It had been weeks since Hannah had seen Mika. The ship had been busy for everyone, but today things were calmer. And she was all done unpacking. So Hannah made her way to Mika’s office right at lunch time. She rang the chime and when allowed in Hannah grinned at her. “Hey stranger! Come on let’s grab lunch.”

Asimina, doctor

Mika was more than happy to see Asimina at the door. A busy ship meant she was busy, usually, and a break was more than appreciated. “That would be great!” She said, smiling as she stood from her desk. “It’s been a while, hasn’t it? How’ve you been?” She asked, heading to the door.

Hannah nodded, off duty she followed her natural inclination and her hands moved along with her words. It was almost like her hands danced the movements smooth and flowing. “It has but that just means there is work to be done. I’ve been on ships where we’ve had nothing and the boredom and trouble it caused.” She grinned, and there was the feeling she was laughing although she made no sound to do so. “You feel like the lounge? Or … oh what is it? The Cloaked Targ? Apparently it is accessed from stairs from the lounge. I’ve never even seen them till Nurse Claire pointed them out to me. I can’t believe I was so unobservant.”

Asimina

“The what?” Mika asked. “I haven’t heard of that yet! Let’s check it out,” She said, and smiled. “Yes, I prefer being busy sometimes, but there’s a lot of things I’d like to have the time to do, too.” She said.

Hannah nodded and they took the lift down to the lounge deck. “I agree with that. When medical is busy it is not always a good thing. I personally would rather be bored in sickbay as opposed to it being ‘go go go’ all the time. On my last ship we were docked at a repair station. They had a small lounge with a couple of unfamiliar games and some new holoprograms, but that was it. We were just a small ship, running supplies and doing colony check ups. So we kept getting pushed back in favor of more ‘priority’ ships. WEEKS Tandra, we waited. Our ops chief decided to do something about it. Ever heard of a nerf gun?”

Asimina

“No, what is it?” Tandra asked as they walked. She had to agree about Sickbay being busy. Usually, that meant a lot of emergencies, which was a bad thing, or a lot of check ups and nuisance calls, both of which just got sort of boring.

Hannah grinned, “So they are these plastic toy guns. From the 20th-21st century. They shoot these foam darts with suction cups at the end. They come in all types. Anyway, our Ops Chief replicated one gun and about a hundred darts for each of us. And then it was all out war. He rigged the darts with trackers to keep points when they hit. But then the scores got all messed up because we just started scooping random discarded darts off the floor. No where was safe. Medical and security started using over ride codes to get into places, engineering and oos were crawling through access hatches. One science officer took an EVA suit and walked around the hull to a different airlock to get someone. It was great fun for a few days, until the captain shot the admiral between the eyes.” Hannah walked with Mika into the lounge and looked for the stairs leading down to the Cloaked Targ.

Asimina

Mika laughed. Asimina’s story sounded hilarious, and a lot of fun. And exactly the sort of thing a lot of crews would do, though she was surprised hear the captain had joined in. “I bet the Captain had some explaining to do,” she said. She watched as Hannah looked for the stairs. “What exactly should we be looking for?”

OOC: I am pasting a link here where Dave gave a description and a link to the original post, because this is the first time I’m RPing in this particular location.

Hannah’s face split into a huge grin, “He was stammering and sputtering and apologizing and then all of a sudden the admiral shot him, right over the heart. We were still finding foam darts a year later.” She looked around a pointed to the stairs that lead down toward the holosuites. “Claire said to go downstairs and through holodeck one to get there.” Hannah descended the stairs and made a beeline through the holodeck and then walked into the space and looked around. Her mouth opened in a little ‘O’ as she nodded. She put the tip of her right thumb into the palm of her left flat-hand and twisted her right hand clock-wise: sign for ‘I’m impressed.’ There was music, she had no idea what kind, but it was music and she loved it. The bass notes were just loud enough she could actually feel the vibrations in the air, and that made her love it even more. “Bar or table?”

Asimina, doctor

Mika followed Hannah down the stairs, through the holodeck, and into the space. And she was impressed as well. The loud music wasn’t exactly her style, but she didn’t hate it, either. “Let’s sit at the bar,” she replied to Hannah, heading in that direction.

Hannah followed Mika over toward the bar and sat down. She wasn’t on duty at the moment but she would be in a couple of hours. So she ordered a mango dragon fruit lemonade and a club sandwich. “How is the work going? I know the ship has been in and out of counselors for awhile. Everything settling in for you?” Hannah swayed and her fingers tapped on her leg in sync with the bass rhythm.

Asimina, Doctor

“Thankfully the ship’s previous counselors were good record keepers, so everything was up to date,” Mika said. She hadn’t had to get too much in order upon taking over. She had needed to track down a few Ensigns for overdue evals, but that would just remind her of doing medical evals. Someone always needed to be chased down. “It’s been good so far.” She had settled into her quarters, everything was unpacked and her office was all set up now. She still had to get to know the crew a little better, but that would come with time. At least she already had one friend in Hannah.
