With everything she had ordered for herself and the coffee for Faye on the tray, Kiama made her way back to their table. After handing the coffee to Fay, she settled back down on her chair and gave a small shrug. “We do,” she grinned, “And I’m not gong to eat the ice cream at the same time as the soup. But it’s a perfect dessert and I like a slightly sweet drink with hearty and or savoury food.” She then looked from Shon to Faye and said, “Enjoy your lunch!” Breaking of a small piece of the biscuit, she popped it into her mouth before starting on the soup.

Shon had barely eaten since the incident the day before. Ordering the lemon squares had largely been a symbolic gesture. But now, watching Kiama dig in… well, his empty stomach started to catch up with him. Shon rose from his seat and returned a moment later with a large bowl of clam chowder (his personal favorite).

“Soup seemed like a good idea,” he said as he sat back down. He took a bite and chewed it slowly before swallowing. Then, having lost his patience for manners, he began scooping the thick liquid into his mouth by the spoonful, obviously attempting to sate his starvation.

“Soup is always good,” Faye said with a nod. “Nothing better than a well-made one, in my opinion.” She lifted her hasperat. “Unless it proper hasperat. This one will undoubtedly be a poor substitute, but I’m used to the replicator being just okay,” she said with a brief grin before taking a bite. And as expected it was just that little bit off and there was no help for it unless she opted to make it herself.

Kaia traipsed into the Lounge and clambered onto a chair with the small group that had formed. “Hey,” she said with a small smile to the group. She cradled her formerly broken arm, treating it with caution. She was still amazed that her arm had healed up so nicely. Of course, this kind of technology existed all over, but she’d never had a broken bone to have it work on. “Hey, Shon. Hi, Faye. Good to see you, Kaiama.”

Shon nodded and smiled at Kaia, then pushed the plate of lemon squares in her direction. “Wow, look at us. Quite a few bumps and bruises split between us. I gotta admit, I kinda expected my first service-related injury to be on an away mission. I’m not sure if ‘holo-deck accident’ is better or worse.” He gulped down another spoonful of chowder. “How’s your arm Kaia? I saw you came into sick bay for it, but I never got the story of what happened.”

“Ah, engineering accident,” Kaia smiled sheepishly, reaching for a lemon square and considering it carefully. She didn’t know what had happened to the others, although clearly it involved a holodeck. “While you guys were…” she paused, giving a questioning glance. “Fooling around in the Holodeck, I was scrambling around in the Jeffries Tubes. Got a little to eager crossing a gap and lost my grip,” she didn’t mention the fact that her fall had been caused by a slight malfunction of her prosthetic arm. It hadn’t expressed proper grip strength and she’d been sent tumbling down. “All I did was break the arm, but it still sucks. What did you guys do in the Holodeck?”

She put the lemon square on the table and quietly flexed her artificial fingers, giving Kiama a short glance. “How much fiber is in this thing?” The small officer asked, once again considering the treat.
