Posted by Captain Parker Xavier (Lt. Governor) in Star Port
The Captain made his way to the Star Port. He did not visit it enough. He went to his office for a few minutes but found that he yearned to get on the Bridge of the Centurion so he went to its dock. Currently it was not manned so he boarded it alone. Being a small ship it took not time to get to the Bridge. With auxiliary lighting on he sat in the Captains chair. His chair. How he missed the bridge of the Ark Angel as he commanded it so many times. He missed the feel of traveling through space. Watching crew do their jobs and taking on the next mission.

All of which he had given up to be the good soldier of SF and go to Oed. However times like this he could at least pretend he was a starship captain. If only for short times.

Suddenly a female officer walked in holding a PaDD in her hand doing a routine check through. She did not notice him at first and nearly jumped out her skin when she turned and saw him there.

“Wow you scared me silly!” She exclaimed. “Your here to help do a walk through of the Bridge systems?”

Xavier said nothing at first. She was pretty and about 30 years of age of not a bit older. Dark black hair and dark brown eyes. Petite but not curvy in her uniform. He did not recognize her but saw Lt. pips.

“Not really but I’m happy to help out.” He answered. “Oh and sorry for the fright.”

She stood back a moment and then saw the pips. It hit her like a brick.

“I am so sorry Captain. I did not recognize you. I mean I know who my commanding officer is…well..I did not expect you here.” She stammered and then just stopped talking.

“Its ok Lt. I’m the one out of place. Just visiting the ship I guess. Really though I would like to help. First it would be nice to know your name or is it Lt?” He said jokingly. However he could see it was having the opposite effect.

“Its Genevieve Garces Captain.” She said nervously. ” I mean sure if you want to help.”

It was obvious she was not sure herself.

He then took the PaDD from her hand and looked at it.

“Believe it or not Genevieve I think I can manage not to screw this up too much. I can run the weapons system check first if that is ok?” He asked.

“Sure. Yes that is great.” She answered. She turned from him as he moved over to the weapons station. She bit her lip and took a breath. This was the big man. She hoped she didn´t screw up something this simple.
