Enandra looked at her and she smiled softly "thankyou I would like to keep it as pristine as possible seeing as it is all I have left." she looked at the data pad and she closed her eyes for a moment before she spoke again. "I don't mind explaining the church before its reform was radical to say the least, if you were not Norian you were a Cli'cha an outside and viewed as lower than a slave. While I served on a ship, I had a short relationship with an exchange officer from where I was born. The Church found out and my punishment was decided. That punishment was the forced application of the tattoos that cover my body marking me as Cli'cha lover. Any Norian who sees me know what I have done though this" she motions to her skin and tattoos "no longer happens and from what I have heard they views on the Cli'cha has changed. So, I hold no anger or anything of the sort for my punishment. I knew it went against the church and I did it anyway, but this is just part of who I am, but it doesn't define me." She smiles softly "is there anything more you would like to ask me about my training or anything?"

"You're right, that's nothing to be disqualified for enlistment over." Stella clenched her jaw as she closed it with a nod. "Parts of our past like that don't define us but our choices and steps forward do. Like yours here today to join the Star Army, so I'll get back to it. You haven't had time to contact a Mishhuvurthyar, Kuvexian, or any of their known allies?" Stella asked, then shook her head for no as she looked up, making her short hair spin around her face. "Being a new addition to the Star Empire, what drives your loyalty to Yamatai? What earns it? And how long do you plan to stay with the Star Army? Do you have any plans for afterwards?"
 
Enandra looked at her and she shakes her head "The only people I have been in contact with are those who were part of the battle around the arks and even then, that was just a passing communication to share information with everyone involved and the people I have spoken to here today and my fellow Norians. As to what drives my Loyalty to Yamatai with out there help myself and my fellow Norians would likely not be here talking to you today. As for what erns it would say actions such as saving the last servivers of a race of people in trouble. As for how long I had always hoped for a long military career and given my expected long life span I am afraid I cannot give you a definite answer. As for after I have got no idea, but I would likely offer my communication skills somehow but even then, I am not certain." She looked at Stella to see if she could tell if any of her answers were unsatisfactory.

"I can imagine you would have been communicating with a lot of the people there," Stella said assuredly. Her soft pink glossed lips were set in a pretty straightforward smile. "Which leads to my recommendations for your occupation. Would you want to be part of a starship's bridge crew in the capacity of a communications officer again or is there another course of training you would like to try for?"

Enandra looked at her and she thinks for a moment "I would like to be on another Star ship as a communications officer if that is at all possible. Though..." she pauses for a moment as she thinks about her next words carefully "I am wondering how many of my people are joining who served and wont change from what they know" She finishes speaking and she sits a little straighter in her seat and waits.

"Hmmm," Stella murmured as she raised her datapad to study it more closely. She chewed at one corner of her lip as her hand went to hold the base of her head as she was lost in thought typing.

Finally she spoke, "You meet all of the qualifications for enlistment. I've made a note of your past within the church as being exempt due to your lack of choice in those matters. We have counselors aboard postings if you ever want to talk more about your experiences with a professional."

"Here's our contract for you to sign," Stella pushed the datapad back to Enandra as she stood and went to the door. She was given a large black coat with some smaller garments; the clothing she had promised earlier. It lacked any rank insignia but had a shiny red and silver hinomaru patch peeking out, even when folded.

"Here you are," Stella said as she placed them on the table gently. "From here you'll begin training and do let me know beforehand if you need anything else to transition you to Yamataian life. It must be pretty interesting to know three years is barely a fraction of your life. You have so much time to see the wonders of many many systems and peoples. And I suppose you have the opportunity now to continue to help and protect so many, too."
 
Enandra looked at her as she nods listening as she was glad her past with the church wasn't going to affect her chances. She looked at the data pad as she read the contract she spoke "I should also inform you have to the ability to fight with a Bonded Sylph though mine perished in battle at Ayenee" She signed the contract and she set the data pad on the table, and she looked at the garments and she spoke "I think I will be okay I have learned to adapt pretty quickly. And that is very true it does give me the chance to see many things others might not get to." She looked at Stella "should I change now or wait?" she asked as she moved the garments into her lap keeping them folded and her hand resting gently so they don't crease.
 
"I think there's some information on Sylph bonding and the mind connection you have here. It helps with the way Yamataians communicate through digital wireless connection. I think this should work but it may be uncomfortable on one of our ends," Stella said as she tried to send all the information Enandra would need to begin training from her mind to the Norian's.

"Did you receive that? I'm going to leave the room and mark it occupied," Stella said as she pulled the datapad back to her and stood. "That way you can change now if you want. You're going to do great here, by the way. Thank you for joining the Star Army!"
 
Enandra looked at her as she processed the information as she holds the clothes before she stands "Thank you I do hope to well here." She looked at the clothes before she places them on the table, and she separates them into piles before she removes her uniform folding it and placing it on the table before she steps into what looks to be a thin layer to go under everything else and she adjusts it till it fits properly and she fastens it into place. Before she pulls on the rest of the clothes, and she pulls on the jacket, and she fastens it into place. Once she was dressed and she smoothed over the uniform before she closed her eyes gently before she grabs her old uniform opening the door stepping out closing the door and turns around "Okay I am ready so what is next?"
 
"There is a shuttle already waiting at Docking Station A on this level," Stella said as she ushered Enandra out of the room. "It will take you directly to your training facility, Fort Hajime, from Pisces Station." Stella had been very to the point as she walked her out of the room and into the waiting room from which she had come, but she set her datapad down at the reception desk and asked, "Would you like an escort to the docking station from which you'll depart or do you think you've got it?"
 
Enandra looked at her and she nods "thankyou" she followed Stella out into the waiting room and she stopped for a moment to think before she spoke "Asking you to take me would be the most efficient option then I cannot get turned around and end up in the wrong place. So, if it isn't too much trouble may I follow you?" she asks as she watches Stella and looked at the others in the room as well.
 
"I'm going to be on my break soon, anyway!" Stella said in a chipper voice. "So I'd love to show you there. I'm going to grab some takoyaki nearby after." Out of the recruitment center and walking the concourse, she turned to Enandra and asked, "So what have you found most appealing about Yamataian culture since arriving?" She intended to ask about Norian culture, as well, but she always found it interesting what new species gravitated towards the most when first coming to Yamatai.

Out in the lobby, after what seemed like forever, Fusako's number finally got called, and she was brought to an interview room with an older Star Army recruiter who introduced himself as "Joto Heisho James Guerrero." He pulled out a chair for her at an interview desk. "Please, have a seat and we'll begin."
