"I am sure we will meet again commander" John said, as the screen of the serenity went dead.
"Miss Latham, please take us out of orbit, and lay in a course for Starbase Sierra" He ordered.
She replied, and John sat back down in his chair in the middle of the bridge, the talks with the Romulans had been successful, had had brought the tensions that had recently been rising, to an abrupt end. War had been averted, although at a price.
After an attack buy a marquis vessel, the serenity had been left without several crewman, one of which being his first officer, they had caught them by suprise, decloaking just of the starbord side, and attacked both the Romulan warbird, and the Serenity.
Non- the less, it was over, and all that was left to do was finish with the formalities, funnerals and what not. "Mr Micah, please contact starbase Sierra and let them know of our position, and ETA"
There really wasnt anything else to do, most of the senior crew where to be split up after this, John was glad to get rid of some of them, but un happy at not being able to retain the services of a certain few. It was going to take around 37 hours to reach SB Sierra, once there John would be taking over as the Fleet CinC, a job he would realish.
The hours passed, John filled them with a last get together of the senior staff after the de briefing. Trips down memory lane where the main theme of the night. John began to wonder how they had managed to stay alive, but it was over, he figured that evrything had its time, and must draw to a close, this chapter though, seemed to end a little too fast.

Michael left the USS Hanson for the last time, he turned nd looked back, she had been a fine ship, and now the Federation was decommisioning the old girl. The Akira class had been through quite a few battles in her time, and was in dis repair, and it wasnt worth refiting her as the systems aboard where so out dated, it would have been for easier to just simply replace her.
The Hanson A, was to be a premthus class, Micheal turned down the offer to be its CTSO, and instead decied it was time for a change, and accpeted an offer from a Vice Admiral John Roberts, to be his CTSO, aboard the USS Serenity.
It wasnt in dock yet, so Michael has some time to kill, he spent it treking round some of the bars, until eventually settling for a bakery, to have some soup and freshly baked bread.

As Captain Cyklus's Sovereign class, USS Taurus, drew near to to the docking bay he looked out the window, basking at the brand new ships that had docked there after their construction.
The Soveriegn being stricken by a stray piece debri floating in space caused so much trouble that the ship was essentially scrap metal and was toed to the Space dock where it was declared out of service.
The Captain walked slowly through the docking bay, making his way to the doors, he looked up and saw the extent of the damage. He thought to himself,
" End of an era Captain, end of an era"
Captian Cyklus then preceeded to the bar, where all fleet captains come to drown their sorrows but then a tanoy came on,
"Captian C.Fletcher report to Vice Admirals Roberts Office"
wondering what this was about he drank his earthly drink quickly and made his way to B deck.

John left the Serenity, and looked back at her in all of her glory. The next time she leaves dock, he crew will almost me compltely different, he thought to him self. He stayed there, to say his last good byes to his old senior crew, before making his way to his office.
Once there, he began to look at what ships had docked, The USS Taurus, commanded by a Captain Cyklus. He was quite the officer from what John had heard, and was now without a ship after the Taurus' previous outting made it pretty much scrap metal.
=(^)= Captian C.Fletcher report to Vice Admirals Roberts Office =(^)=
The door chimed, and John spoke allowing entry. In he steped, "Ah, you muct be captain fletcher" John said, standing to shake his hand.

The Captain shook the vice admirals hand,
"Hello sir, Im Captain Fletcher reporting for duty sir"
Looking around his office he could see models of the previous ships that was of the same name, the Captain Thinking to himself,
" this looks quite a vessel"
he looked back at the vice admiral,
" take a seat Captain Fletcher"
Captain Cyklus replied,
" thank you sir, I read that you were in need of an Executive officer and im wondering whether i could fill that role?"

"I was about to ask you to acctually" John said smiling.
"I guess there is no longer any need to, I gather that you are familiar with the Soverign class?" John then asked.
"I am" Cyklus responed.
"Thats useful, welcome aboard captain, you may go aboard at any point before told to come aboard"
(Cyklus)
He then left Johns office, and his only bit of recruiting he had to do, was now done, the rest Starfleet would assign, at this point, only his new CTSO had been comfirmed, a Michael Scofield, and his bio hadnt been sent through so John wasnt able to read up on him. John sat, doing some work.

Cyklus had a long walk round the dock and came upon familia sight, a soveriegn class ship and it happend to be a the serenity. looking prim and proper, the ship had a gleam to it with a clean exterior. He wondered what the standard was inside so he boarded the ship early to have a look around.
the oak panels that were shipped specially from earth were polished to a shine, the blue strobe lights under the corridor panels were workin perfectly and he made his way to his quarters. like a little kid he jumped on the bed to see how soft it was, very soft due to his test.
he thend decided to walk to the turbo lift and made his way to the Bridge. the bridge had blew him away, the architecture of every work place on that deck was quite smooth and shiney. He turned to the engineer making last minute adjustments,
" excuse me Leutenant, could you switch to view screen please"
the engineer replied
"yes Captain"
with a flash of light the view screen came on and he could see Star Fleet Personel rushing past the clear corridors of the dock.

John arrived on the bridge, to find his new XO getting used to it."Quite a work of art isnt she" he said, startling the officer a little. "Indeed" he replied.
"I have been aboard this ship for almost 6 months, since she was built, and she can some how still take my breath away" John said, as the two stood, surveying the beauty in which they where stood within.

the captain getting slightly excited with anticipation.
"im sure Vice Admiral that it only takes 2 to control a ship"

"I am afraid not until the refit has been done, there are several system upgrades to be done, otherwise, I would have considered it" John said, feeling a little unhappy at the request, but trying to stop it from showing.
The doors of the turbolift behind them opened, and a young officer with dark hair steped off, a Lt. Commander dressed in a gold uniform. John assumed it was an engineer coming to begin the upgrades, he was suprised when it turned out to be his new Chief Tactical/Security offcer, Michael Scofield.

Micheal steped on to the Serenity for the first time, he was hit by the Oak and the neon blue lighting, it was stunning, he made his way quickly to his quaters, and depositied his stuff in a pile, as he considered reporting in to be more of a concern, than sorting his quaters.
Even the turbolifts where a work of art, the Oak which surrounded him was truely beautiful. "Deck one, brdige" he said, and it began moving steadily. It soon came to a halt, and steped out n the bridge for the first time. The consoles where more like a sculpture, than a computer terminal.
He quickly moved to the two senior officers stood in the middle of the bridge, "Lt. Commander Michael Scofield reporting for duty" he said.
(Adm. Roberts and Cap. Fletcher)

Captain Fletcher a little disappointed but still thought that it will soon spread its wings, a very optamistic view.
the turbo lift doors suddenly emerged and out Came a Security Officer. Captain Fletcher turned and saw it was Leutenant Commander Scofield,
"ah Leutenant Commander Scofield, i read the ships roster you must be the ships CTSO, welcome aboard "

"Indeed I am sir" Michael said
He stood in awe with the other officers, and the fine bridge, she was certainly a fine ship, and Michael wondered how she would fair in a battle.
He had nevered served on a soverign before, he hadnt even stood on one, he was always assigned to thoose ships no one else wanted, now he had made it to one every one wanted, a positiob aboard Serenity.

There where only 2 weeks of shore leave ahead of the Serenity's crew, most of them would be enjoying it, the senior officers how ever, most likely wouldnt, as they would be making there own modifications to the ships systems.
Scofield had already begun his modifications, however, they where only minor on the account the major weaponary systems where offline due to numerous upgrades, one of which was the targeting systems.
John left the bridge in the hands of Cyklus, and headed back onto the starbase, for a much needed rest.

Captain Fletcher turned and said,
" goodnight Vice Admiral, pleasant dreams sir"
Cyklus took Command of the bridge, sitting in the large leather Commanders chair. Sat with a PADD in his hand making praliminary checks on Shuttle craft, Captains yaght and aygo ground vehicle.
" Leutenant Commander Scofield, id like you to check all decks. Have wonder around and check out your new department. As Chief Tactical/security Officer you should be able to check all decks from the comfort of your desk"
