First Assignment

Posted on Mon Apr 27th, 2015 @ 5:31pm by Ensign Zachary Chandler

The time had finally come, his first assignment. USS Victory, Sovereign Class. Dreams really did come true. They wouldn't come true if he didn't get checked into his assigned post though. The trip out from Sector 001 had taken longer than anticipated. His transport ship had had to help with a colony evacuation. It had been a good experience though. He'd gotten to work on the colonies old computer systems, saving what data they could before leaving.

Zack heaved his duffle bag over his shoulder and held in a groan. It was way over the weight limit he was suppose to put on his prosthetic leg, but he was in a hurry, and the Victory was docked three sections over. By the time he arrived he was slightly out of breath and sweating. He promised himself he'd work out more, hit the gym, do some cardio. A promise he knew would last a week, at most.

"Ensign Zachary Michael Chandler." He smiled brightly at the young female security officer stationed outside the Victory.

"Orders." She droned out in a bored tone.

"Oh right." Zachary dropped his duffle and began rummaging through it. "They are here somewhere, really." He looked up and smiled again. So much for charm, now she looked bored and annoyed.

"Ta Da!" He finally came up with aforementioned orders and handed the PaDD over. Bored and annoyed, but still cute, transferred the orders over, and then the hatch opened. With a groan he didn't manage to hide, he hoisted his luggage again and limped on. "Hello there beautiful, fancy meeting you here." He ran his hand over the corridor bulkhead. "You and I are going to get along just fine." He continued his one sided conversation with the lovely Sovereign lady, she already felt like home.
