As Charlie peered out of the narrow window on her shuttle she craned her neck to get her first glimpse at her new home. NE Driver at the helm smirked as he watched the eager officer trying to sneak a peak. “Don’t worry, we’ll be arriving soon, he chuckled as they began their final approach and the ship came into view for the first time.

Charlie took a deep breath and tried to calm her nerves. Although this was her third posting out of the academy, this was her first time as a department head and she wasn’t really sure what to expect, she just hoped she was up to the task.

As they approached the Sentinel, NE Driver opened the comm line.

=/\= Ensign Driver calling USS Sentinel requesting permission to dock with one Lt (jg) Bailey =/\=

Charlie got a little flutter of excitement hearing her new rank as she waited expectantly for the reply.

Lt (jg) Bailey (CMO)
