Andy walked into his quarters and set his bag down, it was adequate, small, but more room than he actually needed. Bout the size of a small bachelors apartment. He didn't really have use for it other than sleeping and eating. But then again, the lounge offered plenty of food.

"So this is where you will be staying." Paul spoke out as he looked around the quarters. "The bed is kinda small. Can't really bring home anyone with that size of bed."

Sighing. "I am not focused on relationships Paul, nor just sleeping around." Andy replied as he walked and stared into the mirror that was by the small sink in the bathroom.

"Then why come out here to explore the great mostly known, but some unknown if it wasn't to sleep with as many different species as possible." Paul replied as he walked away from the mirror.

"To continue the family tradition of Starfleet obviously. A sense of duty, Honour, and to do something he loves. To make a difference." George replied as they sat down on the chair.

Andy picked up the padd that was on the table. Addressed to him. It was from the boss. His shift schedule, even though they were in for relaxation, there was still shifts to do. That he was hoping for, being his first posting, he was hoping to be able to get to work.

"So when do we start shooting things?" Matthew replied as they looked over the padd.

Andy rolled his eyes, "Just because Im assigned to the Armoury doesn't mean I get to shoot the..." He paused when he thought about it, sure he was there to calibrate the weapons, and after calibration. "Well maybe after I get started and familiar and able to calibrate those weapons needing to be recalibrate."

"So when does the first shift start?" Matthew inquired as they finally opened it up. "Fifteen minutes."

Andy sat up, looked at his clothes. He was still wearing his civilian clothes.

"Way to start your first shift Andrew," George stated as they walked over to their bag. "Didn't I tell you to always wear the uniform incase you were running short on time."

"Shut up george," Andrew replied as he started undressing.

"Maybe you will work with come cute security chick, and maybe she will bring you home to..."

"Hey... it could be a dude too." Charlie replied "Dont limit your possibilities."

Andy finished getting dressed in his uniform, checked the mirror one more time, made sure his hair was not over his ear.

"You look perfect, any dude will be crazy not to find you cute." Charlie stated as he gave a smile.

Andy only rolled his eyes. "That is not appropriate Charlie and you know it."

"Well fine, I guess chicks will find you cute as well." Charlie pouted and walked away from the mirror.

"Who needs to be cute." Paul said, "If he listens to what i tell him to say, then he will get any girl he wants."

"Stop it." Andy replied as he started towards the door. "Remember my deal, when we are alone you can show yourselves anytime you want. I am walking out the door, so this is when you guys shut the hell up. Paul, Charlie, you two are the reasons why I have never started anything with anyone whether it be one way or the other. Or both for that matter."

"Shutting up." Everyone said in unison.

"Good." Andy replied as he looked at the empty room, "Not bad if I do say so myself." He opened up the door and left for his first shift.
