| - Tegan watched in awe, tucked away in a small seat in the corner of the bridge. She remembered her mother's exact words as she was leaving the bridge. "Sit here, and you can watch. If you get up and move around, you're going back to our quarters. Is that clear?" It was crystal clear. Wanting desperately to watch the Naval officers at work, their movements sure, their actions exact, she was careful to not move a muscle. Seeing her father from across the bridge, she focused on his decorations - his captain's rank insignia, his decorations and badges. She nearly burst with pride as junior officers saluted her father respectfully. She looked at the consoles closely, trying to memorize their patterns, trying to predict the actions of those manning the consoles. Time flew by, unnoticed by the happy child. Suddenly, she felt her stomach clench, and it growled at her. Her arms quickly flew to muffle the sound, even as it gurgled into silence. A shadow loomed over her, and she looked up, startled. Had she done something wrong? Tegan bit her lower lip and looked up, her eyes wide. Her father looked down at her, a twinkle in his eye and a smile on his face. Tegan hesitantly smiled back and shrunk down a little into her seat. In response, her father grinned and straightened her up. "We have to have a serious meeting now Tegan," he said quietly. Tegan obediently stood up to leave. She saluted her father, careful to perform the motions correctly. "Permission to leave the bridge, sir?" She lisped a little; she had just lost her left front tooth (she lost the right one 4 days ago). "Permission granted," her father chuckled and put his hand on her head. "Now get out of here - I think KT has your lunch ready." He winked and patted her stomach. Tegan smiled happily as she trotted out to the main decks towards her family's quarters. This was a regularly reoccurring phenomenon on the CR90 Corvette "Imagine." Troops, officers and droids alike were accustomed to the captain's daughter exploring the ship. Her eyes always darted about, looking at everyone hopefully. "Can I try?" Was the most-heard phrase on-board the ship. Junior officers were regularly tasked with babysitting the child; taking her to flight simulators to play, or sitting her on their laps to play with faux consoles. Even more often, she would merely sit on the bridge, eyes glistening with excitement as she watched the bridge go about its business. A familiar face, Tegan was always happy to be seen on the bridge, or walking about the ship. As time passed, Tegan grew, becoming more and more involved on the ship. As a young teen, she looked forward to the day when she would be allowed to start real training.
