<USS Avalon> On Board

On Board

By Kevin Stephens

 

 

Kevin hadn?t had his orders an hour before he arranged transport to the Avalon. 
 Finally! Finally out of school.  Twelve years of studies and teachers and damn 
students continually wasting my time.  Now I finally have a chance to put 
twelve years and four degrees to use.  

 

As Kevin stepped out of the shuttle craft and into the shuttle bay of the 
Avalon, an attractive young woman greeted him. ?Hi. Welcome aboard Ensign 
Stephens. I?m Petty Officer Amanda Kritchner.? She exuberantly stated, and 
offered Kevin a handshake.

 

?Can you direct me to my superior officer or my quarters??  Kevin responded 
ignoring the woman?s hand.

 

Petty Officer Kritchner?s smile immediately disappeared. ?No need to report in 
Sir.? She responded emphasizing ?Sir.? ?We are operating on a skeleton crew 
while most folks are taking shore leave on the planet.  Lt. Commander Manson 
instructed me to give you this.? She handed him a PADD. ?It has your quarters 
assignment and duty instructions on it.  Do you need anything else sir??

 
Kevin merely shook his head no and she immediately spun on her heals and left.  
Wonder if something was bothering her, He thought to himself as he picked up 
his single bag of luggage.
