: : : : : : : : : : : : Elias has noticed the young science officer enter the room and the despite the fact she was in his department she hadn't really got to know her so went over to chat to her walking over he stopped behing the stool next to hers and said "Excuse me Ensign is this seat taken?"

: : : : : : : : : : : As she stood by the bar sipping at her drink, Turk couldn't help but notice the attention she was receiving. For Nerissa it was nothing unsual, but the Turk symbiont had always had a male host and it was very different being joined with a young woman. She smiled warmly as a man whom she hadn't met yet approached. It took a minute for her to place the face, but she quickly recognized him as her DH. Sometimes it was useful to nose around the ship's roster.
: : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : "No sir, please join me." She said. "I don't believe we have met yet. I'm Nerissa Turk."
: : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : She wasn't sure how formal he was as a DH, if he wanted to call her by her first name she would have no issue with it. But as the Junior Officer she didn't feel it was her place to say such.

: : : : : : : : : Kendra downed the last of her champagne and then grabbed another. She would have to be slow with this one. Ever since she got over her addiction to painkillers, she had been caregul with anything she consumed, worried that the addiction waited in the shadows to strike again. The music was getting peppy and she wished she had someone to dance with. As a kid, her mother had taught all the children how to dance. Kendra and her older brother Everett had been the best and often practiced new moves together. She missed him and wondered how he was enjoying being Governor of OED V, way off in Fleet six territory.

: : : : : : : : "Care for a quick turn Lieutenant Abbott?" she heard the voice behind her. Beckett stood at attention holding out his hand palm up . shrugging he said ."It seems we're both without a partner and it seems a shame to waste a perfectly good song."
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : Ensign Beckett sec.
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : "It would be an honor." Kendra nodded as she took hold of his hand. There was nothing wrong with dancing with a JO, as long as they kept things informal. For that reason she received her hand from his palm as soon they hit the dance floor. She started to dance the Andorian Slide along to the peppy music.

: : : : : : : Lt. Abbott
: : : : : :
: : : : : : Beckett ,as was proper, stood only close enough to his chief to actually be able to hold her hands. He smiled as she started to dance. "I see you've danced in more than one place or two ."He said with a grin. "Are you used to leading as well ?" It was something that he couldn't keep contained . Sometimes jokes like that just slipped out.
: : : : : :
: : : : : : Ensign Beckett sec.
: : : : :
: : : : : Kendra truly laughed as she threw her head back and laughed, her laugh coming out like merry bells. "I think you are more amusing than you let on. I think we will get along really well, Ensign Beckett."

: : : : OOC: Just a note that Thomas tried to change this after we talked. This can't be post-sim. You can make it in whatever alternative timeline where you wave a magic wand and pretend you were all already there, but no threads can be post-sim right now. There's a very good reason for this which you'll understand very soon. :) If you can adjust the thread accordingly, that would be great. I'd do it but I don't want people to miss this note.

: : OOC: Does anyone get a bad feeling from that ominous bit of news? lol

: : Turk

: OOC: Yep. When a GM makes a statement like that, it's better to run away fast and quick instead of finding out. But I think I can make a fair guess as to what is going to happen by using my STF experience powers. If you want to know, please mail me a money order for 20.00!

: "Or what, Ensign?" Lt. Abbott asked curiously. "Is this how you envisioned your first post in the main fleet, to be dancing with your department head to some jazzy music? My first department head on the Academy Ship I served on, was nice enough, but I don't think we would be dancing. I still have the golden phaser decoration he gave me though."

There were several things which came to Becketts's mind as an answer , but he wasn't sure of his boss' sense of humor yet. "No actually I had little in the way of expectations." He said. "I've come to find that if you expect very little you'll either be proven correct or be pleasantly surprised. It makes life a hapier place that way."
