Location: Unity Station
Time: Immediately following the meeting with General Sharpe
As he left the General's office Dick Winters nodded once more to the young blonde woman sitting behind the reception desk before stepping out into the corridor. The passage way was fairly empty, given the time of day, so the Lieutenant quickly recognized Nix walking in his direction from the general direction of the turbolift. He shook his head as they passed, smelling the fresh minty aroma that so often accompanied oral hygiene products such as mouthwash.
"Not wasting any time today either, eh Nix?" Dick asked, casting a slightly disapproving glance in the Andorian's direction.
Th'Laxonth offered a devious grin, "Nothin so sinister, my friend. Maybe I just wanted to smell good for the good General." After that he disappeared through the door into the reception area, leaving Winters to resume his walk down towards the lift access.
"Deck Three-Twelve," he commanded as the lift doors closed behind him, and a moment later the small lift car was vibrating under a steady, family hum as it traveled the (relatively) long distance. It did not help that the trip was interrupted several times by officers of higher rank than Winters, which meant the lift controls deferred to their commands before his own.
Twenty minutes after entering the turbolift, the Lieutenant stepped out onto the deck and immediately noticed the large battalion insignias decorating the corridor. Immediately several wandering soldiers threw up salutes, which Winters returned without paying much attention. It was something he had become used to since graduation.
He approached one of them, a staff sergeant by the rank on his neck, and asked, "Captain Spiers' office?"
The man lifted an arm to point down the corridor, "That way, sir. Take the first right and it'll be the first door on the left."
"Thank you, Sergeant," said the Lieutenant before moving down in the direction indicated. With any luck in an hour's time he would have a billet, an assignment, and would be able to meet the people he would be spending every waking hour with.
He turned the corner in the corridor and spotted the door that led into Captain Spiers' office. Stepping up to it he tapped the chime on the control panel and waited…
