“I’m pleased to meet you as well,” Luka said, turning to the man and giving a slight bow. “I’m Commander Lukagu, Executive Officer of the Athena, but we’re not in uniform so you can call me Luka. I’m a new arrival as well.” She tilted her head slightly. “I’ve heard of humans, myself, but I’m sorry to admit that you’re not the first one I’ve met, so… not as exciting. I’m sure oodles of papers about your species are read on my planet though.”

He let out a deep chuckle, a pleasant sound. “Touché” he said. He had known Ghubari had to get a new XO after the last mission, but he hadn’t known who it was. It was lucky though that it was Lukagu though, they had never met in command training as he had finished his probably way before she had started.

“What I am curious about is, what was the paper about?” she asked, grabbing a cup and pouring the doctor some punch, then handing him the cup as she slowly wandered towards some seating, assuming he would follow.

Luka, XO

He did follow, walking easily beside her with his glass. “It was just a general quite basic species assessment. Honestly it raised more questions than it answered.” he said. It really wasn’t a good idea for him to engage into a deeper conversation with the XO, so he kept standing.

“Anyway, I don’t want to bother you with medical stuff. Enjoy the evening.” he said and added “Commander”, underlining their difference in rank intentionally.

OOC Recombining posts.

Orvos meandered his way in, attempting the subtle route. However, anyone who knew him, knew he was anything but subtle.

Events like this were pretty easy going. He kept his devices in his quarters while he went about his business. He quietly slid past other officers and grabbed a drink. The punch was well enough, but he was in the mood for some fun. He, of course, perfectly understood that the fun would come after the ceremony, but part of having fun was that it was sometimes unplanned.

He then quietly took his drink up to 17-Forward and the recreation hall. The barman would know him and help him out with some of that. He had swung a shift here and there as a tender, so they would know of him. He also kept a computer chip ready in his pocket to be handed off at the appropriate time for those who needed the surprise.

And yes, anyone who knew him, knew he was being awfully too quiet…especially with the grin that was spread wide-eagled across his face.

Jayden made his way to 17/18 forward after his shift in engineering. Having spent the last couple hours working on the impulse relays, he was glad to have some time off. He grabbed a beer from the barman then looked around. Finding his chief he made his way to him.

Orvos had been talking to some young man. A chip was handed off. And then the young man departed leaving Orvos to turn around and find himself face to face with his assistant engineer.

“Afternoon Chief.” Jayden greeted as he approached. “You look happy, what’s going on?” He asked.

OOC: Pasting Dan back in.

Dan walked in to the room wearing his dress uniform. Dan wasn’t sure what to do now that he was here. Dan looked around hoping to see a familiar face.

Ensign Dan Jones (Scientist)

Behind him, Janna slipped in, eager to see the crew together again and in a much better situation than the last time. Her demeanour was quieter than usual, but she still tried to smile. “Find comfort in your uniform, do you?” she asked Jones, gazing at him curiously as she came to stand beside him. Everyone else had opted to take the captain up on the chance to not wear their uniform, but that didn’t mean she had banned it.

~Janna Kingston, ACNS

Orvos tried subduing his grin just a bit. “Just glad to be relaxing Jayden. How was engineering when you left her?” he asked, hoping to talk about something other than what the engineer may or may not have seen.

Stark walked in wearing his customary “dress uniform” of dark leather jerkin and pants that enabled him to look respectable but at the same time armoured in case of trouble. S’Raal and T’Pon came in with him, S’Raal wearing the same as Stark but in brown suede. T’Pon was quite obviously pregnant now and her floor length leather overcoat had been altered to accentuate the fact, she was most definitely a proud mother and glowed as mothers tend to do. S’Raal and T’Pon moved off and started arguing slightly over the fact that S’Raal wanted T’Pon to sit down and T’Pon rather indignantly thought that it wasn’t necessary.

Stark grinned slightly at the banter, it was good to hear that again after all they’d been through. He smelt Laraan before he saw her, her diminutive stature making her hard to see in a crowd. Purposefully he walked in her direction and the crowd melted before his path, such was the intensity of his purpose. He saw her next to the Captain and was transfixed. Nodding to the Captain he looked at his powerhouse of a wife and then turned to the Captain speaking from the heart but with a slightly sardonic overtone. “She has absolutely no idea what affect she has on people does she”.

Grinning slightly he looked at the Captain’s attire and sighed, “Why must there always be dancing at these functions?” Then he relented “Don’t mind me, enjoy”.

Stark Nightstalker CIO

Orvos could sense the CIO’s presence as he and his family entered 18-Forward. Chatting with Laraan and the Captain. Good on him.

Laraan could feel his energy behind her before she heard his voice and turned around, beaming at him. “Sweetie, there you are.” she said and took a hold of his furry paw, eager to feel his touch again as always, their energies mixing like age-old friends. “I have to admit I am curious to see you… dance, with the Captain.” she sang, a very bemused smile on her face.

• Laraan, CNS

Stark wrapped his tail up and around her waist briefly and then grinned. “Ghubari is just sad that the last time I “danced” it was with the Borg Queen. You see the only true dance my people embrace is the dance of death”.

His eyes darkened briefly at the memory and then the light resurfaced and he continued “However I have shown I am now ready to try some new things… like marriage” he chuckled “Who saw that coming”. He smiled again looking happy for the first time in decades.

-Jay

Orvos then led Jayden with him over to the bar as he grabbed another drink.

Kaylee walked through the doors, taking a pause just inside the room to observe. Her blonde hair was as usual in its high ponytail. Her dress was black, one shouldered and came to just above the knee. She wore strappy black stilettos, and a large strand of black pearls around her neck.

She walked over to Jayden and Ovros at the bar, giving a nod to Ghubari, Laraan and S’Raal as she passed. Sliding her way in between the two men, she signaled the bartender for a beverage.

She looked at Jayden and Ovros. “Gentlemen,” She said, smiling. The bartender handed her a very large glass of red wine. “Cheers!” She said, holding her glass aloft towards the two men.

-Kaylee Baxter

Orvos grinned as he lifted his own drink. “To merry times!” he stated as he took a swig. Orvos gestured to Jayden. “Kaylee Baxter, I’m not sure you’ve been introduced to my junior engineer, Mr. Jayden Bennett. Jayden, this is Kaylee Baxter, our Chief Diplomatic Officer.”

Orvos was aware of Kaylee’s and Jayden’s personality. Seeing the two mix…well…he would sit there for that.

Isabel took her time getting ready. Her mother would have been proud to see her stroll into the 18 Forward Lounge decked up like a princess. Her dress though seemingly covered in feathers of pale blue and crystals was deceptively light. Her hair, growing longer every day was now past her shoulder blades in length. She had styled it carefully into a tame fountain of fat auburn curls collected and displayed over one shoulder and pinned in place with a crystal hair clip that matched the crystals at her shoulders. She even wore heels for the occasion, wanting to be taller than she was normally.

She seemed confident and happy as she walked into the Lounge, at home in the dress as she was with her uniform or her hand knit bulky Irish sweaters. Apparently a young Engineering Ensign had been waiting on her to arrive. He walked up to her, considerably more nervous and after a brief exchange, they moved to the dance floor and began to dance the waltz. He didn’t do too badly, but she positively glided across the floor. Growing up with as many brothers, she had had many a day where she was the dance follow because they needed to learn to dance. Her mother had been insistent they all learn.

OOC: Izzys Dress: https://i.imgur.com/FfepKzb.jpg (Woops Wrong link last time, this is the correct one)

Orvos noted how Isabel glided so well in her dance. She was quite prettily dressed as well. Her dress looked reminiscent of other wedding dresses he had seen. He wasn’t one to assume, but if he had been her father, he certainly would be proud of her. He turned back to the two next to him as they continued their conversation. He was always looking for an out, so he allowed the two to get involved in conversation before he slipped away to check on some other things.

Stark Nightstalker CIO

Parties weren’t really R’han’s thing, as there were too many people for him to track comfortably thus giving them a tactical advantage he didn’t care for. On the other hand people were likely to be drinking and they might reveal secrets that they wouldn’t normally discuss. An excellent intelligence gathering moment. R’han was dressed in a brown grey suit of a bumpy fabric with a bright teal wide sash from shoulder to waist.

He looked about the crowd for a moment seeing how attractively garbed the crew was… particularly the females… Hmm… he thought to himself and reached out for an alcoholic drink… “Perhaps they won’t be the only ones revealing secrets tonight.”

R’han

Konral arrived wear a sleek white suite with black shirt and white tie as he looked around. He knew Ghubari had to be hear, he presence was close and she had to make all the plans and set this all up. Noticing R’Han he came up to him putting a hand on his shoulder. “Nice for us to not be in a trench for once.” he said with a smirk as he scanned the room some more. “I might need something strong, I can’t beleive I agreed to Ghubari wanting me to play again with her.” he said as he found a drink to as he downed it.
