It was a casual event, Keitah was in her usual teal green pant uniform as she moved around the lounge with other NE crew preparing it for the gathering. There was a variety of dishes. She took care to determine the species of the Marine fighters and replicated food or dishes that were native to their homeward. Although she knew replicated dishes were not the same as the authentic dish she prayed it was at least tolerable for she wanted the event to feel welcoming. Keitah was also relying on the psychology of connecting food and memory. For some species, food could be an effective trigger of deeper memories of feelings and emotions, and internal states of the mind and body. She hoped none of the food evoked bad memories but only memories of joy so that a sense of community could be developed at the event.Deidre, a science NE helped her arrange the food on the tables. One row of dishes on either side of the table in a buffet setup. Keitah looked at the time and said, “Our guests of honor should begin arriving at any moment now.”
NE Harper strolled through the door of the lounge in a smooth strut holding his oboe high in the air and flashing a big smile. “Where do you want me?” He Keitah as he approached her.
Keitah smiled and grabbed the hand that wasn’t holding the oboe, pulling him behind her as she led him to a small raised platform. “You will be here.” She turned around and placed both hands on his shoulder to position him right in the middle of the stage.
“Alrighty then.” He looked over at the food on the table. “Can I grab a bite before everyone gets here?” he asked.
“Of course,” she said waving her hand in that direction. “Help yourself. Just don’t forget to play music though.”
“I won’t, I won’t,” he said chucking as he headed for the food.Naisyr, Counselor
These were the type of events Spartacus disliked. He wasn’t the social butterfly. But, he was the head of the department; so he should at least make an appearance. Spartacus entered the lounge hoping that he could simply blend in the background.
Neidell
Keitah noticed the CSO as soon as he arrived. “Lieutenant Neidell, welcome!” She was cheery and upbeat, which may be off putting to those who didn’t share the same demeanor, but by all means it was her job to maintain a happy persona even if no else did. She interlocked her arm with his and lead him to the bar. “I am surprised you are the first one to show up. How about a drink?” There wasn’t much about Spartacus in his profile which made him mysterious and this was intriguing to LeKeitah.
Naisyr, Counselor
The door slid open and the Zakdorn CAG walked in. He was in his duty uniform, but not full dress. He looked around and made his way over to the Counselor and CSO. “Evening. Counselor… this is quite the spread you have come up with. Thank you for helping us feel welcome.” His words were professionally polite and he held a hand out the CSO. “Lieutenant Colonel Krin Lardel. A pleasure.”
