He stood on the observation deck below the bridge of the ship and looked out. What he saw took his breath away.
Laid out before was a vista of stars that seemed never ending A star here and there twinkled with a pale blue or red light. Some Even green. He was amazed at the brilliance that shone from stars so far away.
He took a deep breath and let his gaze drift to the far right where a star shone much brighter than all the others. It was still some distance away but much much closer than the rest. He knew that around this star whirled his home. His earth. It felt strange yet exciting to be out here among the stars staring back at an ever receding sun and earth.
His mind wondered to friends he may not see again. Family that would miss him. And enemies that would find others to torment in his absence. Sighing one last time he looked away and allowed one tear to fall before wiping it away as slid down his cheek.
He turned as he heard the door behind him open. "Excuse me sir. If you would like I can show you your room now. I know you never been on a ship like this and we don't want you to get lost." Stated the young man that walked through the just opened door.
This man appeared to be in his early to mid twenties and was wearing a green military uniform with several patches on each arm. One patch looked like a pyramid with a sun over it on a blue background.
The man who had turned his attention to this young man in military uniform spoke as his eyes flashed "Yes we are ready to accompany you to our newly appointed room. You must forgive my host he has not been away from his home world before and this is all very new to him. He is homesick. As he would state , after you my good man."
After a five min walk they found themselves in front of a golden door. With practiced touch the young man who had led him there reached out and punched in a code and the door opened with a whoosh.
He turned around and handed the new resident of the room a card "This has the code for the door and all other information you will need , even has a map on the backside to help you get around the ship to the key locations, like the mess hall. Thats a cafeteria to you."
The man that had been following him turn to him accepted the card with a nod and thanked him as he entered "Thank you my good man. You have done well." With this the door closed behind him.
With a sigh he walked to a wall and pressed a stud there. With a slight hissing of air a panel in the wall slid back to reveal a mirror of polished metal.
He stood looking into this mirror. Staring back at him was an older man with thin lips slightly wrinkled face with a serious look that was only enhanced by his round framed glassed that perched on his nose waiting to be taken off and polished.
His hairline was receding slightly and there was a touch of grey here and there. He wore a grey tweed jacket with a white shirt collar peaking out the top of a dark grey vest and a tie underneath. The tie was black with white dots. It had been a gift from one his girls when he had said goodbye.
'Well she wasn't really my girl was she. At least not by birth but she was the closest thing I had to a daughter I would ever have' he thought to himself with a rye smile.
With a deep breath he said aloud "Ahh Rupert what have you gotten yourself into?"
