V’alura thought about sending out an email chain but figured everyone’s consoles were teeming with other far more important messages. So she relied on word of mouth to send the message along. Yeomen and civilians got the word around to everyone they passed by: meet up in two days at the Starlight Bar at 2100 Starship time. Which worked out roughly 2000 Starbase time. And V’alura was buying the first round of drinks to every crewman that showed up. The Starlight Bar was a classy lounge. With black walls and floors, chromatic tables and chairs and gleaming neon blue lights. There was a giant skylight in the ceiling that revealed the starry sky above. V’alura arranged for a side room to be reserved for the Ark Angel crew and arrived first to make sure all was in order.

She wore civilian clothes. A cropped pale orange jacket with deep v-neck and high-waist white pants with a scalloped trim along the the top and pants bottoms. V’alura ordered herself a glass of Syrah and sat back to wait for the rest to arrive. They all deserve a night of fun and relaxation.

One of the first pair of non-NEs to arrive was Fleet Captain Andone.....who it seems had just gotten a promotion! As she was sporting Commodore pips now. OOC: [img]https://www.star-fleet.com/images/ranks/2400-complete/naval-gold/r-a1.png[/img] by her side was her young 13 year old teenage half-human/romulan daughter Tel’eck. Who was wearing a simple grey-white pin stripe jump suit. Under Drudoc’s arms was a pouch which inside seemed to be several boxes of some kind. Tel’eck in turn was carrying a small satchel of her own which contained plastic see through containers of food. She was quick to disengage herself from her mother at the woman’s nod and move over to the serving table to place a variety of smoked meat, fruit and cheese platters.

Turning after watching her daughter run off to join some other NE children already present, Drudoc came over to V’alura. “..Greetings Ensign, I trust all is well?” She inquired.

V’alura saw her captain enter and her eyes lit up at the new Commodore pips. “Congrats on the promotion!” V’alura crowed, “All’s well with me. Glad you could make it. Want some wine?” She motioned with her glass towards the bar counter were several bottles and long-stemmed glasses waited. Across the room there was a similar set up but for non-alcoholic drinks.

”..A little wine would not hurt, sure. Thank you for the congratulations then too. I was quite surprised myself.” Drudoc replied.

V’alura grinned over the rim of her glass, “As my momma liked to say, never drink until you’ve earned it. And I dare say we’ve earned it.”

Tel’eck meanwhile was doing her usual best to entertain the younger children with stories and games.

Masi had returned to starbase to join the party and meet her new Captain. She entered the bar and looked around for a moment, and finding someone wearing Commodore pips, she wasn’t quite sure if this was a flag officer assigned to the starbase or the ship’s CO. Though she had heard the Captain had recently been promoted. She approached and asked “Excuse me, are you Captain Andone?”

Drudoc turned sipping her small wine glass, “..Yes I am she. Can I help you Commander?” She asked politely.

Drudoc Andone CO

Masi smiled extremely broadly. “Hello Captain. I am Lieutenant Commander Masi Dirida, your new first officer.” She extended her hand to the Captain.

Since their illustrious captain was now occupied, V’alura stood to greet the arriving crew of the Ark Angel and direct everyone to the appropriate drink tables or servers. Meeting and greeting was practically sport for V’alura. Always ready with a pretty smile or gracious greeting, she knew when to laugh at jokes, and the perfect volume to laugh at. She had nearly a million anecdotes ready to regale and a sixth sense for finding wall-flowers to lure into fun. Yes, parties were sport for V’alura and she a professional player.

”..Good to meet you then Commander, you got here just in time to begin our festivities after our last harrowing mission. Did you get the debrief?” She inquired sipping the wine again.

Drudoc Andone CO

“I did not, though I did hear that it earned you a promotion. My congratulations.” Masi seemed like a distinctly cheery individual and a very keen officer. She hoped her eager demeanor wasn’t offputting but she couldn’t exactly help it.

-XO
