Chapter 2:
"Skywalker Reporting for Duty"
"Captain on deck!" "As you were," Riker called. Riker looked to his Imzadi, "Deanna, I'd like you to meet our new tactical officer." Deanna, pregnant with child, smiled, "Welcome aboard, Ensign." "Thank you, Counselor. It's good to be here. How's the baby?" "She's fine, only a few months left." Deanna glowed a bit. "And your wife, Padme is it?" "Yes, she's well. Our kids are two years old, now." Lt. Crusher said, "Captain Riker, the warp core updates are complete." "Well done, thank you, lieutenant. Meet our new tactical officer." Crusher and Skywalker shake hands. "It's good to see you, Master Skywalker." "I'm no Master anymore, Wes; just Ensign." "Of course, sorry. Excuse me." Smiling, Riker admitted, "I could never get over the "no Master" thing, but I've learned whenever your name came on possible recruits." "I understand completely, Captain." Looking at the empty space, "I'm guessing that empty console is mine?" "Yep, sure is." The two walked over to the Tactical, "Everything you need to know is here, just ask the Computer for any Weapons 101 sessions in your quarters if you have any questions." Looking to his right, "Lt. JG Haslam will assist you in the basics. We'll be underway in 30 minutes." "Aye, sir." "Again, welcome aboard the Titan, Ensign."
Lt. Haslam and Skywalker went through basic training and Skywalker learned as fast at Weapons as he did being a Jedi apprentice, now he'll have to really control his urge to use the Force during battle simulations and real ship-to-ship combat.
