It had been a long four day trip to the Outpost, and the newly minted Lieutenant Commander was ready to be out of the confines of the transport; even though he had a room to himself. So when a voice came over the comms and said =/\= Ladies and Gentlemen, please prepare for arrival at Outpost 42 =/\=, Charles ‘Skip’ Tenkiller breathed a sigh of relief.

Double checking to make sure he had everything he brought to the room with him in the bag his mother and sister had made for him when he first left for Star Fleet, he exited the room dressed in civilian clothes and made his way to the observation deck. Out of the transparent aluminum window, he could see the outpost floating gracefully in orbit; rotating slowly above the planet Gamma Tiltium IV. Several ships were in the process of leaving and docking, and Tenkiller watched the ballet for a few minutes until he saw the docking clamps on the pylons activate. “That’s my cue.” he mumbled to himself and began walking to to docking hatch.

Charles allowed the vast majority of the passengers to disembark before he stepped through. He wasn’t in a rush, he was here for the foreseeable future. If he was honest with himself, and he tried to be that as much as possible, he acknowledged that he was actually kind of disappointed. He wanted a ship… and he had developed a taste for the center chair. His brief time as XO had, according to all the superiors he had spoken with, been successful. But… “Star Fleet is as Star Fleet does.” he mumbled again. And looking at the station, he wasn’t not excited. The Outpost was, at least, some place his experience and skills would be useful. And as a station, his duties would be a lot more varied than any ship. Charles grinned slightly. No, this was a good assignment… and he was going to do his damndest to make sure it was successful.

As the last of the passengers disembarked, Tenkiller hoisted the bag off the deck and made his way to the security checkpoint. He watched the security officers scan the incoming passengers and clocked their movements. Most were at least following most of the guidelines and protocols; but there was one who was obviously going through the motions. Tenkiller grinned internally, and made his way to that line.

Walking through the scanner, he watched as the NE simply waved him through and yawned a bit. Charles saw the scanner display register an anomaly, but no registered contraband. Tenkiller looked at the NE and said “You need to see in the bag, Mister?” and the NE just waved him on. Tenkiller just nodded and smiled and moved through. As he passed the NE, he opened the bag and reached to the metal box inside, sliding his thumb across the lock and opening it. Inside, he took out the Type 1F Phaser and charged the cell to Heavy Stun and raised it above his head and pressed the firing stud. Immediately, a beam of energy shot out and hit the ceiling. Alarms activate immediately and the surrounding security staff looked around and finally settled eyes on Tenkiller and drew their weapons. Tenkiller immediately dropped the phaser and raised his hands. Under the din of shouting voices and running boots, he was counting.

Tenkiller, Incoming CoS

The calm and confident voice of a younger sounding man came over the comm. =^= Ops to Docking Bay 2. We’re reading a weapon discharge in your location. Security is on the way. Please report. =^=

As one of the Security staff started to speak, Tenkiller held up his hand and said “No no. I got this one, Ensign.” and then tapped his left breast… where one would keep a commbadge. =/\= Ops. Lieutenant Commander Charles Tenkiller, newly appointed Chief of Security. Authorization code Beta-gamma-Nine-Seven-Echo. =/\= and the eyes of the staff went wide as his Oklahoma accent drawled out their fate. =/\= Yes, that was me. Apologies, but I was testing the passenger arrival checkpoint to see what I was going to be working with before my staff knew who I was. Getting an unbiased and representative sample of where station Security stood. Can’t say that the test went well, Ops. Can’t say that at all. =/\=
