<USS Avalon> Returning to the Avalon

Returning to the Avalon
by Captain Keith Ketchum

The shuttle returned him to the starboard side of the ship, the Ops officers 
were to keep the return quiet from Commanders Skyler and Commander Sierra.  
Ketchum didn't want them fighting over who would get to talk to him first.

He knew them, too well.

Keith waited on the transport shuttle, "USS Avalon, this is Captain Keith 
Ketchum, awaiting transport."

Phillipa had an earpiece in, so that the rest of the bridge didn't know of 
the Captain's arrival.  "Captain, welcome back", Phillipa advised quietly from 
the Ops station, "We'll beam you to transporter room three.  Mr Manson will 
meet you there.  And keep you safe from the Rydyn Delegation."  She looked 
around 
the bridge, making sure that no one heard her.

Keith raised a brow, and was beamed to the transporter room with his stuff.  
Thats when he saw Anthony Manson.  "Permission to come aboard, Senior 
Lieutenant."

"Of Course, Fleet...", that's when Manson saw the collar, "Err. appears just 
Captain."

Keith nodded, "I gave up the rank to return to the Avalon.  Perhaps another 
day."

Together they walked towards the Captain's quarters, carefully avoiding the 
Commanders on the way.
