Kyle, still slightly bemused by the sight of his CO in a swimsuit, just managed to side step to avoid colliding with Cadet Miya, also wearing a swimsuit, “Ahh Cadet,” he coughed awkwardly, “Just thought I’d pop by to offer my congratulations before I depart back to Earth.”

-Lieutenant Kyle Anders: Outgoing Chief of Security-

Miya skidded to a halt, thankful that the former Chief of Security had been able to avoid her. “Thank you, sir, even though I’m not due to graduate yet,” she felt compelled to admit. “Oh, and congratulations on your new posting.” Benem, Noah’s friend, was a security cadet and had told them about Lieutenant Anders’ imminent departure. She wondered if either Noah or Benem would be there for the graduation. She hadn’t seen them in ages.

Eric walked into the room containing his hot tub, easily navigating around the traffic jam at the entrance without paying to much attention. Normally a very social member of the crew, Eric was a bit uncomfortable with the guests and junior officers arriving to the hot tub. The last time there were junior officers in his hot tub, he was accused and investigated for murder… (OOC: Prior adventures on the Challenger!!)

Still feeling somewhat out-of-sorts, Eric took a nearby glass of champagne and headed over to where Davis was in the hot tub without actually getting in himself.

-Cmdr. Eric Holmman, XO

“Commander,” Alison said as she picked up her own glass of champagne. She had come in shortly after him, having nodded to Anders and Miya on her way past them. “So this is the infamous hot tub that I’ve heard much about.”

And indeed she had. Enough stories that even though she did enjoy the water, it made her hesitate enough about wanting to actually get in.

Lt Barr - CSO

Henry approached the door. He was not exactly sure how to handle himself, since from what he’d heard graduation was generally more of a ceremony. But this… was a hot tub. After hearing Davis’s announcement, he had eventually decided on a solid blue pair of swimsuit trunks, which he now wore below a casual black Starfleet t-shirt.

Passing Anders in the doorway with a nod, he stepped towards the hot tub, glancing at Cadet Ven Miya and actively trying not to stare. Blissfully unaware of any past murders, Rodier sat down on the edge, dangling his feet in the water.

Anders spoke up, “Well, I best be off, I’m heading back to Earth for a bit of shore leave before searching for joining my new assignment. It’s been an honour serving with you all,” he glanced at his successor with a grin, “Henry, keep the ship in order while I’m gone. I’ll be watching the Academy news reports for your latest exploits.” He gave a two fingered salute and left the room at a brisk jog.

The increasing amount of bodies moving around the room caused a disturbance in the Force enough for Emmy to open her eyes and she swiveled her body so that she was no longer floating in the middle of the tub, but primly sitting on one of the indentations designed for precisely that. She took a long, slow sip of the bubbly liquid that was perched on the deck of the hot tub beside her as she watched Holmman approach. “Not getting in, Commander?” she questioned, her tone so dry that it was impossible to determine if she was being humorous given his past adventure with the hot tub or simply making an observation about the current state of events.

“Miya!” called a voice as the doors closed yet again, Vanessa in a robe, towel draped over one arm entering the room. She patted the Bajoran woman’s shoulder. “I see you managed a glimpse of the hot tub,” she added with a smile. The counselor looked around, grinning sheepishly as she realized she was a little on the late side.

“Captain, Commander,” she greeted the command team, removing her robe and dropping it on a bench along one wall with her towel. Her emerald green one piece shimmered in the light, the straps crossing just below her shoulder blades. “This,” she groaned as she sank in the bubbles, “was an excellent idea, Captain.”

Lt. Cmdr. Lofton - CNS

Miya chuckled at the counsellor’s friendly greeting. “Just a glimpse, so far, but at least I know it really exists!” She was actually a little taken aback by the number of senior officers in attendance. Hopefully some of the graduating cadets would be along soon - she didn’t feel entirely comfortable about settling into the hot tub with everyone from the Captain down. Quietly, she drifted towards the bench where Vanessa had left her robe. She’d just hang around till some of the cadets joined the party ....
