Sasha bounded off the lift and almost ran to Engineering. What would he need? An landing party! He came into engineering proper and nearly ran into Lt Green. If the trim youth had collided it would have not moved the larger interrim chief engineer. He looked at Sasha with wary curiosity. “Going somewhere, Ensign?” he asked.

“Da!” he said. “The Captain picked me for the landing party. To investigate the shuttle that is impossible for it to be here.” To Green the man looked like a puppy that was told he could go for ‘walkies’ and afraid that it would be denied. The boy had grown up a lot recently but still had that ‘boy’ in him. He sighed as that information had not trickled down to him yet. Well, Serinde had had the last landing party mission. It was Gagarin’s turn.

“Well then, don’t let the Captain be left waiting for us.” He tipped his head in a way to gear up. “Scanner. Landing party engineering multitool and pack.” As Sasha made a move in the direction of the lockers, he said. “And Sasha.” When the gangly youth looked back, he continued. “Make us proud.”

“Yes, sir!” Sasha said before collecting the materials and stuffing them into a side satchel. The multitool was adjustable so it may fit with the old style shuttle components if necessary, a micro plasma cutter and the like. Running his hand through his short cropped hair he glanced into a reflective surface and saw the huge grin, the wide eyes, the pronounced widow’s peak that he bore and stood up straighter and put on a dignified proud look.

“Hey,” came a voice behind him that startled him. He blushed and turned. El was there leaning against the frame of the hatch that led to the machine shop. “I hear you pulled the landing party. Good for you. Give us a good story when you get back.”

“I will,” Sasha said, the grin reforming. He held still for more moments before realizing what he was doing, or not doing, then turned and jogged the route to the shuttle bay, arriving there before anyone else. Breathing hard he walked the gangway until he was next to Shuttle 2. It was humming slightly and the hatch was open. Seconds later a cocker spaniel jumped out followed by Rick. Nessa saw him and sat, tail wagging.

“I heard Pod 2 was going to go on the run. I’d been tuning up Pod 1 but they chose 2. Wanted to make sure it came up green on the board before they got there. So hey, Ensign, good luck. Bring us back a souvenir. We should have one for each mission, maybe something for a wall in the mess or somewhere.”

Sasha thought about that, shifting the satchel around on his shoulder. “I’ll .. I’ll try,” he said, thinking on the one side that that was a great idea, and on the other side of whether that was allowed. Lt Green would know those regulations. He knew them all. “Come on Nessa,” Rick said and moved past Sasha to leave and make room for the rest of the landing party, Nessa following close to his heel.
