Hoshi's Quarters, San Francisco, Saturday night

Hoshi had grand plans for celebrating the end of her combat training rotation. She had planned on hitting the 602 Club with a few other junior officers. Instead, she was lying on her couch, too exhausted to even stagger to her bedroom. And she wasn't even completely finished like most of the other ensigns. She had passed out from dehydration and missed out on the weapons test, which meant she would have to put up with that damned Lieutenant Reed for another day.
