Stardate: 2446.03.25

(USS Illuminar - Deck 4 - Montero's quarters - 0123)

Vic had stayed too late at the event, reliving battles with old friends 
and new.  He was surprised that Viper showed up.  Noone used rank at a 
drinkfest like that.  Sure he took ribbing for being a tea-totter, but 
it remained true to his pledge.  He was sure to make sure there were no 
diplomats nearby to ruin his calm.

Some words of wisdom from Viper and a few others from his class boosted 
him up.  There were already copies of the Illuminar vs Bravo making the 
rounds.  There was an engineering inquiry well underway to get to the 
bottom of the Mako failure.  He was sure to have to testify at some point.

He undressed , throwing his uniform to the laundry and went to take a 
shower.  He needed to get a good night sleep and prepare for the doubles 
that he would have to pull.  While he was under administrative 
punishment, he was able to get out of it today due to the medical and 
senior officer meeting.  Coming out of the shower, the com rang.  =^=You 
back Vic,=^= came Bebe's voice =^=Log says your home.  We got to talk.=^=

Vic sat down and turned on the viewer, "Now?"

=^= Yea, might be best =^=

"OK, I will be decent in 10 minutes.  Where?" he asked.

=^= How about the pilots ready room =^=

"Be there in 10."

The viewer disconnected.

Vic entered the ready room to see Bebe waiting.  "Hi Gunsmoke," he said.

"Back at you Raid."

"So what is this all about."

"I'm putting in for a transfer. With you on the helm and loving your 
solo fighter life, its time for me to move on.  I'd appreciate a pilot 
checkout flight from you tomorrow or the day after."

Vic nodded.  He knew that they had not been flying much together, "Of 
course.  How about 2446.03.26.  I'll file the paperwork and clear it 
with the Lieutenant.  You deserve a command chair Gunsmoke.  You've 
learned all I can teach you."

She smiled, "Thanks Raid. Keep flying and check six"

The two hugged.  "You'll do fine  I'll send you details."

With that, they departed, Vic to dreamlands.
