SNIP

She kissed his cheek and whispered softly. “It’s gonna be ok. You’ve got this.” After a couple moments, she smiled. “Let’s get thru today and I’ll make dinner. My quarters. You can make it that long, Mike… Let’s get thru this crisis and we’ll take a break before the next one.” She closed her eyes and held him a moment longer. One more kiss to his cheek and and pulled back just enough to look at him. Her smile, which lit up her eyes, was one he would recognize from the occasional glance he caught when she thought she had turned away fast enough.

“I apologise, I wasn’t thinking.” He said softly as he slowly took a step back. He didn’t want to break the embrace, but knew he had to. “I guess that’s one secret out of the bag. I didn’t think it’ll go like this, and again, I’m sorry if I was rushing anything, but I just needed a hug. I know most people think I’m like my last name, Stone cold and without emotions sometimes. Yes when there’s a job to do, there’s usualy no room for emotions.”

He kept his secret hidden for so long, though he had a feeling Kristi suspected something for quite a while. “That comes from my actual profession as a security officer. I never took any engineering classes in academy, but due to circumstances and orders from far above, I had to take the engineering position on board this ship. Not even the CO and XO know about this to my knowledge, so…shush and please don’t tell anyone.”

There wasn’t any doubt in him, that she’d keep this secret to herself.

Lt. Mike Stone, CE

Kristi smiled. “As for being unseemly, I’ve been hoping you’d do that for a long time, now.” She smiled and a blush flushed her cheeks. “And you have my word no one else with know. Those who need to, the CO at least, aren’t going to tell unless it’s imperative. So no need to worry about my own lips letting it slip. As to the rest,” she touched his arm then lifted her hand and lightly brushed hair from his temple. “I think dinner, in your quarters, would be an excellent way to continue once things settle down. How’s that sound? Till then,” she leaned forward and lightly kissed the edge of his lips near his cheek, “I have a shuttle to get ready and Kaylia will likely turn it inside out if I’m not there.” She laughed and leaned back once more. “Though it would probably still fly better than any other ship in the fleet, for all her talent.”

Kristi touched his arm once more and winked. “You’ve got this, Chief… it’s just another day. Keep that in mind and everything will be fine. And if you need help, or even just another hug, you can always order me to your office, or ask me to check out that panel on deck 14 that we worked on my first week here. It’s still fairly off limits and will grant us sufficient privacy between security rounds if you need to talk. Deal?” She smiled once more and hoped that tonight she could let him know exactly what was on her mind, and had been, since she had arrived.

Kaylia nodded and went with the other two she had pointed out and heading for the turbolift.

  • Ensign Kaylia Strenvale
    – Engineer

As Kaylia started making her way to the turbolift, a bright blue and black butterfly flew through the door and landed gracefully on her arm.

Mother Hen

She looked amused. “So you’re either going to hurt me and I will squish you, or you are helpful and I should follow you. Which is it?” Kaylia stopped before she got on the lift and lifted her arm to look at it better.

  • Ensign Kaylia Strenvale
    – Engineer

The butterfly flapped it’s wings a couple of times but remained on the Ensign’s arm for a few seconds before taking off and hovering in front of her face.

Mother Hen

She raised and eyebrow and her tails twiching a bit. “Hmm…okay. Where are you wanting me to follow you to?”

  • Ensign Kaylia Strenvale
    – Engineer

The butterfly headed towards the door and hovered, fluttering gently whilst it waited for Kaylia to follow.

Mother Hen

There was a sigh given and trying to use her enhanced senses as she went. Moving to follow the butterfly, being very cautious. This could give answers, or be a mistake.

  • Ensign Kaylia Strenvale
    – Engineer

The butterfly gracefully flitted down the corridor, pausing a few times to make sure Strenvale was following. It hovered in front of the turbolift, waiting for the engineer to follow.

Mother Hen

She still was not at all sure what this thing was wanting. Particularly for her. Even getting in the lift, that couldn’t exactly push a button and tell her which deck to go to. So that was another issue to have to figure out how to deal with. “Should I just start saying decks and you flutter at the right one?”

  • Ensign Kaylia Strenvale
    – Engineer

The butterfly hovered momentarily in front of the door before starting an strange display. As Kaylia watched it, the creature delicately flew a foot to the left, down a foot, and then in an inverted C shape. It flew with an unnatural and unusual precision and continued to repeat the pattern in front of the turbolift door.

Mother Hen

((Kristi responded to the kiss, then moved to the shuttle bay))
