“Deck 7.” While the turbolift were ascending, a smile crossed Rodrick’s face. He was repeating to himself: Cadet Rodrick Baker, USS Challenger. It sounded right. Like most of the Starfleet Academy applicants, Rodrick Baker dreamed about exciting deep space missions aboard the finest ships since he was a little boy. But he didn’t think he would actually succeed to join the Academy, until he received the recorded message: “Congratulation…” He knew he would remember his whole life the feeling he had, how his heart jumped when he heard this first word.
The turbolift stopped, waking up the young Cadet. He started walking on the long corridor, trying to look confident, like an experienced Starfleet officer. Experienced, he was not, no more than confident. In a way, he still thought he was not in the right place. Damn, this ship is huge, he felt. How not to get lost? He already had issues finding his quarters, and locate the Security Station was not easy task either. “That would be a great place to play Hide and Seek.” he though aloud in the deserted corridor, smiling even more at this idea.
Cadet Baker lost his smile when he saw the door of Lieutenant Tavium’s Office. He was not panicked, that would be exaggerated, but he was definitely anxious. He waited few seconds, still, and then pressed the door chime.
