Welcome aboard Chapter 2
"You're the lucky woman on board who got a cabin all to herself since we have an odd number of females here," ET told me when we reached my cabin, "Oh, I'm Josh Holiday by the way, but everyone just calls me ET, since I'm the Electronics Technician." "belladonna tracy," I introduced myself, holding out my hand, "I'm the communication Engineer in-training." "Ah, so then we'll be seeing quite a lot of each other." ET winked at me, laughing. I laughed as well. Then ET left me so I could get unpacked.
I didn't know what to expect yet, but I was really looking forward to my time here on Hammersley.
After I was done unpacking I searched my way to the bridge. "Ah, there she is." ET was there and grinned at me again. He introduced me to everyone there, Nav, Charge, Chefo and the XO. Then he gave me a tour of the boat. To finish the tour he led me on the deck. "There is one major thing you need to always remember when boarding the Hammersley," he said and I waited for him to continue, "You have to salute to our mascot." ET pointed at a small figure sitting on top of the bridge. "Who is that?" I asked curiously. "Thor, the thunder god," he explained, "If you don't salute, it will bring bad luck to this ship, and I'm sure you don't want that." I hesitated, but ET seemed somewhat serious, so I quickly saluted to the figure. "Alright, that's the spirit." ET grinned again.
With that the tour ended and it was almost time for lunch. Since I wasn't really hungry anyways I decided to head back to my cabin to get some sleep, since I was assigned Guts Watch. I set an alarm just in case and then made myself comfortable. The swaying of Hammersley even helped me relax faster. I had always loved ships, ever since I was a little girl. I was the first one in my family to join the Navy but my brother Gordon had been in Wasp(world aquanaunt special patrol). My mother had died when I was just 6 years old due to an avalanche my father had been devastated I actually rember my eldest brother scott bringing us up my father was so busy with work and now he works from the island running tracy industries but he is also the commander of international rescue but no one know that except the agents scattered around the brother scott hade been in the air force and then joined international rescue as did all my other brothers he wanted me to join too but I had refused hence me now being on Hammersley.
I awoke to the sound of my alarm clock. I couldn't believe I had really slept that long. Well, maybe it was not that much of a surprise considering I barely slept last night because I was so nervous.
