Captain Nathan James Dixon glanced out of the large viewing port overlooking his new command. He was quite excited to be commanding a new Galaxy MKIV Class starship though he was pretty certain that it won’t be as exciting as it was aboard his old Imperator Class starship that he designed himself.
The Captain stood alone in the Observation lounge of the Drydock watching as the workbees buzzed around wielding bits of hull plating onto the superstructure of the ship. The room was lit an eerie red as the light was reflected from the planet below, Dixon’s reflection stared back at him in a seemingly condescending manner. A few weeks ago, Nathan would have looked around forty but ever since he had his DNA reprogrammed by the mysterious Augment known only as ‘X’, the Captain now looked around twenty one again, though he felt around seventeen.
As one would have expected Starfleet Command had a lot to say about being an Augment and being reprogrammed, in fact they were talking about annulling Dixon’s Command status period as they viewed him as a danger to himself and others. Nathan was however, glad to have Admiral Kurtis D. Levenham on his side who argued that how can a bit of reprogrammed DNA affect a mans conscience? The Admirals reluctantly agreed with Levenham since he was a Doctor in Psychology, even if he was a Hologram.
The Captain looked down once again at the ship before walking off down the corridor, his destination unknown to even himself.
