Ensign Keller had met The XO the day before and was standing on deck 42 waiting for Sheridan to Arrive. The hanger bay was empty now and the only thing that remained were the Orion's Six brand new Razor Interceptors and A Fleet Captain Named Hatcher who was pretty friendly.
Sheridan Entered and shook Haters hand,"Sorry, but it took me forever to get down here."
Captain Hatcher smiled. "No sweat, well there ya are. Six outta the box toys for boys."
John Nodded, he introduced Keller as one of his pilots to Hatcher and all Three took a closer look at the Air Craft. All were in great shape and their assembly had been closely supervised by The Captain.
Gordon ran his hand down a leading edge of the Wing. "I'd like to see you get another squadron of these but we're so short on pilots these days, Keller, how many were in your graduating class?"
Ensign Keller responded. Twenty Nine Sir, The class behind mine had Forty Two when I left."
Captain Hatcher gestured at the hanger bay, They can stay here until you board and your flight control folks get settled. I have security posted on them and the hangers sealed Your guys will be able to enter but that's it."
"Thank you Captain Hatcher I know this was a pain in the tail. I'll get with the CO and try to get them out of your hair as soon as possible."
Sheridan turned to Keller. "You got the keys ensign, as soon as our air craft maintenance people start showing up get them down here and get them to work."
"Aye,aye Sir."
