Just An Ensign

Mazzra has only one more exam to pass to finish off her training course, It has taken her 6 months in Earth years to get this far and still she doesn't know how to calculate days while travelling through space.

While Mazzra wasn't in her training hours she spent her time with Laura to find out that she is the only child and her mother brought her up by herself before a fire took her mothers life, and explained why she decided to join was for the new work but more to get far away from bad memories what linger on Earth.

The other times Mazzra would find herself laying on top of her bedsheets playing with the necklace her mother gave her the night before she left, with memories of them passing through her mind till she either falls asleep or Laura comes through the Com-Link.

'That reminds me' Mazzra says getting up and heading to her personal laptop the Empire has given to all new Ensigns in training, ''Remember when you leave your Traning Ships to take your personal belonging and the technology given to you' Mrs. Kurz voice comes through her mind while Mazzra logs in and starts a video message back to her family.

As the front-facing camera shows her face Mazzra clicks onto the record button, ''Hi Mum, Hi Dad, and Hi brother, I am doing fine I know it's been a long while since hearing me and no I haven't forgotten the last message you sent. I have one last test to pass and then I am ready to move to my permanent station on the Adjudicator.'' Mazzra stops as the necklace dangles out on the uniform, ''I hope you are all ding well and please give my love to my friends I do miss you all so very much, but still I am staying to make our life a better one I promise. I cannot wait to hear from you soon. Love you bye'' Mazzra says and stops the recording, forwarding it to her mother's email she types ''Popping visit XOXO'' and clicks send.

^^All Ensigns to the Bridge, All Ensigns to the Bridge^^

The Telecom booms out making Mazzra jump and tuck her necklace away.

Quick walking to the Bridge she hears everyone questioning and panicking with a few thinking we are under attack. Quickly Mazzra made it and quickly lines up facing the back of Mrs. Kurz with her arms tightly knotted behind her. ''Well done ensigns you passed the test'' Mrs. Kurz says as she turns around to her workforce, her face seemed to untie itself and a smile showing for thr first time shocked all the ensigns. ''Come, come grab some drinks and food'' Mrs. Kurz laughs and picks a glass for herself. ''Is this something we need to be worried about?'' Laura asks Mazzra, ''I don't know'' Mazzra replies as she grabs a sandwich, looking up she suddenly sees a familiar style Star Destroyer heading our way, ''Look'' Mazzra says as all the Ensigns stop and look out the window.

''Ah, the guys are coming to say hello, Don't worry they are in training too, we thought with permission to meet up and share our progress together'' Mrs. Kurz says as she hurries to press a button to hear a male voice come through. ''Ladies into positions'' Mrs. Kurz says as they all hurry to line up and what looks like to Mazzra all the ship is lined up with Stormtroopers lined up everywhere.

Suddenly fast footsteps come in and an Admiral appears with his training Ensigns right behind him with a few Stormtroopers falling behind, ''Ah Mrs. Kurz so great to see you and excitedly wanting to know who your workforce have progressed'' A low voice says while shaking a smiling Mrs. Kurz's hand. ''Same to you Broodge'' Mrs. Kurz replies and leads him towards us.

^^Time Skip^^

After the introductions and greeting the other ensign Mazzra got to relax finally and grab up another pinkish coloured drink that tasted divine trying to ignore the men in the room, oh god the smell roamed through her entire body to be then nudged by Laura ''Been a long time since we've seen the opposite sex'' Laura says while winking ''yeah 6 months of men free'' Mazzra replies laughing to then be nudges again, 'who now' Mazzra says while turning around to be faced with a taller Stormtrooper with his gun in hand. Looking quizzingly Mazzra stares into the mask. ''You haven't forgotten me have you?'' A comlink male voice comes through the mask, shocked Mazzra places her drink on the table behind her and launches herself at the Stormtrooper ''Jake is it really you?'' Mazzra asks clinging onto his suit while his free hand holds onto you, ''It is'' Jake replies. As Mazzra lets go Jake removes his helmet, ''By you haven't even changed one bit'' Mazzra says seeing him chuckle ''Nor you but it is only been 6 months in your Earth time'' Jake replies while nudging her shoulder.

After a few minutes to compose themselves Mazzra turns to see Laura watching with a look of confusion. ''Jake this is Laura, Laura this is Jake'' Mazzra introduces. ''Hi'' Laura says while taking the hand of the Stormtrooper, ''Nice to meet you Ma'am'' Jake replies as Mazzra smiles with disbelief. ''I thought you would be in the front line?'' Mazzra asks Jake as he grabs himself something to eat, ''I was till Mr. Broodge asked me if I wanted to join him to help train the men'' Jake replies ''How could I not say no'' Jake then says as takes a bite into the food in his hand.

''I believe you have one test to pass'' Jake says while taking a seat near the exit, ''I do and I think I'll pass'' Mazzra says confidently, ''do you know where you will be stationed?'' Jake asks looking into her eyes, ''I believe The Adjucticator'' Mazzra replies and sees Jake tense up ''what is the matter?'' Mazzra asks while grabbing onto his arm, ''You will be working next to Mr. Kronn he is very strict'' Jake replies still looking into Mazzra's eyes sternly ''I can cope'' she replies to only see Jake narrow his eyes ''he also in line with Lord Vader, if you make one mistake even a little one your job is done Mr Kronn does not like mistakes just like Lord Vader.'' Jake then says making Mazzra gulp, ''And if you ask we do the sacked go, we don't know the rumour is they get sent to Lord Vader himself and to never be seen again'' this made Mazzra chuckle ''You make it sound like a horror movie'' Mazzra says to then be grabbed and pulled closer ''I am not joking, I pray you will be alright'' Jake replies. As Jake holds onto Mazzra, Mazzra sees worry in his eyes, ''Ok I'll make sure I wont fail him'' Mazzra replies to then feel Jake let go.

That night Mazzra lays in her bed in darkness rethinking every word Jake has told her, clutching onto her quilt she tries to sleep as she feels her nerves are shook.

'I'll be alright'' she says to herself as she drifts off to sleep.
