The transport ship dropped out of warp and slowed almost to a stop. Mikarsh Varl sat in his chair and looked out of the viewport at the station they were heading for. So this is my new home! He thought to himself as the ship docked at the station.
"This is the captain speaking. We are making a brief stop at SupplyBase 901 to drop off a passenger and will resume our journey as soon as they have departed. Thank you for flying with Angosian Spaceline!" Said the transport's captain over the intercom.
Mikarsh gathered his belongings and headed for the already open airlock. As soon as he was out of the door the airlock closed and sealed behind him, making him jump. They don't waste time, that's for sure.
He walked into the main reception area, a knot forming in his stomach. Why are you so nervous? You should be used to this by now! He headed to the officer sitting behind the desk and handed her a Padd.
"Lieutenant Mikarsh Varl, reporting for duty as Chief Medical Officer." He told her as she looked over the Padd. "Is the Commander aboard?" he asked.
"No, he is on an away mission with the senior staff at the moment." She told him. "These seem to be in order Lieutenant Varl." She tapped the Padd, authorizing assignment and entrance to the station. "Your quarters are in Section one with the rest of the senior officers." She input the entrance code for his quarters into his Padd and returned it to him. "Sickbay is in section three. If you get lost just ask the computer for directions."
"Thank you." He replied as he picked up his bags and headed into the main body of the station.
He stepped out of the turbolift and found his quarters. He looked at the Padd and input the temporary entrance code, the door opened and he entered. Nice and roomy, big windows, not bad at all. He felt the symbiont move slightly inside his pouch. Yes, let's get some sleep soon.
He emptied the contents of his bag onto the bed. He took a picture of a young trill woman with long blonde hair and put it on the bedside table. He went back into the main room and sat at the desk. He tapped the console to activate it.
"Computer, open a subspace channel to the Main Medical Facility on the Trill homeworld!"
'Working' replied the computer. Mikarsh turned and looked out of the View port. The stars hung lazily watching him. After several minutes the screen changed to show a young male Trill.
"Hello this is the Medical Center! How can I help?"
"I wish to speak with Jennera Kahn please." Mikarsh told the young Trill.
"Certainly, one moment." Replied the Trill. "Transferring you now!"
The blonde haired woman from the picture appeared on the screen.
"Mikarsh! I am relieved you arrived safely. How was the flight?" she asked.
"Could have been worse, I am tired I just wanted to tell you I have arrived safely." He told her. "The station does not seem as bad as I thought, my quarters are reasonably spacious. But I miss you already!"
"I miss you too sweetie. Go and get some sleep. Everything is fine here!" She blew him a kiss, which he returned.
The screen went blank and he went and lay down on the bed. To get some sleep. Maybe this will not be too bad after all he thought to himself as he drifted off to sleep.
