What did you study at the academy?

Tactical - You're the ship's first officer

You proudly wear your gold colored uniform to signify that not only are you a part of the Massachusetts's tactical division, but the ship's first officer. In your days training on the various tactical positions at the helm of the simulated Astroship, professors noted your almost encyclopedic knowledge of all known battle strategies utilized by the various Astrofleet captains both current and past. Your true capabilities were shown when you would shout orders from your station to another faster than the assigned captain could analyze the situation. If it wasn't for your lack of experience out in the field, you would be captain your own Astroship straight out of the academy.

As you approached shuttle 31415 to depart for the ship, you were greeted by Captain Miller. She was also wearing the same gold colored uniform and her auburn hair was tied up in a bun. You always thought it was bit strange that the women's uniform seemed a bit tighter fit than the men's. You could plainly see that the Captain is a very fit woman with sizable breasts. Regardless, Capt. Miller's appearance still exuded power and control. You've always respected her and she was even the subject of several of your tactical lessons.

"Good morning, Number One." She said using the name given to most first officers. You'd hope she's use your real name, but then she'd probably include your rank of ensign. It's a good compromise.

"Good morning, Capt. Miller," you say. "Did you enjoy the ceremony?"

"Don't be offended, but I skipped out on it this year. It's the same thing every year. I've seen three admirals give that same speech. Not a single word has changed in all those years." You both chuckle at your common observation.

"Have you been on the Massachusetts yet or are we both getting the grand tour?"

"I've only seen my office on the holodeck so far. They let me decorate it so I didn't have to order any furniture and keep you all here longer than we need to. The Vice Admiral is supposed to be here soon and give us a quick tour before breaking the champagne bottle on the hull." Another quick burst of laughter erupts between the two of you. "Enough about me. I've read your file, Number One. Just remember that I'm the one giving the orders on the bridge. I don't care if you can outsmart three Rukarian Chimera on the holodeck, unless I'm dead or dying in sickbay I give the orders."

The serious look on her face wiped the smile away from yours. She sensed the fear in you and started laughing. What else could you do besides laugh with her and pray the admiral arrives soon.

What's next?

More fun
