The debriefing, following their mission to Deba Colony and their rescue of the children, had been satisfactory. For the Vulcan engineering chief there remained no additional commentary she had not already shared, no deeply-buried trauma that would keep her awake for the coming nights. And yet in this, the first real period of downtime she had been granted since boarding the Sentinel, she found herself almost reluctant to retreat to the isolation of her quarters. To her own surprise, T’Pria was craving company.

Entering the Crew Lounge, the woman replicated a large glass of Saurian brandy, more for the taste than for any intoxicating effects, and chose a table in the upper-right corner of the room to settle onto and inspect the crowd for potential company…

Entering the lounge, Kohana looked around for familiar faces from the Sentinal. Seeing only the CE from his ship, he ordered a drink and approached the engineer.

“Begging your pardon, Lt., but would you like some company or prefer to be left alone?”

The Vulcan glanced up from her drink and offered the helmsman an almost-smile. “I do not believe it will have any effect on the consumption of my drink whether you take the seat or not,” she offered. “So please, sit.”

For a moment she lapsed back into silence as her eyes studied the man across from her. Then, her almost-smile achieving that rare full, she added, “I wanted to thank you, for your assistance during the last away mission. The information you transmitted to us turned out to be most useful indeed.”
The engineer made a guttural sound from somewhere deep within her throat, almost as if she were laughing. “I can not claim to have been in any way prepared for an entanglement with domesticated livestock. Although from what I know of ancient history and how those animals were at one time treated, perhaps they were merely in search of some measure of revenge,” she concluded, offering Black Wolf an amused glance over the rim of her glass.

  • Lt T’Pria (CE)

“A lot of that goes to Lt. Josen. She found most of that information. I was just the guy to pass it it along. Yeah, normally cattle aren’t real aggressive, though bulls can be. Historically, cows were used for food. I know as a Vulcan you probably find that disgusting, but hamburgers and steak were popular foods on Earth. And their milk was used for all sorts of dairy products: cheese, creme, ice cream, milk. . . .”

Just then the new guy walked in and took a seat across the room. It looked like he was drinking something dark. It would turn out to be an old earth drink called “Root Beer?”

Kohana noticed the new navigator’s arrival and decided to make a point of introducing himself at some time before they pulled duty together on the bridge, but right now he was enjoying the chat with the engineer. “You deserve a lot of the credit too, Lt. Your team got all those kids out of the mine safely. That couldn’t have been easy.”

Petty Officer Banner kept his place and ordered a second drink. He did not know many people and he did not want to disturb others.
