"A relief in physical form. Then if you'll excuse me, I think I'll go find the Commander and whisper the idea..then we can continue our meal and have a dance, yes?" *She responded with a smile, her body language much more open now, as it often was around him. Though at the opportunity, she graced her ankle against his lower leg gently, a hidden touch in a crowd full of people. How scandalous.*

"Well I certainly read enough adventure stories and listened to enough of my dad's stories to make me want to come out here. So....here I am." *She laughed and sipped her drink.*

Ensign Soval McFadden 21-Oct-21 02:58 PM

“Ahh well I grew up around all this and starfleet by default has been my life.” *he said sipping his drink.*

Ensign Lihne Carter 21-Oct-21 03:01 PM

"Well, still getting used to not being in a lab all the time. I don't even the other departments. I don't know if I'd be cut out for engine work."

PO3 Harry Lynton 21-Oct-21 03:06 PM

*Harry took a few minutes to slowly but surely draw whatever he saw in the arch, ensuring to copy as many details as he possibly could. Lamenting internally, the fact that he lacked the materials to actually draw the proper size of the arch, he did the best with what he had. Each and every stroke made him ever so slowly remember of the good days that he used to have, before all hell broke loose in his household. With about a quarter of the arch completed, he began to carefully remove some of the residue from the pencil he had before continuing, now working on actually filling out the sides of said arch, making sure that it would look as three dimensional as possible. Oh would he love to meet an architecture and spend days just reading the culture, history, and philosophy of this world, and yet he doubt he would even be able to do it. It was the wonderful part of his life, the fact that he had a love for knowledge, yet that part was not relevant to his job. He was a soldier, one who was tasked to defend the federation, and all of the progress that it had made. But reserved content was the thing expected of him, and he would show that. With that thought ended, he then finished drawing the actual arch and started to draw all of the art slowly but surely. The stories of this society all plastered for Harry to draw, yet have no understanding of what it was exactly. Maybe he would learn a few things but hell, it was unlikely he would learn much. So back to copying the intricate artwork, the epotime of this world's society.*

Ensign Soval McFadden 21-Oct-21 03:21 PM

“Well I’m in command devision I’m a helm officer actually, it’s mostly because I love flying and I love the rush I get from pushing a shuttle craft to its limits.” *he said with a small grin before he took a nice sip of his drink.* “how are you enjoying this feast.?”

Ensign Lihne Carter 21-Oct-21 03:23 PM

"Haven't eaten anything yet. Still little nervous with something this big and not dig related."

Ensign Soval McFadden 21-Oct-21 03:24 PM

“Ahh what do you do in science?”

Ensign Lihne Carter 21-Oct-21 03:26 PM

"I'm a Xenoarcheologist."

Ensign Soval McFadden 21-Oct-21 03:41 PM

“That’s interesting sounding I haven’t a clue what it actually is tho.?”

Dr. Larkin 21-Oct-21 04:24 PM

*Larkin's eyes lowered to the table a moment as he felt her leg against his, the tips of his ears blushing slightly as he met her gaze again, his brows rising,* "You wish me to wait here then?" *It was not his intention, but that kind of came out sounding like a puppy not wanting to be left alone. It was not the reaction he had been expecting at all, but he did his best to straighten and regain his stony demeanor, unable to completely wipe the hint of a pout from his lips.* "Should anyone run off with you again...First Contact negotiations will be a lot harder to maintain peacefully if I have to come get you back."

Lt. JG Hunter Maxwell 21-Oct-21 04:37 PM

*Maxwell stepped into the great hall. He looked around, so many people in here. He made his way to the back corner of the hall. He didn't really wanna talk. He was feeling a little more reserved today. He grabbed a glass of water on the way back. He thought this might be a good place to start relaxing, but it was turning into watching everyone else having fun. He took a sip and remained in his little "Corner."*

Lt. JG Sara Bjørge 21-Oct-21 04:45 PM

*Her twinkling laughter was sudden and her cheeks already pink from the idea of Larkin playing gallant knight to come rescue her from the clutches of aliens once again, throwing her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. It would of course be her would-be mate that would be on the front lines, ready to tear throats and speak ill words.* "Sweet kiwi'diwa, you can come along if you like? I am sure Commander Kestra would appreciate the company from you as well." *It was not too hard to read his tone- having spent so much time with the Vulcan. Contrary to popular belief, Vulcans were **quite** expressive, one only had to look closely and know what their signs for what meant. A raised eyebrow, for example, could mean anything from detachment to excitement, it was reading the other ques coupled with it that gave the answer.* "But it also would not hurt me deeply if you found conversation with others here?"

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 21-Oct-21 04:50 PM

*Having gotten her fill of dinner, Alessandra eventually peeled away from Garland to go and retrieve some dessert and a drink from the banquet table, picking out a miniature chocolate lava cake in the shape of a dome and a glass of purple liquid.*

"We havent met yet, have we" *Putting his hand out* "I am Taylor"

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 21-Oct-21 05:04 PM

@Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria (@Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria) - jump *Ray entered the hall, and took in everything around. This place was amazing! It looked like something out of the old books and stories Uncle Grant and Grandpa Henry used to tell him. The instruments, the people it all seemed so . . .* *He paused when his stomach rumbled. The smell of the food in the air drew him towards a banquet table, filled with deserts and drinks. He readjusted the pack on his back, making sure it's not in the way of anything. He grabbed a plate, and started to take a couple morsels.* *He moved around the table, and accidentally bumped arms with a Klingon woman doing the same.* "Oh, sorry, didn't see you."

ShadowStrike

"We havent met yet, have we" *Putting his hand out* "I am Taylor"

Lt. JG Hunter Maxwell 21-Oct-21 05:05 PM

"We are roommates right... Have I disturbed you would you rather be alone" *Asking scared of having done something unrespectful*

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 21-Oct-21 05:08 PM

*Alessandra was just starting to take a sip of the purple drink as his arm bumped here, spilling droplets on her colorful floral dress. Fortunately, the Half-Klingon didn’t see to concerned and just moved to pick up a napkin.* “Don’t worry *Amigo.* I probably shouldn’t have been standing here drinking anyway.”

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 21-Oct-21 05:12 PM

*Ray still couldn't help but feel a bit guilty. He should've seen her, part of his job is watching people! He picked up a couple napkins and tried to give them to her. His hands calloused and the knuckles of his hand rough. The hands of a fighter.* "Here, so- . . . oh, right, you've got it. Should've been watching where I was going."

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 21-Oct-21 05:18 PM

*She took the napkins gratefully, setting down her other things. Though she seemed Klingon, Alessandra’s hair was very dark and she seemed to have a more Hispanic complexion.* “Oh, it’s no big deal. This dress is replicated anyway. Puedo reciclarlo y hacer uno nuevo.”

Lt. JG Sara Bjørge

*Her twinkling laughter was sudden and her cheeks already pink from the idea of Larkin playing gallant knight to come rescue her from the clutches of aliens once again, throwing her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. It would of course be her would-be mate that would be on the front lines, ready to tear throats and speak ill words.* "Sweet kiwi'diwa, you can come along if you like?

Dr. Larkin 21-Oct-21 05:23 PM

*Larkin was torn a moment between simply wanting to follow to be close to her and then not wanting to crowd her. There was no need to constantly be attached at the hip. Then he thought of T'Pel, and his memory of the Athena still fairly fresh in his mind, as well as her screams in Sickbay. Checking on her would not be a horrible idea. She may have calmed, but her emotional status still had to be fairly raw. She could only distract herself with work so much.* "I will follow. I seem to be rather attached to you today, and...I would be remiss not to check in on T'Pel. It has not been long since she...well...I will let her speak of that if it is her choice." *He stood, grabbing his little plate of snacks, content to guard Sara's plump six while he snacked quietly.* (edited)

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 21-Oct-21 05:33 PM

*Ray was a bit surprised. He'd never met a Klingon, or at least, she looked partway Klingon, who spoke Spanish. He knew one who spoke French, he was an interesting guy, but not Spanish. He smiled. He liked to meet new kinds of people.* "Well, still, sorry for the trouble. I don't think we've met before properly, I'm Raymond. Arkenholz, but, people just call me Ray."

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 21-Oct-21 05:35 PM

“Alessandra de la Cavalleria, ship’s Yeoman. You can just call me Alessandra or Aless though.” *After cleaning off the drink stains, she picked up her plates again.*

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 21-Oct-21 05:44 PM

*Ray popped what looked like a cookie in his mouth and started chewing. Not bad, tasted like mint.* "Nice ta meetcha Aless. I'm not anything so interesting I'm afraid. I'm just an Ensign in the Security department."

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 21-Oct-21 05:46 PM

“Oh, that’s okay! I know plenty of people in security already. Have you met Señor Mayott or Señorita Rhosyn yet?”

Dr. Larkin

*Larkin was torn a moment between simply wanting to follow to be close to her and then not wanting to crowd her. There was no need to constantly be attached at the hip.

Lt. JG Sara Bjørge 21-Oct-21 05:49 PM

"Then how could I deny you, Doctor?" *She responded with almost a purr, taking her ankle away from his leg and standing with the ease of someone who easily had years of walking in heels below her belt. But she did not, she only took to them easily out of spite for not having been allowed to wear them all her life. In heels, she stood to his collarbone, a delightful change of pace and one she would remember to mimic on duty if she could be allowed the booted version. She waited until Larkin was standing before she began to wander off, hopefully in the direction of Commander Kestra.*

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 21-Oct-21 05:51 PM

Ray gave it some thought as he chewed, and then swallowed before he gave his answer. "I'm sorry, I don't think I've met with Mayott yet. I've only been on the ship awhile, though I may have with him yet once or twice. And for Rhosyn, I have, though I don't think I'll be getting orders from her anytime soon. With her. . . incident, and all." (edited)

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 21-Oct-21 05:57 PM

“Oh, yeah, I heard about that… it makes me sad. Have you met the rest of security yet though?”

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 21-Oct-21 05:59 PM

"I think I've served with a good number of the crewmen and some of the other officers so far. And as a Yeoman, you must serve with a good number of the Commanders and senior staff, right?"

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 21-Oct-21 06:02 PM

“Mhm! I’m basically an assistant for them. Particularly the Captain and the security staff.”

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 21-Oct-21 06:03 PM

“Wow, heart of the action! I bet you see it all, with a ringside seat! Where’s your station mostly, the Bridge?”

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 21-Oct-21 06:04 PM

“Most of the time, yep. I also have an office too.” *She needed to use that office more.*

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 21-Oct-21 06:09 PM

“Sounds like quite a position. What kinda duties do you end up doing? Is it something you enjoy?”

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 21-Oct-21 06:14 PM

“Mostly just bringing things to people and filing reports and stuff. Or talking to people. That’s fun.”

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 21-Oct-21 06:17 PM

*Ray popped another cookie in his mouth and chewed, these things were really good.* "Security's not all that exciting most days. Watch monitors, patrol halls, write reports, repeat."

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 21-Oct-21 06:24 PM

“Hmm. Same here. It’s usually pretty quiet most of the time.”

[E] Ensign D. D'jarva BOT 21-Oct-21 06:30 PM

@Councilman Erain (@Lt. Girak Mayott) - jump "S-so...how could I get through there? Would I need a special guide?" *She seemed...rather desperate.* "Is their many of them? The tribe...is it small?"

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 21-Oct-21 06:33 PM

"Just another day at the office . . ." *Ray finished his cookie.* "So . . . I just got here, been down here for a bit? Came straight here from the ship, haven't seen much of the city. But it looks quite interesting."

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 21-Oct-21 06:35 PM

“Mhm! My friend and I were having dinner here. We were planning to go to some dream world place and then the gardens.”

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 21-Oct-21 06:37 PM

*Ray was a bit confused.* "'Dream world place'? I can get the appeal of a garden, but what kinda place are you talking about with the dreams?"

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 21-Oct-21 06:38 PM

*The Yeoman shrugged, sipping her drink.* “I dunno. I guess it’s some thing where you link dreams or whatever.”

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 21-Oct-21 06:40 PM

"Well, that sounds rather interesting. Like one of those, 'Mind Meld' things the Vulcans do, but on a larger scale?"

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 21-Oct-21 06:41 PM

“I guess so.”

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 21-Oct-21 06:57 PM

"Huh, sounds rather interesting. Though, the idea does make me a bit uncomfortable, to be honest. People in your head and all that."

ShadowStrike

"We are roommates right... Have I disturbed you would you rather be alone" *Asking scared of having done something unrespectful*

Lt. JG Hunter Maxwell 21-Oct-21 07:01 PM

*Maxwell looks at Alex for a moment.* "I knew there was something different about the room. No you haven't bothered me a bit."

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 21-Oct-21 07:02 PM

“We haven’t tried it yet, so I don’t know.” *The Half-Klingon said.* “We’ll have to see what it’s al about.”

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 21-Oct-21 07:09 PM

“Well, lemme know what it’s like, after you go through it, I mean. I would be interested in learning at least what it feels like.”

Cmdr Vale Azoci 21-Oct-21 07:10 PM

*Vale wondered around aimlessly then found the door to the dance floor.*

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 21-Oct-21 07:10 PM

“Mhm! Will do!”

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 21-Oct-21 07:46 PM

*Ray readjusted the bag strap with one hand, keeping one for the plate to be stable.* “I don’t mean to be rude, but how’d you come to speak Spanish? I’ve never heard a Klingon speak Spanish before. Were you born or spend any time on Earth?” (edited)

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 21-Oct-21 08:07 PM

“Oh yeah, I was born on Earth, in Mexico. My Mother is Human, and my father was Klingon. I grew up speaking Spanish up until the academy.”

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 21-Oct-21 08:12 PM

“Ah, you’re from Earth! I was born their myself, in New England. It gets mighty cold and snowy there in the winters.”

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 21-Oct-21 08:14 PM

“Oh, that’s in America, right?” *Alessandra had never been farther north than Texas when she visited America.*

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 21-Oct-21 08:16 PM

*He nodded his head.* “Yep, top of the Eastern coast. I was raised in Boston, one of the oldest cities in the country.”

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 21-Oct-21 08:16 PM

“Oh. I’m from Mexico City.”

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 21-Oct-21 08:17 PM

“That’s quite a historical city. I would not mind visiting it one day.”

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 21-Oct-21 08:20 PM

“Mhm! I’ve never been to Boston either. I’d like to see it one day too.”

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 21-Oct-21 08:23 PM

“My advice? If you ever go, bring a coat. No matter what time of year it is, it’s always colder than you’d think it would be.”

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 21-Oct-21 08:34 PM

“Oh, that sounds reasonable. America is always so cold compared to Mexico.”

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 21-Oct-21 08:58 PM

“I’ll be ready for the heat then.” *Ray took a glass of the drink that was on the table, and put his plate down.* “I haven’t had much time down here, what can you tell me about this place?”

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 21-Oct-21 09:00 PM

“This place? It’s kinda mysterious. And weird. From what I’ve gathered a lot of the inhabitants and stuff seem to be a mix of Alpha-quadrant races and old earth fantasy characters.”

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 21-Oct-21 09:14 PM

“Well, that certainly explains the decorum . . .” *Ray took a sip of the drink but jerked in response with wide eyes, keeping it balanced and tried not to spill any. It was a lot spicier than he was expecting. He tried to play it off like nothing happened, clearing his throat and trying to act casual.* “Uh, so any word on the culture of this planet? You said they’re like the fantasy races of Earth, so there’s Elves and Orcs and other such races here?”

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 21-Oct-21 09:17 PM

*She arched as he nearly choked on the drink, waiting for him to recover before answering his question.* “It seems so, yeah. And Goblins.”

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 21-Oct-21 09:19 PM

*He smiled in wonder.* "Goblins. They have Goblins here . . ." *An idea popped into his head.* "I wonder . . . any word on Dragons being on this planet?"

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 21-Oct-21 09:30 PM

“Uhm… not that I’ve heard, but probably.”

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 21-Oct-21 09:32 PM

"Ah, just wondering. I'd love to be able to say I saw a Dragon to my Grandpa. He'd be jealous as all Hell."

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 21-Oct-21 09:34 PM

“There probably are some here… you can say you saw other stuff though. And are weird food.”

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 21-Oct-21 09:38 PM

*As she was mentioning weird food, Ray took a quick sniff of the drink in his hands. It smelled a bit funny, as he took another sip. Yep, spicy, like a Rum type spice.* "Yep . . . definitely right about the food, or at least the drinks."

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 21-Oct-21 09:39 PM

“I have no idea what I’m eating, but it tastes good, so…” *The Yeoman cut off a piece of the cake she was eating and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing thoughtfully.*

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 21-Oct-21 09:49 PM

*Ray moved his tongue around in his mouth, letting the aftertaste whoft over his pallet. A bit sweet, a bit bitter.* "Is this stuff safe to eat? Hope there's no aftereffects."

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 21-Oct-21 09:53 PM

“Aside from a full belly and a nice afterstate, I don’t think so. I don’t think they’d poison us or anything.”

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 21-Oct-21 09:59 PM

"Well, I hope you're right. Don't wanna have to spend a day in bed over bad cookies or a bad . . . what is this, punch?"

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 21-Oct-21 10:00 PM

“Beats me.” *Alessandra shrugged.*

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 21-Oct-21 10:13 PM

*Ray gave the drink one last sniff, and a puzzling look.* "Well if you're gonna go all in," *He downed the drink with one big swig, placing the empty glass on the table. The drink felt strange going down his throat, and gave a tingling burning sensation as it sat in his stomach.* "Might as well bet it all on Black."

[T] Ensign K'kothi BOT 21-Oct-21 10:18 PM

@Ensign Maggie Roode - jump *The Klingon chuckles, finishing up his drink. He sighs, his head turning to look over the hall before he looks back at Maggie and says* "I must apologize friend, but I shall need to cut this rather short. I hope you make sure to not be convinced by that elf you mentioned to stay here permanently, the ship would miss you greatly." *He ended in a rather joking manner, as he stood up* "I will most likely see you next while I'm in the Tactical Center, so until then." *He puts his hand out to shake hers*

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 21-Oct-21 10:19 PM

*Alessandra watched as he downed the drink, smirking into her own glass.* “Well, if it’s poisoned and we’re all gonna die, at least it was tasty.”

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 21-Oct-21 10:26 PM

"Yeah, wasn't bad. Tasted kinda like, Rum? No . . . like a, like Rum and Punch."

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 21-Oct-21 10:26 PM

“Ooh. Sounds tasty!”

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 21-Oct-21 10:27 PM

*Ray grabbed a glass right next to the one he grabbed previously, same liquid.* "Here, see for yourself if you wanna. Careful, it's spicier than you'd expect."

Ensign Lihne Carter 21-Oct-21 10:42 PM

"Oh well, I study ancient civilizations and the histories of current civilizations."

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 21-Oct-21 10:44 PM

“Oh, that shouldn’t be a problem.” *She set down her own glass and took the spicy one, taking a sip.* “Hmm. It’s kinda mild.”!

Ensign Lihne Carter

"Oh well, I study ancient civilizations and the histories of current civilizations."

Ensign Soval McFadden 21-Oct-21 10:56 PM

“Ahh sounds intriguing tell me a little more about it.” *He payed close attention to what she was saying.*

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 21-Oct-21 10:59 PM

*Ray looked around at all the people, and then at himself. His flannel shirt and cargo pants, and even his bag.* "I feel a bit underdressed, maybe I should've worn something a bit . . . snazzier. This is a party after all."

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 21-Oct-21 11:01 PM

“Really? I don’t think they care.” *Alessandra sipped the spicy drink with seemingly no ill effects: it was almost disappointing how mild it was.* “I just wore the first *Huipil* I could find in my replicator catalogue.”

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 21-Oct-21 11:02 PM

"I dunno. At the Museum, I got so used to wearing a suit and tie, or a tuxedo at every function and party we had I got used to wearing them at every party I ever went to."

Councilman Erain BOT 21-Oct-21 11:44 PM

*Wow this fuzzy one is really excited.* “There’s few guides but I’m sure if you go to A’ve Ennore to find them. I’d try the forest experts.”

[E] Ensign D. D'jarva BOT 22-Oct-21 05:51 AM

*She took out her notepad and wrote down a few notes.* "Sorry if I'm being rude it's just that back through the wormhole, where we came from there's not many of my people left. Oh and...if they're just like me then they're not just rodents, they're Rodetians." *She seemed to reiterate that last point, though she didn't say it.* "Anyways, other questions! How long ago did you guys found your uhh. Kingdom?"

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 22-Oct-21 07:31 AM

@Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz (@Ensign Raymond Arkenholz) - [jump “Oh, I never had to wear anything particularly fancy. No one else did either.”

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 22-Oct-21 12:15 PM

"Fair enough. Still, nothing wrong with a good suit and tie on occasion."

Councilman Erain BOT 22-Oct-21 02:37 PM

@E] Ensign D. D'jarva (@Nurse T'Lena) - [jump “They look similar to you. I’ve never seen them except in books.” *He looked at her when she asked the second question.* “You mean now long have we been a whole? All nations?”

[E] Ensign D. D'jarva BOT 22-Oct-21 02:41 PM

*She thought for a moment, then nodded.* "Yeah...that's kinda what I mean." *She put the notepad away.* "Back home, we had a war that forced us to unite. But that's only about a year ago or so... I-I think."

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 22-Oct-21 04:14 PM

@Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria (@Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria) - jump *Ray picked up the last sweet on his plate, what looked like a snickerdoodle, and bit down. He put the plate back on the table since he was done.* “These people here have some mighty good hospitality here, and not a bad kitchen staff if I do say so myself.”

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 22-Oct-21 04:25 PM

“Mhm! Though I don’t know what it is exactly.” *She prodded the remains of her fans with a fork.* “It’s obviously not from earth though, I think.”

*That brought up a good point.* “Yeah. . . but it’s quite similar, taste and somewhat appearance. I know there’s only so many possible tastes and foods, blind men and typewriters and all that. Quite a coincidence.”

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 22-Oct-21 04:57 PM

“Maybe. This place is weird. I haven’t heard about blind men and typewriters though. Isn’t it usually monkeys or something?”

@E] Ensign D. D'jarva (@Nurse T'Lena) - [jump “Well if that’s the case we’ve been united for over 100 years. Not much wars here. We have that anomaly to be concerned about, especially if others can come through who aren’t that friendly.”

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 22-Oct-21 05:03 PM

“I’ll admit it is weird to an extent. It is monkeys but I personally prefer to stay blind men. The idea is you have a large amount of people smack away at a typewriter, eventually one or more is gonna write a Shakespeare play.” “What I’m getting at is, there’s so many tastes and foods out in the galaxy, eventually we were gonna run into a place that had food similar to ours. And there’s so many legends on Earth, we were bound to run into a place that’s similar to some of them. The two just happened to be at the same place is all.”

Yeoman Alessandra Cavalleria BOT 22-Oct-21 05:15 PM

“Huh.” *She blinked.* “How convenient.”

Cmdr Vale Azoci 22-Oct-21 05:16 PM

*Vale walked back into the hall with Vine slowly calming down. She felt the thoughts around her so separate from herself. She knew the feeling of grief and this was stronger than she’d felt herself before. It was hard to block out other thoughts. There were too many in here. Vine wrapped itself around her arm and down her wrist. A signal she had to get out of there she was going to end up overwhelmed. So back to the balcony.*

“Same to you! Bye!” *The Yeoman put away her plates and disappeared again.*

PO3 Harry Lynton 22-Oct-21 07:56 PM

*As all of the conversations continued to talk and enjoy their evenings, Harry continued to draw. Maybe just for the sake of drawing or maybe it was because of the fact that he found it cathartic. Every line, every small curve and even the small little indentations that he drew on the small padd was like he was slowly releasing the tactical facade that had been plastered upon him for the last two years. He started to try his best to get the appropriate faces on a small statue carved into it, yet the feasibility of such a task was pretty impossible. A small smile crossed over his face, yet he was looking straight down at that moment, a challenge was beckoning for him. Yet he perfectly well knew with small amount of paper it would not work, he certainly would try his best to obtain what could be a minimally acceptable for his own relatively high standards. But he guesses that is his entire life up to this point, high standards that he placed upon himself because that is the only thing he knew. Working till you dropped and then working a hell of a lot more. Without that, he would never have gotten to the place that he is now. So he continued to put what could be the final touches to the piece of art, not a art of marvels but what could be considered one of the higher quality drawings that he had made in the last few years. The side of his hands were dark with the fade of graphite or whatever other material used for the particular pencil that was used, and the corner of the paper had been pressed up a little bit by accident. But yet it could be showing what Harry is in all due reality, a man who cares about all the small details yes, yet also someone who makes the smallest of mistakes simultaneously. A weird dichotomy of a man it seems, something even Harry would agree with an external spectator with.*

Ensign Lihne Carter 22-Oct-21 11:34 PM

"Simply that with how civilizations tend to work, there must surely be an earlier civilization that took place on Orion."

Ensign Soval McFadden 23-Oct-21 12:13 AM

“Ohh yes that makes sense what has lead you to this conclusion and you think there was once a peaceful Orion civilization.?”

Ensign Lihne Carter 23-Oct-21 05:35 PM

"Well sadly I've never been invited to Orion Prime, but it does seem that most species have moved from a pictogram method of record/language."

Ensign James Kelenic 23-Oct-21 06:16 PM

*A bubble appeared and James entered the great hall*

*James walked over to where Harry Lynton was sitting*

"Hey, what are you drawing there"

PO3 Harry Lynton 23-Oct-21 06:33 PM

*As James had entered the great hall, Harry would not have even heard him coming in. The commotion of all of the different people in addition to the general lack of attention he gives in moments like these makes him incredibly lackluster in his ability to comprehend that someone had come along and spoken. He continued to slowly but surely fill in a body of what appeared to be a dragon, although much more condensed due to his lack of a bigger piece of paper. He looked up for another moment before realizing that someone was there, in a officer's uniform. He immediately dropped the pencil and quickly stood up.* "Sorry sir. I didn't see you. The drawing...it is just a recreation of the arch over there."

Ensign James Kelenic 23-Oct-21 06:35 PM

*James took a long glance at the arch and then took a look at his drawing* "That it is, very done, great penmanship"

Lt. JG Hunter Maxwell 23-Oct-21 07:02 PM

*Maxwell steps in the Great Hall, he didn't really know why. He headed to the bar, and asked for something non alcoholic. He wasn't feeling it today. Once he drink was served, he turned around and stared out in to the massive group of people that was there, Oddy crew and native lifeforms alike. They seemed to be enjoying themselves. He wished he could as well.*

Ensign Maggie Roode 23-Oct-21 07:04 PM

*Sitting nearby was Maggie, chatting up a few of the locals in her very snazzy white and gold suit. Before ordering another drink and starting to well, drink. She looked over to Maxwell, recognizing him as of Oddy and gave him a cheery smile.* “Howdy!” (edited)

Lt. JG Hunter Maxwell 23-Oct-21 07:06 PM

*Maxwell noticed, and with a half smile, he tipped his white cowboy hat, acknowledging her.* "Howdy, ma'am." *He said respectfully.*

Ensign Maggie Roode 23-Oct-21 07:06 PM

*Maggie smiled as she looked at him. Hands neatly on her lap.* “Hi! How are things with you? I’m Maggie by the way.”

Lt. JG Hunter Maxwell 23-Oct-21 07:07 PM

"Maggie, nice to meet you. Maxwell, Hunter Maxwell. You can call me Hunter or Maxwell, what ever goats your float." *He said, taking a sip of his drink.*

Ensign Maggie Roode 23-Oct-21 07:10 PM

*Maggie nodded with a smirk.* “Nice to meet you Hunter! How are you liking our hosts?”

Lt. JG Hunter Maxwell 23-Oct-21 07:12 PM

*Maxwell tipped his head side to side.* "Honestly I haven't met anyone from this region yet." *He admits.*

Ensign Maggie Roode 23-Oct-21 07:15 PM

*Maggie smiled as she took a sip.* “Heh, beyond the guy that took me down to one of the cities earlier in the night who was sweet and a dude who couldn’t believe a woman was wearing clothes I haven’t either. So that’s about one for two on the nice factor.”

Lt. JG Hunter Maxwell 23-Oct-21 07:17 PM

"Alright then." *He said taking another sip.* "So, what department are you from?"

Ensign Maggie Roode 23-Oct-21 07:19 PM

“Tactical. Fairly new as well, beyond some…odd things in an armoury with our chief of security it’s been pretty okay? Well, beyond Borg head explosions.”

Lt. JG Hunter Maxwell 23-Oct-21 07:22 PM

*Maxwell stopped. He took a deep breath. And went slightly wided eyed. 'She was there, when everything went down. When Mayott broke, when I put my life on the line, when Gored and Serapia turned......' His mind went off like a bullet shot out a gun. He closed his eyes to calm himself down before it got out of hand.* "Well, I'm glad your liking it ok, either way." *He choked out. Opening his eyes again.* (edited)

Ensign Maggie Roode 23-Oct-21 07:31 PM

*Maggie looked at him with a bit of worry. Noticing how he was reacting.* “Oh are you okay? Would you like a glass of water or something?”

Lt. JG Hunter Maxwell 23-Oct-21 07:33 PM

*Taking another deep breath* "Yeah, I'm......okay. Sorry, just some thoughts pop into my mind, thats all." *He said, taking another sip. He wished he had some of his Tennessee Whiskey right now.* (edited)

Ensign Maggie Roode 23-Oct-21 07:34 PM

*Maggie nodded with a small smile.* “Oh okay. Cool cool cool. How long have you been on the ship if you don’t mind me asking?”

Lt. JG Hunter Maxwell 23-Oct-21 07:35 PM

"I've been on it since last ESD visit. Straight out of the academy." *He said, his breathing slow and deep, continuing to keep his mind from running rampant, and carrying on a conversation.*

Ensign Maggie Roode 23-Oct-21 07:39 PM

*Maggie nodded as she looked at him.* “Are you sure you don’t need anything? And I’m a good few years out! How did you enjoy the Academy?”

Ensign James Kelenic

*James took a long glance at the arch and then took a look at his drawing* "That it is, very done, great penmanship"

PO3 Harry Lynton 23-Oct-21 07:51 PM

*The response was not one that he was expecting at all, especially given the fact that he may or may not have been used to continual barrages for years on not doing the tasks assigned to him. Granted the fact that he was off of his work duties for the time being, yet it was still almost programmed into his mind. He was not to do this type of stuff while he could be doing something more productive. But yet the approval was almost a small sigh of relief in that terms. He still stood at attention, as he didn't know if this ensign would find some sort of offense by him not providing proper professionalism to one who is of a higher rank. His dress uniform presented the red, indicating someone either in command or tactical, with no pips on the collar of the uniform.* "Thank..thank you sir."

Lt. JG Hunter Maxwell 23-Oct-21 08:07 PM

*Maxwell smiled.* "I'm sure I don't need anything." *The mention of the academy was bitter sweet. He decided to not focus on the bitter.* "I enjoyed it, especially my combat courses."

Ensign Maggie Roode 23-Oct-21 08:15 PM

*Maggie nodded as she looked at him. A small smile on her face.* “Right! Combat courses are fun. The entire Academy is fun if you do it right.”

Cmdr Vale Azoci 23-Oct-21 08:16 PM

*Vale finally seemed to get a handle on what was going on around her. She needed to deal with this till she couldn’t deal anymore. So she got up with her now calm Vine. She walked over to Ryn and waited with just a bit of a look to indicate that she wanted to talk with Ryn.*

Captain Ezarah Ryn 23-Oct-21 08:21 PM

"Excuse me for a moment," *She said to Pax, who she'd been floating around the room with for a while after speaking to the Councilman. Pax would survive for a while on her own, and Vale look like she needed to say something.* "Enjoying the party Commander?"

Cmdr Vale Azoci 23-Oct-21 08:24 PM

“As much as I can… It seems they have a shaman. It’s the same mind I er…. Poked earlier. He’s apparently a healer which might be useful to some of the crew…” *Vale was oddly not saying what she exactly wanted to. She was trying to give useful information. There was a reason why she picked the joined trill to speak with though.*

Captain Ezarah Ryn 23-Oct-21 08:33 PM

"If you think he can help, point him towards Drex. They're her patients, anything he wants to do will need to be cleared by her first." *A healer, not a doctor. Interesting term.* "Is there something else?" *Azoci's speech patterns weren't normally so hesitant, which gave Ryn the impression that there was something else going on.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 23-Oct-21 08:37 PM

“I was wondering… Do trill mark the mourning of someone close to them in any way like humans used to wear black arm bands… I… I got conformation on if Jane is alive or dead…” *This was not as direct as Vale normally was but she didn’t want to become a crying ball of miserable on the captain.*

Ensign James Kelenic

"Don't worry about it, and please call me James were off right now its a time to relax"

PO3 Harry Lynton 23-Oct-21 08:41 PM

"I apologize sir, but I am a crewman and I don't....I don't know if it would be appropriate to call you by your first name even while off of duty." *Yep, Harry was one of those types of people, those who could not really relax and always had to keep that point of professionalism. Something he was resolved to work on slowly but surely and had made some progress on, yet this was one of those moments where he had regressed back. He finally loosened up his standing at attention a little bit, yet he was still pretty uptight at this moment. And inside that was really killing him, as if he can't fix those things that he thinks are wrong with him.*

Ensign Maggie Roode

*Maggie nodded as she looked at him. A small smile on her face.* “Right! Combat courses are fun. The entire Academy is fun if you do it right.”

Lt. JG Hunter Maxwell 23-Oct-21 08:42 PM

"This is a true statement." *He said this a hint of a smile, as he took another sip.* "I did enjoy my hand-to-hand combat training, and rifle training."

Ensign Maggie Roode 23-Oct-21 08:54 PM

*Maggie nodded as she thought about her own training.* “Yeah! It really was a whole ton of fun! One of my fellow classmates once missed so badly she hit the instructor, it was on really low stun though.”

Lt. JG Hunter Maxwell 23-Oct-21 08:58 PM

*Maxwell almost spit out his drink.* "That's funny. Oh poor guy." *He chuckled.*

Captain Ezarah Ryn 23-Oct-21 08:59 PM

*'How could he possibly-' thankfully, Ezarah was able to stop herself before the words came out of her mouth. It was one thing to provide medical treatment to the officers here, but how did this healer know what was happening at home? However, she didn't want to confuse things, because this was the answer to a question Vale needed. She could ask those questions on her own later.* "We- We don't have those kinds of rites. For Trill, death is not the end. Trax has moved on, and it took all of Jane's memories and experiences with him. We don't have ceremonies or long mourning rituals, because the trill need to move on. For us, it's easy to live in the past." *What a hypocrite, having giving this lecture with Pax - of all people - in the room.* "Then you forget to live in the present."

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 23-Oct-21 09:05 PM

*Ray put some more stuff on his plate from the table. A couple cookies, some brownie looking things, the good stuff. He put the plate down though and picked up another drink from the table. Still smelled a bit funny.*

*Maxwell nodded. Going from nothing to top in the class was indeed difficult.* "That is impressive for sure. That takes a lot."

Cmdr Vale Azoci 23-Oct-21 09:24 PM

“I… I understand i think…” *vale sighed.* “Betazoids tend to make a big thing about death… facing the pain till we come out the other side. It doesn’t always work as well as we want it to.” *Vale bit her lip and looked as if she was trying to focus.* “I’ll inform Dr Drex.” *Her face softened again though as much as the woman could manage.* “And Ezarah, thank you.” *Vale used the woman’s first name because she meant it. The short chat with information given and shared meant more than betazoid fussing over and in some isolated communities some creepy validation that can have a full village screaming in grief. Vale in situations like this preferred the quiet subtlety. The name was still spoken with respect maybe a little more than before.*

6

Captain Ezarah Ryn 23-Oct-21 09:40 PM

"Vale," *Ryn summoned her attention back, accepting the switch to their given names without protest.* "I'm sorry for your loss. In my experience, grief is for me. The person I lost gets to move onto the next life and they leave me behind. I mourn, not them." *Another moment of hypocrisy, from the person who had left Pax behind.* "Whether you mourn like a trill, human, or betazoid, you do what you need to do." (edited)

*After a while, Ray figured standing by himself by the table really wasn’t something he wanted to be doing. He really needed to just, take a minute. He crossed the hall, and made his way over to the bar. There were some people already there, and an empty seat next to one of the other officers.* “Sorry, this seat taken?” @Lt. JG Cerred King

Lt. JG Cerred King 23-Oct-21 09:44 PM

*Cerred looked over as he sipped his water, taking a bite out of a pepper. By now he's probably disturbed the bartender beyond recognition by just eating them like it's no big deal. He looked over when someone entered his peripheral and shrugged,* "Not at all. Cop a squat!"

[Sec.] Ensign Raymond Arkenholz BOT 23-Oct-21 09:54 PM

@Lt. JG Cerred King - jump *Ray slid the bag off his back and placed it at his feet. He slid onto the stool and put his hands on the bar.* “I think I might’ve seen you around the ship now and then. You’re . . . an officer, right?”

"Oh, well thank you sir for the offer." *Harry loosened up just a tad bit more, although he was quite confused how Kelenic knew his name. Maybe through some sort of list that he was on or maybe his name had been known, yet he knew little about James himself. It was probably just his little bit of paranoia hitting him, it had always helped him with his career as well as his childhood. But everything revolved around that didn't it. He really needed to speak to someone about that, maybe sooner rather than later. It could affect his overall performance sooner rather than later, that was shown with the incident in the armory. He had to be strong, everyone was too overwhelmed to deal with yet another loose end. Strength and repression of those weaknesses, that is the way he was taught, that is the way he will have to move forward.* (edited)

He breathed heavily through his nose.* "I did not think of that." *Ray ordered some Whiskey, or whatever other kind of alcohol they had on this ship and hung his head a bit.* "That would make things easier. Damn, now I gotta lug this thing around until I get back to the ship later. Might as well just sleep on the ship tonight and do a shift in the morning before I come back down."

Just feel a bit dumb that I didn't really think of that is all. Figured I was gonna have to spend shore leave down here the whole time."

*Ray spun the drink in his glass a bit.* "I suppose so. Could be fun, actually. I'll give it some thought." *Ray took another sip of his drink and looked at the other officer.* "What do you make of this place? Quite a sight."

Lt. JG Cerred King 24-Oct-21 01:10 AM

Thank you for the offer though.” *Oh boy, and now the mini remembering how alcoholism affected his family montage hits him since he isn’t all that unique when it comes to familial issues. He looked over to the arch for a moment before realizing that he was being a dumb ass with standing at attention. Knowing it was not officially protocol for him to break from standing at attention, he decided that this one time was that exact moment to do such a thing, so he relaxed.

Maybe trills were as capable of missing their loved ones gone as anyone else. Trax had seemed to give her that idea often spiking with grief that would never be resolved when other joined Trills were mentioned. And then she had a thought. What would happen when Trax met her again with another first name and looking so different. Would there be that grief? She had to let it go.

They stretched so high that the Cardassian would have to crane her neck to get a full image of them, but she restrained herself for the moment.* *As they walked deeper into the hall the Diplomat manipulated her posture and expression to exude a combination of professionalism and interest.* "I am with you, Lieutenant." *Miaska responded to the Dolhtehrun, keeping her head high and searching for the councilman's form.* (edited)

PO3 Harry Lynton 25-Oct-21 10:42 PM

"Well that is at least what I assume that what we will do within the Tactical division. It is pretty much all I have, so I have a responsibility to work hard everyday for my comrades."

[D] Lt. JG Talvek Kehron

*Instead Talvek turned to Se’ran, he wasn’t busy and would direct the whole attention to the group and not have competition.* “Greetings councilman Se’ran.” *He has remembered in the council grove that Chazen called him that. Waiting for Mia to join him he gave a bow before starting the conversation.* “We are honored that you have allowed us to marvel at this beautiful city.”

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 25-Oct-21 11:22 PM

*When Talvek changed course slightly, Sa'val pivoted and scanned the new heading carefully. He carefully scrutinized the members seated there, paying special attention to the normal locations for concealed weapons, and then watching their eyes. He spotted nothing overtly dangerous or even mildly threatening, so he turned his attention back to the surrounding Great Hall. He had already visually checked the most likely locations for a hidden sniper without any apparent success, though two Crewmen had decided to take refuge from public scrutiny in a hidden alcove up above. Certainly discussing the archetectual majesty present. A slight smirk as he continued to scan what appeared to be load bearing columns...apparently free of explosive devices. That was good. He continued to scan as he started walking a small circle through the crowd further away from his protectees. Caleb would continue to monitor for close protection, Sa'val believed he could at least trust him with that much. A sharp pang in the back of his mind chastised him for that mental barb. Clearly sporting that eye patch showed just how much Caleb had sacrificed for duty. Perhaps it showed it, but the old Irishman might only be able to see half of it. Sa'val shook his head at his own distasteful internal monolouge as he observed a doorway off the side leading to another room. An ambush location? Unlikely...but possible. It would not hurt to check it out. With one last glance in the direction of his protectees who were beginning a conversation with one of the Council, Sa'val proceeded. As he started in that direction Sa'val spotted someone familiar, he altered course slightly to walk over to where Harry was chatting with someone he didn't know. Sa'val walked up behind Harry and placed his hand on the young man's shoulder. He leaned over and spoke in a low voice.* "Good to see you enjoying yourself, Harry. You deserve it. You did outstanding work. Did Chief Grut ever get with you about the PO exam?"

PO3 Harry Lynton 25-Oct-21 11:50 PM

*As he had finished his sentence to James, the sudden placing of the hand on Harry’s shoulder was quite a surprise. He immediately turned his head around to see who it was. For a moment he thought that it was guard going to drag him away for some transgression that he has made. Or maybe it was one of his ensigns that had decided to chew him out for some offense that he had made. But then his face went pale for just a moment as it was Sa’val. What horrible thing had he done that had forced him to bring Sa’val here. But he seemed to calm down some as the first words out of his mouth were not angry ones but ones of a congratulatory idea. He then calmed down before turning around to face Sa’val, and of course he snapped to attention to give his commanding officer the respect that he deserved.* “Sir. Thank you sir, although I did not do all I could have on the cube. And the chief made some mention of the PO exam, although I am concerned about how quickly these exams are taking place sir.”

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 26-Oct-21 12:01 AM

*Sa'val shook his head and waved his free hand to instruct Harry to stand easy.* "Easy, Harry. We are in Civvies. As you were. We do not want them to know I hold a title of significance, now do we?" *Sa'val winked and offered a brief, private little smirk to Harry before replying to the rest of his concerns.* "You have to get used to trusting me when I say things, Harry. I happen to know a thing or two about Tactical, would you not agree? Your work on the Cube, not to spend too much time dwelling on that hellscape, was exemplary and I will not hear you saying a word against it. You did all that was asked of you and gave more than should have been required." *Sa'val raised an eyebrow.* "If you feel that you do not want the opportunity, we will put it off for a bit longer, but trust me, Lynton. I am an excellent judge of who would make a good LPO and you meet all of those qualifications. Still...do not worry about that now. Talk to Chief Grut...or come to me, even...in a few days when you return from Shore Leave. We will discuss it if you wish." *A strong pat on his opposite shoulder.*

*As the order was given to go at ease, Harry quickly complied like either a good dog or a robot would do. And sometimes he wondered if he was only good at those functions that he was given orders and to follow them. Although despite Sa’val looking very professional in his nice hand tailored suit, Harry looked like a very big sore thumb wearing his Starfleet dress uniform.* “Sir, on the cube I…I understand sir. I apologize for questioning your analysis of the events on the cube. I will try to keep that in mind for the future. Although sir, my main concern about the LPO is the time constraints normally one would face while looking for promotion. By starfleet regulations I should spend at least a year or two at Crewman First class in order to qualify for such a promotion, unless in circumstances requiring a rank up.” *Oh boy did Harry start to feel bad by the end of that statement as the strong pat was given to his other shoulder. Why the hell was he talking to his commanding officer about different work stuff while they were on shore leave again? At his old posting, that would have certainly gotten him into some deep shit in all due reality but he really didn’t know if he should apologize again and again. He knew it got exceeding used over time in order to just apologize all the time, so he decided to just wait for Sa’val’s response.*

*Sa'val offered a slight smile to Harry as he continued to meet the younger man's gaze. Another supportive squeeze of the shoulder as Sa'val replied, still in a low voice.* "Perhaps I am getting ahead of myself, but I still contend that you will make an exemplary Leading Petty Officer of any Division or Squad within Tactical. What I meant was that your next step to LPO will be Petty Officer Third Class...and believe it or not, we are two short months away from you reaching the six months time in grade to be eligible for promotion. You could take the test at any point. Doing so now will allow you to retake the test again in a month if you need to...or study and ace it the first time as I know you can do." "Either way...the choice is ultimately up to you. I just will not hear another word about you thinking you have not displayed the traits I know you possess. You have demonstrated a heroism and dedication to this ship and the Federation that has been surpassed by none. Do not forget that, Harry."

*Hearing such accolades for some reason absolutely shocked Harry, mainly since he had never really believed that some of his actions had been completely overshadowed by some of the biggest accomplishments of those around him. He had to stay shut up for a few moments, just having to think about what exactly to say, his internal battle between the ideas of accepting those facts and rejecting them as "just doing his duty". Although for this time, he decided to take a leap of faith and just go with whatever Sa'val was saying. It was a superior officer giving him such praise, meaning it had to be right, right?* "I...I will take the exam sir at the earlier convenience." *Harry was just so completely stunned to say anything else. Throughout his entire career and even throughout his entire life it had been a constant battle to finally be recognized for his actions. Nine times out of ten it was just straight neglect, although that one time out of ten was much more of a extremely minor praise. Just the simplistic "good uniform", although now it seemed that his work was finally being accepted for its worth. And that was such a culture shock for him, and he would need a little of time to finally comprehend it.*

Lt. Cmdr. Sa'val Stryker 26-Oct-21 09:30 AM

*Sa'val nodded and smiled his very slight smile at Harry. He retrieved his arm from around the young man's shoulder, but offered a good natured chuck on Harry's right arm as he did so.* "Whenever you feel up to it, Harry...but I know you will demonstrate an outstanding effort, as you have with everything else you have done with us here. I want you to keep enjoying your time off tonight, in fact I will stop bothering you and your friend here. Just wanted to stop and thank you for what you did out there. I do not expect you back aboard the ship until you have partied yourself out, understand?" *Sa'val offered a slight smirk to Harry before his face returned to the normal impassive appearance as he appraised both of the men.* "It was good to see you, Harry. Sharp looking uniform, incidentally. Would have worn mine if the Lady had not picked out this fancy suit. You two enjoy the rest of your evening. Good to see you, Ensign." *Sa'val nodded at the unknown Ensign and then turned and winked at Harry before retreating back into the crowd, scanning his surroundings once again as he made his way over to the entrance to the Dance Hall and slipped through it.*

The Cardassian was not disturbed by this fact, not did she feel any great sense of impatience building within. She'd spent a great deal of time with Vulcan's while she attended Starfleet, and she knew that their conversational cadence was quite different from other species.* *The Diplomat would pick her moment, and in the meantime observe the body language, however minimal, of their host.* (edited)

I don't know if I will be partying out sir, but I hope that you enjoy your evening sir." *As Sa'val began to walk away, Harry then took a deep sigh. But not one of relief but much more of one that was indicative of releasing some sort of stress. Mainly because he had been really concerned about how his performance on the cube. It had been something that he had started to even lose sleep over it. Although Sa'val had started to slowly release some of those issues, he still didn't feel like he had done enough. Especially since from what he could be told, Sa'val went down as well. And yet he didn't know that Sa'val was in a relationship, it was not really something that he really talked about on a normal basis So he turned around after Sa'val left to talk to James.* "He is a good Commanding officer to follow.
