The USS Leeds arrived at Alamo Station this afternoon. We have begun transferring over our new Marine platoon, and have worked out a few last-minute crew transfers as well. Both the Enterprise and the Leeds will remain at our present coordinates through the end of the week.
In a related turn of events, I am pleasantly surprised to find that one of my old Starfleet friends, Lieutenant Commander Benjamin Sisko, is the chief engineer of the USS Leeds. I served with him for a year aboard the USS Excalibur, before he was reassigned to the USS Okinawa and the front lines of the Tzenkethi War. Lieutenant Commander Sisko’s wife, Jennifer, and their 9-year-old son, Jake, are both living aboard the Leeds. The Siskos have invited me to dinner tomorrow. I’m looking forward to the opportunity. It’s always a thrill running into old fleet friends. You never know when, or where, one might turn up!
