“Don’t wish for it, Ben, really. I could have done with half of the ‘forging’ I’ve been through. Somewhere along the line I went from being a tactically minded captain of a tactical destroyer to a captain who wouldn’t mind a bit of calm on her beast of a cruise ship,” Ghubari said wistfully. “Not enough to be bored, of course. Just enough to feel like we’re not constantly sparring with death.”

Ben waved the water, probably meant to be some sort of acknowledgement but really just seemed like he couldn’t hold his… water “I’m fine with not being a forged man. Hell I was fine with being a junior officer but they just kept making me Chief. My life plans didn’t have me as Chief MO til I was Thirty, which I am, now but I wasn’t five years ago when they first promoted me.”

“Now that you’ve done it, would you have it any other way?” Ghubari asked, propping one heel on the edge of her seat, add resting her arm across her knee so she could prop up her head with her hand.

Benjamin shrugged “I dunno, I have all this experience, running sickbays and surgical wings. When I put in my Starship transfer request last year I got offers from several Civilian Hospitals on Colony and Homeworlds. Maybe I’ll do that in ten years, retire somewhere remote like Oed V or new France and run a hospital” He chuckled “Well I guess you’re right, I wouldn’t change anything.”

She chuckled. “It’s hard for people like us, Ben. We like the idea of a quieter life, but once presented with it we quite often decide that what we have is far better, even if it is crazy-inducing.”

“I guess that’s why the fleet has such a history of having restless and antsy older officers. They all miss the excitement of the frontier or something similar. Well at least here’s to hoping that our next mission will be a tad less exciting than our last”
