Timeline: Backpost - December 2388

Mor'an hastened down the corridor to her commander's office. She received a summons a short time ago, requesting her presence to discuss a matter of importance. She thought she knew what it was about, but dare she hope that it actually was? Standing in front of the door, Mor'an took a breath to steady herself before hesitantly pressing the door chime.

Commander Prin Alor looked up when the door chimed and reached for a PADD. "Enter." He fiddled with the cusp of his Bajoran earring as he waited for his appointment to enter.

Mor'an entered and stood in front of her commander, at attention, of course.

"At ease, cadet," Commander Prin said, standing up and beckoning for her to approach as he walked around his desk.

"Sir," she said, nodding her head and walking closer to the desk.

"Red Squad is scheduled for advanced field training next semester." Prin reminded her, "However, you will not be assigned to the training mission. I'm placing you and several of your fellows in a special command training program for senior grade members of Red Squad, each of you will be assigned to a tour of duty aboard a different starship. The first officers of several ships have volunteered to take on a cadet; you will be trained under their supervision in command procedures and bridge operations."

Mor'an's eyes went wide at this pronouncement. This meeting was, indeed, what she had hoped it was. "Thank you, sir," she said, unable to say much else.

The Bajoran handed her the PADD in his hand with a smile. "I'm assigning you to the U.S.S. Galileo, the Nova-class science vessel under construction at the shipyards. It's set to launch early next year. Congratulations, cadet."

"Thank you, sir," Mor'an said again, "I was hoping I would be chosen." In truth, she didn't once believe she would be refused.

Prin gave a nod. "Don't thank me, cadet, just do Red Squad proud. Dismissed."
