John didn't exactly remember how long it has been since his pod left the ship. He stared off into space (literally) until he saw the Starfleet base.
His pod entered the Emergency Life Pod Pad (try saying that 5 times fast) and he looked around. A few people hundreds of feet beneath him were scurrying around through the crowd.
Clearly Starfleet knew what happened. That meant The Federation did too.
He stepped out and turned to take the escalator to administration for the base. He got onto the escalator and practically ran down the moving steps, jumping the last few to reach the bottom faster. He sprinted down the hall and was met with a door at the end of it.
His eyes were scanned and he when the door opened he ran through, now greeted by a long line of Starfleet members- his crew.
He panted when he got to the end, realizing he was the last in the line. Roxy, Rose, and Dave were all right in front of him and they all turned.
"Captain, are you alright??" Roxy asked quickly. John waved his hand a little. "Is everyone here?"
She nodded. "Everyone's being thoroughly checked. Some of us got really hurt."
John looked down and didn't say anything. This was all his fault.
"Well... not really hurt!" Roxy insisted. "Cut some scrapes, a broken bone here and there." John looked up at her. "They will more likely than not be out of commision from going on another mission for a while." He said. Dave rolled his eyes.
"Listen, John. This isn't your fault. You saved the entire ship from death-"
"But I didn't save the ship." John replied.
"No one cares about the damn ship!" Rose snapped. "We're all here, we're alive! You did far better than a lot of captains on their first missions!"
A few crew members tilted their heads and looked back at the four. John didn't pay attention to them.

The line moved slowly, each member of the massive crew being checked thoroughly for security reasons. Soon it was John's turn for the first set of questions.
"Name?"
"John Egbert."
"Position?"
"Captain of the USS Enterprise."
"Graduating year?"
"2200."
"...You've been a captain for less than a year?"
John shrugged. "I aced a ton of classes and was put in advanced ones for double credits, so I ended up graduating a little early. And yes, that's why I was put on this mission after not even being a captain for a year."
"This was your first one?"
"Yes."
The man wrote something on a piece of paper.
"You're having a relationship with a crew member."
John went pink. "..Yes."
"That's all. Go to booth number 2."
John stepped away and as he walked to the next area, he saw his crew members standing on the other side of a glass wall. He saw Dirk handing Roxy a small red box, and when she opened it her eyes lit up and she covered her mouth.
John winced and turned his attention to the person at the booth, who was now searching him. They found nothing and sent him on his way. He walked through a door and was now with his crew members who were finished with questioning and uninjured. They all instantly turned to him expectantly.
"As you were." He said softly. No one moved. John headed for the door and everyone began to follow him.
"Guys." He said, a little louder. "You don't have to follow me around like puppies. No one's gonna hurt you here."
Dirk cleared his throat. "John, we're uh.. We're supposed to go to the office of a top administrator."
John shrugged. "Alright, who is it?"
Everyone was quiet, before someone else from engineering spoke up.
"Your father."
