Posted by Ensign Paul Knight (Security Officer) in Presim Transporter Room Sentinel

Moments later Paul materialized on the transporter pad. As he was looking at the transporter console and the officer stationed there. “Permission to come aboard?” Paul requested to the officer. “Granted!” NE Storm commented as paul moved off the transporter pad. “Your belongings have been beamed to your quarters.” Ne Storm said kindly to Paul. As he stood there a moment is anyone meeting me here or am I on my own?” Paul asked calmly. “Accord to what I am gathering you’re on your own but that can change quickly.” the officer said calmly. “there is a locker over there to put your belongings in or I can get an officer to take it to your new quarters while you do your other assignments for your arrival.” the transporter officer said kindly. ” Please have someone take it to my quarters please.”Paul said kindly as he left the bag with them. As he moved towards the doors of the transporter room.

The door opened and in walked a woman in a braided bun, red hair, gold uniform and polished knee high boots and a PaDD hanging by a strap. “Storm, you know better. You knew I was on my way.” She grinned and held her hand out to the new arrival. “En Paul Knight? En Rand, yeoman. Welcome aboard.”

Yeoman Rand
“Well hello there Yeoman Rand is it.” Paul commented. Looking down at her noticing she was 3 inches shorter than he was. As he shook her hand. “Thanks for the kind welcome.” Paul said kindly looking at both of them.

Rand lifted her PaDD, “Well let’s get the formalities out of the way. If you’ll sign here that you’ve arrived and are who you say you are.” Storm snorted and Rand grinned. She found this particular paperwork idiotic but command wanted it filed so that’s what she did.

“Alright, here is your map of the ship, your duty roster for the day, ship’s schedule including meal offerings, and senior officer roster. Let’s start with your tour on deck 2 and the torpedo launch control.” Rand led the way out of the transporter room and to the nearest lift. “If the lifts are very down there are access ladders to the right of each one that run the entirety of the ship.”

Paul signed what he needed to sign. as he listened to her talk. “by all means Yeoman lead the way.” he said with a smile. He almost laughed when storm snorted. “how long have you been here yeoman?” Paul asked politely.

Rand waved to Storm as they left and the hum of the transporter sounded as Knight’s things were whisked off to his quarters. “I arrived on K7 3 months before the new Sentinel Independence class docked and was commissioned, straight out of the Academy. That was almost 2 years ago, under Cpt Carmichael. He left us and Cpt Rogers took over. Cmdr Alden, the XO has been here since the beginning. He’s also our CSO and you’ll find his office on deck 9, or most likely if he’s not on the bridge he’ll be in the biology lab. Cpt Rogers has a small office behind the bridge, but she tends to walk the ship, wants to know what is going on. She has a back ground in tactical.” They reached the lift, she entered, turned the handle, “Deck 2.” Rand was horrible at small talk never knowing quite exactly was the correct question to ask. “Did you encounter any problems on your way out En?”

“honestly no I had a Caition pilot that brought me here. the trip was rather fast and uneventful.” paul said calmly to the yeoman. “His voice was intoxicating. magical or soothing,” Paul said as he got lost in the thought. as the lift moved along.

Rand smiled slightly, “We had a Catian navigator for awhile. I never would have described her voice quite that way, but that is very accurate.” The lift stopped quickly, they had only moved one deck. Rand stepped out, “Torpedo and probe launch control, storage, and maintenance is on this deck. Escape pods are here, here, and over there.” Rand pointed them out as they moved around the deck. She stopped at each are giving Knight time to look around and speak to the officers on duty if he was so inclined.

Paul said with a smile. “I appreciate you taking the time to take me on this tour of the ship its much appreciated” paul looked over to the yeoman. “This tour will go far for me to get to know the ship better and make things easier for me to get to an area that I am needed more quickly and efficiently,” Paul said kindly to her.

“It’s not problem. I actually enjoy doing new crew orientation.” Rand carried herself a little overly formally, but there was a slight smile that conveyed she truly did enjoy her work. Her uniform was immaculate, no crease or fuzz or hair out of place, she strode along at a comfortable put purposeful pace. “Cpt Rogers and Cmdr Alden are very adamite that new crew is given a thorough orientation. They don’t want anyone feeling lost, confused, or like they can’t do their job to the best of their ability. This tour will show you the basic areas for your department and general crew facilities. Lt Anders will give you the more detailed security focused tour.” Rand could do it, but she wasn’t going to step on Anders’ toes. He was good at his job and had his own way of introducing his new officers.

Though her answers were exactly accurate, there was no air of rehearsal to them. She waved toward the next lift they came to. “Security suite is stationed centrally on deck 5. The armory, training room, brig, and security office is located there. Your quarters are also located on deck 5, central forward section.” The lift doors hissed open and she stepped out. “Security suite is to the left, quarters to the right. Which ever you’d like to see first.”
