A Run In with the Devil

[Akirapryde]

Commander Bonham stood at a shower station seemingly enjoying a long hot shower. Steam rose up around him as he worked soap in to his short cut high and tight hair cut. His blond hair was filled with soap while soapy water ran down his body. Despite attempting to look away, she couldn't help but notice the number of wounds across his body. She had heard the rumors about the wounds he wore proudly but this was her opportunity to first hand witness these wounds.

The next thing that stood out, and almost caused her to stare, was his well conditioned body. Ensign Skytower knew that Flight Ops ran their own physical fitness program separate from the rest of the ship. This was largely due to the fact that most of the Deck Hands were Marines who wanted to move up from infantry. Those marines brought with them a more intense physical training program. Some of Security even conducted physical training with Flight Ops as did all of the Marines. Based of what she saw as she gazed on Commander Bonham's body, the results were impressive.

"Is that Ensign Skytower" he asked as he started to rinse the soap out of his hair. She noticed the same tattoo on his right arm as the other members of the Jolly Rogers. His nickname on his tattoo was 'Reaper'. There was something about his body that kept drawing her attention. For some reason she kept thinking of some leather and armored clad Scandinavian deity when she looked at him. Luckily for Skytower, the center post of the shower station allowed just enough to the imagination. He added, "what can I do for you ensign" as the soapy water washed down his body.
