John Adams arrival

John was running down the hallways of Starbase 10, PADD in tow. He knew he was already a bit late, but the announcement for the meeting didnt give him enough time to finish a critical duty.

"I hope the Captain doesnt get too upset" john thought to himself as he accessed the door to where the meeting was being held. The doors *swooshed* open and there sat many officers already in the midst of conversation. John quickly and quietly moved towards the USS LOTUS crew siting arrangement and sat in the chair designated for it's Chief Engineer. He sat his PADD down, adjusted his uniform and a few of the tools in his pockets hoping no one would take offense to his tardiness.

"Finally...a REAL starship mission instead of border patrol." John thought to himself while he listened to the discussions going on.
