TEASER
STARBASE 248
Three cargo haulers screamed back for the base, each of them fully loaded. As they easily glide through space, watching through his personal quarters' viewport, Captain Bruce McGawan fastened his combadge to his chest. The planet, which loomed a good distace, but was still very visable from the station, looked as though he could play basketball with it.
It was very unimpressive to him, really.
Coming back to reality, he licked his teeth, getting the last bit of the morning's toothpaste off of his front teeth at least. McGawan picked up his duffel, and headed into the corridor.
On his way down the curving corridor of the alpha habitat module, a very beautiful woman began to walk next to him. She wore a white robe with a Starfleet emblem on it, eyes very Earth Asian, yet her skin a tint of green. Very sternly, she simply said: "Good morning, Captain."
By the voice, McGawan's dreams came shattering down. It was duty and protocol time. He was disappointed. "Good morning... Commander."
"It is only 0540, Captain. You usually do not wake up until 0615 hours," Commander Kaori Nakajima noted.
"Nice of you to notice my routine," McGawan said, turning to a branching corridor. "Stalking me?"
"Sir?"
The two stopped at a turbolift, where McGawan called for a car. "Anyway, I've got business to attend to."
Remembering, "Ah yes, that's right. You have your scheduled appointment with Governor Giavani."
"It's almost dinner time in his neck of the woods," McGawan said. "I have a craving for ham and eggs, but instead I'm gonna get a Thanksgiving turkey feast."
"Which Thanksgiving are you referring to?"
McGawan blinked. "It's a metaphore, Commander. You're part human. You should know these things by now."
"Thank you for reminding me that which I already know so well," Nakajima said, as the turbolift yawned open. "Am I to assume that I am in command of the station?"
"Only you are the ass, not me. As a matter of fact, you are, indeed, in command of the station. I left your duties on your desk."
Nakajima nodded. "Understood, Captain. Have a... pleasant... trip."
"Sarcasm again, Commander?"
Nakajima just stood there, expressionless.
McGawan got the message. "Okay, okay! I'm outta here. Launch Bay." The lift doors shut, taking McGawan to the main hanger deck... and to yet another day of protocol aboard the Federation Starbase Number 248...
