==[ORIGINS] USS HOOD: Making the Pact== | |||
by [[Mansur_Brian|Mansur, Brian]] | |||
<PRE> | |||
Scene: Officers' Quarters, E Deck, USS HOOD | |||
SD 2260.120 | |||
Merrick listened carefully to Steele. Something was coming. | |||
"The loss of the captain and the others so soon after this ship was comissioned | |||
was a kick in the guts to not only morale but to our confidence." Steele look | |||
grave. "I need to rebuild that and do it as a new captain and with new | |||
officers. I can’t do it alone Sean. I’m going to need your help.†| |||
"You’ve got it, you know that.†| |||
“I do know that. That’s why I told Admiral Palmer you were my only choice | |||
for First Officer. Will you help me?†| |||
And there it was. Just like that. | |||
"I've got your back Captain," Merrick earnestly nodded. "Where you want to | |||
start?" | |||
Steele smiled with a wink. "With this toast." They stood. "To the Mighty | |||
HOOD! May her heroes never bleed in vain." | |||

Later outside the Captain's quarters, Merrick wasn't sure how to feel. Their | |||
chat had been encouraging and they had a lot of exciting work ahead of them. | |||
But then how many times had he busted his ass for a dream and achieved it only | |||
to bitterly regret it later? The last time he'd let himself be euphoric about | |||
anything was when he'd proposed to Jeri. And look where that had taken him. | |||
Respectfully Submitted, | |||
