(Inside Earth Space Dock)

The shuttle craft is taking Commander Martin to his new posting as First Officer.

(Shuttle aft compartment)

as he's reading a book he got from Elizabeth on their one year wedding anniversary, when the com activates.

Commander you wanna see the ship, Lieutenant Kaye says over the com of the shuttle.

He gets up and walks into the cockpit and sees the Helena as the shuttle approaches the ship, and he sits in the co-pilot chair as Lieutenant Kaye gives him the information on the ship.

That's our ship that's Helena Renaissances-Class mark II, 16 decks, crew complement 415, Bio-Neural, Lieutenant Kaye says as she looks at the Commander.

He looks at her.

Bio-Neural I heard of that its suppose to be faster then regular circuits that were previously used on a Starship, Commander Martin says as he looks at Lieutenant Kaye.

She nods at him.

Shuttle craft Goodard to Helena control we're on approach, Lieutenant Kaye says as she looks at the ship.

Acknowledge Goodard you're cleared for landing, Helena flight control says over the com.

(Shuttlebay)

The Shuttle lands.

(Deck 6, Sickbay)

Commander Martin walks into the medical bay.

Ah, welcome aboard I'm Doctor Mitchell Chief Medical Officer and you must be our new XO, Doctor Mitchell says as he looks at Commander Martin.

He sits on the bio-bed and Doctor Mitchell starts scanning the Commander.

Well, Commander Martin your medical records transferred over from your last post and you're still in perfect health, Doctor Mitchell says as he looks at Commander Martin.

He gets off the Bio-bed and looks at him.

Thanks I'm gonna introduce myself to the Captain, Commander Martin says as he looks at Doctor Mitchell.

He leaves Sickbay.

(Captain's Ready Room)

Captain Taylor has a bunch of padds on her desk and is talking to her husband.

So, the Asgard's next layover will be at Starbase 545 in the Thea sector I still think its bad for it to be without weapons but the Treaty of Bajor falls into the issue of that, Captain Adam's says on the screen.

She smiles at him on the screen.

That's true, Marcia says as she looks at the screen.

All right then I won't bother you, James says on the screen.

She puts her padds down.

Hey, you don't bother me except the way I like to be bother, Marcia says as she smiles at the screen.

The transmission ends at the doors chimed.

She walks over to her desk.

Come in, Captain Taylor says as she looks at the doors.

Both Commander Martin and Lieutenant Kaye walks into the ready room standing at attention.

Welcome aboard Helena, Captain Taylor says as she looks at Commander Martin and Lieutenant Kaye.

She looks at Captain Taylor.
