Hannah stood up, the rope already secured off on her harness. “Next time, we’ll make coffee.” She tossed her rope down making sure it didn’t cross or tangle with Scholz’s rope. She backed up, holding the rope tightly and leaned over the edge. “I accept. 1…2…3.” Hannah walked back down the cliff face 10 steps to clear the edge and then released the lock hold. She flew down the rock face pushing off with her feet, having no fear of the drop or her speed. At 10 feet from the bottom she slowed and took the last distance with control so she didn’t hurt herself on the stop. With her feet on the ground she looked at Scholz to see who won. She unwound the rope from harness and began to cool it. She then removed the helmet and harness, and excess equipment and put it back on the ledge. “Thank you, Cmdr. for climbing with me. You are an excellent climber.”

The Commander instead was too confident that after he unlocked the lock he made a face down repelling, almost like running on the wall, instead of the standard one. But then he felt like he needed to make a gentleman move and for last he dropped his speed before Asimina, to get a slower descent earlier.
As he put a foot on the ground, the Commander made a little jump with the other so both of his feet were on the land “Aww, you’re really fast, Asimina.” He acted like disappointed “Well I guess you get the win, Lieutenant. And no need to get me some blandishments, you’re far better than me.” He patted her shoulder. Taking off first his helmet and then the Harness, the Commander took the equipment and carefully managed them into a sack he left earlier on a rock. Pickaxe, rope and stakes were instead put outside and fixed into some tied ropes to hold everything in place “So what will be the drink for your victory, Miss Asimina?” He asked grabbing his bag and leaning his hand to shake hers.

Hannah had watched the Cmdr’s descent and though face first it was extremely controlled and she noticed he slowed at the last minute. She figured it was from his time as an Academy tutor. Really he should have won. Hannah walked over to the door and then stepped out into the corridor with the Cmdr. “Mango dragon fruit lemonade.” Hannah headed towards the lounge not knowing where else to get a drink that was close to the holodeck. Once there she went up to the bar and took a seat. She ordered two of the afformentioned drink. The bartender brought back two tall glasses, filled with a drink that was equally pink and purple with what looked like small black seeds in it, and LOTS of ice. It was sour/sweet from the lemonade and richness of the mango. But the dragon fruit was like a mix of strawberry, grape, and apple, giving the drink a light and refreshing flavor.

“Mango dragon fruit lemonade?” He followed the Doctor in the lounge as they seated and received the drinks “It doesn’t seem bad at all? That’s good I guess ahaha! What’s in this, Miss Asimina?” He took the glass and started sipping it. The mixture of flavor immediately excited the commander that hasn’t ever tasted it. He took a sip, then two, and wondered if he could guess the ingredients of the drink “It is nice, refreshing. I feel lots of kind of different tastes…” Yuri gave another sip “Lots of fruit like tastes. The first one is the mango and the lemon taste, am I right?” He looked straight into Asimina’s eyes delighted.

Hannah nodded. “Yes, mango, lemonade, and all the other flavors are from one fruit–dragon fruit. It’s very refreshing and doesn’t over power with the mix of flavors. I hope you enjoy it, Cmdr.” This is one of Hannah’s favorite drinks, if she’s not mainlining coffee for the caffeine. She turns in the seat to look back out across the lounge. She hadn’t met much of anyone else on board yet. She was going to have to try and make more of an effort to meet the crew. “Did you figure out what to do about your sister?” She asks the cmdr.

“Ah! I almost got it right. Yes caffeine isn’t everything, thank you to have let me know this drink. I guess I should add it into the ‘things to learn’ list.” He sipped again finishing half of the drink. Tasting the flavors almost made him forget of his sister, at which he hadn’t still talked yet “My sister? Ohh my sister… well I was thinking that maybe if she joins the Saracen I might control her a bit better. Still I will need to ask permission to Mr. Dante and do lengthy talks with the Fleet Commander and blah blah blah. They never told me that I would have had lots of paperwork to do, at least more than I expected as ex-academy tutor.” He smiled “What do you think about her’s transfer?” If he wanted to transfer his sister he thought that an external opinion was necessary before making BIG mistakes.

Hannah set down her drink, her hands beginning to move quickly. She was signing while she thought, totally out of habit, as she processed her thoughts. Then she stopped, and took a sip of her drink. “I think Cmdr that maybe, your sister needs to have the safety net removed. You were an Academy tutor, and now XO of a ship. No matter what she does you are there to catch her. Maybe, instead of being a big brother with position and influence, you should just be a big brother. Let her fall, let her make mistakes, and let her figure out how to fix them. She won’t become a reliable officer if she can’t, or won’t, make decisions for herself, or fix and learn from her mistakes.”

“So I shouldn’t take her onboard, this is what you’re telling me? Or maybe I am wrong, I’m confused…” He laid down also the glass on the table as he started thinking up about it “I know I mustn’t be always there for her, I mustn’t always offer myself to get her reports, but It is so hard to leave her alone. Ugh, I guess being a tutor got me the ‘protective’ mother perk, isn’t it?” He questioned the young lady “Ya know, I have taken the tutor’s path because I love to teach people about something and after the engineering career I decided that it was time to get a new generation working, fresh and creatives. Well it worked, but now that you enlightened me, I feel like I have made something wrong in the last months, not with my trainees but with her.”
