Chapter 4 Cold Ship Part 1
Sez walked up the boarding ramp with his bag slung over his shoulder. Its
was cold.
He followed the signs on the wall to Barracks 2B. He found the bed with his
name on the bottom.
He sighed and grabbed his combat knife from his bag and scratched out
Arastor writing Sezidan
in its place. He dumped the contents of his bag into his footlocker and sat
on the bed. This
was gonna be a long trip he thought. They left port in a day. His training
began in a few days.
He looked over to one of the other beds and a name caught his eye. Fortune,
Leon. "Hey Leons
here with me so it might not be too bad. He looked at the other names til he
found what he
was looking for. The name Corl, Cyrellus. But there was another name that
caught his eye.
McCloud, Vixo. "No way! I can't believe he's stationed on the Freedom too!
Maybe this wont
be too bad after all. He looked at the rank on Vixo's footlocker. "Ensign huh.
must have just
graduated." He looked down the rows of beds no one here. He opened his
footlocker. He looked
through his clothing to find the uniform. There it was. A sky blue uniform.
Sez placed it back
closed the locker. Then came a voice from behind him. "You know that's
invasion of privacy right?"
Sez turned around to come face to face with Vixo. "Hey man just checking out
your uniform."
Vixo looked him over. "Looks like your doing the same to me."
"Well Sez im glad you made it through boot camp. how was it?"
"Kid it was hell and then some. Was fun though. How was yours?"
"Eh ill have to tell you about it some other time. The Captain wants to
speak to you."
"Ok man good seeing ya again."
With that Sez left waving to Vixo. He found his way to the bridge where a
female fox was standing
with her back turned in a sky blue uniform. When she turned around Sez was
stunned.
"Cartivan?"
"That's Captain Cartivan Corporal Shardeth. I wanted to congratulate you on
your graduation
from boot. You did well."
"Well thanks captain."
"But corporal the training ahead is going to be much harder. I hope your
ready for it."
"Captain I was born ready for this stuff."
"Good because it's gonna be hell. Well I want to wish you luck Corporal so good
luck. You're dismissed."
"Thanks Ma'am." He saluted and left.
