It was a few days before the call from Starfleet came in to the Athena to go on another mission, and Luka had realized she hadn’t really met many of the ship’s junior officers. She quietly remembered how the XO of the Killian had made an effort to get to know at least a few of the Junior officers aboard the ship, so she began to get preparations made. She selected about twenty junior officers at random and sent out an invitation, inviting them to lunch in one of the smaller dining halls on the ship.

To each of the JOs that she invited, she sent a short message detailing the event - the dress-code was casual, and they were encouraged to wear whatever was comfortable. No uniforms allowed.

Luj put down the book and massaged his temples, letting out a little sigh. “Damn,” he muttered to the empty room. “Smart man, but a dry read.” The invitation from the XO beeped on his computer and he scanned the text. “Hmm. That sounds like fun.”

On the day of, she waited in the small dining hall, pacing slightly in worry. There was a jukebox playing music in the corner, and just behind a door was the meal for the small lunch, a make-your-own sandwich set-up.

OOC: the invites list is basically every JO that is played by someone on the ship.

He grabbed his Academy Springball jersey, then decided that may be a little /too/ casual. Instead, he picked a more appropriate shirt and put it on before heading out.

Upon entering the dining room, he looked around, nodding in silent approval. Spotting the XO, he walked over to introduce himself.

“Commander? Ensign Caser. Luj to my friends,” he said with a jovial smile before extending his hand.

The XO notably did not extend her hand in return, placing her hand on her chest and bowing slightly to the Ensign. “Thank you for coming,” she spoke, careful not to smile too widely. The teeth did cause fright for some individuals. It was immediately apparent that Luka was not the average executive officer. Luka was an alien known as a Laleri, and looked much like a bipedal wolf, with silver and white fur and bright amber eyes. She wore a forest green t-shirt and grey trousers, and was quite short for her race at just over 6 feet tall. Ensign Caser might not know that, but it was regular for those of her race to be at least seven feet tall.

What was also apparent as she placed her hand on her chest was that Luka did not have a hand that was particularly suitable for handshakes. Three fingers and a thumb as opposed to four, and her fingers were longer and wider than those of a human. They were covered in fur, and tipped with claws.

“I am Commander Luka. When we are on duty, you will call me Commander, but tonight you may call me Luka,” she spoke with a small nod.

Luka, XO

Karina was pacing her room for the umpteenth time when the message bell alerted her to the XO’s invitation. She had been forbidden from working over her own initial shift times, by the Councillor. She was supposed to stop being a workaholic but had already used up her allotment of holodeck time for the day. Days off were the worst. Too much time to … well to do nothing. “Well, this should prove interesting.” She went to put on a pair of deep blue slacks with a slightly brighter shade of blue tunic top. The brunette then plaited her hair till it fell in a braided tail down her back. Slipping her feet into soft sided black ankle boots, she donned a couple gold bangles for her wrists and a matching necklace before departing her quarters and heading for the location in the missive.

She came in as the two were exchanging pleasantries. As a medical technician, she was aware of the XO’s uniqueness. She was fascinated but had never figured out a legitimate way to seek out one on one time with the woman to get to know her. When the two were done, she smiled, “Ma’am, Ensign Karina Niles. Thank you for the invitation.”
