USS Braveheart
Personal Quarters
1715 hours
Donald stood from having been sitting on the end of the bed in his assigned quarters, and took one last glance around the room. The ship he had once served on as Commanding Officer still held one of the largest pieces of his heart. It had been his home for nearly 10 years, even now as he was a Retired Captain and held the role of Mission Advisor. But, alas, it was time to leave her.
The Braveheart was due to be assigned on routine patrol within the Fleet, departing shortly after 2100 hours that same evening. Donald stood hoping that he wouldnt have left at that time so as to see her ample nacelles disappear out into space through the spacedock doors. He sighed. Ample nacelles. Chuckling, the Retired Captain slung his travelcase onto his shoulder and picked up the one remaining PADD from the bedside table that detailed his new assignment.
Even though he was now retired, Donald still felt he could be of use; and as such had agreed with Admiralty to stay on in his Advisory roles within the Fleet. It was just a shame he couldnt stay aboard the Braveheart, but that CO didnt need advising - Captain Grey was an expert these days, and Donald was just glad he was able to have seen the Lieutenant progress through to Captain.
Starbase Thrinacia
Main Promenade
1723 hours
After a while, although it merely seemed like seconds, Donald found himself looking out across the Main Promenade of the Starbase; noticing the various areas under refit and so off-limits. As always for this time of day the deck was busy, the usual hustle and bustle of the civilians going home from their day jobs, or children shopping. Although Donald did raise an eyebrow in disagreement to one group of what must have been 11 year olds shopping alone. He would never have allowed his own children to shop unsupervised when they were that age. But, enough of that - he had somewhere to be.
And so, without further a-do, Donald continued on from the Promenade to make his way to the docking ports, and his new home.
