Myrok entered the lounge A bit edgy but somewhat determined to become more a part of the crew. He understood his standoff character made him seem unapproachable. He saw an empty table near the back of the lounge and headed towards it, all the while noticing the looks and wondering among the others there. He arrived at the table and took his seat A server came to his side and inquired ” May I get you something Ensign?”although he was in a lounge he ordered ” Vulcan green tea hot please.” the server went off to retrieve his order. There was alto he was brooding over,his family,his place on this ship,his DH, his life in other places. He did not know how to share these things with others or if he honestly wished to but something deep within knew it was necessary. He gazed around and with A look of hesitancy took in his surroundings.

Chris was just having some breakfast going over some data on a PaDD that he had been studying extensively while he was in there. His food was currently half eaten and cold, but he continued to pick at it eating bits here and there. The only thing out of place was his cup of hot coffee. He was off in a corner of the room as to not disturb anyone else in the lounge, but had just decided to take a break from his work as he saw Myrok looking around. Chris shrugged and stood up, taking the PaDD with him. He felt like a break was definitely needed and picked up his coffee and headed over. Being somewhat informal, Chris called out as he approached, “Hey Myrok, how’s everything been going?”

Myrok looked up from his tea and saw or first heard the Lt.approaching. He turned towards him casually and replied ” My greetings to you Lt. Emmitt please won’t you join me for a bit?” He looked at the Chief Engineer up and down for a moment noticing his usual appearance and grinned internally ” I see your shirt is still untucked but you do look better shall I say than the last time I saw you in here. “

Chris looked down and around his waist, unaware that it was untucked this time, but sure enough the back, left side of his shirt was untucked. “Ah, so it is? Must have come untucked while I was reading .. and sure thing.” Chris pulled back one of the chairs and plopped himself down in it and set his coffee cup down on the table. “Acclimating to the Ark Angel well enough ..? It’s a pretty big ship, she’s pretty awesome though. Lots of neat stuff that she’s comprised of!”

Lt. (jg) Chris Emmitt (CE)

Myrok looked at him curiously for a moment noticing the comfort in which he took by his surroundings, he was no stranger to this he could tell and decided to be....more at ease himself, he placed his elbows on the table and sat a little less errect in his chair ” I would not use the word acclimate Lt. although I have noticed it is A rather large environment to say the least.” He struggled to maintain the unstatured posture” I would like to know from you what ..awesome stuff…she is comprised of?”

Ensign Myrok Scientist

Chris grinned widely at the question, but then almost like he was a child caught with his hand in the cookie jar, the grin turned into a small smirk. “Well .. what might be awesome to me, might not be awesome to you if that makes sense?” He scratched his cheek as his eyes drifted to the left, trying to pull a few things out of his mind. “A couple of things that might be interesting though are the six type VIII phaser arrays or the Flea’tan Compression Relay Jump Core Module .. that module is nothing short of awesome! Or, or, even the fact that we have both a Class 10 warp core and sensor system! Even her computer cores are equipped with bio-circuitry!” He digressed a little bit as he took a sip of his coffee. “There’s also some huge pools and a spa if you need to relax ..? Not many people seem to remember that part of the ship aside from any civilians or diplomats that we might be transporting. Always a good place to go if you want to wind down.”

Myrok was really uncomfortable sitting the way he was so he chose to lean back in his chair, he looked around and noticed a lounge guest also leaning back in his chair and laughing, ok Myrok would attempt this he thought chuckling in a low tone he directed his gaze toward the Lt.” That’s all sounds very interesting Lt.Emmitt please tell me more I am extremely interested in learning more about the comings and goings of.....the females aboard I hear that most do not mind the occasional Vulcan or Andorian or other species inquiring about themselves…i mean theoretically speaking.” He shifted his weight in the chair all the while looking like a fish out of water.

Chris could help but smirk at both his question and his awkward positioning before he couldn’t hold it back anymore and laughed a bit. “Myrok you gotta relax, you look a little tightly wound up.” He scooted forward a bit more in chair and leaned back in a more casual kind of sitting. “The only trick to being comfortable in a chair is just finding out what works best for you, though I think you’re probably just trying to keep your back too straight, let the chair do the supporting for you, it’s not gonna go anywhere. Well, as long as you don’t lean too far back.” As the waiter passed around behind him he turned for a moment. “Ooo, excuse me!” The waiter turned taking notice of him. “Could I get another cup of coffee please?” The waited nodded and headed off, presumably to get the requested item before Chris relaxed in the chair again. He scratched his head for a moment, thinking about the Ensigns other question. “Well, I suppose it depends on what kind of person you are?” Chris was pretty sure he was misunderstanding the question, but was still going to do his best to answer. “I’m usually an open book to any kind of question .. I wouldn’t have any issues if a female of any species were to ask me about myself. Most of them are pretty interesting, a Chief I used to work for on another vessel was Vulcan. Odd personality, but she seemed to always be curious about things so she would always ask me questions about humans and what it’s like being human, and how I bother with emotions, y’know, stuff like that. We’re probably super weird to you guys, right?”

Lt. (jg) Chris Emmitt (CE)

Myrok sat up in his chair no longer trying to pretend, he knew he was being a fool. He looked at the chief with a bit of trust and curiosity” I appreciate your ability to see through me. I have been …what you would call…a jerk. But I will request some guidance or advice, if you will on some things that is if you do not mind sir?”

Ensign Myrok Scientist

He held up his hand and shook his head dismissively, “Don’t worry, it happens to all of us. I’ve been known to go off the deep end sometimes myself .. especially when things aren’t working the way they’re supposed to in Engineering .. or especially when the Starbase repair technicians want to get their hands on this ship. They don’t know the first thing about her and want to basically tear her inside out in order to repair something!” He frowned slightly, but shook his head again, getting back on track. “So don’t worry about being a little cross every now and then. As for advice or guidance, I don’t really know how good it will be, but I can give you an unbiased suggestion to hopefully help? Feel free to ask away!” The waiter came back with the cup of coffee and placed it down in front of Chris before walking away. “Ah Thank yo-..” It seems he didn’t even hear Chris, but he just shrugged, slid the cup to the side and waited for Myrok to speak before anything else.
