The Regent had paled in comparison to this endeavor class vessel. The ship felt alien to him, and he reached out with his Betazoid senses and took in the emotional state of the crew. He was prone to doing this on the Regent, being one of the more sensitive minds on board and the fact that for over a year he served as the ship's counselor. Captain Fife would consult him often, even when not wearing the hat of couselor, about the general atmosphere and attitude that surround the ship. Lt. Johan felt the stress mounting on board. Tenion seem to loom in every corner of the ship. Being raised on Vulcan, Alexis was able to institute many of the practices that had been taught to in the ways of mind sheilding, and meditation, but since he was mostly Betazoid and slightly Vulcan, he tended to give in to emotions except in time of stress. The turbo lift door open and in poured Capatin Katz. He walked over to the CONN and addressed the young man sitting there. "Well, look what we have here! Mr. Johan?" "Yes sir" "Well it's about time, Alighieri had me worried that you weren't going to show up. However I am gald to see that you did make it safely aboard. With this pending war taking place, I worry about those who are out there." Katz said still keeping his cool demeanour. Alexis could sense that Katz was sincerely glad he had arrived, and felt as if a terrible weight had been lifted from his shoulders. "Mr. Johan, for now, why don't you go and make yourself at home. Meet me in my ready room at 1800 hours." "Will do!!" and with that he head for the turbo-lift. MD 4.1545 Once inside his quarters, Alexis ordered the transporter chief to have his personal belonging beamed directly to his cabin. he slowly began to unpack his things, when he noticed something strange. A silver discette. Alexis went over to the his teminal and inserted the disc into the proper slot. On the view screen, his mother, Coran appeared. "Ah, My Little Prince, you finally made to the YORKTOWN...." His mother went on ranting and raving for nearly fifteen minutes about she hated to see him go and that she loved him etc. But what really upset Alexis was that she said she had spoke to Captain Fife and was seeing if she could arrange a transport to the Dante system. *Why, does she do this to me* Alexis thought angrily. CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM MD 4.1800 Alexis enter the ready room. Aside from the Captain stood LCMD Gibson. They all exchanged pleasantries and took their respected seats around Katz desk's. <> MD 4.1530 Alexis at the CONN Mark MD 4.1545 Alexis begins to unpack Mark MD 4.1800 In the Captains Ready Room Mark Here's hoping that I didn't screw up the time line to badly.
