"New Beginnings"

Personal Log: 26 May 2157Saul De GenzaXO, UES Challenger, NX-05 Saul entered his quarters on the UES Rio. He was big. Standing at a staggering 6'4", he had to often duck just to come through the doors to his quarters. His frame was wide and strong. He had short brown hair, spiked in the front, deep brown eyes and tanned/olive skin.

The Rio was outdated. A slow "clunker" that had been through alot. She had recently been re-fit with the biggest engines they could put on her, Warp 4. Slow by modern standards, the trip had taken some time. Infact, the Rio picked him up from his last mission 2 months ago and was recently diverted to the Challenger.

The Rio was en-route to the Challenger, NX-05. The fifth one of her line started, but the second completed. Advanced technology, the likes he had only experimented with in simulations, was coursing throughout the Challenger's veins.

Saul was excited. He looked in the mirror as he placed on his new uniform. He had recently been promoted to Commander after just having come off a delicate Classified Mission, during his debrief.

He stared into the mirror. Only a few more minutes before he would be shuttled aboard the Challenger and meet the crew. He was nervous, excited, and scared, but he had one thing going for him. He KNEW he was in the moment. Everything was going right. Nothing could go wrong, and he was going to make sure it stayed that way.

As he gathered the last of his belongings, a young Ensign came to the door and took his bags to the Shuttle Bay. Saul took one last look in the mirror, and this time, he smiled.
