Samual and Krosin sat enjoying their breakfast, Samual having Bacon and eggs while Krosin had a salad.
After several minutes of silence, Krosin spoke up. "You know you're going to have to compensate me for the extra work you're probably going to be doing."
Samual looks up and reaches over to put his hand on hers before answering her. "I know, I'll make it up to you love."
Krosin smiled happily at Samual and wrapped her tail around his wrist. She then looked up at the time seeing that it was nearing arrival time. She practically bolted up putting her plate in the replicator to be recycled and going to grab her share of the luggage.
"Come on love, I want to see the station before we are too close!" She said excitedly. She rarely traveled and loved taking in the sights as much as possible.
Samual smiled at her excitement as he got up and put his plate in the replicator to be recycled and grabbed the rest of the luggage. As he walked to join Krosin at the door he did a quick double-check that they had gotten everything, once he was satisfied that they had, the two left for the Observation lounge.
Samual and Krosin stood together at the viewport watching intently. The Bismark was lining up for its final approach into the Spacedock of Obsidian Command, the massive doors opening to admit the starship.
As the Bismark entered Samual looked around, he could see many Starfleet ships and a handful of civilian ships. He watched as a group of workpods finished lifting the bridge module off of one of the Starfleet ships. Once it was clear they flew away with it towards the bottom of the Dockyard. He was broken out of his concentration when the intercom came to life.
"Now arriving, all disembarking personnel report to the Port docking hatch."
Hearing the call Samual reluctantly let go of Krosins hand and collects his share of their luggage from the table he had sat them on. Looking back at Krosin following him he says.
"Time to get moved into our new home."
The couple got through the check-in line relatively quickly as they were near the front. There were two security officers and an operations crewmember manning the check-in desk. As Samual stopped at the desk the lead security officer: a Petty Officer Second Class based on his insignia focused on him and spoke.
"Rank, name, and assignment sir?"
Samual handed him his ID card while responding. "Lieutenant Samual Johnson, Dockyard Operations Project Manager. And this is my wife Krosin." He gestures to Krosin as he says the last part.
The security officer looks at her and nods slightly. "Your full name and ID ma'am"
Krosin steps up and hands him her ID card while replying. "Krosin R'Trerah-Johnson."
The lead security officer looks at his partner who had been checking the luggage looking for any signal that anything was wrong then handed the pair their IDs back and waved them towards the operations crewmember.
The ops crewmember, a Chief Petty Officer looks up as the couple stand in front of her. She takes a moment to navigate through several pages of information before holding out a Padd and addressing them.
"Lieutenant Johnson sir everything seems to be in order here. The directions to your quarters are on the Padd along with some other basic information on the station and its amenities. You're expected to report to Lieutenant Commander S'Jath in Engineering Administration at 0900 hours. Mrs. Johnson, I see you are in the Civilian Affairs Unit you are scheduled to report to the main Civilian Affairs office at the same time. Welcome to Obsidian Command."
"Thank you chief." Samual says while accepting the PADD, the couple then continues on their way to the travel core to find their quarters.
The door opened admitting the couple to their quarters. They had found them rather easily a combination of already being familiar with Stardock layouts and good directions.
The couple found the quarters to be effectively identical to their old quarters as a couple on Starbase 74. There was an open living space with a small dining area and a small workspace. Finally, the bedroom had a slightly larger than usual bed to accommodate a 6'4" Caitian.
Samual put down the luggage on the bed and came back out to the living area. Sitting down on the couch Samual looked over his transfer orders and some of the basic information on the station. He could feel the couch shift as Krosin sat down next to him, and then leaned into his side. He used his free hand to brush Krosin's mane, causing her to purr happily.
"Now this is home." He said with a smile.
The two sat together for about fifteen minutes before they had to leave to report in. He gave her a quick kiss on the top of the head before starting to stand up, checking that his uniform was all set and grabbing his transfer Padd. "We have to go report in love."
She checked her own uniform as a member of the Civilian Liaison unit making sure her nametag was in place before nodding to Samual.
"Ready to go love." With that, they left their quarters to go to work.
