Preston began his day working out. Something he now did with less vigor than say even 10 years ago. He went for high rep and low impact workouts these days. He was more intent on keeping the waistline in check and staying somewhat tone than being stronger and faster than the next guy. After this he returned to his quarters, did all those monotone but necessary morning hygiene task, and dressed for work.

Today was a trip to the Starport where Xavier would also be. Not that he was intent on seeing his boss or being where his boss was. It was his rotational turn to be up there for a week and he had no issues with it. However Longstreet was and always would be that rare Starfleet officer. He was a ground lover. Raised on an asteroid and serving on planetary colonies had kept him…well grounded. He preferred real gravity or at the minimum assisted gravity. Not a ships or stations artificial system. This made him a rarity amongst officers who all wanted to blaze through the cosmos at warp speed. Not a physics expert by far he still reminded them when told this that they were, at given moment on a planet, blazing through the cosmos as well. It usually had little impact. For him it was fine.
