Shuttle Craft 03
En route to Starbase Thrinacia
18h35 Hours
Des gazed out the forcefield window of the shuttle and saw Earth for the first time from space. What an incredible site! Earth looked so small and yet he realized just how small he was in comparison. It almost scared him to think how vast and huge the universe was. This was his dream and Starfleet was giving him a taste for his future. As the shuttle approached the Starbase Des felt an uneasiness deep inside of him. He still remembered his fiancée and realized that he probably would never get back together with her again, he felt heartbroken but he also realized it was for the best, he was done with woman, he would never attempt to move on.
Des gazed deeply at the massive Starbase, there was nothing like that on Earth... Often when Des looked up into the sky he would see the orbiting stations and ships, they appeared as if they were slow moving stars. But in reality, they were moving often around twenty-thousand kilometers per hour around Earths orbit. Des also remembered an engineering quote that stuck in his mind when he was a teenager. "Orbiting a planet is like the object is always falling to the planet but keeps on missing."

The Starbase was amazing, nothing like Des had ever imagined it. There were four shuttles that had just arrived and Des could see about one hundred meters away from him the shuttle his new found friend Bjorn was in. It looked like Bjorn beat him. But then he noticed Bjorn climbing out of the shuttle. Bjorn looked as if he was really happy.
"BJORN!" Des shouted across the bay, but Bjorn didn't hear him, there was way too much noise!
Des made his way to a computer console and looked at the screen. He was familiar with the operating system, it was LCARS 5. Or so he thought... it did look a little different judging by the color scheme.
"Computer, please direct me to the Main Gallery" Desmond spoke in a natural tone.
"Authorization denied, please state rank and name for first use
"Cadet Des Locker" Desmond replied with a sigh and almost wanting to smack the screen.
Access granted. Please follow the passage way to your immediate right. Thank you for using LCARS Navigation and welcome onboard Starbase Thrinacia.
With that Des made his way down the passage way.

Des was a little worried, time was running out, he knew he had to be there on time. As he walked through the passage he notice some good looking female officers staring at him, in a way he thought they were attractive but he was still way to scared to return a smile, instead he just nodded his head once and half grinned in a nervous manner. Des was always a very gentle man. But after the sudden breakup with his fiancée, Rachel, something had changed. He became a little bit bitter. In hopes of remedying the problem, he chose to do the counselling course at the Academy. Perhaps he could help himself to break free of the heartache and help others do the same in the future as a ships counselor.

Des had made it on time... But only just, he noticed some of his Academy professors already there. He had only really met two of them so far. Two very good men. One of which,in a way, he envied. He was the commanding officer of the Bravehart, the very ship Des hoped to serve on for his dissertation.
Des walked up to the bar and noticed his new found friend already there.
"Hey Bjorn, saw you in the shuttle bay, tried to call but it was too loud in there. Enjoy the trip?" Des spoke cheerfully.
