When Hunnicutt got to the mess hall he then gotten some food. When he got his food, he went to find a seat to sit at. After he found a chair to sit in he started to eat. When he started to eat he had a book that he was reading and he started to read the book.

Saark didn’t have any specific place he liked to sit and eat. Wherever was quietest was best. And today, that was next to Hunnicutt, the only other person reading while he was eating. So Saark slipped into a seat near Hunnicutt, opening his own book and beginning to read.

When Saark sat close to Hunnicutt he saw him at the corner of his eye and when Saark sat down and started to read Hunnicutt said “Hello Saark. What kind of book are you reading?” Hunnicutt asked Saark.

Saark flashed the cover of the book to Hunnicutt. It was a medical text on alien physiology - Specifically those whose physiologies were vastly different from the basic humanoid.

When Saark looked at the book cover he looks at it. “Nice book” he says. When he showed Saark his cover of his book.

Saark nodded. “Been busy, Hunnicutt?” He asked, trying his hand at making ‘small talk’ with his crewmate.

“A little bit sir. But I’m hanging in there. It’s not to bad of work. I mean with me in charge of all transporters it’s not that bad” He started the ‘small talk’ with Saark.

Saark nodded. “The busy-ness of any specific area comes and goes.” He replied. Some days in the sickbay it seemed everyone aboard had some sort of complaint, while others, the sickbay could’ve been a ghost town. Today was a slow day.

“I agree. But it’s better being busy then not.” He replied. Some times being in the transporter room he’d get bored and has nothing to do and he usually goes to the mess hall to chill.

They would hear some kind of commotion from the other side of the Mess Hall; raised voices, the noise of cutlery hitting the deck. “I really don’t like this at all! The transporter doesn’t just send information on how to build a copy of you, it sends YOU… soul and all! I’m not getting in it anymore…” said the tallest of the red shirt wearing officers. “He can send Willickers and Sherry down this time!”

The other red shirt replied, “Calm down, it’s been hundreds of days since the last transporter malfunction… and anyway, I heard there is a new Cadet going down on this landing party; you know, like a real hero!”

Saark’s attention was quickly turned to the commotion and the sound of shouting. He found the first redshirt’s argument to make quite no sense, but the second was little better. How did being on a landing party make one a ‘hero’? Saark chose to watch, only to intervene if the situation were to escalate.
