===/-\== Aboard the USS Chimera ==/-\=== The ship had been docked with Starbase Bragg for a few hours now. It had been a busy morning. Full of inspections and last minute de-breifings about the ODA teams encounter with the Kzenti. Richard almost forgot to turn in the data PADD that he had found on the asteroid, accidentaly finding it when getting his clothes ready to be laundered. He wished he hadn't though because he was forced to fill out what seemed like a never ending barrage of reports on how he had found it and why he waited so long to turn it in. When he was finally free to head over to the starbase, most of the crew had already departed leaving the hallways mostly empty. It was sort of an eerie feeling, but one that Cortez actually enjoyed. Being new to the ship meant that he would have to form new friendships, something that was never easy for him. So being able to postpone the normal social gatherings that always occur when crews are given leave, actually made him feel more comfortable. Richard had stopped in his quarters to change out of uniform when an unfamiliar voice over the comm system came through. "Private Cortez". "This is Cortez, go ahead". "Captain Walsh needs to see you in his office right away". "OK, I'm on my way". And the comm system bleeped out. "Damnit", Cortez said to himself, assuming he was going to catch more flack for forgetting to turn in the Kzenti PADD. Once he had finished changing back into his uniform he made his way to Walsh's office. To his surprise Williams was already standing at the door. He gave Gary a look as if to ask, "whats goin' on"?. But Gary just shrugged his shoulders and pressed the doorbell. "Come in", Captain Walsh's voice rang through the comm. ==/-\== END LOG ==/-\== PFC Richard Cortez ODA Weapons Specialist USS Chimera
