Bordeaux Quarters - Nailed It

“So, Mr Teller was wanting to talk to Captain Schultz, but I see it’s been awhile since he talked to her.” Jessica said as she looked around the room. This wasn’t what she had expected from someone that was associated with Aedan. Kelly was the ex wife to one of his best corespondents, and she happened to have a ship that would be perfect for his plan to have a new holiday cooking show. His plan though needs some contestants and a place to film that could be special and unique for a first show. Something to draw in the mindless patriotic drivel that infected the nether regions of Federation space. Or at least that was the words Aedan had used to Jessica when he sent her out on this venture. She on the other hand was going to be using far more sweet words, and show some leg if she had to.

“Well she is a Captain, and this is bridge duty time for her. I am the ship’s Chief Diplomat and Morale Officer… and her husband. So maybe I could step in, she’s mentioned Aedan quite a bit but I don’t know if he is going to have quite as much charm on her as you might think. That rat bastard comes out more than anything.” Ian said as he offered Jessica a glass with scotch as he motioned for her to follow him to the couch as he carried the bottle with a glass filled for him.

“Well the show he wants is fun, and holiday themed. He is even going to be a guest judge for the first episode. He thought about calling in some favors elsewhere but he said that Rick would vouch for Kelly’s willingness to do the show. Maybe Rick doesn’t know his ex as well as he used to if you don’t think she would like the idea.” Jessica said as she followed Ian sitting down, the slit of her dress rising high as she did.

“Oh I never said that, I said she doesn’t like Aedan, she loves the stuff he creates. That Starbase Six Nine is one of her favorite shows, she loves always says that the Alissa Fuller girl should be captain though, she seems to have more brains she claims that Obadiah the Captain… and Masked Singer is surprisingly catchy as well. So honestly getting a chance to host a show… I think she’ll say yes.” Ian said as he took a sip, he wondered how much grief he would get if he just signed off on this. He could just take her to a fancy dinner on the next shore leave if this all back fires.

“I’ll tell you what, yes. I have the authority to approve this, so I can sign off. I will talk her into it, and I can just keep it a secret Aedan will be here… what’s the worst that can happen?” Ian said with a smirk as he raised his glass to Jessica.

“Now, we will need some contestants… I was hoping you and Kelly would be in, do you have some ideas of maybe two others as well?” Jessica asked as she wondered if they would need to bring in others or if they could do a full Starfleet show.

“Oh I have some people in mind, recently married couple, my best friend… you can even play it off as battle of the couples… I am sure Aedan would enjoy that.” Ian said as he seemed to be grinning from ear to ear at the idea.

“Oh? That… sounds brilliant. Maybe we should get you to work for us.” Jessica said as she smiled with all the charm and sex appeal she had. She used her looks often to see if she could her way and wondered how much she could push here.

“Look, that was Rick’s life… I am not about that. I will though set this up, but don’t push it understand?” Ian said, his tone sharp as he put the cup down as Jessica swallowed hard. Seemed the guy had more of a backbone than some she thought as he she nodded softly.

“Perfect then, I had to ask… well I will get the papers to you. We will be back in two weeks, you now just need to sell this.” Jessica said as she stood up, Ian following suit ans she offered her hand to him. “I’ll be seeing you Mr Bordeaux.”

Bordeaux Quarters - after 16 hr shift
==============================

Kelly debated about starting to strip on route to her quarters. Her duty shirt seemed to be too tight around the neck and her boots were making her feet ache. While being the Captain was a dream job, being an ensign where she stipped down to her duty tank, donned some heels, and hit the nearest bar did have its merits. Exiting the turbo, Kelly began to run through the conversation she had been having in her mind for the past twelve hours. Ian told her the key to diplomatic success was planning for every outcome in a situation and anticipating the needs of those in a negotiation so that is what Kelly would do.

“Of course Ian my mom likes you. I mean that comment about can she cook anything that is not gray or covered in a sauce wasn’t the best but she is over it…I’m sure,” Kelly began to run through the first part of her speech to her husband. “It will only be for a week… two at the most and it would mean the world for her to see how happy we are,” Kelly stretched her neck side to side like she was about to spar. Reaching up she palmed the door controls and entered her quarters. “Ia,” she started to call out before immediately shutting her mouth.

The room was lit by soft candles scattered on various tables and shelves. The room was spotless, cleaned from top to bottom. Soft music was playing in the background. The scent of steak and ol’ bay seasoning clung to the air reminding her of the dock sie restaurants from back home. Everything about her quarters was creating an ambiance married couples produced only when they wanted something or were about to apologize for something. “Baby,” Kelly called out entering her home cautiously.
