Mission: Character Developent
Location: Armory, USS Amandora

LTJG Dimitri Pronichev walked down to the Armory in preparation for his first inspection. The previous Master-at-arms, an enlisted crewman, had left a rudimentary list of the inventory and status of the Armory and its contents, but its was incomplete, much to Pronichev's annoyance. He nodded to the two crewman on guard at the door, and walked in as they stood to attention. He headed in, and unexpectedly found a group of cadets cleaning the armory, five of them spread throughout the room. The nearest cadet noticed his entrance and snapped to attention.
"Officer on deck!"
The rest of the cadets jumped to attention and faced the Lieutenant. He was unaware of their posting on the Amandora, but was glad someone was tending to the armory. He turned to the nearest cadet, a Vulcan male only a few years younger than him. He was the cadet commander, to the Lieutenant's observation. "Cadet, do you have a list of the armory's inventory?"
The cadet extended his hand, handing Pronichev his padd. "Yes, Sir. All weapons and ammunition accounted for, Sir."
Pronichev smiled. "Very good, I came prepared to do that myself. As you were."
"The Cadet nodded. "Thank you, Sir."
The Lieutenant walked around the armory with the paddocking, checking off each checklist of the weaponry and supplies, noting that the inventory amount matched the listing. The Cadet was correct, everything was accounted for, Furthermore, the armory was in pristine condition. The rifles and hand phasers were hung and locked correctly, all clean of dust , scratches or markings. The larger weapons were as clean, hung against the opposite wall, just as organized as the phasers. He was pleased, as this would not only make his job easier, but he knew the security officers took their job seriously. He did another scan of the room, checking the rifles and phasers; they were all in pristine condition as well. He put his padd under his arm and left quickly, nodding again to the crewman out front. He'd finish up his report, noting that the armory had passed his inspection quickly and easily, noting the apparent efficiency of his security officers to the Captain. Dimitri Pronichev was not a man who cut corners, and he was glad that his fellow officers did not either.
