Posted by Ensign Dr. Johnathan Baptiste (Doctor) in In transit to the USS Ark Angel
Ensign Johnathan Baptiste carried his duffel bag and PaDD onto the shuttle craft that would take him to his new assignment and home, the USS Ark Angel. He was excited, and forlorn apprehensive all at the same time. He was excited to be moving onto a new assignment and ship, but at the same time apprehensive as he was no longer a cadet; but a bonafide Ensign. He would be working with a new crew and command staff. Finally, he was forlorn, he had really enjoyed his time on the cadet ship USS Challenger, and especially his time with cadet, now ensign, P’Mala Dawes. He would have liked to spend more time with her, but as fates would have it he was off to a new chapter in his life. He decided he would use the transition time in the shuttle craft from the Challenger to the Ark Angel to review some of the important crew members on his PaDD, as well as the Ark Angels ship specifications. Best to try and be prepared as one could he thought to himself.
As his PaDD went over various names, the Counselor, Marlaa, oddly no last name, came up as a flagged officer he needed to see with during his check in on the ship. Medical was first, and after the counselor, he was given his department head as next in the line.
His birthing assignment would also be in the Boarding Orders.(*) There was also a map of the ship, broken into sections and floors, as well as reminders for password setting, accessing his personal files, and how to send messages and files from the ship to those he wanted to keep in touch with.
Finally, there was a letter of welcome from the Captain. While it would seem more like a form letter than a personal missive, it was still polite and well written. It might even make one wonder if the Captain had written it, or someone with a more fluent tongue.

(*) My apologies, mixed up ship specs. Ensigns/Jr officers have their own room. No roommate. Adjusted post accordingly… Sorry .. Welcome aboard.
