J'Tagh got woken up by her computer beeping loudly. 'Damn it th hell....why can't they let me sleep?', she said to herself. She figured that some one was calling her for an engineering job before she transfered to the USS Shanghai. Getting up, she promptly fell over her boots and ended up on the floor of her quarters. 'Augusfratt!', she mumbled. 'Ok ok.....I'm coming you infernal blasted piece of junk', growling. Opening up the computer there was a message from Starfleet Command. J'Tagh stared at it, her eyes getting wider as she read further. 'Have they gone mad?', she shouted outloud.

Just then her door chime rang. 'Now who in the hell....my god its 0320 in the morning!', she hollered. "Enter if you dare!", she growled. Now between the message from Starfleet and her door chime going off, well you can guess how furious she was.

The young ensign stood just outside of the open door, " Sorry sir....but...um...your shuttle is ready to take you to the Saigon...sir", she said timidly. "The WHAT?!?!", Sandy bellowed. The ensign repeated her self, " Your shuttle is ready to take you to the USS Saigon", she said again. You can't imagine the look on the ensign's face. When J'Tagh is pissed, all you want to do is run like hell. However, her empathic sense told her the poor girl was terrified so she calmed down. "Thank you Ensign. I will be there shortly", she responded more calmly. The ensign quickly fled from her doors and J'Tagh sat back down and read the orders again.

Aparrently Starfleet had decided that since she refused to take the rank of captain, and her years of experience, they took her out of engineering and made her First Officer on the USS Saigon. She couldn't understand the wisdom behind that but, who was she to argue with Starfleet?

Finishing her packing, she had her things transported to the shuttle and she made her way to the shuttle. This was going to be a long tiresome and boring trip to the Saigon. She said her goodbyes to her friends and took her seat. "Let's get the hell out of here ", she said to the pilot who nodded and off they went.
