I climb the rest of the way up on my bunk, wedging myself in the corner so I can lean back and stop putting all my effort into sitting up straight. "Last ship tour before my planetside assignment," I repeat. "I'll have a mix of duties around the ship until they find somewhere to place me for the next year or so. If I'm lucky I'll get something quick and easy, but..."
I've already got a good feeling I know where I'm going to end up, and it's not going to be quick and easy. They're not going to waste me on something too risky, and chance losing me before I'm at my full potential. "Well, it probably won't be." I give Joe a semi-confident grin and try to turn the conversation back around a bit. "So, what got you into the military? Standard pack-up-and-make-a-name-for-yourself story? Or something a bit more unique?"
