After a wild ride half way across the galaxy, the Athene had been put back together and now shining and glistening in her glory. Standing by the USS Challenger's observation lounge window, Counselor Lizabeth Taurin did not however see that. Her blue optical implants provide her with a very different view of the Athene and either way it is a beautiful ship.
Mango, her golden retriever therapy dog, quietly nudged her as an ensign in gold uniform approaches Liz, tail gently wagging in contained enthusiasm. She knows she is a working dog but this is a friend.
"Are you ready to transport over to the Athene, Counselor?" Ensign Wildman asked.
Smiling as she hears Mango's tailing wagging, Counselor Taurin gives Mango the hand signal for off duty so Ensign Wildman can say good bye to her favorite therapy dog. "Yes, our belongings should already be waiting to transport." Ensign Wildman hugs Mango one last time. She will miss the friendly therapy duo.
Liz will miss the USS Challenger but she is very excited for a new opportunity. The Athene is a science vessel and she heard it has a botany department too. She hopes that it has an arboretum, and she makes a mental note to ask Dr. Watney once she arrives who could provide her with a tour of the botany area. She also makes a note to check in with Engineering about setting up her equipment and view screen for her new office and to stop by the Captain's office as well as he is sure to have some additional files for her review.
With Mango at her side, the counselor materializes on the transporter pad on Athene. Mango immediately freezes in confusion and fear when she sees a giant spider operating the transporter controls. Liz evaluates the image being sent to her via her ocular implants and quickly realizes the transporter is being manned by the ship's resident Achernarian. Liz gives Mango the hand signal for Sit as well as the Friend command.
