Another Beginning

Mission: Nothing To Fear...
Location: Wayfarer, Deck 8
Timeline: Just before departure from DS9

Lt. Basil Dampfish approached the Wayfarer, using the access hatch instead of the teleporter. An ensign scrambled to his feet.

"Uh, Lieutenant, I …"

"At ease, Ensign. In the future, expect the unexpected. I will be testing." The ensign gulped and nodded as Basil stepped across the threshold. The smells and sounds of another starship wrapped around Basil, sensations he had experienced many times in the past.

Deck eight, the true heart of Tactical. Sensors and phasers, most importantly, and other miscellaneous equipment like life support. He took the right-hand turn into the Science bay, dropping his duffel by the door as people started reacting to his entrance.
"Ahem. I am Lieutenant Basil Dampfish, Chief Technical Officer, newly assigned to the Wayfarer. Who is senior at the moment?"

"Ensign Lennox, sir," said a swarthy human as he stepped forward. "We are expecting a general crew recall momentarily."

"Yes. Well. Start a Level Two diagnostic on the sensor array and phaser emitters. Good to see you; we'll be talking later. Carry on," he continued to the other people in the room. He picked up his duffel as he reached the door.

OFF:
Cutting it off here, as the ship has already launched.
