Wet Behind the Ears

[Sean Keane 0]

Sean walked down the corridor, looking closely at the doors, hoping to find the one to his quarters. “Ha!” he exclaimed as he finally found the right door. When he entered the commands into the small touchpad next to it the door slid open.

 

Walking into the room Sean grinned broadly. This was his new home. Granted, it did not quite look like home, yet but he'd add a personal touch to the standard issue quarters soon enough. He slowly made his way through the room, looked at the desk, the replicator and finally sat down on the sofa and leaned back.

 

This was what he'd been waiting for ever since he had graduated from the Academy three months ago. It had taken a while until Sean had received his orders and then just as he had been assigned to a ship it had been blown up. He did not understand why and he decided it would be better if he didn't even try.

 

Sean took a deep breath and felt a rush of excitment run through his whole body. He was going on a deep space mission. It had been a dream of his for as long as he could remember. He got up and dropped his small bag with the few personal belongings into the chair behind the desk. Then he took another glance around the room before he walked out of the doors again. He just had to go to sickbay and see where he'd be working.
