P’Mala finished hanging the replicated banner that said TALENT NIGHT across the back wall of the small stage she’d set up in the corner of Nine Forward, distanced from the bar and many of the other seating areas.

She’d usually never do anything like this–set up a public event–but this was an exception–the original idea for the crew showcase had been NE Nurse Liu’s project, but she’d came down with the Bolian flu while visiting her husband’s folks, and was in quarantine on a Starbase for another week or two.

P’Mala had no clue who’d signed up when–but she expected to run it like an open mic. Some N-crew had already came over to the area and signed up for performances, and the show looked pretty diverse: Klingon opera, jazz trombone, Risan harp, another Vic Fontaine impersonation act.

One of the Nine Forward staff came by with a replicated platter of assorted finger foods and a keg of cider, but the full bar was open. P’Mala set up a recording device and hoped things would go well enough to send NE Nurse Liu a couple videos to cheer her up later.

Aaron enters the nine Forward with a rectangle suitcase hanging under his arm. He was still in uniform, but the vest was fully opened and his beard wasn’t cut, giving him a more eased look. He saw P’Mala who was looking around the room, and he approached her with a smile.

“Finishing the decoration ?”, says the Lieutenant. “I heard it was your idea to host a talent show.”

P’Mala held a clipboard and was looking around the room absent-mindedly until a bearded guy in Science Officer uniform came toward her. She startled a little, squinted at him.

“Oh, Lieutenant Williams! Aaron, I mean.” P’Mala said. “I didn’t recognize you for a second–how are you? For the record, this was NE Nurse Liu’s idea, but I offered to take over the event–she was so excited to be here–and I couldn’t really say no to her. ”
Aaron put a thumb in the air and says: Well, I think it’s a great idea! An excellent opportunity to better exchange with the rest of the crew.”

She noticed the Lieutenant carried a case. “Are you interested in signing up? We still have quite a few spots open, and the clipboard is at the table up front.”

Aaron gave a smile before saying: “If you think I would have missed an opportunity to show my talent, then you are missed. I already registered before coming here.” He tapped a bit on his case, quite impatient to play. “I’ve been training since the Academy, and I have yet to perform in public. We’ll see how it goes !”

There was talk of a talent show happening in Nine Forward. Pilar had never actually seen or participated in one but she had read about them when she studied human history at the Academy. She had learned the event was something humans invented to display their specific talents. There were some in which the contestants competed against one another for a substantial prize of some sort and some in which they just performed for the audience to receive praise and recognition relating to their talent. She was intrigued and headed to the lounge so she could get a good seat. As she walked into Nine Forward, she saw P’Mala and Lieutenant Williams engaged in conversation. After admiring the decorations, she headed to the bar, ordered a Saurian Brandy, then found the perfect seat in the front and close to the stage.

Halcyone

P’Mala waved at the Counselor from where she stood with Lt. Williams. She’d have to say hello shortly, when she had a moment’s time.

Pilar grinned at the doctor. She waved back at her as she stood and walked toward the two of them, drink in hand.

Looking at where P’Mala waved, Aaron saw Halcyone has arrived too, but apart from them, the room was yet to be filled. “Seems like the others didn’t arrive yet.”

Lieutenant JG Aaron Williams - CSO

“Doctor, Lieutenant,” she said presenting a smile to both of them.
Noticing Williams’ case, she looked at him and said, “I am intrigued. Are you going to tell us what talent you will be displaying for us or do we just have to wait and see?”

Cadet Baptiste was exhausted, he had just spent five hours in intensive surgery to fix NE Caiden’s left hand and forearm. NE Caiden had been working on one of the shuttle craft when the hatch had suddenly come down on his hand and forearm, creating an immediate acute compartment syndrome situation. He had been immediately beamed to sick bay where Cadet Baptiste was pulling the watch and was the primary surgeon on duty. Now five hours later and exhausted, with his patient recuperating and resting comfortably, Baptiste made his way to the Nine Forward Lounge for a small bite to eat and drink before retiring to his quarters.
