side - sim: Social Experimentation at its Finest (Tag Kane)

Posted Aug. 29, 2022, 3:54 p.m. by Lieutenant Alexis Bonner (Assistant Chief Medical Officer) (Jennifer Ward)

Anthony Bonner entered his home in the suburb of San Francisco and put his PaDD down. He inhaled deeply of the fresh baked aroma the permeated the house. Alisson was baking. That wasn’t all that strange, that was her profession after all, but for the scents to be so strong that meant she had been home all day. It was the sweet with a tinge of bitter aroma of white chocolate chip and cranberry cookies that told him she was missing their only child. They were Alexis’ favorite treat and Alisson baked them in mass when she was missing Alexis.

The kitchen was covered in breads, cakes, loaves, cookies, pies of all kinds covered every conceivable inch of their kitchen and dinning room, and Alisson was pulling two sheets of cookies out of the oven. He waited until she put the scorching hot pans down and closed the oven before walking up behind her and wrapping his arms around her and gently kissing her neck.

Alisson let out a little sigh. “I miss her. I haven’t seen her since she graduated Anthony.” He squeezed a little. “You know how she is. And we knew when she graduated it would be on us to make sure we saw her.” Alisson pulled away from him and started moving the cookies to a cooling rack and muttered a sad, “I know.”

“Go pack your bag.” Alisson looked over her shoulder at him. “What? Pack a bag for what?” Anthony stared at her a moment and then grinned. “A bag we’re going on a trip. I’ve arranged it, gotten all the permissions, and we’re going to go see Alexis on the Ogawa.” Half the cookies fell on the floor because Alisson bumped the rack in her haste to hug her husband and go back her bag. Anthony chuckled and plucked a muffin off the counter and slowly made his way to the garage to grab their luggage.


Two weeks later the small transport ship pulled up along side the Ogawa and the aging science officer and his wife beamed aboard. Alexis was not there to greet them because Anthony had not bothered to tell her they were coming. He figured that was best. Alexis would get so distracted in her work she would forget the day or the time or just be busy. Besides it was nice to surprise her. They were oriented to GALEN and then shown to their guest quarters. Alisson planned to cook, and her husband had plenty of replicator credits built up. They never used them. While she got settled, Anthony went looking for the main science labs. They were staying for a couple weeks, and like his daughter, Cmdr Bonner did not like to be idle, and thought he could at least help as a lab assistant while they were on board.

Anthony entered the science labs and glanced around the lab for the CSO’s office. He found it, door open, but lights off. There was a single individual working in the lab. Anthony made his way over to ask if they knew where the CSO was.
