[sb118-arrow] Ensign Ezra Zerva - Fuzzy thoughts.
BC Cooper
Ensign Ezra Zerva took one last look around his quarters aboard the Arrow. It had only been a short amount of time. He didn’t have the chance to unpack when he arrived. Ezra had been thrusted into his first away mission without so much as a barely a hello to the Captain. He had meet his commanding officer, Lieutenant Zenno and was please to have met the other members of the security team aboard the Arrow. This included crewman trouble maker Astrid. Even if she called him a fireman’s pet, without so much as saying it, but implying it by her question. His mind went back to the away mission, how it lead them from the caverns to sickbay. Ezra had been convinced Lieutenant Ohnari had lost her leg. It turned out to be a prank by Lieutenant Hobart. One that Ezra had fallen into believing it had happened. Was he that gullible?
Space germs. The reason the entire ship was departing for the Starbase.
oO I hope we didn’t bring them back with us from the Emisan planet. Oo
Ezra shook his head. He felt better knowing the fact that Lieutenant Zenno would make sure that the Arrow was secure. That was one task Ezra was sure he was happy not to have on his shoulders.
Ezra turned his attention back to the moment. His things were packed. There wasn’t much to pack, as he didn’t have a lot of things he had brought with him. It seemed liked he just unpacked his things and now he was being told to pack up, yet again. ::sigh:: the life of a Starfleet Officer.
Something was missing. He couldn’t quite figure it out. He had his Holodeck program he had brought with him from earth. His Gi, blue belt and all his martial arts books and awards were packed away including his Starfleet uniforms. He looked down at the last thing to go into his pack. His training uniform.
He had just gone on a run with Commander Waters and her lovely Golden Retriever Mandy before the call came to leave the ship. Mandy had been nice enough to let Ezra give her belly rubs. He smiled at the thought.
Then Ezra’s mind wandered. Mandy. Roley. Biggs. Qua’Kith, Spot. Gracey. Bones. Akbar. Tiger. Moonbeam. Bal-Nader-Veer. Star. Flex. Vul’ner. Mr. Biggels. Lady. Hazel. Tiberius. Terel. Gerbit. Teddy. Leer. Skeets. Jammy. Geko. Racer. Gracie. Moose. Junior. Tuvix. Zeus I & Zeus II. Fluffy Buttons. Bob. One by one all the names of animals he had volunteered to help at the animal shelter when he was young came back to him all at once. There were so many and he couldn’t recall all of them, but Ezra knew in that instance what was missing. It came back and bit him in the heart. Ezra has been so focused on his martial arts and Starfleet training that he had little time to think about anything else.
Now here on the Arrow alone in his quarters Ezra decided it was time. No mother to tell him no, Ezra excited his room with his things and headed directly to the nearest transporter room. He stepped on the pad and a smile crossed his lips as his body disappeared.
