Claude turned to look towards the non-working replicator. A necessity for sure. “Well once it’s activated I’m sure I will need to tweak the pea soup recipe. It’s never as good as to what I could get at home. It’s a small comfort.”

Riley grinned. “Nothing ever is exactly right. I love a good pea soup, so I can’t wait to try yours out.”

“Science as well, Matthew. Or do you prefer Matt?” Claude inquired. It is always good to get off on the right foot with anyone, most especially one whom you will be living with. “I saw on the ship’s roster that our department head is new as well.”

“So, you stated you have been aboard a few days. What’s your take on the ship? What is she like…generally?”

  • Ens. Genard

“Please, call me Matthew,” he replied with a smile, and then nodded. “Yeah, Lieutenant Fayth was just promoted to the role. She’s a very direct woman, but friendly. Specializes in botany and biology. I think she’ll be good to work under.”

He exhaled slowly, chewing on his lip as he considered the second question. “Well… the Angel is big. The boss told me to add 10 minutes to however long I might think it will take to get anywhere, and she’s not wrong. Other than that…” He shrugged and gave a wry grin. “Haven’t really had the chance to do that much yet. Checked in with the loot, the doc, and the counselor, and started a project for the boss.”

His eyes suddenly widened and shone, and his voice was higher pitched. “Oh, but the science labs. Hands down the best I’ve ever seen.”

  • Ensign Riley, Science

“Thank you for that tip about the walking time. I figured as much with a ship this big.” He added with a smile. “Speaking of the labs, I better check in with Lieutenant Fayth myself sometime today. But first, I need to unpack and put a few things away. Besides, I’ve been on a transport for a few days with not a lot of walking room and I could use a bit on my feet stretching my legs.”

Claude crossed to his side of the room and started to unpack his duffel. “What about yourself? Where are you from, besides Terra?”

  • Ens. Genard.

He pointed to the replicator again. “With that down, you can grab a bite in the lounge - 17/18 Forward. Now,” he held up both hands, palms out, with a grin, “I know this won’t make sense, but the quickest way I’ve found is to head aft from here. That turbolift is further than the forward one from here, but it gets you there faster, but still plenty of walking time. I’m guessing the way the lift network is setup.”

Riley spun his stylus in his right hand. “I’m originally from St. Louis, Missouri, in North America. Haven’t actually been there for… a while actually.” He paused, seemingly surprised by that information. “My folks live in San Francisco now. Moved there when I started the Academy.”

He laughed again. “Got tired of only seeing me once or twice a year on university holidays, I guess.”

Claude was fumbling with something in his duffel while Matthew spoke. Finally extracting a parcel wrapped in a tunic. He laid it gently on the bed.
With a finger he pointed to himself, “Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, South of Quebec City. Near Lake Champlain. I was there visiting family just before my assignment here.”
“I hear that Saint Louis is famous for its beef ribs. I’m sure that is something you will be tweaking in the replicator.”
