After spending the better part of the last few months traveling, Adam finally was able to setting into his quarters on deck 7, USS Saracen. It took him about 3 months to travel from the Intrepid to the Saracen. He didn’t know when he got his transfer orders where he was going at first. He was just told that he had orders to transfer off the Intrepid to Starbase 32. He spent a few weeks there on temporary assignment, as a guest lecturer for fresh academy graduates enroute to their own assignments. After that, he was transferred again to Starbase 257 for an assignment which required him to be in civilian clothing. Some diplomatic assignment, which his superiors noted would give him experience in diplomatic functions, something he sorely lacked. Several hours prior to the start of the assignment, he received orders to transfer to the USS Saracen to assume the duties of the Executive officer.

He was able to study the crew roster and past duties prior to his arrival, but, due to all the transfers, he wasn’t able to change into his uniform until he got here, as his uniforms were in a separate baggage which was being beamed directly to his quarters. It didn’t take him long to change into his uniform.

He checked his appearance in the mirror, making sure that he was good to go before he went to meet the Captain. Satisfied with his appearance, he checked the daily log to see where the captain was. His ready room, good. Adam thought. He turned and set out, arriving on the bridge a few minutes later.

He took a good look at the bridge layout, nodding quietly to the officer on the bridge, who seemed to be staring at him as if he couldn’t believe what he saw, he walked over to the ready room and pressed the chime.
