Ensign Genard had come aboard his new assignment with several other crew replacements. This Mythology class explorer was easily the biggest ship he had ever been aboard, and he was quietly excited to start this new chapter in his Star Fleet career. While the intake officer was explaining some protocol he already knew, Claude took stock of the assembled Junior Officers and enlisted crewmen. He easily noticed he was the eldest member in the room. At 1.8 meters he wasn’t that tall, but his dark curly hair and goatee seemed to set him apart somewhat from this younger counterparts.

Finally the presentation was over and he was free to enter freely the majestic USS Ark Angel. With a room assignment in hand, he wasn’t too happy to see his quarters were Deck 11. In fact most of this group was assigned to Deck 11, crewman and officer alike. Not an elitist, but Genard knew what it was like to work your way up, not to have a commission given to you just because you finished the Academy. He had hoped his experience would garner him a different assignment.
‘But things are just starting, Claude.’ he told himself, ‘Do a good job and you’ll be rewarded with a better room assignment.’

Ah, his assigned quarters at last. This would be his home away from home hopefully for a few years. With a deep calming breath he entered the door. His assigned quarters was a duel occupancy, and his roommate had already arrived. He quietly dropped is duffel bag on his bunk and went to extend his hand to his roommate.
“Hello, Claude Genard. From Terra.”

• Ens. Genard.
