OOC: If there are any mistakes let me know. Its been a long while since I have made a post =)

The bar was filled with a loud cracking sound as the cue ball hit the tightly racked billiard balls and sent them scattering across the green felt. JT watched as the 5 ball made its way into a corner pocket and smirked at the displeased looking Ferengi on the other side of the table “Solids it is.” JT rubbed it in as he lined up for his next shot. Moments later the cue ball made its way down the table and off the back rail at a 30 deg angle before making contact with the number 7 ball sending it into the side pocket. JT smirked again.
“You must be cheating!” exclaimed the disgruntled Ferengi in a nasally voice ” I didn’t even get a turn last game!”
“Hey man, I offered to let you break last game but you insisted that I do it. ” JT responded in defense “Next time, take the offer” he added
“No! You are cheating!” Insisted the Ferengi as he drew a small phaser from his pocket and pointed it at him
Just as JT was about to react a loud chime from the intercom filled the room as the program paused =/\= Lt Robinson, Please report to Commander Lindsey’s office =/\=
Looking at the frozen in place Ferengi, JT shook his head and sighed Every time he thought to himself annoyed “End Program” he said aloud to the computer and instantly the room reverted to its powered down appearance. Exiting the holodeck JT took a left and made his way to the nearest turbo lift.
A few minutes later he found himself outside the Commander’s officer and hit the buzzer. =/\=Enter=/\= came a reply and the doors slid open revealing the middle aged Commander sitting behind his desk. Behind him was a large window with several ships in view.
“You asked to see me, Commander?” JT asked
“Yes, I did. Thank you for coming so quickly” the Commander started “We just got word from the USS Memorial that they are in need of a new Helmsman and Shuttle pilot. Your name is next on the assignment list so you are hereby assigned.” Handing JT a PADD with his orders he continued” I know you have been here at 243 for the last few months I am sure you are eager to get back out there. “
“Yes sir, I am” JT Replied ” If I had to shuttle around one more “Dignitary” around, I was going to launch myself out an airlock” he added
Ignoring the lieutenant’s last statement the Commander looked at his notes and added” It looks like the Memorial is ready to leave as soon as you are aboard, Their request seems to have gotten held up somehow and unfortunately now we are under the gun to fill the spot ASAP so that doesn’t leave you much time to get packed and get over there. Dismissed lieutenant.”
JT nodded and turned about and exited the commander’s office and made his way to his quarters to do a quick pack job and ship out before he got left behind.
An hour later JT found himself materializing on a transporter pad aboard the Memorial. Stepping off the pad he saw a crewman awaiting his arrival “Permission to come aboard?” he asked
“Granted sir” replied the NCO ” If you will follow me, I will show you to your quarters. The XO and CO are awaiting your check in and be sure to also check in with Medical and the Counselor. “Ive sent details of the ship and any other information you may need to your PADD. Your belongings have already been brought to your cabin.”
“Thank you crewman” JT replied with a smile as they approached his cabin. shes kinda cute he thought to himself as he looked over the NCO as she walked away. Entering his cabin he shook the thought off “Plenty of time for that later. First I need a shower, cant be meeting the CO smelling like stale holographic beer” he said to himself .
