It was now several days past the holiday celebration and both T’Lora and himself had been busy with regular duties and making arrangements for the reception. A wedding announcement had been sent out to the whole crew and Ben realized that in just a couple of days he would be married to the most wonderful woman in the entire universe. As he wandered down the passageway on deck 8, he was greeted by several crewmembers who congratulated him or teased him about his days of freedom were numbered. He continued to check various areas of the ship in a random manner, as developing a pattern was often detrimental to his job. As he poked into a cross passage, he thought about his DH LCdr McGregor, he had seemed a little “off” the last day or so and Ben had tried to take on more of the routine office work in an attempt to ease the pressure a bit. He sighed as he headed back to the Security office, then smiled when he thought of T’Lora as he felt the engagement pendant with his fingers where it hung around his neck, under his uniform.

Just then the tall auburn haired CSO came around a corner, almost barreling into Ben.

“Excuse me Ensign but please pay attention to where you are going!” David grumbled, his tone a little snippy. Then man gave an exasperated sigh and shook his head begrudgingly.

“I apologize,” David said. “I didn’t mean to snap at you.” He paused, eyeing Ben. “You seem rather distracted.”

-David Michaels, CSO

As Ben rounded the corner he was nearly run into by someone, his immediate reaction was to fall into a ready stance, prepared to either defend or attack, this was just muscle memory not anything he consciously thought about. He recognized the CSO and relaxed. “Sorry sir, I am a bit distracted, I’ve got a wedding coming up and my DH seems to have a problem of some sort, not quite his usual self. ” What bothered Ben the most was the fact that he hadn’t been aware of the CSO approaching around the corner, something he normally would have caught. He would have to pay closer attention to his surroundings,

“Wedding… right…” David said, his expression softening and his eyes getting a faraway look in them. “Riley would have loved a wedding…” He looked sad for a moment, but then seemed to snap out of it, shaking his head.

“I can understand being distracted,” David said. “I’m sure you have a lot of preparation to go through.” He paused, looking at Ben curiously. “Have you tried speaking to Lieutenant McGregor about your concerns? I have always found him to be an excellent department head and a rather reasonable man.”

-David Michaels, CSO

“I haven’t approached him directly about anything, I’ve just tried to take over some of the more mundane tasks we do to try and let him have more time to deal with whatever is bothering him.” Ben sighed. “I can’t really put my finger on anything, he just seems a bit preoccupied at times.”
