Inside the large and yet small Battlecruiser, a tall man was walking down a seemingly wide and long hallway. His footsteps were silenced by the red rug leading up to a door. He was wearing what appears to be a Liberty Navy blue uniform with a Lieutenant's insignia. Digital screens lined the hallway, showing the Battlecruiser's previous battles, leading up to a door that is guarded by a single statue who looked like a Marine. As the Lieutenant was nearing the doorway, the statue suddenly threw the XO a firm salute.
"Jesus, you almost scared me there, Barnes.", said the Lieutenant as he shakily rendered Barnes' salute.
The Marine didn't respond. He only returned to his normal position. Before the Lieutenant stepped on the scanner, he looked at rectangular bronze plate that hung on the door. It showed, "James Madison." He then went to the scanner which identified him as... well.... him. The door slides smoothy and James steps into what seemed to be a bedroom. It was quite small for Lieutenant but James knew he hated large places, much like the large dining room of the ship. There was a holopad waiting on his bed. It was from the Captain.
A hologram of the Captain appears, "James, take care of Douglas will you. I'm a bit busy raiding the Kanzler's backyard. Report any-"
James shuts down the holopad even before the Captain can finish. He already seemed aware that the Captain was filled with numerous duties as an Ensign in the Primary Fleet. He lied down on the bed tired. Dead tired. A couple of errands were just finished. It seems a few Marines decided to go to the bar and get drunk without permission. They were punished without the Captain's knowledge. James knew the Captain dislikes people keeping secrets from him but he did it anyways. He picked up his datapad and wrote today's event.

Greetings there Captain,
I finished your report for you. No thanks necessary. I know your eager to report your everyday battles.
Oh and while on the Douglas around Norfolk, I encountered a Gallic Merchant. He seemed eager to check out our ship. Those Frenchmen.... Anyways I also scanned that ship of his but the scanners had a malfunction. It may take awhile before we can read those files. Anyways happy hunting, Sir!

He closed the datapad and went to look out the window. There he could see the New York Sun bearing its light unto the windows. A few civilian ships were passing by as well as Liberty Navy ships. It seemed as New York was busy today. He sighed and then exited the bedroom.
