“My first posting!” Rhese Bowman thought to himself as he stepped foot onto the turbolift. Excitement was hardly the most appropriate word that could describe the flood of emotion racing through his mind; was it nervousness? Surely that was part of it too, he thought, as he fidgeted a bit. He looked down at his tunic and noticed it wasn’t quite perfect, and quickly made an adjustment so as to present himself as perfectly as possible to his superiors. Just then, the lift slowed to a halt and the doors hissed open, and Bowman stepped out with a quick pace, a sense of purpose driving each step he took, as he counted them in his mind – committing the route to memory. “Before long,” he thought to himself as he continued counting his steps, “I’m going to know this ship like the back of my –” and before he could finish the thought, he noticed he had arrived at the door to the Chief Science Officer’s office. “Huh! Only 32 steps from the turbolift!” he said aloud, before he noticed that he’d attracted a wondering look from a crewman who had happened to be walking by at that moment. Bowman nodded nervously towards the crewman, as a sheepish grin appeared on his face, and he reached out and pressed the chime to the CSO’s office.
