Earth - Commander Richard Smith - The Next Morning

From Create Your Own Story

Commander Richard Smith woke up well rested and refreshed for his first full day back at the helm of the 5-EX. As he got out of bed and headed for the shower, a smile played about the corners of his mouth. He thought about last night and his date with the Admiral's daughter. Standing under the pulsating jets of water, he thought, 'she is a really sweet kid.'

Half way through breakfast at the B.O.Q. (Bachelor Officer's Quarters), he was joined by his Second Officer, Lieutenant Lawrence Moonwalker. The man looked like he had not slept much the night before and Commander Smith could only imagine what shenanigans the slightly younger Officer had been up to. But then he felt a twinge of guilt when he remembered what had happened between him and the Admiral’s daughter. If Thorndike ever got wind of that, Smith would be lucky to be assigned to some Asteroid Station.

Finishing his breakfast, Commander Smith headed over to the small office assigned to him in the building that housed the special simulators used by the FTL (Faster Than Light) Crews prior to their leaving Earth and the Solar System. Technically the ship would not be "handed over" to him by the Port Captain for another two weeks, but the Crew for the upcoming cruise would be filtering in during the next day or two and refresher training on simulators would begin in earnest by the end of the week.
