Kyle looks at him.
KYLE: Was seeing my parents and sister before I came here to the dockyard.
Kyle joins him at the table and orders a scotch.
JOHN: I just saw Tina off aboard the U.S.S. Endeavour.
The waiter brings Kyle his scotch.
KYLE: To the new first officer of the USS Enterprise may you do a great job. 
They drink the ale. 
JOHN: Thanks I would like to toast the new chief engineer of the Starfleet Corps of Engineers. 
They drink the ale. 
KYLE: Thanks my first posting ever to a Excelsior-class vessel since we both graduated from Starfleet Academy. 
JOHN: True. 
Kyle pours another drink of ale. 
JOHN: I didn't know that Captain Yunker would want to transfer me so quickly. 
Kyle waves his hand. 
KYLE: John you made a tactical choice that day if you didn't the Ajaxs would of been destroyed by the Romulans.
John pours himself another glass of ale. 
JOHN [sighs]: True but the fallout between me and Commander Hunter is still strong she's not that into me. 
John drinks his ale. 
KYLE [smiles]: Who knows man you'll find that special someone and sweep her off her feet. 
John drinks his ale thinking about that as they both look out at both their next postings as the Enterprise and U.S.S. Harrison NCC-1941 are docked in a line.
