Author's Note: Mayhura is the El-Aurian/Vulcan hybrid daughter of my RP charrie, Rowan Tano's prime reality counterpart. And although this is a one-shot, I intend on this being a "backdoor pilot" for a series of fan fics that I would like to begin. R&R. That's the only way I'll know whether or not to begin this series.
Shuttle Bay, Federation Starbase 12 – Stardate 2410.11
This is exciting!
This was the thought that was currently screaming in the mind of the beautiful, twenty-eight year old Lieutenant Commander Mayhura "May" Tano. She could even believe that she was here, at the starbase. It had seemed like a distant dream when she had received her assignment from Admiral Janeway (though the fact that she was the Federation President's daughter probably had something to do with it). Although it was a great opportunity, it saddened her a little.
It saddened her because she knew that it was going to be hard to say good-bye to the crew that had grown to be her family, and the ship that had grown to be her home. Captain Data, and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise-E, had been so kind to her while she was there and they all grew close. She was going to miss being at Captain Data's side as his first officer. He was a dear friend of hers and she was going to miss her meetings with him and the split-second actions they had to make as a team.
Her days on the Enterprise seemed like memories now as she sat in the U.S.S. Gaiman, the small transporter shuttle that she had gotten on a day ago. She was awake for a good part of the ride, but then she fell asleep after the first five hours. She was happy to have gotten some sleep during the flight. She probably would have been bored to death if she had stayed awake during then.
The shuttle pilot, a young Junior Lieutenant, stepped out from the cockpit and walked over to her. She looked up to him from her seat. "Commander Tano," He spoke to her. "We've arrived." He told her. She nodded to his words and looked out the window.
The shuttle bay was dark, only slightly illuminated by a few lights here and there. Standing outside of the shuttle was a beautiful, brown hair young woman who had appeared to be of African descent, and two security officers. The three of them wearing operations uniforms, which was a gray uniform that had the divisional gold on the yoke and shouldering and their respective rank insignias clipped to the lapel on their right breasts. May's uniform was similar to theirs, but instead, she wore the divisional command red color and she had two solid gold pips and a clear pip, which designated her as a lieutenant commander.
May finally stood up from her seat, took hold of the duffel bag underneath, and made her way over to towards the hatch, following the young pilot. He opened the hatch and they made their way down the stairs that had formed. When she had reached the end, she was met by the young woman, who had a smile on her face. She stuck her hand out for May.
"Welcome to Starbase 12, Commander," She greeted. "I'm Ensign Sheva Alomar. I'll be your personal assistant." She introduced herself.
May took Ensign Alomar's hand into a shake. "Nice to meet you, Ensign." She said.
May already knew that she was going to be fine here. And she couldn't wait to meet the commanding officer that she was going to be working with. It would be just like the Enterprise.
