[ON]

Up at the crack of dawn! Finding himself back to doing things that were not exactly his job, the Master Chief exhaled, shaking his head. There were some repairs that needed to be completed before they started out into this with full spirits. Thus, once again, it became his job to work on it. Furthermore, none of the enlisted men or lower ranking officers was available on the daily duty roster. Instead, he would simply have to do all of this work out on his own.

To think that he would still have to be working on the crafts of others….it was an estrangement. They had more than the compliment that they needed to work out all major tasks with the appropriate consignments. However, he thought to himself, he should have known. By accepting the generic, command level position that he did, he should have known that this sort of thing would happen, and happen quite frequently.

The burden of an unspecified position was quite obviously, he thought to himself, though he would never publicly complain. That was not only rude, but it was also quite offensive to those that allowed him to have this position. Reminding himself that the choice of a life in Starfleet was a choice for a life of service, he nodded to himself, returning to his knees, as the vessel needed his care, he thought.

It was to her that he pledged his life, and unto her that he existed for this life of service. Forever would he be bound.

It was time to start enjoying it.
