Mike was quite used to the 'Bag drag Lifestyle". The years of travel as a Fleet Marine had exposed him to many Bad and good trips. So far this one had been quite pleasant. The bunk in his quarters was comfortable and fit his huge frame. Plenty of food and people to watch on the decks of the fleet transport. His hair grown out and beard would hide his identity, civilian clothes cloaked him well too.

Chief Master Sergeant Stoneman passed through the Station terminal with large strides. His assignment here at Templar Station was quite a shock to him as he was selected for a position in Feet Security. A Personnel Security Officer for Vice Admiral Laird. And as he wasn't really asked if he wanted the job, he thought it may be a good career move. being on a new Station was always a good spot after Being in the field for so long. And he would have his own Quarters on the Flag Deck instead of a small bunk in a smelly Marine Barracks.

Stoneman travelled light for a giant and swiftly through the Federation Customs area. His 'Pre approved' deck assignment told Customs and security all they needed to know really. Getting his bearings and feeling ok with Station Gravity Mike continued to the well guarded Flag Deck of the Station. He was to meet with Captain Stacy Acai when he arrived, however he received a message from the staff officer as soon as he left Customs. The message from the Captain Stating they would meet at Stoneman's new quarters. And after a few moments and a few security checkpoints later he came to a open cabin door. He nodded at the unit number and stepped inside.

"A uniformed Starfleet Captain adorned in a staff braided Red Uniform turned as he entered. "Ah, Sergeant Stoneman!. I hope your journey was uneventful." Stoneman looked down at the woman and rendered a Salute. "Sergeant Stoneman reporting as ordered from Starbase Seven Eighteen Ma'am" The Captain returned his salute... "Well what do you think? Plenty of room here for you. This will be your perminate Quarters while on station. Your clearance has been updated and I will mention it's very impressive." Stoneman nodded and dropped his travel bag in a large chair in the large common area. He knew immediately someone had done some homework on him as the chairs he could see were three times the size of normal chairs. The quarters had large windows and three rooms. A Hygiene area, Sleeping area and a large common room. It was always better on the Flag Deck.

"As admiral Laird's personal security Officer your duty schedule is a mess. it's similar to mine. You have been briefed on your duties and security protocols. The Admirals Quarters are at the end of the passageway double doors and Marine Guards certainly give the location away." The Captain walked to the door. " At the other end of the passageway and down the long hallway you will find the Flag Dining Facility which is always open. This deck is very large and at times the Staff never leave it. But it has everything you need really. Good luck on your assignment. The Admiral will meet with you at second shift. " and with that she was out the door.

It didn't take Mike long to settle in and wandered down toward the Flag Dining hall for a gourmet prepared meal. His first in many years with the fleet. There was several facilities on this deck and many offices and rooms. He knew that the Tenth Fleet Command was also here on this deck, which could house several Hundred staff. The benefits of a station to be sure. he was assigned to Laird's staff but there would be other security people out here as well. What little of his gear was stowed away he relaxed after a large meal and soon fast asleep.
