Carrier Esquimalt re-commission

[Goatman]

The officers lounge is the private bar of the main fleet on Juneau Shipyard. The ambience, while not being quite like a club on Manhattan, is a relax one. Pilots and officers from the main fleet gather there mostly to take a drink after missions or during their day off. The clients are mostly 5th fleet members that use the lounge to release pressure, celebrate life and death. They also use the facility as informal debriefing room after missions.

Watson looking throught the porthole in Juneau officers lounge and raise an eyebrow in disbelieve. Before his eyes stand a brand new Atlantis Class Carrier. He been only few days since he got promoted as Rear Admiral and he already get his hands on such ship. Some people would sell their own mother to acheieve this feat. Adam close his eyes and the noise around him seem to dissapear. *He's getting lost in his memories. *

"She's pretty impressive isn't Admiral?" softly say Commander Young.

*Watson keep on looking at the ship and smile.* "Indeed! Indeed! But i'm not quite sure i'm ready for her." *Shy laugh* Watson then turn around and look at the Commander Madison Young. "So you wanted to fly with us that bad Commander?"

Madison start clumsy babbling "Admi..Sir.... Yes Sir" *blush*. She try to regain composure after she realize that she acted worst than a teenage girl. "Sir! It's going to be a honor to serve under your command on Biggy...errr i mean the Esquimalt!"

*Watson raise an eyebrow and laugh* "Biggy heh? Guess it's the name you gave her right?"

"Yes Sir! I'm sorry and i'll get acquainted with her new name." She starting to stress out a bit and look around the lounge trying to see another familiar face that could join the conversation.

"It's fine with me if you wanna keep caller her Biggy Commander. After reading the complete report i'm pretty sure you concider her like your own child." *Watson take another look throught the porthole and smille*

Madison was almost holding her breath expecting the Admiral to laugh at her. *laugh*

"You're right Admiral. She's like a daughter to me and the only family i might ever have" *she shrug in despair*

Adam turn back to Young looking dead serious and look at her right in her eyes.

"You got a family Commander. Maybe not the best but you got the navy. We taking care of each other" Watson obviously trying to gauge his new second in command and Maddy try to avoid getting into this game.

*She wink then smile*

"You're right Admiral and i'm proud of our disfonctional family and since we're here, are we going to get a drink to celebrate this moment?" *both laugh*


Watson and Young sit at a table and order a drink before others join the celebrations.
