Arild piloted himself towards the enormous form of the Destiny. He had comandered the shuttle for his sole usage, he hadn't felt like sharing the journey with a group of edgy lower ranks. He watched the Destiny grow larger in the view screen. No matter how much he had read about his new ship, nothing had prepared him for the size. He knew its length of course, measurments and all, but it seemed so much larger.
His shuttle was guided softly into the shuttle bay, and came down with a faint bump. He opened the doors and looked outside. He was instantly hit by the disorganisation, the shouting and inefficiency, somone had messed up on the organisation front.
"Silence!" He shouted, and his voice filled the whole bay. The entire cavernous room fell deadly silent. Arild glared at the people around him "Try and remember who you are. You are members of the Yamatai Star Empire, most of you from the Star Army, you are not savages. I expect you to behave in a more civilised manner. Now continue with your designated tasks, or if you have none go to wherever the AI says. This if the first day of this ship, and if anyone gets brought to my attention it is not unlikely that their time with this ship will be at an end. Do I make myself clear?"
A murmer of "Yes sir." Went through the bay, as they began to go back to their tasks, in a more ordered and productive manner. Arild walked back into the shuttle and took out his bag's, slinging them over his shoulders. He walked through the bay, people parting on either side, and came to a console.
"Computer, what is the current state of the Destiny?"
"We're doing very well, thank you, Taisa Bard. The boarding is going as planned, the colonists will begin to arrive soon, and all systems are at full efficiency. All of the NovaCorp engineers are on board, there science detail, and liasons, the so called Military/Civilian class, are mostly on board. Around a third of the Star Army personel are on board, and more are aproaching."
"Thank you computer. Can you open up the PA system?" After a second the computer responded.
"It is done. Speak and everyone on the ship will hear you."
"This is Taisa Bard. I am in command of this ship, and you are under my jurisdiction. I am not pleased with what I have scene so far, get organised, now! I am not going to let you just lie back and do nothing on this ship, you will be worked, and if you don't like it you can leave. Any complaints can be sent to me, or you can come to see me. Make them good ones, stupidity puts me in a bad mood." His cold, hard voice filled the entire ship. He gestured for the message to end.
"I really would have thought somone would have come to greet me." He said to the computer.
