The Move To Something More Permanent

***The Next Day***

With a pounding and feeling sick from a hangover hanging over every Ensign's bodies, the permanent work they are destined to be is waiting outside with papers getting prepared ready to take on their new workforce. The Adjudicator, and the other ships lined next to each other while the carrier crew flies to the training ships to collect new Ensigns.

Laura, Mazzra, Mark, Chloe walk towards the bridge to see Mrs. Kurz talking to Admiral Kronn with a big tablet in her hands. Taking not much they walk past but soon stop as soon as Mrs. Kurz calls their names. ''Ensigns you need to be at the docking bay like the rest your belongings are getting collected as we speak and taken to your work ship. I wish you all the best as this is the last you see of me unless you have to come back for more training.'' Mrs Kurz starts and puts her arms around her two favourite workers Mazzra and Chloe. ''Don't let me down girls I wish hear that you've got promoted one day'' as she removes herself from the ensigns she slaps Mazzra and Chloe on the back, ''Thank you Mrs Kurz'' they all say and make their way to the docking bay but again Mazzra and Laura get pulled closer to the Training Admiral. ''As you two are going to be working on The Adjudicator, It is right to meet the Admiral more personally'' Mrs Kurz says as Laura watched Mark and Chloe quickly disappear around the corner. Holding out his hand Mr Kronn takes hold of Mazzra's hand and roughly shakes it, ''You must be Mazzra Kirman I've heard a lot about you'' Mr Kronn says and quickly looks to Laura, ''and you'' he then says as he removes his hand from Mazzra to laura. Not quite taking it all in Mazzra watches speechless wondering what is going on, quickly looking Mazzra sees Mrs Kurz smiling at her, the look of pride showing on her face like showing off her greatest asset she ever claimed.

**Quick Time Skip***

Entering the Docking bay Mazzra and Laura keep close as finds the line they need to be within thousands already waiting.

''I wonder how long this is going to take?'' Laura asks, ''Might be all day I don't think they want to pace it out and do it day by day'' Mazzra replies while tapping Laura's arm and points to the sign they need to be. ''They are already taking people we better hurry'' Mazzra says as they hurry to the line.

As they make it in line suddenly Admiral Kronn walks past and steps into the aircraft ready to take off. ''Well look at that, that could be one of us one day. Luxury your own travel and they pay must be huge'' Laura begins starting to daydream while taking step by step as the line slowly moves forward.

As one aircraft leaves another enters making Mazzra think and feel it is like animals going for slaughter, quick-paced and no time to think what's happening, but our beings know what's in front. A lifetime of work.

Suddenly the line splits making three rows going into either one of the three aircrafts in the area for The Adjudicator. ''Name'' A stormtrooper suddenly says making Mazzra jump and stare into his mask, ''Mazzra, Mazzra Kirman'' as she replies he jots down and moves to another ensign behind her but before she could look back they were moving and stepping into the aircraft just sitting before it took off.

Looking around she saw most all nervous faces looking down and fiddling with their hands, ''what you all nervous about?'' Laura asks making one look up to her, ''Don't you know the rumours of the ship we are going to be working at?'' One ensign says threateningly as he says that Laura looks at Mazzra with a shrug and soon the ensign starts again. ''That ship is in close contact with Lord Vader, You have heard of Vader haven't you?'' He says making Laura laugh nervously, ''well yes'' she replies as Mazzra keeps quiet. ''Have you heard how powerful he is?'' he says making Laura nod, ''he's a monster one slip up you are dead and what I've heard he chokes you to death by an invisible force. He gives no remorse'' the ensign says to then the one next to him nudges him and tells him to shut up. ''Don't nudge me'' he says and looks back to Laura and quickly looks to Mazzra who nervously listens. ''Even being a woman won't give you a chance what I've heard he hates women the most and that he killed a consort who tried to get close to him as she was Emperor Palpatine's gift.'' He then says making Mazzra shiver. ''But do you know if he actually has visited The Adjudicator?'' Laura replies back looking at Mazzra hoping for backup as all the other ensigns listen in making every conversation more nervous. ''I don't know'' the man says quietly, ''well there we go if you don't know that then maybe the rest of it is false'' Laura replies and feels someone hit her hard on the arm seeing Mazzra give a warning look as the aircraft carrier docks.

As the doors open one by one, they all leave the ship and walk onto the same shiny black floor and line up seeing more experienced ensigns in front of them.

***Kronn POV***

''All new ensigns have just arrived Lord Vader'' I say bowing my head to the holo form in front of me, ''Good, I want by tonight work rotas sorted and all-new ensigns at work we have an important mission starting tomorrow and you are in frontline'' Lord Vaders deep mechanical voice replies back to me. Gulping ''Yes Lord Vader I am on it right away'' I reply as the holo image disappears, as I turn around my second in command officer looks at me waiting for my demand. ''start getting the new ensigns working immediately'' I say as I turn back to look into the black abyss of space.

''Admiral sir'' a voice says as booted footsteps get closer to me, ''where do you want the women to be positioned?'' An ensign says making me turn and look at him ''where ever they are trained to do they be there'' I say sternly as I watch the ensign click his boots and march away.

***Mazzra POV***

Sitting on her new work area I set up and get my headset on but before I place the speakers over my ear I feel a hand on my shoulder quickly taking them off and see who it is I soon see it Admiral Kronn. Quickly standing up I click my new boots and bow. ''No need to do that ensign I just want to ask if you have ever decoded a message before?'' he says making me swallow. ''Yes sir but only a bit'' I reply remembering Mrs Kurz saying never lie to the Admiral. ''Good there is a mission starting tomorrow ordered by Lord Vader and I need more decoders'' Mr Kronn says 'So it is true Vader is in charge of this ship even though not being on it' I say to myself. ''I can practise now if you like sir so to remember and get ready for tomorrows mission,'' I reply seeing Kronn smile ''you can start right away'' he replies and walks away.

Sitting back down I feel eyes staring at me and a feeling of being just like a teachers pet back at school on my home planet.
