ON: (Starbase 10)

Aurther stood in the main observation lounge in the Starbase. He scanned the interior, and gazed at all of the ships that were just sitting and hovering, and those that were heading in and out of the main doors. As two Akira classes departed and headed out of the large doors Winters let out a small smile and laugh. The dream he thought, the dream. The time he was station on the Nebula class Starship that he was previously stationed on was primarily assigned science mission, the occasional first contact as well as second contacts. It was just so repetitive, and he wished for more excitement, and laughed that he had remembered his days on the Chuck Norris to begin with, and now he was back. His eyes scanned and finally spotted the small ship on the other side of the inner bay. From what he could gaze from the distance he was, it looked like all the work that needed to be done to the exterior of the ship was complete. Without any large umbilical cords still attached to the ship he had to assume that all the supplies had been loaded, and or offloaded. Just a single dock meant that it was just personnel that was coming and going.
He looked around and found what he assumed would be the most comfortable seat and gently rested himself in the chair. Crossing his legs, his eyes scanned down to the PADD in his hand. He searched through any of the recent news, and nothing was that interesting. He did see a trailer about the ChucK Norris's last mission and it made him scoff. Swiping it away, and then checking through any messages that were sent to him, he found that section empty. He had not heard from his brother in a few weeks, and while there was never any reason to worry about him, thoughts always went through his mind.
Aurther noted that his leg was twitching slightly, almost like it had restless leg syndrome. He was just getting a little stir crazy. The days on the station were nice, but he would rather be out in the stars. He stood up and headed back to the ship, maybe just to wait for orders to come in.
