Another New Beginning

"Lieutenant Kennerett's Person Log, recording." the computer intoned.

"I have arrived at Starbase 414 and am waiting for my new orders to come through. I have to admit, it's kind of strange. I don't know how it normally works as I've not been around that long, but I have never heard of getting sent to a post, just to wait for information about another posting."

Nerila took a sip of yet another cup of coffee she had sitting on the desk in front of her.

"I have offered my services to the infirmary, but they are rather reluctant to let me do much. I guess it makes sense. I am not on their staff and don't know their procedures."

She paused the recording and checked to see if she had any messages. She found nothing, again, and resumed the recording.

"Still nothing on the terminal. I have spent more time in the holodeck this last week than in the last year combined. There are some really weird programs in the public directory. I ran one called 'relaxation alpha seven tango' and it turned out to be a brothel full of clothed Ferengi females. I guess you never know what's going to float someone else's boat."

She took another sip from her drink and sighed. "I guess Starfleet will send me orders when they get good and ready. Until then, it's just more sitting and waiting."

She closed the log and walked over to the view port that looked out over the internal docking area. The ships coming on going always fascinated her.
