Getting out of the turbolift, Alexander walked in the corridor leading to the Counselor’s Office for his mandatory meeting. It was his second, as he was re-affected for obscure administrative reasons. Hopefully, he didn’t mind the change, for the USS Chimera was assigned to a marine crew. It was the promise of some change to him, and to see another side of Starfleet, a more militarious one.

It sure is a nice change from my previous Miranda class, thought Alexander, his golden pupils glancing back and forth on the walls. The corridors were more luminous and smooth-edged than on his previous assignment, which was not hard to do. The Miranda class was a model that began to age poorly, and if it held a special place in his heart, the Lieutenant had to admit the superiority of the Mjolnir Class.

I can’t wait to see their Warp core, he smiled. A recent model, for a change ! Back on the USS Trial, the Warp Core was so unstable that they had to make a maintenance routine every year, and it was still programmed with the old Warpspeed chart. Glad to change, in the end. That’s the one thing I won’t miss from this ship.
His thoughts were quickly interrupted by a shiny plaque on the wall, indicating the Counselor’s office. Tucking his shirt and smoothing the edges, he pressed on the chime and waited
