— 18:00. tangqa’ Tavern. —
Mirembe slipped through the tangqa’ Tavern’s doors without a millisecond to spare. Though her feet were fatigued by the journey through Oed’s bustling Centurion Square, they were quick to guide her past its threshold and toward the bar… IAN just inches behind her.
— Mirembe M’Ahar, Director of Terraforming
Madison had been sitting at the bar for the past ten minutes because she had arrived early as was the norm for her. She had already had to fend off two suitors that had offered her free drinks but most certainly would have come with a catch that she did not prefer to be tangled in. Her history of becoming ill from drinking on an empty stomach also played a role as she waited for her new colleague to arrive. She saw Mirembe enter the bar and waved at her to draw her attention to the bar area. Madison looked down at her PADD, the clock read 18:00 hours, Mirembe was right on point with her timing.

Mirembe spotted her, relief saturating the remnants of her smile. She tended forward, lifting her hand in the makings of a wave, only to quickly retreat as a pair of Trill dared to seize it in their spirited dash. Nursing the tension with a chuckle, M’Ahar blinked and wove through the tangqa’ Tavern’s many patrons.
“Ah, Lieutenant Marsh?” Mirembe greeted, her lips stagnant but her words infested with a buoyancy only IAN could produce. Though she found no value in assumptions, Marsh’s knowing wave had been evidence enough to guide her forward. Mirembe M’Ahar,” she struck out a hand.
A second later, she jabbed her thumb to her grapefruit-sized companion, who seemed more than eager to introduce itself. “IAN,” it wiggled its appendages like a wave, “I examined your thesis on ‘The impact of Disease on the Epigenetic Regulation of Gene Expression.’ It was a rivetting read! Might I ask–”
Sensing IAN was about to ramble, Mirembe snagged its attention with a gentle sign. Shaking her head, she pulled out the barstool and climbed up to join Marsh. “Anyway…” a slight smile returned to her face ”…it’s a pleasure to finally meet you.”
From behind the bar appeared a large and gregarious half-Klingon. Were it not for the long apron, then her chosen attire of leather trousers and form-fitting tshirt might have marked her as patron instead of proprietor. But any lingering doubts would be instantly cast aside as she roared to the two women “Welcome to tangqa’ Tavern! And how may I help you this evening? We have the finest selection of spirits and liquors in the entire quadrant and a menu that will facilitate further drinking by a hearty lining of the stomach!”
- Mirai Nakuto (Owner - tangqa’ Tavern)
Uninhibited and booming, the proprietor’s address shattered the idle susurrus Mirembe had endured, restoring it with the tremors of a fading roar. She couldn’t help but grin. Turning to her, Mirembe drummed her fingers against the countertop in thought. Temptation escorted her to her usual order, but curiosity dared her to step outside of her comfort zone. With a glance to Marsh, she asked: “Do you have a signature drink, Miss…?” She searched the half-Klingon’s apron for any sign of her name, but Mirembe’s fruitless efforts left her to await the proprietor’s answer.
