“We should be coming into view of the Manhattan in a moment, sir.” NE Williams said to the half-asleep Bajoran in the rear of the shuttle. Zakene jumped slightly, reaching up and taking off his earring. He only wore it when he was off duty, as he never got it approved as a cultural variation of the Starfleet uniform, so he stuffed it into his pocket.
He moved to the front of the shuttle, taking the empty seat as he stared out at his new home. It was a lot different from the medical ships he previously served on. Williams was one of the many pilots-for-loan that Starfleet kept on staff for this very purpose, in this case flying shuttles between various ships with crew transfers.
“Thank you, Ensign.” Zakene said, entering in a few commands. “Preparing the shuttle for docking with the ship.” Williams replied, and after a beep from the controls, looked at Zakene and said, “Captain Cochrane will meet us as soon as we touch down.” Zakene nodded, moving to the rear and picking up his bag.
As the shuttle landed, the door opened into a ramp off, and Zakene walked down it, taking in the hustle and bustle of a true Starship.
