Post by 1st Lt. Kelsey "Kelso" Siddles on Aug 14, 2006 1:43:52 GMT -5
Kelsey looked around her newly-rather hastily- decorated quarters. Her family picture sitting on her desk with a clutter of paper and paper weights. Her bed holding four big fluffy white pillows, and a stuffed raggedy old dog, one eye missing, and the velvet of his tongue almost all gone. She had placed her big HBC blanket on the end of her bed and scattered a few more nicknacks around the room.
Kelsey figured if this was going to be her home, she might as well have it comfortable. There was something missing however. Standing for a moment she figured it out! Dropping to the floor, Kelsey pulled at her duffel bag and pulled out a pair of socks. Placing one on the floor she smiled.
"Perfect!" she grinned happily.
It wasn't like Kelsey was a mess, she just liked things to be homey and non-sterile and not looking like you didn't live in it. That wasn't home at all.
Looking around she opened her closet door, hung up her dress uniform and ploped her bag on the floor, removing her pajamas from the bag she tossed them to her bed and smiled proudly.
"Damn it!" she cursed. "I left my slippers at home!"
Grumbling Kelsey sat on her bed with her laptop and the unclassified mission reports that Weir had allowed her to review.
She figured she should get a head start on what to expect if she was going to be working with marines.
The one she knew she was going to be working with, she had worked with before; he had christened her Kelso, as she was one of the guys. Spent her off nights with the boys kicking their butts at poker.
Those were the days, maybe, if Weir A) approved or B) never found out, she could get together a poker night with some of the guys here.
There, she had to do some planning to do!
Well, besides going and getting to know people and establishing some relationships (romantic or otherwise) were in the priority list.
Right! Make a list! Quickly bringing up a typing program Kelsey started to type.
Kelsey's List Of What To Do!
1. Earn respect!
2. Create Poker Group
3. At Poker Nights, Make Friends
4. Send letter home to have slippers mailed to me.
5. Wait for slippers
6. Plot Revenge (Eddy's prank a while back)
Reading her list, Kelsey smiled. Maybe she should wait before she striked revenge on Eddy.
Afterall, both of them were here for a reason. They were two of the best combat marines. Though coming to Atlantis, Kelsey had to give up being part of a combat team, and agree to be part of a science team. Use her brain instead of strength.
Her brain! She had to start reading again, catching herself up on the scientific discoveries and such. Maybe she could walk around the city and find the science labs and read some of their research.
Deciding that it was too late to do anything, Kelsey plain decided to lay in her bed and read some. Sliding under the blanket Kelsey placed the computer on the side table before she started to read the mission reports.
Welcome to your new life Kelsey.
