First Day

Steve was getting anxious. The transporter was still broken. You'd think that dock Engineers could fix their main transporter so he could get to his ship. Picking up his duffel and putting it over his shoulder, he procured a transport on a worker pod that was heading out to dock with the Leviathan and do some final hull preparation.

Once he finally got onboard at Deck 12, he thanked the Engineer and set off walking towards his quarters. He found them on Deck 2, on the fore port side of the ship. It had a nice view with some impressive sized windows for this size of ship. Tossing his duffel on the couch under the window, he grabbed a seat at a terminal and pulled up his messages.

"Hmmm. Let's see. One from TJ, one from Jenny... one from mom...." He said silently as he scrolled down the list.

He read the one from his mother back on Earth and saved the one from Jenny, his fiancé for later. That one would take some time, and care to craft an appropriate response, something he was short on at the moment. TJ was an Academy classmate he had roomed with for two years. He was on the Interceptor as one of their fighter pilots and had just got promoted to Alpha team leader. Nice for someone who started flying after they graduated the Academy in a whole other field.

Closing up his list, he headed out to take a look around. He had three hours until he needed to see the Captain and report for his first shift. He also needed to get familiar with the ship in that time period, so he headed off to the armoury. He'd hit that and then the fore and aft torpedo bays. Being a former Tactical Officer, where else should he go first ?
