Taban guided the shuttle towards the Europa’s shuttlebay, decelerating rapidly while he approached the aft of the Discovery-class ship. He slightly angled towards starboard as he passed the shuttlebay forcefield and lowered to the floor, finally sliding a few feet to a stop in the open space. The ensign opened the shuttle’s hatch and de-boarded, carrying his luggage over to the turbolift. Once he arrived on deck 5, he deposited his belongings in his quarters, then went in search of the Chief Science Officer’s office.

After exploring the ship for a while, Taban eventually arrived at the office door. He tapped his toes inside his uniform boot and rubbed the cranial ridge on his forehead as his other hand reached for the chime. “It’s fine,” he assured himself. “This is only the assignment I’ve been hoping for for 5 years. It’ll be great.“

Taban took a deep breath, reached forward, and pressed the chime.

“Come,” came the clipped response from the lone occupant of the office. Marsh’s door opened with a swoosh as it automatically responded to his voice.
The office was a reflection of the officer that owned it, but not dramatically so. There weren’t crests, swords, or images of knights. There was a painting of a vineyard and a manor house in the back ground and in front of the portrait was a man hunched before a computer monitor.

“Never get promoted, ensign.” He said without looking up. “The rank isn’t worth the paperwork.”

“I’ll…keep that in mind, sir,” Taban said, stepping inside the door. “Ensign Brook, reporting for duty. I just transferred on board from the Baum.”
He looked around the office, taking in and noting the few objects that adorned the walls. “I believe I’m to be assigned to the Xenobiology team?”
