STARBASE THRINACIA - Docking Port 4-A
USS Stallion of Darkness - Dock Junction
[0710hrs]
"This is it." One of the Security Officers of the Stallion said. The doors swooshed open revealing the reception floor. Malone walked onto the floor as the officers help carry his belongings.
'So this is Thrinacia.' He thought to himself. Watched as security members, officers, civilians and traders walk through the reception floor. Familes were meeting their loved ones, while the latter were wishing farewell. Security hauled a roudy civilian through the crowd and disappeared around a corner, while some who were off duty, were conversing amongst themselves. In another corner, he saw civilians aguring with some security personnel and officers, while others were conversing over normal circumstances.
What Malone saw, wasn't just people doing or going to their jobs. He saw the people that he was and everyone in the UFPDF were trained to protect, to serve, to love despite the differences they had that divided them...and the similarities that formed alliances with them.
"Where do you want these Sir?" He asked Malone. He turned to him, glancing at his padd.
"It'll be this way." He said, heading in a direction.
Starbase Thrinaica - Docking Port 5-A [0711 HOURS]
Malone stood as he looked out at the Excelsor Class Starship that sat infront of him. Through the large bar window wall, the Starship sat in dock, swarmed by worker bees and maintince arms, running their last double checks over the ship before service. This ship is one of the first Mk.IIIs at this time* and is expetant to excede expetations in the field. The name, stretched along side, through the windows on the haul: 'AGAMEMNON.'
"Agamemnon?" The Tactical officer said, reading the words.
"...Early Century Earth, Greek?" The other tactical officer said, taking a breather for a minute.
"Yes. It means, 'very resolute' in Greek." Malone said, turning to them.
"If I remember correctly according to Early Century Earth greek mythology, Agamemnon was the son of King Atreus of Mycenae and Queen Aerope and was also the brother of Menelaus and the husband of Clytemnestra. He was the king in some stories of the anicent famous greek cities of Mycenae or Argos." He said. He turned towards the window.
"Agamemnon was the commander of the Achaeans in the ensuing Trojan War. He was murdered however mysertously. The Oddessy, book wrote by Homer, upon his return from Troy he was said to be murdered by Aegisthus, the lover of his wife Clytemnestra, while another says he was murdered by the wife herself." He finished.
The tactical officer looked at him.
"So wait...your taking command of a vessel named after a commander that that don't even know if ether his wife or her cheating boyfriend murdered him?" He asked.
An Ackward silence encroached the room.
"...It was ether that or the USS Percy." Malone said. The two Tact personnel shook their heads at him.
"The quarters are on the ship. Put them there." He said as he headed off in the direction of the fleet admiral's office.
