There was a job to be done, and, as logic dictates, someone had to do it. No matter how messy it got. Just then a man brushed by her.
"Oh I'm sorry," he said "I didn't see you there.
What a strange man, thought L'Arrin. He was bald, and he carried himself with a certain ere of dignity. She also noticed his uniform, identifying him as a star ship captain.
"I thought Vulcan's were supposed to be on time. . ." he muttered.
"Excuse me, sir," L'Arrin interrupted his musings, "but may I ask who you are looking for? I may be able to help."
"Yes, I am Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the USS Enterprise. I am looking for a person called, L'Arrin," he said, glancing down at his data pad.
"I am L'Arrin" she said, "I am looking forward to working with you and your crew."
Captain Picard eyes widened in surprise. "But you're a human!"
L'Arrin looked at him and raised her eyebrow. "Are you not human too?"
Captain Picard regained his composure and replied, "Well, I'm sorry, I was just expecting a Vulcan."
L'Arrin nodded a sharp nod and she and Captain Picard walked towards the docking bay where the shuttle waited to take them back up to the Enterprise. L'Arrin was nervous, but with a true Vulcan air she looked as placid as ever.
When they got onto the ship, Commander Riker, Dr. Crusher, and Commander Data were waiting to greet the new Ensign. Riker and Crusher both looked surprised when they saw she was human, but Data walked up to her and said, "Hello. I am Data, and I am an android. I would love to teach you how to play poker, if you do not already know how to play." Data had been learning how to play poker from Riker, and when he said this, everyone except himself and L'Arrin laughed. Captain Picard introduced everyone, and L'Arrin told them that she wanted to be called by her human name, Joanna. Then she was escorted by a security officer to her quarters, where she would rest until tomorrow.
