Giving the Tour [for losthunter]

[boldygoing]

It has been a week or two since the Enterprise was in any kind of condition to entertain visitors. A supply run here, a survey mission there, nothing close to casual enough for Captain Kirk to justify setting aside a little time to have a guest aboard, his days taken up by the duties of command. And certainly not out in the middle of deep space, where an unexpected visitor would be more likely to be seen as a stowaway or intruder, no matter if the captain vouched for them or not.

But it has been six months since the crew's last chance for shore leave, so after the debriefings are complete, Starfleet Command gives the slightly weary crew a brief three days off while the ship's systems are inspected and recalibrated. And it's a perfect opportunity to make good on his offer from a while ago.

Jim sits at a shuttle terminal in downtown San Francisco, a gold-shirt in a small sea of red and blue, all Starfleet personnel waiting to be taken up to various starships in orbit or in Spacedock. He knows it might be a few minutes before Hunter arrives, and keeps himself busy reviewing reports on a padd, keeping an eye out for the distinctive tattoos of his invited guest.

Hunter was pretty excited about today. He spent more time than usual picking out an outfit. It was a little bit of him worrying about if some of his clothes would fit into a future-verse, and a lot of him just wanting to look good for Jim. In the end, he went with a black T-shirt, a plaid overshirt, and gray pants.

His PINpoint address delivered him to a quiet corner of the shuttle terminal, where he could easily blend into the crowd after arrival.

He notes the red and blue Starfleet shirts. And comes to the conclusion that they must mean rank in some fashion. And he is a little awestruck by the various shuttles that are waiting to take people up in orbit.

It would be very easy to get lost. But Hunter keeps his eyes open for Jim, mindful that he had worn a gold outfit the first time they met. And hopefully it stands out.
