After an over-running final exam and a transport mix-up, Leo was finally standing in his newly appointed quarters aboard the Yeager. He was originally due to be transferred with a small group of other freshly qualified officers from the Academy, but they had already boarded and shipped out before his own exam had finished.
Delays put aside, as frustrating as they were, Leo stood in his new room reading the Padd which contained his assignment details.
Great. A party to get the day going.
Leo checked his internal sarcasm so it didn’t slip out when he got to the official commissioning ceremony which was listed on his Padd and got dressed in his new, unused whites. Uncomfortable as they made him feel, it wouldn’t be as uncomfortable as a party, let alone one with so many unknown people.
Rushing himself a bit as a result of already being late, Leo arrived at the observation lounge where he entered a room full of officers all dressed to impress. Leo’s face showed off that he was attempting to remain neutral, he never did have a good poker face, but he tried to hide his discomfort within such a gathering, but also because he was panicking that his bright ginger hair was dramatically clashing with the almost brilliant white of his uniform. His hazel eyes darted around the room rapidly, finding the Cadets he had gone to the Academy with and many of the officers he read about in the ship's roster, but his gaze was drawn by two individuals in particular, a large gorn and a cyborg.
He had read up on the Yeager and its crew on his way to Starbase 214 as many things he heard about its possibly sordid history and its pirate like crew, which he always believed to be just rumours, and they were until he read the accessible files on its previous mission.
I didn't see them on the roster, so maybe if they're here, the rumours about the ship are just as real as them two are. Good to know.
Trying his hardest not to stare and be rude, Leo walked further into the room wordlessly, as everyone else was already engaged in some conversation and he didn’t want to interrupt them. As he walked about, he tried to keep an eye out for the captain, having the need to introduce himself and let her know that he was aboard and ready to work and moved towards his captain in an attempt to do so after spotting her.
“Captain Braggins, a brief moment of your time please” Leo called out just loudly enough to be heard over the hustle and bustle of people mingling.
