She sat in her quarters and sighed again. This was twice that ‘time’ had stolen her ship and threatened the lives of those she had come to care about as family. On the station, realizing the Athena may never come back, Karina had mourned and wept. The Medical Chief, Grey, had been nearer and dearer to her heart than most. And here she had almost lost him twice. It galled her that she hadn’t gotten to know him and pluck his head for knowledge like she had promised after the last fiasco.
Getting up and tapping the console on her desk, she found out where the Doctor was. Realizing it was after dinner time, she had a feeling that knotted her gut, that if she didn’t seek him out tonight, she would push it off again. And she doubted Fate would grant her a third chance.
She took off for his location wearing her black ankle boots, deep green leggings and a slightly lighter green tunic top that came down to her hips in the front and swept down and back to cover her bottom in the back. She was freshly showered so her hair was brushed out but still damp and she wore no makeup, no jewelry. She hadn’t ‘planned’ to leave her room. But if anything, she had learned to start listening to her gut. And this time, she was going to.
Ensign Karina Niles
DoctorA dark shadow materialized on her left and matched her stride. “Good to see you back Ensign Niles, you’re looking very “purposeful” this evening”.

Stark’s arrival had startled Karina. “Thank you Commander,” she smiled. “It’s good to be back. I’m actually heading to the the Medical Chief. How is your evening going?” She slowed her pace slightly to be polite as she kept on her way.

DocNightstalker would be aware that the Medical Chief was most likely eating his supper in the Mess at this hour. His inquisitiveness would also be aware he usually sat near the viewport in the far corner.

“As well as can be expected,” Stark said with a wan smile, “A ship of this size makes keeping your paw on the pulse extremely difficult, I used to meet people at the shuttle bay but these days I have to run myself ragged all over the show just to track down the newbies”.
“If you’re looking for Dr. Grey, usually at this time he eats supper in the Mess, ” Stark raised an eyebrow, “Intent on snagging the one who got away?”.

Karina looked away down the hall. “I don’t know what you mean,” but she blushed clear to her toes. She had been sure no one had noticed. Grey wasn’t interested, she was pretty sure, so she hadn’t pursued it.
“Thank you for the info on the Doc, though. I appreciate it.” She smiled back but didn’t meet his eyes again. “Sorry you have to trudge around looking for folks all the time.” She laughed. “If you ever need me, let me know. I’ll be happy to meet you in the shuttle bay. How’s that?” She was trying to change the subject, but now he had turned her mind even more on the focus of her walk this evening.

DoctorStark smiled, “I appreciate that, and if you ever want some upskilling in the arts of keeping a poker face I’d be more than happy to teach you,” he paused and for a brief moment his hard dark eyes softened, “On second thought, don’t change, you’re great just the way you are”.
With a wave of his tail, he disappeared down a nearby Jeffries tube.

As he disappeared, she blushed again. It was good to be home again. On the station, hearing and seeing the ship was ‘gone’ had been a punch to her gut she wasn’t sure she’d get past. But in searching for the ship she had made new friends. And now, seeing them all together, old and new… it was worth it. Well, maybe just this once.
She continued on till she reached the mess. Looking around, she saw the Doc. Getting herself a drink of juice from the replicator, she headed for him. As she approached, a smile lit her fac. “Evening, Doc… have you got a sec? If I’m not intruding, I mean.”

Doctor
Ben didn’t look up at first, his attention had been wholly invested in his meal; A cooked salmon with some vegetables on the side. A glass of white wine and an accompanying bottle. As always he’d noticed the slight shift as a new person entered the room, most of the smells were, of course, familiar to him but he was admittedly surprised to notice Karina Niles. He carefully lowered his utensils and turned his head to face his former subordinate “Doctor Niles, please” He smiled politely and pointed to the opposite seat. He grabbed his glass and brought it to his lips “Care for a drink?” He offered before taking a small sip.
