Mission: The Departure
Location: USS Eminence
Timeline: Current

:ON:

Alastair Ashens stepped onto the deck of the Eminence for the first time and looked around. Taking in the sights, sounds and smells, he smiled to himself. This would be the first time in his twenty-year Starfleet career that he had served onboard a Saber-class starship. An opportunity he couldn’t pass on when the chance came along.

Alastair moved through the corridors of the ship with confidence. Despite having only earned his commission two years ago, the man had served as a “non-com” for many years before that. His current rank was deceptive, and he probably had more experience in Starfleet than some of the senior staff.

Turning a final corner, he looked at the door that was in front of him. “ACZ-141.” He said to himself quietly. “In other words, my quarters.”

Alastair stepped forward and the doors opened with a quiet hiss. He entered the room almost tentatively, not quite sure what to expect. “Computer, lights.”

The room illuminated almost instantly to reveal the spacious quarters. Not as big as he would have gotten where his rank Lieutenant Commander or above, but more than adequate for him and his needs. Alastair historically only ever used his quarters for sleeping in, choosing to spend any down-time he had in the gym. If there had been nothing else other than a comfortable bed in here, he would have been happy.

Setting his bags down in the corner of the room, he slumped onto the couch with a satisfied sigh. He had a lot of work ahead of him onboard this ship. This could be the last opportunity he had to rest for quite some time.
