First Day

[Erik Ashton 0]

As Erik sits at the Helm station he thinks "Wow this is nothing like the Midgard!". When he first learned that he was being transferred to a deep space command, he was excited. Well why shouldn't I be? Isn't that why I joined starfleet? He liked to tell himself that, but he knew it was not the truth. The real reason was that life aboard the Midgard was old, and boring. He had always wondered as a child what it would be like to be the big boy on the block, and not just a hobo wandering across the galaxy wasting his life. "But now here I am, one of the big boys" He really was impressed by the sheer size of the Reaent, it must be at least 10 times the size of his parents' ship. He also liked the people he had met, especially Lit, or Ensign Lit Remy. She is the acting security chief, and was very helpful and kind, perhaps it is because she too, is relatively new to the command. he is looking forward to work with her more. He is lost in the situation of the ship, not sure what he should do or say, but hopefully that will come to him in time. And now back to the Nav sensor diagnostics.
