Posted by Lieutenant Commander Rana Singh (Number One) in Meeting with the Captain
Rana had seemed to have had an epic ride to the Merrimack. Stored back in back of all sorts of things as if he were a carton of eggs. He now though thanked the pilots and wished them a good day. He then loaded all his clothing and other goods onto an antigrav sledge that he’d purchased. For he had found out early that he liked his comforts more than to stuff them all in a bag. He then took all his belonging and found his cabin easily, for this wasn’t his first time on such a vessel. He looked at himself in a mirror and pulled on his new uniform and brushed the sleeves, making sure that both his uniform and he were perfect. His honey colored face had been scrubbed clean, and his thick black hair was combed straight back He knew that he should go to get cleared by the ships physician first but he had read the orders for the current mission, and he wanted to have everything clear with his CO. Walking across the bridge that first time always bothered him and often embarrassed him. Just come out of the lift a stranger and walk to the CO’s door and buzz it as he did now.

The Captain was busy this morning. He wanted to see his CSO later, but first he needed to speak to a number of crew who were leaving. As Rana came in, he would pass Yeoman Faith Hopkins on his way. She had just informed the Captain that she would be taking up the offer of a place at Starfleet Medical and leaving the ship. She would be catching the shuttle that had brought Rana, and she was also taking Ginger, the ships cat with her. Her life had purpose once again; a new platform from which she can pick herself up from and start afresh. She feels that it doesn’t matter how long it takes her, that she’s going to get there now.

Upon hearing the buzz, the Captain called, “Enter, please!”

• Glen, CO

As Rana stood in front of the door, he could swear that he could feel the eyes of everyone on the bridge staring at him, evaluating him in some fashion. He was quite relieved when he finally heard Captain Glenn answer from the other side of the door. Rana moved quietly and easily as if he were walking into a museum as he crossed the area between the door and the captain’s desk where he handed over his data to Glenn and came to a stiff posture. His arms folded behind his back, his back ramrod straight and his eyes seeming to view some point above Glenn’s head and beyond that by a few hundred miles at least.” Sir!” Rana began,” Lieutenant Rana Singh reporting for duty sir!”
