OFF: I hope this posting format is ok, if not, please, let me know, 
before I continue with it, thank you.

Camdr. Ford: As I gathered my belongings and personal effects, into 
my duffle bag, I could not help, wonder of what kind of mission we 
will face, or what kind of wonders we will face.

Camdr. Ford: It was very exciting and intriguing, but in any case, it 
will not be boring.

(He finally finished packing, and then headed to his door, he paused, 
and looked around, his quarters, then turned off the lights, and 
headed out.)

(He arrived to the turbo lift, and entered it)

Camdr. Ford: Deck 12, section B.

(The lift whooshed in reaction of the orders, of Mr. Ford.)

(The Lift came to a slow stopped, and the doors open up, to reveal a 
long corridor)

(He started to walk, and entered the 2nd door to his left, and 
entered the transporter room. He greeted the Officer, and requested 
to transport to the USS Excalibur for duty.)

(He was immediately transported to the ship, and then was greeted by 
the Excalibur Transporter Officer, but the Officer reaction was 
different then he showed others that arrived, he knew who he was)

Transporter Chief: *smiles*, John, it has been a while, **They both 
shook Hands** how are you doing?

Camdr. Ford: *smile* Not bad, not bad at all, are you surprise to see 
me?

Transporter Chief: To be honest, yes I am, I had no idea they you 
were assigned to this ship.

Camdr. Ford: Well, actually, I requested this, I thought it would be 
a great honor, to serve on a new ship, of this caliber, "Pardon the 
pun of course."

Transporter Chief: Well I wish we could spend more time, recalling 
the old days, but I am only a temp, to this ship.

Camdr. Ford: A shame, well, you take care of your self, and your 
family. Don't forget to write.

Transporter Chief: *smile* Never, see you later Commander Ford.

Camdr. Ford: You to chief.

(He walks through the doors, and into the hallway, he imm. Heads to 
his quarters to set down his stuff, and to get organized, his second 
stop was his office.)

(He left his quarters, and headed to the turbo lift, he entered it, 
and doors did not close)

Camdr. Ford: Doors close.

No answer…

Camdr. Ford: Doors close.

No answer….

(He tried to close the doors, manually, but no success, he finally 
had to take the second option, the Jeffries tubes, which he hated, 
but had no choice.)

(Once he finally arrived to his office, out of breath, and tired, he 
crashed on his couch, and rested for a few min. to catch his breath.)

Camdr. Ford: My first day, and I am already out of breath, but I 
guess that comes with the job.

OFF: How's is that people, I look forward to RPG gaming with all of 
you, Peace.
