Mission: Once Upon A Time on Risa.
Location: USS Sunfire

:ON:

Following the Captain’s meeting, Andrew had returned to his quarters. The news that they would be heading towards Risa had given him a huge burst of excitement deep in the pit of his stomach. He was a regular visitor to Risa, so knew all the best places to hang out.

He entered his quarters and started looking through his closet for the pair of silver swimming shorts he knew he had somewhere. He considered them to be lucky, because each time he had worn them on Risa he had managed to make a few ‘friends’ with the local female population. Something he wasn’t planning on passing up on this time.

But the best news of all was his promotion. He was now the Executive Officer of the USS Sunfire.

He stopped searching the closet for a moment to let that thought sink in a bit more. He, Andrew Archer, was the XO of the Sunfire. He still couldn’t believe it. The only caveat was that the Captain had asked him to stay on as Chief Science Officer as well, at least until Starfleet were able to find a replacement. Andrew’s passion for science meant he had very little problem with the Captain’s proviso.

Finally, he found the silver swimming shorts. He held them up proudly before throwing them towards the now-open trunk he kept under his bed. “Computer, a little summery music. Play In the Summertime by Mungo Jerry.” Andrew loved this 20th century song, and it always made him feel happy on the inside despite anything else that may be happening to him. He couldn’t wait to get to Risa!
