Tommy Tagerts family, all standing in a circle, holding hands to pray. His grand father a retired officer of starfleet command so many years ago says a prayer for his grand, son finaly out of school and heading off to the academy. Just a short walk down from their house in madera, to the transporter terminals on gateway drive, and then to San Fran Sisco. Tommy, err uh Tom, as he had told his grand father he preferred to be called, was white knuckled, and red faced with all the family there to see him off, and his mother (whom he loved) never showed up.
As illogical as it sounded his mother after she had left his dad (a local shuttle tech./mechanic), had ran off to Vulcan to study the ways of logic and the teachings of surock with her new Vulcan lover tel' rye. Tom understood that she couldn't be reached in the forge but he had always thought she had esp because usual she would show up in the knick of time when ever he needed her.
The white hands and red face weren't from missing his ma ma, he was nervous about joining the academy; in school he didn't have the best grades, and he shure as heck wasn't the spelling b champ, but his teachers liked him and the people that he spent time with (friends) would always look to him for leadership, from girls to guitars to "where are we going to eat?". (not that he claimed to be an expert in ether of the first two), they just asked him.
As the last wave of hugs came to and end he walked down to the TP Terminal with his dad. "Ya got every thang ya need" his father asked in his Oklahoma accent. "Yea dad, thanks.I love you." "I love you to." his father echoed, as tom stepped onto the transporter pad, turned around and said "OK I'm rea.........dy to go." and there he was in San Fran Sisco feeling silly for speaking during transport. "Well next stop starbase Conqueror."Tom said as he made his way to the shuttle craft his ride to section 47's academy. The shuttle was full of young men and "Ladies" as his father called them. they were all kinda scared looking and he could imagine himself, all red faced,but for some reason he didn't feel so scared any more. Then the shuttle docked and the doors opened to section 47 and he was there.
He opened his mouth and reported to the officer waiting in the shuttle bay "cadet Thomas J. Tagert reporting for duty!" (MUSIC) "dump dump dun"

Crystal is waiting in the shuttle bay, since she has been told that there will be a cadet arriving there. She spots who she thinks is him, and makes eye contact. “Cadet Thomas J. Tagert reporting for duty!” the cadet says.
“Welcome to Starbase Conqueror,” Crystal says, happy that the cadet has confirmed his identity, and that he is the cadet she was sent to meet and welcome. “I’m Lieutenant Crystal Shinsei, Navigations Instructor aboard the USS Hanson.” Crystal smiles at the Cadet.
“The Hanson isn’t ready to leave quite yet, so after you’ve settled into your temporary quarters on the Starbase, feel free to relax, enjoy yourself. I’d recommend somewhere, but I haven’t been around Conqueror long enough to know.” Crystal shrugs slightly, not quite sure what else she could say, but then she remembered something.
“I have your room assignment,” she says, and hands him a PADD coded for the Cadet. “That should have your room number and the temporary authorization code on it. I may not know all the places aboard Conqueror, but I can help find the room if you want,” Crystal finishes clearly.

nervous and looking to make a friend, the cadet smiles, takes the pad, and says with a smirk, "that sound like a good idea." then the Lt. says "good lets go." turning on his heal he walked out of the shuttle bay and down the corridor. as they reach the turbo lift he stops, turns to wards her, and asks. then tripping over his own feet [thoughts on the way to the floor: what am i tripping on? i don't have shoe laces, stupid stupid stupid, i wish i just had a time transporting device, this is going to hurt a little, i hope i don't get a black eye.] he falls to the cold deck plates

"So after you show me my room, you think you can show me the best place to get a drink around here?"
“I may not know the best place, but I can certainly suggest a few different ones to try, depending on what you’re looking for,” Crystal replies. She has heard of many of the restaurants and cafés and such, but she hasn't had a chance to visit very many of them.
Crystal watches Tom falling, but she can’t move quickly enough to catch him. She helps him back to his feet. “Do you want to go see the doctor to get that looked at?” Crystal asks him concerned. She would understand if he would, since it would be easy to get it healed, but she would also understand if not, since she has been known to do the same.

had Lt. JG Crystal had been a man tom would have said "no errrrrrr i like the pain." but since she was a she, he decided he would say. "Maybe later after we get that drink i was talking about. so you know where this room is, this says D:27 S:2 R:14. Is this a secret code?" with a bit of a giggle she said "No secret code, it's D for deck:27 S for Section:2 and R for room:14. Boy you really are green." Tom noticed that she was still looking at his eye, so he asked." well what's it look like." shrugging and turning her head to the side a little she said. i don't know tune in tomorrow same trek time same trek channel.tag tag tag crystal

“I would guess your quarters fulfill the basic requirements, and you'll just be on them until an academy mission sets out, then you get to transfer to quarters on the ship. So don't get too settled into these quarters,” Crystal replies, smiling.
They arrive at the room, and Tom looks at Crystal as if he's unsure of what to do next, in order to open the door. “Say open, then read out your authorization code,” Crystal tells him.
<Tag Tagert>
“You can also theoretically change your authorization code easily, but I'm not actually entirely sure how you would do that,” Crystal admits to Tom, then gestures at him to enter his room and settle in. She doesn't feel quite comfortable entering the room, so she waits outside.
<Tag Tagert>
After he had settled in, Crystal glances at him.”Have any questions?” she asks brightly.
<Tag Tagert>
“Well, I have one, what kind of drink did you want?” she asks, smiling. “Since where we go depends on your answer to that question.”

They arrive at the room, and Tom looks at Crystal as if he's unsure of what to do next, in order to open the door. “Say open, then read out your authorization code,” Crystal tells him.He entered the code. "open. Computer this is cadet Thomas J. Tagert. autherazation......green 101...verry funny." "PLEASE REPEAT LAST COMMAND" "green 101."“You can also theoretically change your authorization code easily, but I'm not actually entirely sure how you would do that,” Crystal admits to Tom, then gestures at him to enter his room and settle in. She doesn't feel quite comfortable entering the room, so she waits outside. Tom enters the room. "WELCOME CADET TAGERT WOULD YOU LIKE TO CHANGE YOUR AUTHORIZATION CODE?" "yes Tom Tango Two Ten Twenty Two." After he had settled in, Crystal glances at him.”Have any questions?” she asks brightly.Tom: no. you?“Well, I have one, what kind of drink did you want?” she asks, smiling. “Since where we go depends on your answer to that question.”Tom: thinking about how the Lt. is a Lt. and an officer, tom decides to try something light like "coffee or tea. What do you like?"even though tom didn't like either. alright campers i have one announcement and one question, announcement come back bright and early so every one will get a chance to get through the chow line and when are we going to get a drink this story is making me thirsty? taggy taggy crystal ;D

Crystal frowns a little when the Tagert's authorization code is offered to be changed. “Well, it wasn't this easy for me,” she mutters, but she doesn't think the cadet overhears her, which is probably a good thing. Crystal guesses that instructors are just supposed to have greater familiarity with the computer systems, but she doesn't think that's necessarily a safe assumption to have had made.
"Coffee or tea. What do you like?"
“Tea is fine,” Crystal says, but she thinks she detects a lack of excitement, which might mean that the cadet isn't too fond of the idea of either coffee or tea. Or it might mean that he doesn't get excited easily.
“Might I suggest Tante Maria’s Bakery then?” Crystal asks. “It has a variety of drinks, and you can also get some food there.”

"Sounds good to me." they walked to the turbo lift and the Lt. said "Deck 24, Section 23." "Deck 24, Section 23" echoed Tom. They walked up to the counter and Tom said "what's good?"
Lt. Shinsei
"Then I'll have one too. Excuse me Lt. Shinsei, do you think we could go to the space dock, and take a look at some of the star ships? I can't say that i have ever actually seen one in real life."

"What's good?" Tom asks.
“The éclairs,” Crystal replies definitively. She orders one and a glass of iced tea, and Tom also orders an éclair.
“Excuse me Lt. Shinsei, do you think we could go to the space dock, and take a look at some of the star ships? I can't say that i have ever actually seen one in real life."
Crystal looks at him and sighs slightly. “Ah, yeah, sure, we can do that after eating,” she says, suddenly avoiding eye contact. She has never been one much for star gazing, in fact, she would much rather look at a variety of other things, rather than the stars. Still, she figures that she can just stare at the floor, hopefully in such a way that Cadet Tagert won't notice anything wrong.
As they are looking for a seat, Crystal notices that there are some empty tables, but there is also a group of cadets with an instructor. Crystal doesn't know the instructor, she doesn't know any of the instructors yet, but she thinks that perhaps it might be nice to join them. “There's a group about 45 degrees off to our right,” Crystal points out to Tom. “We can join them if you want, or we can find a table on our own.”
