Jasper left sickbay and headed back to engineering to deal with his normal shift there as he took a seat at his station. He went through the logs to make sure he was not redoing someone else’s chore. He picked a new assignment and headed off to the bridge for some bridge station duty which he hadn’t done in quite some time in the past. as he moved to the lift as the doors opened to an empty car He spoke briefly bridge as the doors closed and he was off to the bridge. It took no time to arrive there is the bridge seemed mellow at the moment as he took a seat at the engineering station as he signed in. looked over the monitors. He had nothing to report at the moment as he got settled in.

An Ensign was sitting comfortable with a book in his hand,on hearing the bridge door open he looked up and saw Jasper heading towards the station.
‘’Hey there engineer’‘ the young man called out ‘’What are you doing on the ship, aren’t you suppose to be on shore leave?’‘.

NC Ensign.

“Long story. Its safer up here.” Jasper commented calmly. “If you insist me not to come to the station I will go deal with a haircut and maybe something to eat.”Jasper waited calmly for a reply.

The ensign put the book down ‘’Hey I’m in no position to tell you what to do,having said that what the hell happened to your hair’‘ he chuckled ‘’It look as if you were struck by lightening!’‘ NC Jack exclaimed.

NC Jack.

Jasper sighed hard. “I was struck by lighting multiple times and played in a twister.” Giving the officer a look of really?? As he finally spoke. “As you were!I guess I am still on leave. Need to get my hear done or redone.” as he turned to leave the bridge.

‘’Really?’‘ Jack asked in disbelieve ‘’Say you sure get a kick out of your shore leave ‘’ there was a hint of humor in his tone ‘’No offense I can cut your hair, a crew cut would do and would you mind if I join you for lunch?’‘.

The ensign stood up ‘’By the way I’m Jack’‘ he said extending a hand to Jasper.

NC Jack.

Jasper was not sure what to say at first. At the officer’s comments but Jasper finally spoke. “Sure I don’t see any harm in that. Nice to meet you, Jack. I am Jasper.”He said calmly as he could. Trying not to sound upset or perturbed. “Lunch sounds like a plan.” As he shook the officer’s hand finally. “Shall we?”

As they entered the turbolift Jack realized how hungry he was ‘’There’s hardly any crew around just the essential in case of an emergency or crisis ‘’ .
Apparently the crewman was glad for some company ‘’Say Jasper have you any idea what the others are doing back on Earth?’‘.

NC Jack.

“Most were in meetings or lectures at star fleet academy and command.” Jasper said calmly to the man. I was at the lecture briefly to give my statement of what happened to me.” As he rubbed his hand. “Then went home for a visit at a bad time as a rouge storm came through and a tornado as well and you know the rest.” Jasper said quickly as he trembled a bit from the thought of it.

Jack couldn’t help but laugh ‘’You picked a fine time to visit your family mate’‘ then in a more serious tone he went on ‘’Consider yourself lucky to make it back onboard’‘.
Nearing the Mess the ensign could already smell the food ‘’Since we are near Earth they recently made or obtained fresh food and fruit not tinned, frozen, or otherwise preserved bland tasting ‘’

Rubbing both palms against each other the crewman was already thinking of what to order.

NC Jack.

“Shall we go to the station for a meal at one of the restaurants on the promenade or Maybe get some Chinese in San Francisco? ” Jasper offiered as suggestions to the food on ship.

Ensign Jasper Ericson JO Engineeer

‘’Sorry Jasper I cannot leave the ship…Captain’s orders ‘’Jack replied ‘’It’s the Mess for me but if you prefer somewhere else you can go ‘’ and with that the ensign shrugged his shoulders slightly ‘’Darn orders ,at the same time the last thing I want is to get into trouble’‘.

NC Jack

“We can always order in??” Jasper said politely. “This is one wany to get to know the new officers here so I will stay.”

JAsper

Jack slapped a hand on his forehead ‘’Now why didn’t I think of that’‘ he replied with a sheepish smile on his face ‘’ Ordering Chinese is fine by me…no stir fried worms or cockroaches though!’‘

He flicked open his cell phone ‘’Hope the call would get through,so mate what’s your order?’‘.

NC Jack.

Jasper almost laughed but stopped himself before it came up. “Are you alright?? You kinda slapped yourself hard there you got a nice red mark now.” Jasper said with concern. As he heard the request.” Let’s see?! Sweet and Sour Chicken with fried rice. egg drop or egg flower soup depending on what they go by. fried wontons and chicken egg rolls.” Jasper finished so that Jack could focus on the order. “I don’t do Klingon food either.” meaning it to be a bad joke.

Ensign Jasper Ericson Jo Engineer

‘’Oh I tend to do that quite often’‘ Jack replied and ordered the food, adding sweet and sour pork ‘’Yes that’s right for two’‘ then he stopped with the transmitter next to his ear and frowned ‘’Jasper they are asking me where to deliver ,what shall I say!’‘ the ensign exclaimed confused and puzzled .

NC Jack

“well transporter services division at star fleet academy. Give the beaming instructions to the transporter operator to beam the food to this location. USS Merrimack deck 6 Officers Mess.Coordinates.147 by 216 by 24.”Jasper replied.
