[open] After all

[Captain La'Mara Tiho]

Everything was settled. The alien that they had rescued had settled in quite nicely. He had even found a comfy position on the Orion. One of the chefs; quite a good one too! The Orion had come through the battle with the Borg in a few pieces here and there, but she was put back together nicely, thanks to the Starfleet engineers they had on board.

As a matter a fact, she looked brand new! Everyone was currently resting from all they've been through.

La'Mara was currently sitting at a table near one of the large windows.

She had a cup of coffee in hand, and on a plate in front of her was a Greek salad. It was lunch time for this Trill captain. There was quite a bunch of commotion, and laughter in the air which made this captain happy. At least for the moment all was running smoothly, and calmly.

Elise sat in the mess hall stabbing at her lunch with a fork as she rubbed her head. She had a rather nasty bump from one of the fights with the borg and her thought drifted to her ever growing medical records. There was little for Elise to do and she found herself with some free time once more. She had given some thought to a stop by the holodeck but did not know what program to run.

[Mishtak]

It had been a long time since the crew had been able to sit, relax and unwind. The Borg incident had been wrapped up and repairs had been completed ahead of schedule for a change. Mishtak was sitting in a corner of the mess hall sipping a purple liquid from a large glass and leaning back in his seat. His left arm was in a sling, he expected it to be off in a few more days, from a fight he had gotten into with a few Borg drones. One couldn't tell when he was sitting but he had been walking with a limp as well.

The entire crew had seen some rough spots and come through relatively unscathed except for the bruises and other minor injuries everyone was recovering from now. Mishtak had been given a break from duty while he healed but he was stubborn and had hovered over Lt. Xena until she threatened to forcefully remove him from the office. So he spent much of his recovery time here in the mess hall, sipping an earth beverage known as prune juice and watching the members of the crew and staff officers filter in and out about their routines. He was looking forward to a clean bill of health from the Doctor so he could return to his duties.

As he sat in his seat he saw the Captain as also here winding down as well as their Intel Officer, Elise. He knew this Intel Officer was top notch and had seen her come through the battle with her head still held high. He had witnessed the Captain keep the ship intact and the crew calm and level headed to avert disaster and he had developed a new found respect for her. This crew had definitely earned some relaxation time.

[Shawn O'Conner]

The mess hall doors opened with a hiss as young Mister Shown O' Conner walked through. A fair amount of the crew was here, eating, talking, resting. Shawn scanned the room briefly and saw the captain, Ensign Triad; she was pretty cool he supposed, and then his eyes landed on Lieutenant Mishtak. A big ole grin appeared on the young boys mouth.

Well, since Lieutenant Xena had said if she had to look at him one more time she'd make him dance by avoiding the beam of her phaser. And truth be told, Shawn wouldn't actually put that past Xena. He steely blue gaze was enough to send chills down his spine. And Ensign Harper didn't have any things that needed repair, and booted him out of engineering there was only one person left...Mishtak.

Shawn walked up to the table where the Klingon sat. "So, when are you and Ensign Harper getting married?"

[Captain La'Mara Tiho]

Looking around the mess hall, La'Mara could see others being joined by friends, and some people leaving. She smirked when she saw Shawn enter and walk right up to Lieutenant Mishtak. That young boy had been a small thorn in her officers side on occasions, and even hers, though not personally as was with the security teams and engineering.

La'Mara had over heard the question the young boy asked, and she almost choked on her coffee. Tiho even had to put a hand to her mouth as not to show her smile as she wanted to laugh out loud. Calm yourself... La'Mara cleared her throat and looked around once more.

She noted that Ensign Triad was sitting by herself. Since the Ensign was close enough to talk to La'Mara decided to invite the young woman over to her table. "Ensign Triad," La'Mara said with a warm smile and a small gesture of her hand. "care to join me?"

[Elise Triad]

Elise looked up from her plate and over to La'Mara when she herd her name called then when she was invited to join the caption Elise saw this as a chance to get away from her unwanted lunch. Getting up from her seat Elise left the plate behind and moved over to the table that La'Mara was sitting at and planted herself in the chair across from the caption. “Something I can do for you caption?”

[Captain La'Mara Tiho]

She had left her food behind. La’Mara mentally shrugged at that. Perhaps Miss Triad thought she was going to instruct the young Intel officer to do something. Ah well. La’Mara smiled pleasantly at the young woman across from her.

“Actually, I just saw you were the only one in the mess hall that was eating alone, aside from myself, and thought you might like some company.” La’Mara said with a smile, and slight tilt of her head as she now picked up her fork, and gingerly started to move some of the lettuce around on her plate.

“Oh, also, I wanted to tell you in person that I’m very pleased with all the work you’ve done on the ship.”

[Elise Triad]

Some company? Elise thought that over a moment. “Well reading every report and log that is filed on this ship then writing a new report on all that and compiling my own reports to sending back to Starfleet command is not all to hard. I also don‘t really socializes much after I left the Vella Cava”

[Captain La'Mara Tiho]

La’Mara listened to Elise while she took a bite of her greek salad, and began chewing. It tasted quite delightful. Well, she didn’t doubt the ensigns abilities in the lest. She knew the woman was a very capable officer. She had proved herself, and had an impressive record.

After swallowing La’Mara took a sip of her coffee then spoke. “Why don’t you socialize much? I’m quite sure the crew would like to get to know you.”

Sure the Intel department could be quite busy, but no reason not to have any friends. La’Mara then had an idea: “After we’re finished here would you like to accompany me to the holodeck?”

[Elise Triad]

Elise just shrugged at La’Mara in response to her question and comment as she didn’t want to get into what happened. “And what program is it you want to run?” Elise hadn’t seen this one coming and was a bit put off by being asked to the holodeck by her caption. Elise leaned back in her seat some and looked at La’Mara as she tried to work the situation out in her head.

[Captain La'Mara Tiho]

A simple shrug was the answer Captain Tiho had received in answer to her first question, about socializing with the crew. Well, it was alright. Tiho wasn’t going to make her explain her actions; at least in this situation. They were off duty at the moment, and it was a personal question. Prying into a persons’ personal life was not Tiho’s job, unless their personal going on or lack of going on were hurting the crew member in question; or other crew members.

“And what program is it you want to run?”

La’Mara’s lips quirked into a smile. “Well, we could run one of my programs, or we could run one of yours, or we could just see what interesting programs the computer already has in the databanks. I’m always up for something new.” La’Mara added and said cheerfully. She could pretty much go with the flow of things. Also, she didn’t want to make the capable officer in front of her nervous. Some people could and did feel that way.

La’Mara didn’t know what that was about: just because you have four pips on your collar you for some reason can’t make friends with or get to know those that had less pips than you? What a bunch of baloney! Stupid!

“What do you think would make for good fun?”

[Shawn O'Conner]

While Shawn was waiting as patiently as a young boy could for Lieutenant Mishtak to answer his question about him and Ensign Sharpay Harper or at least make some kind of remark, the young troublemaker couldn't help bu overhear the conversation that Captain Tiho and Ensign Triad seemed to be having. Shawn decided to speak up.

"If you want my opinion," Shawn waved his hand in the air to get their attention. "I'd run something with action and adventure! Or maybe, I dunno, a game of baseball." Despite how well some women were at the sport the young boy just could not help but laugh at the picture of Captain Tiho and Ensign Triad playing a game of baseball. Although, it might be interesting if the crew did play ball; men against women.

Shawn would certainly watch that! Provided of course he was told he could not play the game.

Tag: Anyone!

[Elise Triad]

Elise completely ignored the child’s input on the conversation that she and La’Mara were having. I only have three programs that I like to run Elise just looked at her caption “It’s up to you”

[Captain La'Mara Tiho]

La'Mara saw the waving hand of Mister Shawn O' Conner; hence she looked in the young boys direction and smiled. Yes, he was trouble, but he was also a child. Both his parents worked on the ship. His fathers was an operations officer, and if not mistaken his mother was a civilian nurse that used to be a Starfleet officer. Note to self: Have a talk with Christopher and Jane O' Conner about their son

"If you want my opinion,"
"I'd run something with action and adventure! Or maybe, I dunno, a game of baseball."

Tiho could not help her light, cheerful laugh. La'Mara loved children very much.

"Thank you for the suggestions Mister O' Conner. I'll take them under advisement." La'Mara gave the boy a nod. "As you were."

She then turned her attention back to Miss Elise Triad. So, the decision was up to her. "A captain's job is never done." La'Mara lightly joked. "Why don't we just go to the holodeck and see if there are any current programs that strike our fancy. If not, we could play a round of Velocity."

Captain Tiho stood from the table ready to go when Ensign Triad was.

[Elise Triad]

Velocity Elise stood up from her seat seconds after La'Mara Elise disliked the standard model hand phaser, something about how it’s held never felt right to her. That may be why she took to use of a phaser rifle better then some others and you can’t play velocity with a phaser rifle.

Elise just looked at her caption “We may find something that will spark some interest” if there is a free holodeck Elise thought to herself.
