woke up to the sound of the computer. She felt as if someone had tied a
rope around her waist and pulled hard and she was sweating. "Think ,
think! ok, right I need to report to the Cheif engenier." She walked
over to her storage compartment and took out her uniform, silently she
put on her uniform and sat on the bad for a minuite to gather her
thoughts. She could her the soft buzzing noise of the Galaxy class
starship and the dim lights relaxed her enough for Sorala to get up and
start walking to engeniering.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: small;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: small;">She walked swiftly and appeared
calm but was still nervous inside.She was trying to remember all of her
starfleet engeniering training so that she wouldent mess up causing an
awkward incident undoutably involving the sentance "Its ok everybody
makes mistakes to begin with". Sorala's pretty low self esteem was
flying through her head. "The best i can hope for is not to screw up! I
hope I dont let the captain down on my first day aboard the Vimy Ridge,
I would hate to upset anybody so soon", She thought. Sorala laid sight
upon the Turbolift.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: small;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: small;">She entered the turbolift, "Deck 36, main engeniering" </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: small;">The turbolift lift started moving,
slowly at first and then faster and faster. "This isn't like the
simulations or shuttlecrafts, there's a majestic pulsating feeling...".
The doors opened and before Sorala was the warp core, wonderous,
glowing and fully operational.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: small;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: small;">Sorala was ordered to perfom
routine maintenance on deck 6 of the saucer section. She decided that
she should get a bit a exercise and use the Jefferies tubes to get
there. It was much harder than the simulations on the holodecks and far
hotter. Sorala found herself wiping the sweat off of her face and yet
it gave her a strange pleasure. When she got there Sorala felt
comfortable and at home with all the science going on around her and
was really starting to enjoy her work.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: small;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: small;">She moved on to the other
transported rooms, some of them had some very minor malfunctions in the
lesser systems, nothing life threatening. She was soon completely
transfixed in her work and whiled away a good portion of the day making
sure that absoloutly nothing was wrong on Deck 6 saucer section. She
was very happy that nothing was going wrong so far and the crew all
seemed friendly,smiling or nodding at her when she passed them in the
corridoors.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: small;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: small;">Sorala was then told to repair a
replecator in Ten Forward. This made Sorala a little more nervous.
"what if i get something wrong and they have to call someone else to
repair the replicator?relax Sora you've done this hundreds of times
before on the holodeck! Relax it'll </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: small;">be ok".</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: small;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: small;">When she got their Sorala found ,with at least a little poking around, that the replicator was </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: small;">not recieving the order because of
a problem in the voice recognition subroutines. "That should do the
trick!" ,Sorala said, "One um.. Vulcan spice Tea." The tea materialized
in a cup in front of her. Sora took a sip of the tea , paused, and then
said "Yep, its working now, sure enough". The vulcan spice tea gave off
a rich and yet bland smell that contredicted itself, it was Relaxing
and she felt as if her synesis had been opened as she drank. "thank you
she said".</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: small;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: small;">Sorala then reported back to
engeniering, where she was told to finish the day "at least for now".
So she wen't to the holodeck. She steped inside. "Computer , program a
gymnasium, 60square feet. Now program a balance board, width 2 feet,
length .. 15 feet.Add a punching bag, hanging from the cieling by an
iron chain and filled with sand. Ok now a cycling machine</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: small;">specially for someone who is 1.77 meters tall. Save program as Sorala Gymnasium."</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: small;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: small;">She began her normal fitness routine for times when she had to get rid of excess energy, </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: small;">She did pressups until her arms
began to hurt, and then sit-ups until her stomach hurt. After this she
proceded to Run 50 laps of the gymnasium. Although not an incredibly
demandy work out it helps her to relax.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: small;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: small;">She headed back to her quarters at around 21 hundred hours and sat down at a chair.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: small;">"Computer, is Beethovens 5th synphony stored in data banks?" "Yes" Replied the computer.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: small;">"Computer , Play that file."
Sorala sank back into her chair and listened to the music. She could
feel her muscles relaxing and she was filled with a warm , joyus
feeling and she slowly ambled over to he storage compartment and took
out her pyjamas. "Computer , one glass of water ." The water formed
and Sorala took it and put it by her bed. "Dim lights." the lighting
level droped and Sorala Changed into her pyjamas. "Computer wake me up
at 05 hundred hours". She took a gulp of water and turned so she was
facing her left side. She lisened to the</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: small;">Soft Humming noise of the ship and
reflected back on her day. "Today was enjoyable, im looking forward to
tommorow , i think that ill be able to feel at home here, and im
looking forward to getting to know the crew better". Then her eyes
closed and she drifed into a deep sleep.</span></div></font>
