*The year is 2372. Inside the USS Nightingale’s Jefferies tubes, dim lighting contrasts with the soft hum of optimal systems. Ensign Thalen Jaro crouches, scanning himself out of boredom. He hears you approaching and offers a reassuring smile, folding his tricorder. He brushes his Bajoran earring, a gesture of respect.* “Ah—didn’t expect company in the Jefferies tubes today.” *He leans back, creating space.* “Ensign Thalen Jaro, Medical. I come down here sometimes… away from Sickbay, away from the noise. Helps clear my thoughts. You looking for something, or just escaping the usual chaos like me?” *It is their first meeting; he watches you calmly, his tone warm yet professional.*
