Mission: Mission 72: T'Would Ring the Bells of Heaven
Location: Various Locations - USS Roanoke
Timeline: 0900Hrs - April 2nd, 2392

The runabout landed in the main hanger of the USS Roanoke, it was dropping off two dozen personnel, most of them were medical officers and among them was Lieutenant Keyan Fardreamer.

The doors opened as everyone charged for the exits. Meanwhile Lieutenant Fardreamer was seated in a chair as he was finishing a cup of coffee.

The pilot saw this and instantly smiled, of course it helped that he recognized the officer in question. "Well well.. Holy fucking shit man!?... Lieutenant Camshaft, what the fuck are you doing here sir!?"

Lieutenant Keyan Fardreamer polished off his drink as he placed it back into the replicator before he stood up. "Thats Keyan to you Longhorn." he responded with a smile. "I don't go by 'Camshaft' anymore. Its ot who I am anymore."

"Oh.. I'm sorry sir."

"Don't be. I needed to stay away and find my path in life.. and science offered me more then doing hammer eights and various other maneuvers. You guys got it easy. Sitting in your easy chairs and the like."

Longhorn listened in silence, he had always respected Camshaft being one of the few to do so. "You always seemed to try a little too hard El Tee.."

"Well that was because I didn't have the chops for the really good flying." Fardreamer shrugged, indicating that he had accomplished a measure of peace with himself and the world around him, this was something new which Longhorn was happy about. "We all have to find our place in life Omar... All of us need to find what we love... for me that was geosciences and vulcanology."

"Hey. I'm happy for you El Tee... You finally came out and did it... I thought you were all talk on the subject.. But I'm glad you did it... Don't let any of these other dipshits tell you otherwise."

"I don't get along with most of Roanoke's air wing anyway.."

"Well not a lot has changed, pilots being pilots and miscreants being themselves... But take care out there.."

"Right.. I've taken up enough of your time already Longhorn. Till next time." and with that he stepped off the Runabout after picking up his pack, he went into the hanger that had not changed in the slightest.

Fardreamer looked around as he recognized some of the pilots but others he was clueless about before he started moving off of the hanger deck, he smiled as he walked into the main hallway, he tapped the display. "Computer. locate the science labs.."

"Main Science facility is on deck six, section fifteen."

"Thank you." and with that Fardreamer went off down the hallway, his next stop was the quartermasters offices so he could get his room assignment then he would go check in with his new boss. The scuttlebutt said that she was an Orion woman.

When Fardreamer had heard that comment, he simply shrugged and said it was not important what species his new boss was, only that she was competent and skilled enough to handle her assignment.

Fardreamer went into a nearby turbolift." Quartermasters office." and the lift sped into motion, heading to its next destination.
