Blimey, since when did an airlock feel like snow season back home? The thought crossed Marcus Anders’ mind as he stepped onto the deck of the USS Sentinel for the first time. Anders had seen pictures of vessels like these while attending a ‘Ships of the Line’ seminar before his final exam at the Academy, but he wasn’t prepared for how long some of the corridors were. He was already starting to get in other officers’ way as he awkwardly stumbled his way into the fray. Anders managed to come across a petite Security Officer, her red uniform starting to blend in with the wall she was leaning against and coughed as a way of getting her attention, she glared and arched an eyebrow.“Excuse me lass?” The young Ensign began, “I’m looking for the Chief of Security’s office, I need to check in.” The woman rolled her eyes and pointed at a deck layout stuck to the opposite wall, “Check that,” she replied flatly. Kyle nodded awkwardly and scanned the diagram, before making his way to Deck 5.
As Marcus came across the CSO’s office, he cracked his knuckles in the same way he always did when he was nervous and stepped through the door, “Ensign Marcus Anders, reporting as instructed sir.”

Ford glanced up from the day’s duty roster. “Good morning, Ensign,” he said, eyes drifting back down to the clipboard. “Welcome aboard the Sentinel.” He lifted a pencil and noted a few changes then dropped the clipboard with a clatter before crossing to the ensign with his hand held out.
“I’m Lieutenant Fordham, but you can call me Ford. Follow me.” He led them out across the armory towards the weapon lockers. “What brings you to Starfleet?” he asked, pressing the locker code on the 10-key keypad.

Marcus accepted the handshake and followed his new Department Head out into the armory. The Ensign chuckled to himself in response to the question, “Bit of a happy accident in all honesty Lieutenant. When I was younger, an incident involving two Starfleet officers and a phaser set on maximum stun! After several profuse apologies and a few interesting questions, I realised that I was intrigued by the kind of things Starfleet gets up to. I signed up for the Academy as soon as I was eligible and have been training in Security ever since, though I do dabble in Engineering when the need arises.”

Ford opened the locker as Marcus answered, removing one of the phasers within and a clipboard hanging on the inside door. He flipped the phaser over, reading something from the bottom and writing on the clipboard. He handed the clipboard and phaser over. “Please double check that matches the serial number on the phaser and sign for receipt,” he said. “Maximum stun? That’s never fun, for anyone. Were you the one hit?”
