The Atlantis Chronicles- The Kordam Party
Page 19
Over the course of the next twenty years, Bowen distinguished himself, first as a fighter pilot, and finally as a starship commander. Eventually, he was assigned to the newly completed U.S.S. Atlantis. Bowen has committed himself to serving as the Commanding Officer of the Atlantis. Though Bowen maintains his flight status, and keeps his own fighter aboard, his duties keep him quite busy.
Mitchell Bowen is a dedicated man. He is a stickler for regulations, but knows when it is necessary to bend the rules. He is a bit overwhelmed by the size of his ship, and sees it as more of a mobile space station, but is still dedicated to making it the best ship in the fleet. Bowen still pines away for Rain, and keeps a pair of panties that she took off the last time he had sex with her, a few hours before she died. Recently, Carmen Ramirez has come back into his life. She was assigned to the Atlantis as the ship's media director. She has also tried to entice Bowen back into a romantic relationship. Though Bowen is still stinging from his original breakup with Carmen, he is humoring her and participating in some romantic encounters with her.
