‘’Lieutenants’‘ the doctor said looking at both of them with a slight nod of the head.She then turned around and left but not before getting hold of the other female doctor did she exit the Lounge.

“Please, Lieutenant.” the big Zulu said, indicating a chair. “Would you care for a drink? I will be happy to get it for you.”

Nkosenye, CoS

Cross Dr.

Tia nodded as the others left. Turning back to the Security Chief, she smiled feintly. “Thank you. I’ll have whatever you are. I’m not picky.” She was a bit uncomfortable as she settled into one of the seats. “And please, call me Tia. Lieutenant was a field promotion. I guess I’m still not used to it.” She smiled and nodded. “I can get us the drinks if you want.” She started to rise and smiled. She hadn’t been one for parties at the Academy, and here, she felt way out of her element. She brushed a loose strand o hair behind her ear. “I feel bad for you losing your companions as I joined you.”

CE (field promo)

Mthunzi waved her off and said “Please. Allow me.” and he walked to the bar and retrieved two drinks. Setting one before Tia, he said “Local drink from my home. Made from herbs and fermented citrus.” and he sat down. “Dr. Cross had something to attend to. Unfortunate. I was enjoying the conversation.” Nkosenye’s speech was crisp and clear, even though his words carried the unmistakable accent of his homeland in Africa. “Do you think the promotion only temporary, then?”

Nkosenye, CoS

“Thank you,” she took the offered drink and took a sip. Smiling, she covered her mouth a minute. “Wow… Definitely want to visit ‘your home’ on leave sometime. This is great.”

As he settled and spoke of the company and her promotion, she shrugged. “I’m guessing that unless someone else transfers in soon, I’m the new Chief Engineer.” She shrugged again. “I had hoped if make it this tour. I just hadn’t expected to handed a home and field promotion on the day I arrived.”

She laughed and looked around. “Are these gatherings common?” Part of her hoped not, but another part of her did. An odd sensation, to be sure.

“Not as far as I am aware.” he replied succinctly, and took a drink. “I have not been aboard all that long myself.”

Nkosenye, CoS

“Ahh…” She laughed and took a drink again. “Being new on the ship, is there anything I should be keeping an eye out for? I mean, from a security point of view,” she nodded to him to indicate her acknowledgment of his position.

CE

“Nothing outside of the normal security needs of a star ship.” he replied flatly. “I tend to frown upon people accessing areas of the ship they are not authorized for. But you would have no concern for that. As the Chief Engineer, I have granted you full access to all spaces.” and he took a sip from his drink. Setting it back down, he added “of course, I track who accesses what. In case of an incident.”

Nkosenye, CoS

Tia smiled and laughed slightly. “I appreciate that, Sir. And I assure you, I will only do what is necessary. I am sure even if it’s just an interim assignment, and a new CE is arriving soon, I would never abuse the power or allowances given to me.” She finished her drink and leaned back relaxing a moment. “I shouldn’t keep you if you desire to depart or have someplace you’d rather be.” She smiled knowingly at him. She had seen the look at the other when she had left. She didn’t want him to feel a need to entertain her simply because she was here.

Nkosenye took a drink and said very matter-of-factly “Not at all. I find it a good thing to get to know the crew. My position does not often allow for social interaction. Now, then… would you care for another drink? Or is there somewhere else you would rather be. I will take no offense. I am simply here to enjoy the party.”

Nkosenye, CoS

Tia nodded, “Another drink would be nice, if you will join me. I can’t think of anyplace other than my quarters where I would be this evening. And I’m not sure ‘rather’ is a word I would associate with the location.” She laughed and smiled.
