Captain Trip and Commander Bracken were disputing among themselves, but Heinrich wasn’t really paying attention. He had grown up being told stories about Starfleet heroes of old. He may now have to be one of them. When you listen to a story it’s exciting, but one of the most trying things in life can be to find yourself within a story. Heinrich was in a story.

"Kruze, get your medkit and a phaser ready.” Captain Trip knocked Heinrich out of his fugue. “Aye captain.” He muttered. ~At least I have the bare minimum right, I brought my medkit~ he thought to himself. But when he checked his belt he realized he forgot his phaser. Stupid! 

"Commander Merek, get the beam ready. I want our team in that holodeck by 0100."

“I still don’t trust the site to site system, have them assemble in Emergency Transporter room two just down the hall, eighteen minutes?” Heinrich overheard. ~Good,~ he thought ~that gives me more than enough time to pick up my phaser.~ Heinrich promptly left the gathered officers and walked down the hall. He remembered he left his phaser in sickbay. But he needed to remember how to get back to sickbay. The hall no longer looked familiar. He was walking past living quarters when he should have been walking past the game room. 

~I think I’m going the wrong way.~ He turned around. Passed by the officers still gathered and found the turbolift. “Deck 4… wait no deck 7… yeah deck 7” He told the computer. When the door opened he knew exactly where he was. He walked down the hall and entered sickbay. Found his little office nook and picked up the phaser he left. Now he just needed to find his way back.

He walked back to the Turbolift. ~Now what floor was I on…~ “Uh… deck 8.” When the door opened he did not recognize anything. But he didn’t think much of it because he didn’t expect to. He saw a sign on the wall pointing left to the transporter rooms. He didn’t see any of the officers in the hall, but again didn’t expect to. But when he walked into the transporter room there was no one around. ~Drat, I must be on the wrong floor.~ He checked his watch. 0048. ~I still have some time.~ He walked briskly out of the transporter room and down the hall. He moved as fast as he could without breaking into a sprint. ~First mission and I can’t even find the right room.~

He made his way back to the turbolift. Since no one was around he said, “Computer, take me to the deck with the holodecks.” The turbolift began to move, and when the door opened he recognized the floor. Greatly relieved he ran down the hall until he saw a sign “Transporter room 2.”

He entered the transporter room just as Lt. Cmdr. Merek was making the final adjustments. “Positions please, transport in two minutes.” Keira announced.

“I made it! I made it!” Heinrich called out. “Sorry about that, got a little lost.” He hurried up to one of the pads and waited.

“Energizing” Heinrich began to dematerialize.
