TCS San Jacinto CV-41
Gemini Sector
2668
Colonel Allan Patterson stood on the bridge looking into the endless void. The 38 year old Wing Commander sat in the Chief of the Watch’s chair. Life as usual in Gemini was boring. The ship was on station in the Ragnarok System to “keep the peace” as her orders were. The Kilrathi had to be fools to attack here, he thought. The TCS San Jacinto was an old Ranger Class Carrier. The ship it’s self was an older model. So it looked even less space worthy. Allan gazed at his watch. His flight was to leave in 12 minutes. Sighing he wrenched himself out of his chair and walked over to the lift. Inside Allan met someone that he did not want to deal with, 2nd Lieutenant Jeremy Rodgers, a newbie that continuously begged for action and excitement. “Hey, Skipper when will we see some action. I am tired of busting Talons.”
“Not any time soon. Anyways are you on the next flight?”
“Yeah, I have position number five.”
“Great.” Allan sighed.
“So what fighter will we fly?”
“Same as always, the F-71”
“Cool….”
“Something on your mind?”
“Yeah, I am sort of scared to…fly a combat mission.”
“Ahh, stick close to me”
‘Shit I did not just say that.’ Allan thought I am going to have some newbie all over me. Crap.
