The shuttle bay echoed with the usual hustle and bustle, arrivals and departures, cargo deliveries, the life blood of a Federation Starship preparing for deployment. Having recently arrived, Albert had paused in the middle of the bay to soak up the atmosphere, somewhat oblivious to the sidelong looks, stares, and meaningful coughs he was receiving from members of the deck crew as they were forced to divert around him.

“Ah!” He declared aloud, “Fascinating!” He took notes on his PaDD as he observed the reunion between two NE’s long separated. He didn’t need the PaDD but had long since found it made the mortals more comfortable if he used their technology to record his observations.

With a sigh, he put away the PaDD and turned to the NE that had been waiting patiently to get past him. “Ah, how helpful, could you please direct me? I believe I am meant to report my arrival.” Having received a rather exasperated series of directions, Albert set off, meandering along various corridors, taking in the feel of finally being aboard a Starship as he had been pushing for ever since he had joined Star Fleet. After all, where better to learn?

Arriving at the correct door, Albert hit the chime and waited patiently for a response, mentally filing away all he had observed in his brief time aboard.

Lieutenant Albert - Chief Science Officer
