The doors to the docking bay once again opened. This was not the first time, or would it be the last time. When the doors opened, out stepped an odd looking officer.
Lt. Rosenthal looked around and muttered under his breath. "I've seen nicer." He was right. The base, was quite frankly, empty. "Oh, well. At least it isn't a starship. This is a lot nicer than any 'ol starship."
David slowly made his way around the station, trying to get his bearings.
"Excuse me?" said rather buff looking officer approaching him.
Crap, Rosenthal thought, not even here an hour and I am attracting attention. "Uh... yes, sir?"
" I don't believe we've met. Who are you?"
"Lt. David Rosenthal. I am the new Techie," This got a raised eyebrow. "Er... Computer Specialist. You see? I'm a technician, techie..." The Vulcan still stared. "It's slang."
"Ahh, I now understand. Techie is short for Technician."
"Exactly."
"Have you met the Cappie?" David was unsure at the meaning of the question. "Did I do it right?"
David caught on. I hate when Vulcan's do that. "Not quite, but good try. And, no, I haven't met the Captain yet."
"Well, Iam free at this time. I'll show you to his office."
Double crap, not here a hour, and already under security escort. Not good.
