No one would even think of calling counselling a tough job, compared to many other positions an officer could hold in Starfleet. Why would they? After all if one decided to dedicate their life to listening to someone else’s troubles and insecurities, neglecting ones of their own, and constantly being under pressure of making tough decisions concerning what to write or not to write in a report, which may or may not result in dismissal of a crew member, it was most obviously their choice.
That is exactly why Dr. Novan was extremely surprised, maybe even shocked, when Ensign Mary Slater caught her in the corridor and asked to have a word in private. Nevertheless, Novan didn’t hesitate to schedule an appointment, after all the Ensign did look troubled and nervous. Whatever she had to say must have been interesting in one way or another and Novan even felt good for a moment - finally someone required assistance and she could help!
However, when Ensign Slater never showed up for the appointment, doctor felt a strange sucking feeling of concern. It resembled a case of a standard detective novel in many ways - an ugrent message, a disappearance…
Dr. Novan never had a thing for risky ventures, however she couldn’t wait for too long and wandered off in search of people who could’ve seen the Ensign. So far no one had. But the worried Doctor didn’t lose hope and kept asking if anyone she’d ran into had seen Ensign Slater.
