New Beginnings, Part II

New Beginnings, Part II”

 

Log entry 02(46): SD 9401.09

 

 

 

 

“It's always tough giving up command of a ship, especially when it's your first one” said the admiral, as the two men walked along the corridors of Spacedock. “It sure is, bro” replied Rolf. Admiral Hans Seiben smiled. “Never mind, how about we go down to the bakery and get ourselves some donuts and coffee?”

 

 

 

 

“Always with your donuts and coffee, eh?” smirked Rolf. Admiral Seiben shrugged. “What can I say? It's an addiction” Ever since the admiral graduated academy and started on the USS Hood, almost 30 year ago, he developed a penchant for the pastry as well as for coffee, double crème, double sugar. But then, everybody who ever served on the Hood, felt the same.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“They're really good though. I managed to nab the Hood's chef after its decommissioning. He still mean donut and some brilliant coffee” Hans added. The two brother stepped into a lift. Hans set down his cane and leaned against the lift wall for support. Ever since he was injured in battle on the Hood 22 years ago, he needed to use that cane to walk.

 

 

 

 

Hans wouldn't forget the day when three birds of prey ambushed and attacked the Hood. He didn't expect the Klingons would do something so dishonourable such as that, but then nobody did. Hans severely injured his right leg and both of his arms, while he was working to fix the engines when a torpedo blast ripped through Engineering.

 

 

 

 

When he was brought back to Earth for treatment, prosthetic arms and legs were required to replace his original limbs blown off in the attack. It gave the admiral the ability to walk and use his arms again, but it also required him to use a cane, due to the amount of walking he has to do around the station. It was more of a precautionary measure really.

 

 

 

 

Hans could walk, and even run just fine for about 30 minutes or so. But after that, then his leg would give him trouble and he'd need to use his cane. The lift stopped and dinged open. Hans grabbed his cane and followed his brother out to the promenade. “It's right over here” Hans pointed out the small bakery. They went inside and ordered some donuts and coffee.

 

 

 

 

Unlike his brother, Rolf didn't really eat too much junk foods. If anything, he took after his two muscle bound, fitness crazed cousins Hanz and Franz, though not nearly to their extreme fitness attitude. Even at 47, he had a muscular build that rivaled Schwarzenegger's. Or so he'd like to think.

 

 

 

 

Their donuts and coffee arrived, and the two brothers started to dig in. “So, how's the progress going along with my new ship?” asked Rolf. Hans shrugged. “The new regulations are probably going to delay the Challenger's construction, but from what I can see, it's going along okay. But then, you'll see soon enough”

 

 

 

 

“Oh? How soon is soon?” asked Rolf. “A few days” replied Hans. “A transport is scheduled to take you to Utopia Planetia where you'll be slated to supervise the Challenger construction project” Rolf bit into his donut. “A days.. alright, thanks” Hans nodded and downed the rest of his coffee. “Sure” Together, they finished their meals and toured the rest of the station.
