The Pie
by Captain Keith Ketchum

Keith walked into his office at Starbase 12, the Avalon had left only a few 
hours before, picking up Commander Skyler and Doctor Alexis Cazook.  The 
doctors on the station for the conference were also returning to their posts 
around 
the galaxy.  Doctor Brookman was on a shuttle back to Starfleet Medical on 
Earth.  Finally the station would be getting back to normal.

That's when he saw it.  A pecan pie on his desk, he only knew one person that 
would have sent him a pecan pie.  Georgia.

He sat at the desk and took a deep whiff of the pie.  'Ah'.  Before he even 
took a bite of the pie, he sent a thank you note directly to Ensign Georgia 
Jackson on the USS Avalon.

The Avalon.  He was going to miss the ship and her crew.  But he knew that 
someday that this change would come.  It was inevitable.  Sitting back in his 
chair, he cut a piece of pie, and turned towards the windows and looked out, 
while he ate it.  One day, maybe when he was an Admiral, he would have the 
Avalon 
back, as his own ship.
