Martin was off duty this morning having worked hard throughout the day with training new crew and himself getting taught how to properly use the equipment and such associated items. He had decided to go for a stroll around the starbase to clear his mind and refresh himself for a few hours before returning back to duty and a stint on the bridge which was great fun you could still do your job but have a bit of general banter as well to pass the time. He strolled down the docking port ramp and onto the starbase wondering where to go which made Landau feel like he was home almost as the stint on a starbase early on felt like he had never left in a way that made him sure he would find his way around.

He had stopped a senior crew member which he asked the question about docking schedules and was pointed to a file on the system for such a thing odd as it may seem Martin was just curious. Martin downloaded the file and walked around for a bit reading it then swore under his breath as a familiar ship name was staring him in the face. Landau could not believe it at all why here why today why now he wasn't ready for the confrontation yet especially with his sister and the fact he still didn't trust her these days either. He continued to stroll around looking at the watch keeping track of time till the start of the shift and the fact he was eager to get away from here and be on duty rather than chat to his sister and think about the past over drinks. Landau strolled back around to docking port and clambered up the airbridge to the ship moving faster and faster trying to get away from the station.
