Mission:
Gone, Without Ever Knowing the Way
Location: Ten Forward
Alexandra stepped into Ten Forward and found a seat near the large windows, settling so that she could watch the stars out of them. She was early for the meeting time she had given J.R. and Clay but she didn’t mind the moment of peaceful contemplation.
Alexandra only had to wait a few minutes before both McEntyres arrived together, chatting to one another.
“I’m just saying, that if you ever get into troubles, I’m just a Subspace call away.” Clay reassured his cousin.
“Calypso has a capable Marine Detachment of their own, I’m sure they can handle whatever gets thrown at my sickbay.” J.R reminded his big hulk of a cousin as he waves to Alexandra.
“Alex!!” J.R said, as he comes over and gives her a hug.
“You remember Clay, my younger cousin”
“Oh aye; as I recall there was more than one occasion that he tagged along on our misadventures in the Academy. How you and I graduated top of our class still leaves me in shock some days.” Alex embraced J.R. and then turned to look at Clay. “How have you been, marine?”
“Not too bad” Clay smiled as he took a seat next to his Cousin. J.R. Took the seat next to Alex.
“I got to ask how you managed to pull the Astrea?” He started, smiling at her.
“Honestly; Admiral Downing came to me personally about the opening on board. I have been in the same region as the Astrea for awhile as a roving Surgeon since I am one of the small number of Doctors in Starfleet with the extensive training in Xenobiology and Neuroscience. I was actually a mite surprised when the Admiral entered my office originally.” Alex leaned back into her seat and grinned at her old friends as she spoke.
“I was a bit surprised myself getting the call for the Calypso. Never expected to be tapped for a CMO position this quickly but I’m excited about the opportunity to do some good.” J.R smiled.
“You deserve the spot; The Calypso is a good ship from what I hear too. I think you’ll do great my friend.” She grinned to him before standing again to embrace him. “Keep in touch will ya?”
“The same goes to you two. I want to hear everything yall get up too while I’m gone”
“I’ll be sure to keep in contact; having the knowledge of my predecessor aboard at fairly easy disposal could be an extraordinary resource.” She chuckled and turned toward the entrance. “I will catch you around Clay; you take care of yourself J.R. Unfortunately for myself duty calls in about an hour.
"Farewell, My Friend. Keep in touch, yeah" J.R came over to offer Alexandra a hug.
Alex embraced J.R. warmly and then stood back. “You know it, take care of yourself old friend. “Take care of yourself out there.”
