Starbase 157......

“My name is Lieutenant Revna Edman,” a young officer handed her transfer papers to the crewman at the airlock of the ship she was about to board.

The young crewman looked up and down at the form and raised one eyebrow skeptically. “You requested the USS Atlantis and did not bring the CO coffee and think you can meet her before the third cup.... prepare to die!” He stamped the papers and gave her a smile. “And before you ask about the fairness of the Skipper playing favorites....Who says life is fair, where is that written? Its a crew thing. We all know without the Java....we’ll never survive!”

“Oh come on Bob that is ....Nonsense. You’re only saying that because no one ever has....arrived without coffee,” Bob handed the newest crewmember a PaDD with directions and floor plans for the ship. “Welcome aboard and for the record glad to have you.”

Okay so maybe this is a left-field intro but I do tell people to take chances when writing. Jen said she loved the Princess Bride so ten points if you can pick out the lines from the movie I used, albeit badly. :) On a serious note, I want to extend a huge hello to Jen Ward. She just joined the USS Atlantis in the counseling department. She has some great ideas and I can’t wait to set her loose on you all. Make your appointments and form an orderly line outside her office. Admiral Perkins is claiming we are crazy. I have said it is in the water so until Jen clears you all....stick to the bottles on decks 10, 15, 22, and 46.
