The Counselor’s duty | The Counselor’s duty | ||
The Counselor has countless duties to his/her crew. The first among these duties is to the mental health of everyone stationed to the posting, from the Captains and Admiralty to the Ensigns. The life of a Star Fleet officer is busy, loaded with time constraints, usually stressful, and often dangerous. Sometimes the Counselor can help a crewman with one conversation. Often a little encouragement is all that is needed, or maybe it is a shoulder to cry on. These are the small fires for which the Counselor must always be on the lookout. Other times the problems are larger, this is when you pull a crewman in for a counseling session. These crew interactions provide opportunities that are wonderful to facilitate the development of your fellow crew members characters. | The Counselor has countless duties to his/her crew.

The Counseling Session | The Counseling Session | ||
The counseling session is the primary reason for the Counselor to be serving on ship, or base. Unlike most fleet tasks it can be done almost anywhere. You may counsel the Captain in his ready room. A Lt. may need counseling in their quarters, or the chief medical officer may have to be counseled in sickbay’s office. The Counselor is always on duty and will talk to anyone, anywhere. | The counseling session is the primary reason for the Counselor to be serving on ship, or base.

Simming a counselor can be a demanding role. It also will often be one of the most rewarding roles to sim. The Counselor will find many opportunities to make friends both in character and out. The versatility of the Counselor will provide openings for you in almost any plot. Enjoy playing your Counselor and never forget to be “pushy with a smile” as our own Lt. Commander Cura Assanti-Stone once said. | Simming a counselor can be a demanding role. It also will often be one of the most rewarding roles to sim.
