As he walks in and grabs some food and then he sits down. “Well sir sir the whole story behind the name Hawkeye is I know that a lot of things and that you’ll never know. I’ve always been like that. My parents named me after my mothers father. Her fathers name was Hawkeye Pierce. He works at starfleet medical and ever since then I’ve always growing with that name so that’s why I was named Hawkeye.” Said Hawkeye.

Ensign Hawkeye Logan.

It pleased the captain to see another with an appetite as hearty as his own and, for several moments, he remained quiet and allowed the lad to enjoy his food. But eventually, the questioning continued.
“So, being Starfleet runs in your family then, eh? Mine too,” he nodded without further elaboration. “I like the name. It suits you.”

Cobb got to his feet and began to stretch his legs a little, although never straying too far from his desk and the easy reach of coffee.
“Why the Anomaly Recovery Unit?” he asked suddenly. “This is a singular, highly specialised and incredibly dangerous unit. And in my experience officers only come to us by one of two ways - either by choice, having experienced an anomaly in the past, or,” he ceased his pacing and fixed Hawkeye with an inquisitive glare, “or they’re forced here, as punishment for some past sin or transgression. So which is it with you, eh, lad? Do you have an interest in our work with anomalies? Or was this your only alternative to some godsforsaken penal colony on some godsforsaken rock?”

“All of it is a yes sir. I have always been wanting to do everything that I can do.”

“I see,” Cobb mused. Logan was a closed book, it seemed. Not willing to give anything away. “Everything? Even…cage cleaning? Organ disposal? Autopsy lab disinfecting duty? There are many jobs on here that the average officer would run away from in horror. Especially where the anomalies are concerned.”

Leaning in close, Cobb placed his hands on the armrests of Hawkeye’s chair, bringing his face only inches from the Ensign’s own.
“You’re not…afraid of anomalies, are you, lad?”
