ON:

After Serena had the time to meet a few people on the ship and time to see what her office was like. Simply she knew she was going to like here on the Calypso, people seemed friendly enough or at for know. She made her was down to the Shuttlebay area. Of course walking into the main area there they were the shuttle crafts laying their with there officer's repairing the damage they had to endure earlier. But her mind was more on what the Freighter's. The Captian had mentioned that the ship had a few freighters on her earlier incounter. She stoped an officer walking by her.

"Excuse me can you tell me were I can find Lt. McGraw," she stated kindly.

The officer looked up from his PADD and stated, "O he's over there." The officer pointed to an officer sitting at a desk looking over paper work.

"Thank you," she stated with a nod to her head and headed over to the man at the desk. Reaching the desk, Serena stood infront of it and stated peppy, "Hello, I asume your Lt. McGraw?"

Randall looked up. "Yes that would be me."

"Well it's nice to meet you. I'm new here and well my name is Lt. Serena Jones I'm the ships new Chief Flight Control Officer," she smiled, "The Captian had mentioned you guys have freighters here on this ship? I was wondering if we could take a look at them?"

Randall looked at her as if she had a third eye growing out of her forehead. "I am hoping you mean fighters. As big as this ship is, she can't fit even one freighter inside her. I do believe you misheard our gallant Captain." He raised an eyebrow slightly at her.

"O", stated Seren slightly disapointed. The man did make a good point. She was hoping dearly that there were some since those were her favorite to fly but she turned the negative to a postive and stated, "I must have," she giggled slightly embarrassed, "Then perhaps a tour then? A girls got to know if some chance she's gotta fly one of these things. She got to know what she's flying." She pointed behind her, "Or am I taking up your time?"

Randy groaned mentally. Outwardly he just smiled and nodded. He turned to look behind him. "Ewan! Get your butt over here."

Fraser ran over to where Randy was at. "Whats up boss?"

Randall motioned towards Ewan. "Lieutenant Jones, this is Ensign Ewan Fraser, my Squadron Leader. He will be able to give you the tour that you so desire, and answer any of your questions as well. I would do it myself, but I do need to get our birds up to snuff after the action we just got into."

He turned to Ewan. "Take your time, and be thorough. No need to rush."

Turning back to Serena, he smiled broadly, "Please, by all means feel free to ask any questions you would like. Once again, my humble apologies for not being able to give you the tour myself."

She waved her hand to the Lt. and stated, "O don't worry about it. I understand." Then she lookd at Ewan and stated, "Shall we then." Then she gave him a big smile and walked up next to him, "Show all that you know." Then she grabbed hold of the Ensign and started walking away, but quickly turned around and stated in a jokingly manner; and loud enough for the Lt to hear, "Perhaps even take shuttle or Fighter out." Then she gave Randall a grin like she was kidding, like she wasn't going to do it.

Two dozen heads turned their direction as Randall slowly stood to face her. "I beg your pardon, but I do not think that it would be prudent or even authorized to allow you access to our fighters. Your joke, if a joke it was, was in the worst possible taste. I would much appreciate it if you don't even assume that such is acceptable, let alone humorous, and keep such thoughts or intentions to yourself in the future." With that said he stormed out of the Shuttle Bay, one destination firmly in mind.

Ewan turned to her. "I know you were only joking, but you may have just made a really bad impression on the Wing Commander. Given that he just came back from a mission almost in pieces, almost dying to get crucial information to the Captain, now really isn't the best time to be making jokes of that nature." He then motioned towards the fighters and started walking.

By the way Randall stormed away, Serena give a 'oops' kind of look. "Wow I didn't know," she stated to the Ensign, "Maybe there might be away to make it up to him. Like apologize in some way. I don't want to create something that isn't there. You know what I mean?"

Fraser just shook his head. "Just watch your step for the next day or two. That should give him time to cool down."

Serena smiled, "So Ensign show me around. Give me the grand tour of the shuttle bay. I just love ships and such. I was the best in my class at the academy. I was what you can say a born flyer."

Ewan started walking around the bay, allowing her to step inside the Valkyries, and the few shuttles around, answering her questions as they went.

"Wow Ewan I might come down here from time to time when you guys test these things out," as she gave one last glance over everything. Then she continued sweetly, "My dear Ensign send my regards to Lt. Randall and thank you for the tour. It was quite lovely."

Ewan just shook his head as he chuckled. "That one isn't up to me, and since all our fighters are personally assigned to each of our pilots, and they get kinda touchy about anyone else flying them. I was glad to be of assistance though, and welcome aboard."

She nodded her head and turned around and left the shuttle bay area and headed to her office to see what she was truely dealing with.
