<Commander Swanberg, onboard Shuttlecraft Surak>

Upon leaving the Commandant's office, Swanberg swings by his quarters to pack his few possessions.  "It's a good thing that Starfleet teaches its officers how to pack light," he says to himself.

Upon reaching shuttlebay two, Swanberg quickly locates the Surak, as it is the only shuttle being pre-flighted.  With a wave to the ensign who will be his pilot, Swanberg boards the shuttle.

"Sir, the flight will be about two hours, if you want to get some sleep enroute."

"No thanks, Ensign..."

"Richards, sir."

"Ensign Richards, I'll stay up here.  I kind of like to see where I'm going, know what I mean?"

"Yes, sir."

"Tell me Richards, are you just providing shuttle service, or have you been posted to the Lafayette as well?"

"Oh, no sir, I'll just be dropping you off and then returning to the Tac-Ops School.  My next simulation starts tonight."

"Oh well, in that case, good luck, and don't let the Commandant get your goat."
