He slowly sat in the Captain's chair and looked around the Bridge. Then spoke up.

Cmnr Panettiere: Hail Starbase 34.

Ens Meyers: Aye, Sir.

Meyers did as the Yoeman ordered.

Ens Meyers: Channel open.

Cmnr Panettiere: Starbase 34, this is Infiniti on final approach within the flight path. Requesting clearance to Space Dock.

He waited for them to reply.

SB34: Infiniti, we have you on approach. You're cleared for Space Dock entry. Space Doors will be opening momentarily, transferring you to Dock Traffic Control.

Cmnr Panettiere: Understood. Mr. Delgado, reduce speed.

As Infiniti approached the immense starbase, it's outer doors parted.

SB34: Infiniti, this is Dock Traffic Control. Space Doors are opening, proceed at manuvering thrusters only to your assigned berth.

Cmnr Panettiere: Understood. Mr. Delgado, manuvering thruster please. Take us inside.

The starship gracefully entered the starbase through the enormous doors and followed the lighted path along the floor of the dock.

Cmnr Panettiere: Steady, bring us into the berth...

Infiniti slowly pulled into it's berth inside SB34

Cmnr Panettiere: All stop! Secure all posts and moorings, standby gangways. Dock Traffic Control, we are secured.

SB34: Welcome home Infiniti, Dock Traffic Control out.

He got up from the Captain's chair and smiled. He looked around the Bridge to see the reactions of the officers, and most importantly what the Captain's reaction was.

He looked down at Yeoman Panettiere and smiled very proudly.

Capt Carpathia: You did just great. Right by the book, Yeoman. I couldn't have asked for anything better. I will be sure to mention to Vice Admiral Arayuss just how proficiently versatile you are.

He looked around the Bridge with pride in all of them, then hit the com to address the entire ship.

Capt Carpathia: You've all done one hell of a job on this mission, and truly deserve some shore leave. I'll be making my report and hope to enjoy some myself. Secure your stations, and then you're dismissed. Go have some fun, you've all earned it. Carpathia out.
