Ranulf had been in space a few days, eating field rations so the site of the Luna class on his sensors was a welcome sight. That would be his new home. The younger Lieutenant had been assigned to the flight department. He had mixed feelings about the transfer. Having spent his first five years on an Anubis class patrol destroyer. It had been a combat heavy tour as the Breen were against the Federation expanding in territory they considered theirs. He had expected moving into the senior spot but the Captain had other thoughts. As good a pilot as Ranulf had proven to be in hazardous conditions and combat the Captain had called him in as his five year tour was coming to an end. The Captain had explained the combat and hazardous conditions would look goo on his file. If he wanted to be moved to a larger ship though he would need to prove he was reliable during normal flight conditions. The transfer to the explorer/survey Luna class would prove his stability. The Captain had admitted he thought Ranulf was becoming a risk-taker-junkie. At the time Ranulf had felt hurt but with time he had seen the sound reasoning and the career prospects this new assignment might open up.
He had been dropped off at a starbase where his replacement had been taken on. He had been given a lift across space to his new assignment. As he waited at the starbase he was given an option to fly this type-9 shuttle out to meet his new ship. They were going to bypass stopping at the starbase for some undisclosed reason. Ranulf had readily agreed. So he had plotted the course to rendezvous and the last day been in regular contact with the ship. As it grew in his viewscreen he had to admit he liked the lines and the size of the ship. It was a bit larger than his last ship for sure. The crew was also larger so that would make life a bit more interesting. The next half hour was busy as he was in regular contact as he flew into the shuttle bay and set down. Following the deck boss's instruction he parked the shuttle right in the open bay where it was assigned.
The 6'2" very athletic 200 pound human stepped from the shuttle onto the Luna's flight deck for the first time, stretching to his full height felt good after a few days in the shuttle. He looked around as he took a PADD from is cargo leg pocket. Turning it on he requested directions to the Operations Chief's office so he could sign in. His polite and soft spoken way he greeted all he he passed as he started toward the turbolift.
