As the shuttle slowly made it's way into the bay, and eased it's way to the deck, Silea was the first one down the ramp once it lowered. As her foot hit the deck of the Calypso, she felt a sense of accomplishment overwhelm her. She'd made it! And she was posted on a Galaxy class starship too! As some of the other passengers brushed by either side of her, she stood there taking it all in.
When she finally came to, she looked around and saw the bay was empty. All of the personnel who had been aboard the shuttle had all filed out. Vaguely wondering how long she had been standing there, she made her way out of the bay and to her quarters. No sooner than she dropped her bags off had she made her way to the lounge on deck 10, grabbed a cold glass of ice water, and sat down, staring out the viewport at the stars beyond, wondering how many of them she'd be fortunate enough to visit in the future.
