[USS Salvation - Transporter Room]

Maxwell had been informed that the ship would be within the transporter range within minutes. He collected his belongings from his room that he been staying in. He placed the strap over his shoulder and headed out of the room. He was finally going to begin his new assignment as the First Sergeant aboard the USS Calypso. It was an exciting time for him.

It had taken him a few minutes to make his way down the corridor to the transporter room as he stepped in he noticed the crew member on duty. He nodded to him.

"We will be within range in a minute, Sergeant."

"Thank you." Maxwell responded. He made his way over to the transporter pad and dropped his bag on it. He leaned down and looked for the PADD. Once he found it he pulled it out and looked over it to make sure it was the one he needed. His back was to the door so when it opened he had no idea who it was that stepped in.

"I hope you weren't planning on sneaking off without saying bye." The familiar voice said.

"I wouldn't dream of it, Major." Maxwell responded as he turned around to face her. He turned off the PADD and placed it on his back.

"Are you sure about that Sergeant?" Major Magnus asked.

Maxwell nodded. "Positive Major."

"We are within the transporter range ready when you are Sergeant." The transporter crew member interrupted the two.

Helen looked over at the crew member. "I will take it from here."

The crew member nodded and headed out of the transporter room.

Helen turned to Maxwell and smiled at him. "It has been a pleasure having you aboard the vessel the past few weeks."

Maxwell smiled. "I have enjoyed my time aboard the Salvation. I have grown to like the ship actually."

Helen stepped in closer to him. "I'm glad. I hope your new assignment is fulfilling."

"As do I, Major." Maxwell responded.

Helen put her hand out in front of him. Maxwell looked at her hand and took it. The two of them exchanged a hand shake then Helen stepped back.

"If I ever need a First Sergeant, I will give you a call." She said as she walked towards the console.

"I look forward to it." Maxwell responded as he turned around grabbing his bag. He placed the strap over his shoulder and positioned himself on the transporter pad to be beamed over.

"Goodbye, Sergeant." Helen said as she input the coordinates into the transporter room console.

"Goodbye, Major." Maxwell responded with a smile as he was beamed off the Salvation over to the Calypso.

Helen smiled to herself and left the transporter room.
