A red-headed officer finally entered and, upon seeing the disarray in the shuttle bay, sighed and snatched an electronic clipboard from upon a communication terminal. He then positioned himself in such a way as to direct the new arrivals.
His gray-paneled uniform had been loosened as if he had been either working or had just become uncomfortable, and he looked a bit sleepy, but he quickly managed to get most of the new departures housed, directed, and generally done with.
Then he came to a little creature that he didn't off-hand recognize (not that he had been informed of these new arrivals, more's the pity.) It must be one of those new creatures - what were they called? He caught site of another. He'd never seen real ones, just pictures on a vid screen. He looked quietly down at them for a minute, then brought up their files on the clipboard screen.
"Nitô Heisho Zao-Fe and Santô Hei Talis?" he asked, looking up from his work but not stopping to hear their answers - there was very little chance of mistake, "Zeo-Fe is assigned to tower three, floor twenty-one, room seven. Talis, you are assigned to the same tower, same floor, but one room over - the sixth room. Welcome to the YSS Destiny, any questions?"
All of a sudden his clipboard began beeping. A little screen popped up, and he took a bit of time to read it. "Seekrin, you also have quarters beside the kitchen and your workplace has been adapted to your size in advance." So said the clipboard, so said he! How people figured this stuff out beforehand was beyond him...
