It had been a long trip, and Vandetta Rose had not slept any of the way thanks to excitement. She was starting over. A new job, new people, new places, it all swirled around her making her feel a little light headed. She looked around. She was new and the people walking by seemed to know that. She felt their piercing eyes as she walked down the long corridor. What would they think of her. How would she adapt. Thoughsands of questions ran through her mind as she reached her quarters. Her Bags had made it before she had. As she began to unpack she thought of her parnts. How proud of her they would be if they could see her now aboard this incredible ship, doing something productive. She let a tear fall from her eye. How she missed them. She remembered the night it happened. Her mother had gone out to feed the dogs after supper. On a small farm in rural Indiana that's nothing out of the ordinary, but when her mother started screaming she knew something was wrong. Her father jumped up and ran outside for his wife and instructed her to stay inside. Neither of them had come back. She later found out, as she was drove to her grandmother's, that both her parents had been killed by their livestock. No one knew why or how it happened. Vandetta snapped back to reality and finished onpacking and pulled back her shoulder length fire colored hair. This will be quite an adventure, she thought to herself. She smiled in the mirror at her reflection, gave a reassuring nod of approval and walked out. She was anxious to meet new people, be accepted. She knew her job, her position, and she knew it well. She was going to make friends, she knew that, it was all just a matter of time; And right now she needed to find her Commanding Officer. ==End Log== Vandetta Rose Communications Specialist USS Chimera
