Boarding the Atlantis through a docking port at the outpost, Anjo was rather pleaed to be leaving the mess that was his family behind him. Great Grandma Kiwa was in the final months of her life, and while others such as his cousins may have been sad at the news, Anjo was … relieved. Relieved that torture she had put his parents and grandparents through would soon be behind them. Would anything come to him? He doubted it. But that too was a relief, he wanted nothing from her, he needed nothing from her. It was why he joined Starfleet, he needed to be free of the influence of her on his life. But that was why his decision two weeks earlier was so strange.He went to see her in her aged care centre. Even though the wizened old woman had made it clear she wanted nothing to do with him, he went to see her. She put on her usual performance during his visit, which was that he was the best of her descendants and the others were thoughtless. He spoke up for them and ended up having to leave when the nursing staff asked him to stop exciting her. He left and shrugged, he would probably be on the outer with her now, not that it bothered him too much, he didn’t need much beyond his uniform, his phaser and his collection of nail clippings. And the uniform and phaser were Starfleet issue.
Yes, his collection of nail clippings was his most prized collection and he always looked for opportunities to expand it. Whereas most kids his age growing up would collect ships in bottles, cards of their favourite starfleet captains, alien bobble heads or books, Anjo collected nail clippings of fellow cadets, teachers, lecturers and department heads, even aliens he encountered on away team missions. He gave himself extra points if he achieved it without them knowing about it.
He walked on board the Atlantis, handed over his transfer orders to the officer on duty and got his quarters assignment - Deck 10. He headed towards the closest turbolift that would take him to the deck.
- Ens Kiwa, Sec
OOC: Nail clippings? That rivals, if not exceeds, my collecting stray whiskers dropped by the cat … perhaps I will meet Anjo in the waiting room of the counselor’s … greetings Russ!
