Joan was busy lately, and she felt the doctor would kill her if he knew she had been overdoing it. She decided not to tell him, and also that she needed a break.
She wondered what everyone was doing, and went down to the promenade. She had a hankering for some chocolate, and knew exactly which way to go. She found the bakery was a bit full, but she liked it that way.
She went to her table smiling as she saw the owner. She sat down, and looked around. Her mom wasn't anywhere in sight, but she didn't mind. She knew it would only be a matter of time until they got to catch up to and with each other. She knew being the admiral's daughter had its disadvantages, but she kinda liked not being where she was a year ago, so she didn't mind.
"Well, fancy meeting you here. So, shall I bring out a bear claw, or do you want to go straight to the eclair today?" Maria said, and Joan chuckled. If she knows what I like, then I must come here way too often. She thought.
"Both sound wonderful, and if you could bring an apple cider it would be greatly appreciated. I see you are busy, so the small talk can wait." She said and picked up a padd as Maria chuckled and left to get the order. She returned quickly too.
"Sorry I can't stay and chat, this is insane." She said and laughed as she went back to her counter. Joan noticed a couple of people sitting alone too, and she wondered who they were. She noticed a man sitting nearby.
"Hello, and who might you be?" She said, and noticed she startled him.
(any cadet)

After reporting in, I decided to look around the starbase. I walked around awile looking at the different stores, not realy paying attention to anything or anyone. Suddenly there was a smell of the past in the air. A bakery was nearby and the smell was almost beyond belief.
<I shouldn't but I cant resist>
As I walked into the bakery the noise of the crowd outside died down. It was crowded in the bakery but no much that there wasnt any empty tables available.
<Just the way I like it. By my self in the middle of the day. What should I do to keep myself out of trouble?>
Lost in thought I dint notice someone standing at my table until i heard a voice say "Hello, and who might you be?"
As I looked up I noticed the rank on her coller. Jumping to attention " Mattimio Kane, Ma'am"
"New to starfleet and just reported to the acadamy. I have yet to be assigned."

She didn't mean to unearth anyone from their seats, and wondered why he jumped up.
Oh I am still in uniform, so he must have noticed my rank. Boy is he fast, good thing too. You never know what you will have to face out there. I wonder what he will be serving as. She thought, and realized he was still standing at attention.
"As you were, and welcome aboard. It is good to meet you. Don't worry, I am sure you will be assigned soon enough. Do you mind if I join you?" She said hoping her rank didn't scare him.

"I don't mind at all ma'am, please sit." I said indicating the chair opposite me, as I took my seat.
<What do I say? Maybe I should introduce myself. Wait, I did already. Calm down Matti, calm down. She is just another person looking for company. Talk to her. Say something.>
" Uh... Ma'am, my name is Mattimio Kane. Matti for short. Nice to meet you."
<Way to go, you sounded like an idiot. You already intoruced yourself. Say something else>
"I am looking forward to being here. I realy want to become a marine and learn how to be a help to others who are in touble. But i'm not sure I'm good enough to make it even though i have some experience."

Leo had been walking around for nearly 3 hours, trying to find his assigned quarters. he had just finished reporting in, and was told to go find his quarters, easier said than done. Still carrying his bag, he accidently stumbled into the bakery, he was about to leave when he caught the wiff of the place and decided he needed a break.
He was about to find a table near another cadet, when he overheard him talking about being new and not yet assigned. 'hope they dont mind' he thought to himself as he stood up, behind the women at the table, "can i join you guys? i heard you talking about being and new, and seeing as i myself and also new, i thought it would be a good idea to join ya, hope ya dont mind" Leo said as he stood there, waiting.
The woman at the table turned around to offer him a chair, and Leo saw the pips on her collar, Quickly going to attention, he stood momentarily, and then realized she had told him to stand down.
"sorry ma'am, i'm still not used to being here"
"Its ok, happens all the time, take a seat, what do you plan on doing in starfleet?" she asked the two of them, Leo was first to reply, "i'm going for the fighter wing, i heard it was a new sqaudren and still underway, i'm hoping to be one of the few that others look up to"
<tag Joan>
After listening to Kane's reply, Leo stayed at the table and continued conversing with the two.

Duncan was sitting in the bakery, enjoying his eclaire, when he noticed a group of other officers or cadets or both, enjoying themselves at the other end of the shop. He got up and walked over to introduce himself.
"Good day, I am Duncan McCloud. Do you mind if I join you?"

She took a seat, placing her pastries, drink, and padd down near her. She took a quick bite as he spoke, and found it as wonderful as the first time she ate a bear claw. She put it down and rubbed her hands together getting any of the crumbs off.
"With an attitude like that you are probably right. Believe in yourself, and you will go far, Matti. Any experience you have might come in handy, you never know what you will be facing out there among the stars. I am sure you will do just fine out there." She said trying to reassure him.
Another man came, and Joan noticed his bag. After shortly conversing with him, she found out he was here to join the fighter wing.
"Well, we could always use more people in our fighter wing, welcome aboard. It seems you haven't found where you are staying yet. You seem tired though, perhaps something to eat and drink?" She said and noticed Maria was busy at the moment. She smiled as Matti told Leo what he was here for. She took a sip, and found a question was asked of her.
"I am an Operations instructor here on the base. I greet cadets like you, and see to it that you don't get lost, and that you have something to do while waiting for the next ship to leave." She said and took another sip after responding.
It wasn't long before another cadet joined them. Matti answered quickly. "Welcome, Duncan, good to meet you. I am Commander Joan McCormick. No need to go to attention though, I am off duty." She said and smiled, hoping not to make the other three embarrassed.
"So, what brings you three to Star Fleet?" She said hoping to keep the small talk going. Seems like a good group of guys here. Where is everyone else? Am I the only instructor available right now? Oh well, why is he staring at me like that? She thought, and noticed one of them was staring. She felt a bit uncomfortable, and hoped he would gaze at something else.

She noticed another cadet nearby, and that he was sitting alone. She didn't like that and hoped he would join them. He didn't, and she decided he needn't be alone. She heard the replies of the others, and returned her attention to them briefly.
"If you three will excuse me for a moment." She said, and got up. She noticed they all stood as she got up. Hmm, gentlemen in starfleet. Now that is a good change of pace. She thought and smiled. She walked over to the lone cadet.
"Hello, and who might you be?" She asked, and she noticed his eyes went to her collar. She was about to stop him, but found he was too quick. She continued to smile as he snapped to attention.
"Cadet Rhire, welcome aboard, as you were. I thought that maybe you might like some company. A few cadets and myself are having a nice conversation at another table. Would you care to join us?" She asked hoping he would want to.

Matti replied to Commander McCormic's question. "I am hopeing to find out the truth of my friend's 'accident'. Although I plan to look for the truth, I also plan on making the most of what time I have available in Star Fleet."
"For starters I would like to learn as much about the many different peoples of space. I would also like to know about the plants of other worlds and how they are used. For medicines and/or poisons and stuff like that. Herbology and Horticulture is one of my hobbies."
After hearing the responses of the other cadets, Commander McCormic stated "If you three will excuse me for a moment." As she got up Matti stood, having been tought good manners by his parents. He noticed that the other cadets had followed his lead and stood also.
After she left the table Matti asked "Have you two been asigned to a training ship yet?"
After hearing their answers Commander McCormic returned to the table with another cadet who introduced himself as Cadet Rhire.
In answer to his question Matti introduced himself.

Crystal hears that Tom would like to join the other cadets and officer, so she walks over to their table. “Do you mind if we join you?” she asks.
<Tag everyone>
“I'm Lieutenant Shinsei,” she introduces herself. “Navigations Instructor aboard the Hanson,” she says, then seats herself and takes a sip of her iced tea as she listens to everyone's introductions with a slight smile.
<Tag everyone>
“What are you all planning on training in?” she asks, since she wants to know, even though she knows that some of them have probably already told this bit of information a few dozen times.

Tom smiles and waves at every one, then straiten at the sight of the 4, well 3 1/2, pips on the collar of the commanders' uniform, and salutes. "I'll move another table over here yours is looking crouded." the 4 preson tables were over maned and tom didn't like setting on people when eating (really when he didn't even know them yet.) not that he had a problem with touching just that he thought at the time it would be rude. after they said what they were wanting to do tom said, "I'm in nav. I've never flew a space ship, but I have piloted planetary aircraft, repulsar ground vehicals, and aquatic craft. my dad was a shuttle tech. and when I was four he set me in his lap and let me fly the shutles after he worked on them."tag you

After everyone was settle, Joan noticed two more come over, a female with some guy. She smiled, and waited until they had another table moved. She listened to what they were all saying, and let the introductions and what they were training in go around the table. She noticed the Lt, and nodded in her direction.
"Welcome all, I am Commander Joan McCormick, for those of you who don't know. I am the Operations officer here on the base. Crystal, it is good to meet you. Tom, Crystal, what bring you both to Starfleet?" She said, not sure of what else to say. She had heard why the others were here. I wonder if Matti will find his answer. I came looking for something too, did I ever find it? She thought, and wasn't sure she did, or if she would ever find it.
"So, what do you all like to do for fun?" She asked, still trying to practise her small talk. She was never really good at it, and hoped that it didn't show now.

The commanders question dug deep in toms mind. He was thinking "Why did i join Starfleet?" then it came to him and he remembered why. "For my family. For there safety, and because my grandfather was an Fleet Admiral like forty years ago and he told me chicks dig the uniform.""So, what do you all like to do for fun?"tom looks at the commander wide eyed and says "I would have to say that my favorite thing to do is, go fast in small spaces. I have this holodeck program called "C.H.P. Highway 99 Traffic" and I run from the California Highway Patrol, Fresno, Madera, Cowchilla, and Merced county sheriff, in an older ground vehicle, that moves on wheels like the cave men had, except made of polymers and more modern than stone, of course. [/color] What do the officers do for fun commander?"but not too hard

Leo was rather intent on listening in on the others conversations, he still didnt like telling too much about himself, and seeing as they had three new people, and a new table, he decided to keep quiet while the others talked.
"I've always been interested in sword fighting, and horseback riding. i like the outdoors mainly" Leo added in as the subject of "fun" came up.

OOC: This is a jp (joint post) between Commander McCormick and myself. She wrote all the words in yellow.
As Crystal is closer to the table, she realizes that she recognizes the Commander, from somewhere. Crystal is about to mention it, thinking she had seen Commander McCormick around the Starbase perhaps, when she remembers that she is thinking of a different McCormick-the name isn't familiar, but the face is from somewhere in Crystal's past. Crystal tries to ignore the feeling that they have met before, if briefly, and reminds herself that this is a different person. Fortunately, Crystal didn't know much about McCormick's mirror-counterpart, or it would make this conversation much harder. “What brings you both to Starfleet?” Commander McCormick asks.
“I want to work to protect other people's dreams,” Crystal replies softly. “And my...advisors,” Crystal says, not sure of what other word to use for her not-parents, “Suggested it,” Crystal finishes, feeling sort of awkward.
"So, what do you all like to do for fun?" Joan asked.
"I've always been interested in sword fighting, and horseback riding. i like the outdoors mainly," Denart says. Crystal frowns slightly, she doesn't see much point to either swords or horses, though she supposes that they would be fine as hobbies. But Crystal grew up doing things for a purpose, mostly that purpose was just to make sure she stayed alive, and sword fighting never seemed to make the list of essential life skills, since Crystal has always doubted that she would be caught in a life-threatening situation and that she would be given a sword.
“I like making holographic sculptures,” Crystal says. “And practicing unarmed combat; I've tried most sorts,” Crystal replies.
“What do the officers do for fun commander?” Tom asks.
Joan heard the question, and groaned. What do officers like to do for fun? How should I know? I know what I like to do for fun, but that doesn't mean I know what everyone likes. She thought, not sure how to answer this one. "Well, I know what I like to do in my spare time, but I don't think it wise to speak for the other officers." She started. "I like to explore caves, read, spend time with my friends, new and old." She said, and chuckled listing only a few things.
“What kinds of caves do you explore?” Crystal asks, caught by McCormick's answer to Tom's question.
"Well I've only done it once, but it was kinda cool. I think that is more of a new hobby than something I have done a lot. I would definately love to do it again though. Why, are you interested in something like that?" She said thinking she might have a new cave hunting friend.
“I'd be willing to try it certainly,” Crystal says, thinking that this might be fun, and it's something she's never gotten a chance to try before. Not that there aren't a lot of thing she hasn't gotten a chance to try, just that this one sounds more interesting than most.
"Well maybe when you get back from the next mission we could do that. Unless there are others here willing to go underground? We would be on the holodeck, but then again that is as close to real as I have gotten to this before." She said showing how she used to live life a bit. She hoped no one noticed.
<Tag All>
Joan looked up, and sure enough there was Daya. She didn't mean to, but she groaned remembering the last time they were together. Can anyone say 'catastrophe'? She smiled hoping that he didn't hear her groan. "Well, hello, I didn't expect to see you here. Wait a minute, didn't you already go through the academy?" She said, and heard his response. She couldn't forget the experience they had had together, and was glad to hear he didn't come through a second time. We need to spare the instructors here. She thought trying not to laugh at her thoughts. Suddenly him being an instructor sunk in. Poor cadets, oh well, I hope he is helping them. It would be bad if... She started to think, and got a severe reprimand from Leena. She remembered to keep smiling. "Please, feel free to join us. Maybe you can give the cadets pointers on not what to do on a training mission. Like blowing up consoles?" She said trying not to laugh.
<Tag Daya>
Crystal doesn't have a clue what the two are talking about, except for the fact that they know each other, and presumably someone blew up a console. She sighs inaudibly and takes a bite of éclair, and finds that it is quite good.

"So, what brings you three to Star Fleet?" Commander McCormick asked.
"Well, ma'am, my life wasn't going as well as i had hoped. SO I joined Starfleet to see what I could make happen." Duncan Replied.
Then the Commander said, "If you three will excuse me for a moment." She went over to someone sitting by himself. A few minutes later, both of them came over and the guy introduced himself. "Hello I am Cadet Rhire and you all are?" Cadet Kane intoduced himself, then Duncan replied, "I am cadet Duncan McCloud."
Another instructor and cadet came over and asked if they could join, evertone said sure.
Commander McCormick then asked what everyone likes to do for fun.
Duncan Replied, "I enjoy medieval combat, horseback riding and swimming."
Soon afterwards another officer came up, and Joan groaned. Duncan glanced at her, wondering what kind of history those two had together.
Joan then said, "Please, feel free to join us. Maybe you can give the cadets pointers on not what to do on a training mission. Like blowing up consoles?" she looked like she was trying to keep herself from laughing.
Duncan asked, "What is that whole thing about blowing up consoles?"

Matti listened half heartedly to everone's answers to the many questions floating around the table. Not paying much attention to what was going on,(as he was prone to do from time to time) his interest suddenly peaked when he heard "blowing up consoles". His full attention was now on the two officers.

"No not at all take a seat..... um.. Sir. So where'd ya get that accent ""I used to live in Texas, on Earth. i moved away to join starfleet" Commander McCormick had began talking to him, and Daya listened intently. "Please, feel free to join us. Maybe you can give the cadets pointers on not what to do on a training mission. Like blowing up consoles?" She said trying not to laugh.Daya smiled a bit and pretended not to answer that question. Duncan asked, "What is that whole thing about blowing up consoles?""Well, if you all must know, i suppose i could tell you of my training mission." Daya then noticed that all the cadets' attention was now on him. "lets see, i dont quite remember what the whole point of the mission was, but i do remember we had a sabatour onboard, Our first officer, Commander Hope, was accused of being a spy, and held in the brig until we had cleared it up. The ship had been taken over by Romulans, which is why Commander Hope was in the brig. the entire senior crew had been beamed over to a klingon bird of prey, more than 100 years old, with very little equipment working. closer to the beginning of the mission, we, Kirk and I, were assigned to gaurd an exit of a jeffries tube, were we had cornered the sabatour. Our instructors had gone inside to try to fish him out, and they succeded, but barely, the sabatour was still armed and was leaning out of the jeffries tube, in an attempt to shoot Kirk. I knocked the weapon away from him, and he tackled me, breaking a rib in the process. Myself and a fellow cadet, Jonathan Kirk, were heading back to sickbay, after i had been shot, and Kirk had been knocked out near the end of the mission, i was carrying him on my shoulders. Right outside the doors to sickbay, someone had place remote detanators, and placed them in a conduit, which he exploded in an attempt to kill both of us. I do believe commander McCormick had been captured and tied up by the sabatour, as well as one of cadet. they were rescued and we went home, the end" Daya looked around at the table, he wasnt sure weither or not they believed him, or they thought he was making it up. section47.proboards18.com/index.cgi?board=AcadArchive&action=display&thread=1122766927&page=1this is the site for our training mission, if you want to read it by chance, just to check my story
