Ensign Johnathan Baptiste carried his duffel bag and PaDD onto the shuttle craft that would take him to his new assignment and home, the USS Ark Angel. He was excited, and forlorn apprehensive all at the same time. He was excited to be moving onto a new assignment and ship, but at the same time apprehensive as he was no longer a cadet; but a bonafide Ensign. He would be working with a new crew and command staff. Finally, he was forlorn, he had really enjoyed his time on the cadet ship USS Challenger, and especially his time with cadet, now ensign, P’Mala Dawes. He would have liked to spend more time with her, but as fates would have it he was off to a new chapter in his life. He decided he would use the transition time in the shuttle craft from the Challenger to the Ark Angel to review some of the important crew members on his PaDD, as well as the Ark Angels ship specifications. Best to try and be prepared as one could he thought to himself.
