Leaving Port
by Erin

"Yes, Admiral, we're ready to leave port now.... I'll call a meeting about the mission as soon as we leave port.... Yes, Admiral.... Okay. Goodbye."

Captain Adrian Fitzgerald disconnected the call to the Admiral on his video phone and spun around in his chair. "Finally, we can leave port," he said to himself as he arose from his desk.

The captain hit the switch to broadcast his video call to all video phones on the ship. "I am pleased to annouce we are prepared to leave port and will be doing so shortly. I have alreadly received our first mission from the Admiral; all personal that will be involved will be notified by tonight. Thank you."

"Lt. Adams, take us out."
