Lets play a game..ya'll know it, I say a line (maybe a paragraph) then you say yours, then someone else yadayada untill a story starts to build..

It was a cool, fresh spring morning. As I awoke it was a pain to open my eyes, the sun was glaring through my window and I had had a lot to drink the night before. I tried to recollect what had happened at my starfleet graduation party, but it was all quite a blur............................

I made to the transport the next morning in a stupor just as it was about to take off.

Thirty minutes later we docked with the Shogun. She was the very definition of spit and polish. And she should be--her CO Captain Michelle Jones had the reputation throughout the Fleet of running a very tight ship.

I proceeded to the Captain's quarters to present my orders, getting thoroughly lost along the way. When I finally found it, I rang the buzzer.

"Come."

I went inside and stood before Captain Jones somewhat lazily.

"Ah Ensign so good of you to join us," she said as I stood there. "May I see your orders or are they a Federation Secret?"

I fumbled for my orders and handed them to the Captain.

"There are four ways of doing things on a starship," she said as she read my orders. "The Right Way, The Wrong Way, The Starfleet Way, and My Way. You do things My Way and we'll get along just fine. Report to the XO for your watch assignment. Dismissed."

As I left I thought, "So this is how the Admiral wishes to instill 'discipline' in me, by assigning me to some harda$$ captain."

Well she won't break me and kill my fun. I've always lived by the old earth saying: Where there's a will, there's a way.

So immediately I ...

Went over to the XO and recieved my shift. I didnt have to be on for another 3 hours so look around the bar. Everyone was busy meeting eachother and showing their shift rosters, when I looked across the room and saw my childhood friend, he came over to me and we started chatting about old times. We couldnt believe our luck in being assigned on the same ship.
We began to meet other members and decided after a while to...

Kro'tos, the 3rd klingon officer in history to join Starfleet, walked in. He began laughing and walked towards me with a big threatening grin. I felt a flush of hot blood run through me as I was worried at whether or not he'd be offended at our singing. But he tapped me on the back (quite hard mind you) and carried the song back up, in the end we had half of the bar singing along with us, before the Captain walked in, she seemed to enjoy that we were getting along well together, ordered a chocolate desert and...

Kmelew · « **Reply #30 on:** November 21, 2003, 07:12:43 pm »

...announced, "Ladies and Gentlemen your attention please."

"First I would like to welcome all our newly minted ensigns on board the Shogun. You'll soon learn why this ship is the best ship in the entire Starfleet.

"To those ensigns who have been working for years for this day, I tell you that your sacrifices and hard work will pay off. 'To explore new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations' is not for the weak in spirit. Your presence on this ship today is indicitive of your desire to better the Federation.

"To those ensigns who feel that Starfleet is 'fun' or 'just a game'," she was looking straight at me, "will find out the hard way that it is most definately not. I can only hope that you last long enough to gain some real insight as to why we're out here.

"We are about to embark on a critical mission for the Federation. I am not at liberty to provide details yet but I can assure you that you will be pushed to your limits and beyond.

"Shogun will depart Spacedock at 0600. Because of the importance of this mission as of 0300 the bar will remain closed for the duration of the mission."

There was muted grumbling at the announcement that the bar was closing. For me it was just as well--wouldn't be a good idea being liqoured up the first day on the job.

...one last image session with Ensign Jakarti and Lt. Commander Houlihan to upload to StarFleetNet. Rumor has it that the Admiral is quite the conniseur of such images.

Can't stay up too late though. Gotta catch the transport to the Shogun, 'cause if I'm late I'm sure the captain will...

...shoot me dead.

I made to the transport the next morning in a stupor just as it was about to take off.

Thirty minutes later we docked with the Shogun. She was the very definition of spit and polish. And she should be--her CO Captain Michelle Jones had the reputation throughout the Fleet of running a very tight ship.

I proceeded to the Captain's quarters to present my orders, getting thoroughly lost along the way. When I finally found it, I rang the buzzer.

"Come."

I went inside and stood before Captain Jones somewhat lazily.

"Ah Ensign so good of you to join us," she said as I stood there. "May I see your orders or are they a Federation Secret?"

I fumbled for my orders and handed them to the Captain.

"There are four ways of doing things on a starship," she said as she read my orders. "The Right Way, The Wrong Way, The Starfleet Way, and My Way. You do things My Way and we'll get along just fine. Report to the XO for your watch assignment. Dismissed."

As I left I thought, "So this is how the Admiral wishes to instill 'discipline' in me, by assigning me to some harda$$ captain."

Well she won't break me and kill my fun. I've always lived by the old earth saying: Where there's a will, there's a way.

So immediately I ...

Went over to the XO and recieved my shift. I didnt have to be on for another 3 hours so look around the bar. Everyone was busy meeting eachother and showing their shift rosters, when I looked across the room and saw my childhood friend, he came over to me and we started chatting about old times. We couldnt believe our luck in being assigned on the same ship.
We began to meet other members and decided after a while to...

...sing some Klingon opera. One of the other ensigns in the bar told us how badly we were singing (or rather growling) off key. But with Klingons, how can you tell?

Just at that moment...

Kro'tos, the 3rd klingon officer in history to join Starfleet, walked in. He began laughing and walked towards me with a big threatening grin. I felt a flush of hot blood run through me as I was worried at whether or not he'd be offended at our singing. But he tapped me on the back (quite hard mind you) and carried the song back up, in the end we had half of the bar singing along with us, before the Captain walked in, she seemed to enjoy that we were getting along well together, ordered a chocolate desert and...

...announced, "Ladies and Gentlemen your attention please."

"First I would like to welcome all our newly minted ensigns on board the Shogun. You'll soon learn why this ship is the best ship in the entire Starfleet.

"To those ensigns who have been working for years for this day, I tell you that your sacrifices and hard work will pay off. 'To explore new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations' is not for the weak in spirit. Your presence on this ship today is indicitive of your desire to better the Federation.

"To those ensigns who feel that Starfleet is 'fun' or 'just a game'," she was looking straight at me, "will find out the hard way that it is most definately not. I can only hope that you last long enough to gain some real insight as to why we're out here.

"We are about to embark on a critical mission for the Federation. I am not at liberty to provide details yet but I can assure you that you will be pushed to your limits and beyond.

"Shogun will depart Spacedock at 0600. Because of the importance of this mission as of 0300 the bar will remain closed for the duration of the mission."

There was muted grumbling at the announcement that the bar was closing. For me it was just as well--wouldn't be a good idea being liqoured up the first day on the job.

My friend and I left the bar and...
