Pascal was looking forward to seeing his CSO again, Lt. Woods was someone he got on with on a deep level and just bounced off.

“Even if it was for a very short time…” he said to himself

Walking around the deck he started to remember his reason for joining this ship, the history of his father still puzzled him, the need and desire to find out what happened when he was lost in duty all those years ago burned deep down for answers.

Approaching the CSO’s office he became eye level with the name on the door, reached out, and requested entry.
