=Main Prominade=
=Starbase UNITY=
Standing on a platform, overlooking the prominade, Trent sipped on a
hot mug of coffee as he watched the activity below. Since he arrived
at UNITY, he hadn't had time to look around the shops and eateries of
the prominade, not that he had any reason to do so.
"Sir," Trent heard from his right. He looked over and saw Captain Mayo
standing. "Your aide said I could find you here."
"You've been a captain a good 15 years longer than I have, so it feels
awkward having you calling me 'sir'," Trent admitted. "Heck, you should
be the task force XO."
Frederick Mayo laughed.
"It's that 15 years of being a captain that tells me that I do not want a
desk job. It's that 15 years that of being a captain that helps me stay
in the captain's chair."
"No, seriously. I'll trade you places," Trent offered.
"No thanks," Mayo said.
Trent sighed.
"Well, you can't fault a guy for trying. Anyhow, are you and the Magellan
ready for your part of Magna?" Trent asked.
"We'll be ready to get underway soon," Mayo said. "The mission seems
simple enough."
"Good," Trent said then motioned to the crowd below. "Look at them. Not
a care in the world. It's as if there isn't even a war."
"Oh, they've got there concerns. They just don't let it bother them," the
Magellan captain said.
"Yeah, you have to admire that," Trent said as he walked away with Mayo
following. "So captain, what is the secert of remaing a starship captain?"
Mayo grinned as they walked, "If I told you, it wouldn't be a secert, now
would it?"
"No, I suppose not," Trent said.
"Captain Rodgers, being a captain of a starship is not a job for a family
man. I've made the Magellan and her crew my family. That's all of the
family I need. You, on the other hand ... having a wife and kids can
complicate things."
"Uh, huh."
"By the way, you ever bringing your family to live with you here?" Mayo
asked.
"I don't know. I'm not sure if I want them here and I'm not certain if my
wife wants to be here."
Mayo nodded, "Well, captain, I've got some things to take care of back
on my ship."
Trent stopped and offered his hand, "If I don't see you again, then good
luck."
"Nah, luck has nothing to so with it," Mayo responded as they shook
hands before the two officers went in different directions.
