Chapter 2: Starfleet
When I got on the transport to Earth I felt a great weight lifted from me. My mom was worried but she let me go all the same. She knew that if she didn't I would hold a grudge the ages would never forget. I was just like father in that respect. I was surrounded by fellow country men who were seeking trade on Federation worlds but also I was with strange new faces that looked at me with fear and silent curiosity. No one at first wanted to talk to me, but then one brave soul broke the code of silence…
"Hi, my name is Harry Resenko but my friends call me Herisko. What's your name?"
The man who said this what slight in built and from the Asian regain of Earth if I could guess where his ancestors had been. I didn't know what to say to him at first so I just grunted out a response.
"My name is Sara Katang, daughter of Alexander and Malay Katang."
"Well it's nice to meet you Sara…that is if I can call you that. Where is your journey going to take you?"
"Yes Sara is fine…I hope you don't mind me calling you Harry since I don't know you too well. My destination is the planet Earth."
"Harry is fine…I am going to Earth too. I have always dreamed of following my father into Starfleet service and my mom finally has decided that it would be a good idea for me…since I am so aggressive."
You get the idea as to how well we got along. We both had a common goal with a common purpose on the surface but were from two different worlds. I befriended him or he me I can't remember which, but I do remember that he escorted me around the Academy like an old pro because of how well he was with floor plans. I was good with weapons so when on the range I would teach him how to fire a proper fire arm without getting hurt.
The instructors were quite amazed at how well we got along. If it were possible we would have roomed together but it wasn't so we just found every excuse to spend time together. His father thought it was cute how close we were and his mother thought it was weird. We were like brother and sister separated at birth. He could keep up with me when others couldn't and I became quite found of him…I miss him.
We both made it through the Academy alright just that we were going to get separated for our first assignments. I wouldn't hear of it until he came back to Qu'onos with me to see where I came from. He too wouldn't hear of it until I came back to the Moon to see where he came from.
