Commander Andrew Whiteshadow smiled as he regarded his successor. "Commander, you should fit in well here. My time here was educational for all concerned and I have had very few issues, minus the cleaning out the bad aplies from the USS Roanoke. You will find all of my case files in this filing cabinet here. I also have no open cases so you should be starting with a rather light workload."

"Excellent news Commodore." Ashcroft responded with a wide smile. "As good as your word."

"Well I do my best.. I recommend you spend a little time and go meet the various Captains around the battlegroup, considering they are going to be stationed here at B Kayor for the foreseeable future, it will help you in your long term goals, whatever those may be."

"My goals were more or less the same as yours really." Ashcroft responded evenly.

"That good to know... Do you have any questions before I depart...?" Whiteshadow inquired.

"Not really sir.. Have a safe trip back to Starbase Twelve." Ashcroft responded as Whiteshadow nodded, he made his farewells before he turned and departed the office that used to be his, He made his way to the hanger where the fighter corps large shuttle was waiting for him.

"Thanks for waiting Sergeant."

"Not a worry Commander. We won't leave you behind." the Flight Sergeant responded with a smile. "Everyone else is already aboard." as he secured the hatch behind him before he followed Whiteshadow into the back of the what was really an oversized Runabout.

The Flight Sergent went into the front. "Everyone's aboard Will, go ahead and finish your preflight. I'll get us clearance to depart."

"Sounds good John. I'm on it." William Felinato responded as he went to work. John Aguirre meanwhile went to work on getting clearance.

Meanwhile Andrew Whiteshadow regarded his wife who looked at him. "You think we'll have issues on Starbase Twelve?" Pava Whiteshadow inquired of her husband.

Pava was an Andorian name except Whiteshadow herself was human. Her parents named her for an Andorian who had died saving them from a Cardassian firefight back during the boarder wars.

"No... I expect it will be busy though." he responded evenly. "Of course, being on a large starbase like Starbase Twelve is always busy.."

"So life goes back to what it was before we came out here.?"

"No.. I wouldn't say that... " Whiteshadow responded to his wife's question with his own. "I'll say it'll be different. I get my rank back and you get a promotion from what I heard, to Commander."

Pava nodded her head, she was due and she knew it. "What about getting time off.?"

"We're supposed to be getting a week to ourselves when we get to the starbase." Whiteshadow responded.

"Alright." Pava responded. "I can live with that."
