Posted by Cadet Robert Sharpe (Security Officer) in COS’s Office Cadet Sharpe reporting in
Sharpe reached the door of the main security office where he was told he might be able to find his commanding officer. He gave a sharp rap on the door to the rhythm of and old earth tune aptly named ‘shave and a haircut’. immediately regretting so, having remembered his old habit decided that it was just something everyone will have to live with if he couldn’t remember to use the comms panels that were literally staring him in the face. He wasn’t sure what to expect on the other side of the door, whether it was an armory, multi personnel section or a single dwelling. He stood there for a moment before deciding that this was a stupid mistake and that he didn’t want to be known as the ‘country bumkin who didn’t know how to chime in.

He wasn’t sure how long he had stood there since he knocked, so many people bustling by in the corridor behind him. He slowly turned away from the door and started meandering through the ship hoping to find ten forward so he could get a drink. It was about this time that usually on Earth, if he did something stupid, he would head to the bar for a drink. But also usually that would end up getting him involved in some sort of brawl. See even though Sharpe wasn’t the largest man, having standing at a staggering five foot eight, and weighing in at a sweltering hundred and fifty five pounds, he was quite the hand to hand fighter. This proved well at his courses in the Academy and when it came to rifle qualifications, he got top marks from his instructors.

After wandering around for a little bit, not having located ten forward, he made his way back to the security office door. this time though, he caught himself before knocking again and reached for the control panel. He took a deep breath and muttered to himself “here goes nothing.” He pressed the button of the comms panel and heard the chime of the door. Hopefully no one suspected him of being the one who knocked, but after all, he IS the new guy on ship.

OOC: I’d firstly like to apologize for my out of order check-in threads. reading the email I received, made it seem like the three required threads could be done in any order.

Secondly, I’d like to say that the events of this thread likely take place shortly after the events of my thread with the ship’s counselor if to help give a small sight into the timeline I’m writing this in. If at all you have any advice you’d like to share with me outside of each of the thread post updates, you can reach me on the discord as Dubs (picture of a cowboy with a red background).

Lastly, I do try to reply as often as possibly, but being enlisted in the US military may make that difficult to keep constant.

I look forward to RP with you!

The thumping on his door bothered the Chief of Security. Joseph Rainns shook his head. Who didn’t know how to use a chime? Cadet Sharpe apparently, a few seconds later he heard the chime go off. “Enter!” He called out, his voice betraying his annoyance.
