Act One, Scene One

Ensign Hendril hadn't actual realized that there was a dress code for the event. Between her normal duties and her Command Training, she had just been so busy during the ship's downtime. Just before coming her, she had pulled eight hour shift on the bridge. Then before that, she had a four hour simulation with Lieutenant T'Lora as part of her training. Normally during mission, Hendril would be focused on her regular duties. However as the ship was under repairs, she gave up opportunities to explore Bajor to double her focus on her Bridge Officer Training. For her to become eligible for Command School, she had to be certified on all Bridge Stations.

Sure it was early for her to think of Command School, seeing how she was just an Ensign. But she had a drive to excel in her duties that guided her in to Starfleet. Ever since her childhood and watching her father work closely with Captain Jean-Luc Picard she had always wanted to be that Captain that brought a world like hers in to the Federation. It was a pivotal moment in her life and one that would help shape her future. This was why Ensign Hendril wanted so bad to reach her goals. And this is why most of her department called her a little busy bee. A nickname she loved and become endeared to.

Ensign Hendril smiled as she pulled on Noonia's arm, "I have been so busy with my Bridge Officer Training, I really didn't have time to change." she batted her eyes playfully, "Oh King of the Winter Festival could you find it in your heart to pardon this wayward Junior Officer who just got of double shift?"
