ON: [[Transporter Room 1, USS Pandora, Mission Day 03, 1804]]

Fredrick (NPC) slid his hands across the controls of the transporter console and watched as the pattern appeared in the buffer and was then pushed into the rematerialization matrix. As he slowly brought power down, he watched the form of a humanoid male form on the transporter pad.

As the transporter effect faded away, Jesse slowly turned his head to survey the room from where he remained standing on the transporter pad. It really did not look all that different from the room he had just left aboard the Orlando. The color tones of the deck plating and bulkheads seemed very much the same. Even the physical arrangement of the control station compared to the transporter dias was pretty typical of the standard Federation transporter room. The only major difference now was that he was aboard the Pandora, his new home.

The young Betazoid adjusted the hem of his uniform jacket and pulled the strap of his travel bag up onto his shoulder. Turning to face the operator behind the control station, he asked, "Permission to come aboard?"

"Permission granted, Sir." Fredrick responded. "Captain Iluvar has been apprised of your transfer."

"He...he has," Jesse said, somewhat surprised the commanding officer had already been made known of his arrival. Typically it was the responsibility of junior officers such as himself to report in with their department heads upon arrival.

"Yes, Sir." the crewman replied. "Being that you are coming aboard in a somewhat unusual method, and with the ship on yellow alert, he was informed of your transport."

"Oh...right," Jesse remarked, seeing somewhat belatedly how the crewman's explanation actually made perfect sense. He should not have been surprised the captain was being kept appraised of anything out out of the ordinary taking place during yellow alert status. It just went to show how much he still needed to get used to about living aboard a starship.

Fredrick smirked slightly as he checked an incoming text message on his console. "Is that your only bag, or do you need more transferred to your quarters?"

Realizing he still hadn't moved from where the transporter had rematerialized him, Jesse took a hesitant step forward and awkwardly descended from the dias. Some first impression I'm making, he thought to himself as he reached the floor. "There should be a medium hard-case, but that's it," Jesse told the crewman.

"I'll have it transported and moved to your quarters right away. Is there anything else I can do for you, Sir?" Fredrick asked.

"That should be all, I think," Jesse replied, turning toward the door. He had only taken a few steps when a sudden thought hit him. Cringing, he paused and slowly turned back toward the transporter console. Just when he had thought his arrival could not have gotten any worse. "Actually," he said, "now that I think about it...you wouldn't happen to know where my quarters might be, would you?"

"Um..." Fredrick sighed, "Let me look it up for you. Just a moment."

After a few moments of searching through the directory, Fredrick looked back up at the young man and responded, "That would be deck two, section four, room eight."

Jesse nodded once to show that he understood. "Thanks," he said before disappearing out the door and into the corridor beyond. So much for his lucky day.
