Posted by Cadet Shane Flannaghan (Security Officer) in COS’s Office: Cadet Flannaghan Reporting For Duty
Shane was excited to be back in space, where he belonged. He was happy for mother on his Aunt’s farm, she enjoyed spending time on “Terra Firma” and she and his Aunt seemed very close these days. But he had been born in space, and never felt quite home on Earth. He had been given a week of leave before he was to report to the Challenger for his first actual ship assignment. As normal he had spent most of that time working on the farm, it was time to bale hay so he had spent a lot of time in one of the older barns stacking smaller hay bales, that they would use to feed the cattle over the winter. He must have showered 3 times yesterday and he still felt he was covered in the dust that is all over the place when your dealing with freshly baled hay.

He was beamed to the Academy from a transporter station about an hours walk from his Aunts farm and then beamed up to the Challenger with a larger group of his fellow Cadets. After getting instructions from the Transporter Chief on where to find the COS’s Office he proceeded directly there. His luggage had been beamed directly to his quarters below decks, minus the PADD with his orders on it.

Spotting the Plaque on the wall that said Lt(jg) Rodier he knew he had found the right place. He had been worried that that Transporter Chief might give him false directions just to haze the new guy. He would have to study up on the ships layout. Pressing the chime on the door panel he prepared himself to meet his new boss. He hopes he makes a good impression.

OOC: Great first post! I love the bit of backstory. A couple little tips: if you ever want to talk out of character, type “OOC:”, then when you want to type in character again, type “IC”.

Also, try to remember to sign off your posts with your rank, name, and department (you’ll see my sign-off at the bottom of this post). So, your sign-off would look something like this:

Cadet Shane Flannaghan - Security

That’s all. Looking forward to this check-in!

IC:
Lieutenant Junior Grade Henry Rodier sat at his desk, a PADD laying to his left, a half-drunk glass of water to his right, and headphones covering his ears. An inventory of the Challenger’s armory was open on the PADD, but Henry, tired of inputting data, was taking a break, staring into the dusky sky of the photograph hung on the wall opposite his desk.

Lost in thought, the door chime startled the Chief. “Enter,” he called. As he saw the Cadet enter the room, Henry stood, picking up his PADD, happy to switch to the much simpler crew manifest interface. “Cadet Flannaghan, I presume?” he asked, a little too loudly.

OOC: Thank you I will remember to do that. Looking forward to this check in to.

IC: Shane was about to press the button again as he thought there was no response at first when he heard a very loud “Enter” from the otherside of the door. He began to wonder if he had come at a bad time.

Walking through the door he saw that the chief was wearing some kind of strange hearing device. Thinking to himself ‘Oh his body must have rejected the standard hearing implants, and he must be hard of hearing.

The office not being huge, did not automatically close the door when he entered as he was still being registered as in the doorway by the sensors so the doors were open when Lt (jg) responded with “Cadet Flannaghan, I presume?” he asked, a little too loudly.

Wanting to be conscientious Flannaghan responded with “Cadet Flannaghan rep…. Err Yes Sir” at a quiet yell.
