Mission: Funzone
Location: Starbase 11
Timeline: One Day Prior to Mission Start

Lieutenant Tre Boid and Senior Chief Petty Officer Cory Pomerantz stepped off of the shuttle that had ferried them to the Starbase docking port. Tre was carrying a small duffle, as was Cory, though Tre was looking at Cory instead of where he was going. "Cory, we were off duty, you aren't even in uniform, you did not have to spend the entire shuttle ride lecturing the poor soul about a wrinkled uniform."

"It was not about his uniform, it was about his entire demeanor and appearance in uniform. I wasn't in uniform, but he was. The Petty Officer ought to be glad he's not in my section, I'd have him on report for a month. He's a Non-Commissioned Officer, and as such he should be an example to everyone. He should follow the uniform regulations inside out and upside down." Cory replied as they walked through the airlock.

"I'm just saying, relax. He's just a kid. You were a kid once." Tre said soothingly, though he could read his Imzadi's mind. Cory was very much by the book regulation, something that set the two apart more than anything. Tre was much more likely to let something like that go, since appearance wasn't as important in his mind. But for Cory, the uniform and the actions behind the uniform were everything. Starfleet to the very bone.

Cory grunted as they walked in lock step. "He's a Petty Officer, that means he's old enough to know better. You know half of my career was spent checking personnel to make sure they're in regulation." The Security Investigator responded, shaking a head of dark trimmed hair.

"Alright, alright. Now let's find this Arizona, settle in, and at least let you harass people who are actually in the crew's compliment. Given what it sounds like, though, they went through a major personnel reshuffle."

"Heard it was an accident, CO's up on charges for gross negligence and willful disregard for lives." Cory replied, as they found their way around the station.

"Lovely. Loss of life, trauma, back to the old routine. I'm already missing simple neuroses." Tre replied glibly with a slight smirk. He was shot a glance by Cory, but kept up with his enlisted partner.
