Mission: S1E1: Out of the Barn
Location: Starbase 614
Timeline: Day 1 at 0830

It was a standard day on board Starbase 614. Various people moved here and there as they went about their various tasks.

One Starfleet officer in particular approached the docking port leading to a Luna-class ship, the U.S.S. Crazy Horse. He drew a few glances his way, which didn't surprise him - there weren't a lot of members of felinoid species in Starfleet. The Starfleet security guard assigned there perked up, sensing that he'd get a little relief from the boredom of his current assignment.

The approaching officer stepped up to the guard, who had the rank insignia of an ensign and looked like he was only a few months at most out of the Academy, and said, "Lieutenant Commander Alvar Othran, requesting permission to come aboard."

The guard picked up a padd and made a note. "'I've been notified to expect your arrival, Sir. Permission granted; welcome on board."

"Thank you, Ensign," Alvar said. "Are any of the other senior officers on board yet?"

"The captain's on board, Sir," the ensign said. "I'm not sure about any of the other senior staff yet. None have come this way since I've been on duty, though it's possible some may have arrive before I did, and I haven't had a chance to check in with the shuttlebay for a while."

"That's all right, Ensign. I'd better get moving, though," Alvar said. "Don't want to give everyone a bad impression on my very first day on the job by being one of the last ones to show up, now, do I?"

"Indeed not, Sir."

Nodding, Alvar headed onto the Crazy Horse

Stepping onto the turbolift, Alvar said, "Deck 2." He'd fortunately remembered to check where his quarters were before arriving (unlike with his assignment on the Ulysses, where he'd forgotten to check where his quarters were beforehand and where he'd spent a good 20 minutes wandering around the corridors before having to embarrassingly ask a lieutenant for help - a lieutenant who just happened to be his new department head); the new quarters he had been assigned here on the Crazy Horse were, interestingly enough, located not too far from his new office.

Soon arriving at the quarters that had been assigned him, he entered. Placing the few things he'd brought onto his bed, Alvar headed back to the door. He'd unpack later, after checking in with his new CO.
