[Open] Off duty meal

[Ryanna Denali]

Ryanna's shift ended about five minutes ago, and into that five minutes her stomach had let out quite an embarrassing growl. Though not many paid attention Ry sort of blushed as she made her way to the mess hall to get something to eat, to silence her tummy.

The doors to the mess hall on deck two slid open upon her arrival. A few people were around, so at least there was a table free. Ry walked up to the cook, exchanged pleasantries then accepted the special. After a thank you Ry sat down at the nearest empty table and began to eat.

Anna was set to be at work soon. With the head engineer now gone, Sharpay was the acting chief and she the assistant chief. The thought alone put a pit in her stomach. Even being the assistant chief was a big job. She knew Sharpay would be attending some briefing or something and she'd be in charge in her absence...but to deal with the crew she'd need some energy. And something besides black coffee. "Come on Brutus". Anna gripped the massive white dogs leash in her hand and went into the mess hall. She ordered a plate of marinara and meatballs. Now normally the german was not much into eating italian food, but at this point anything would do. Uh oh...she did not see any tables free.

The girl noticed a girl sitting on her own, with an empty chair across from her. She decided to go over to her. "Excuse me! May I sit here? I apologize. No table is free," Anna said in her thick german accent, hoping she could at least get her point across.

Before a word was even said, Ryanna's nose started to itch. She wiggled it a bit before swiftly grabbing a napkin, and releasing a rather large sneeze. Her eyes also slowly began to water. Nothing like this had happened since she had been back on Earth, on the farm. "Excuse me."

Ryanna looked up to the woman who had previously asked if she could sit. "Oh. Sure." Ry gestured to the chair. She also saw the dog. That was why she had sneezed, and eyes began to water. Ryanna was highly allergic to dogs; even said so in her medical file. Other symptoms included: Chest tightening, loss of breath, and sevear hives. Aside from her being highly allergic, why would someone bring their dog to a place where people ate? Fur in the food was not exactly ideal...then again neither was an allergic reaction.

"If it wouldn't be too much trouble, ensign, would you mind letting the dog go?" Ryanna sneezed again, followed by a cough. Ry then wiped her watering eyes that were starting to turn somewhat red.

Uh oh. Not good not good. This woman obviously had a bad reaction to dogs. "Oh! I do apologize. I did not know you were allergic...I normally bring Brutus in here. He's very good and does not beg for food." She recognized an engineering crew member leaving the room and caught him just before he left. "Ensign! Please take my dog to the engineering office and lock him in. By no means are you allowed to let him to run loose...or sneak him snacks." Anna felt a little bossy pushing the new crew member around, but whatever- was she supposed to take charge? She handed the leash over to him and he walked..err was pulled out of the room.

"I am so very sorry! Do you require medical help?" She was all over the woman. Being motherly was in Anna's personality...she'd even had some of the boys in engineering refer to her as "mom". She sometimes cooked for them and frequently watched to make sure they were out of trouble, just as any mother would.

"Oh! I do apologize. I did not know you were allergic...I normally bring Brutus in here. He's very good and does not beg for food." "I am so very sorry! Do you require medical help?"

Well, at least she had someone take the dog away. Though personally Ryanna was a little surprised that the chef would allow the dog in the mess hall. Or that the captain would even condone it. Well...they just got a new captain, so maybe she didn't know. "You didn't know about my allergy to dogs." Ryanna replied.

She didn't want the ensign to feel completely at fault or hurt her emotionally. Some people could feel really bad, and blame themselves over and over again if they felt they were the direct cause of something. "I think that's why most people only take their animals to the holodeck or keep them in their quarters." Perhaps that would be a subtle enough hint. "I'll be alright. I'll stop by sickbay on my way back to duty." Ryanna assured as best she could.

"Thank you though for your concern."

Dom was to start his first offical shift in 10 minutes which in his case was just enough time to grab something to eat. Plus it would be a better way to introduce himself to the crew. Better here than in the sickbay when they were at deaths door. He chuckled to himself. He didn't like making jokes like that but sometimes doctors had a black sense of humor, what being around death so much. Entering the hall he walked stright to the replicator and ordered himself a plate of lasenge. He loved the stuff couldn't keep himself away from it, even though he knew it was bad for him. Looking around he noticed not many tables were free. He sighed. Well he had wanted to to indroduce himself to the crew. Casting a quick look around his eye was quickly drawn to the familier sight of a light blue Science/Medical uniform. Heading over he cleared his throt and asked "May I join you?" For the first time he relised that something appeared to wrong with women in blue. "Is something the matter?" he asked putting his tray down and grabbing his Medical tricorded of his belt.

Before the ensign in gold had a chance to do anything they were joined by another officer. Wiping her eyes once more Ryanna was able to make out who it was. The chief medical officer. "Please." Ry responded plesantly as possible, gesturing to the other chair. He then asked if something was the matter. It was now clear that the look of redness was still in her eyes.

Ry already knew the water was still there a bit as she had previously wiped her eyes. "I just had a common allergic reaction to an animal." Ryanna replied with a quick glance to the ensign, not saying it had been her dog that had caused it. "I was actually going to go to sickbay to get treated after I finished."

// "Huygens to Denali," she said. "I think Ensign Digby could use some help in Astrometrics. Are you free to join her?" //

[Ryanna Denali]

Things were moving so fast. Not to say that things never moved fast. It just was unusual at the moment. First she met an officer, had an allergic reaction to the dog, the chief medical officer walks in, perhaps saving a trip to sickbay, when in the first place Ryanna came in here for a simple meal to relax. Now a comm call. She was briefly reminded of the twisters that sometimes touched down. Didn't want to get caught in one.

Lieutenant Denali tapped her badge to reply. "I guess that would depend on what the doctor says, but personally I'd be happy to join her as soon as possible."

When had Doctor Jones come into this? All right, this was getting embarrassing. Really embarrassing...a blush crept into her cheeks. Anna decided from now on she would not bring Brutus into here anymore, and if that she saw the woman again while with him they would just turn the other way. Why couldn't she just say it was her dog? Anna thought it was better to be honest than to lie. And where would the animal allergy have come from seeing as there were none present? "It was my fault, Doctor. I did not know this lieutenant was allergic to animals and brought my dogo argentino dog with me in here as I usually would. He goes almost everywhere with me..we are closely bonded. I do apologize again, lieutenant."

"Engineering to Ensign Kortigs! You are needed."

Maybe this was a good time to leave now? It appeared she was needed down in the engineering room, meaning Sharpay would be back soon. She tapped her comm badge and replied, "Kortigs to Engineering. I will be arriving shortly. Kortigs out."

She stood up from the table and said, "Well, I must go now, as I am needed in engineering while the acting chief attends a meeting. My name is Anna, by the way, lieutenant. Lebewohl, Chief." And with that, Anna left the mess hall.

Listening to the womens explanation, Dom couldn't help but feel she was covering up for someone. The first reason: There was no animal in the mess hall for her to get an allergic reaction from. Still, who was he to pry in her business. He was merely here to make sure the crew stayed alive. Before he could reply she was asked to come down to astrometrics. "On what I say Lieutenant. Well in that case...," Bringing the portable med kit of his belt he quickly loaded something in. "5ccs of Bicaridine and you'll be as right as rain." Pressing the hypospray in to her neck he heard the hiss as the chemical was released into her body stream. "Give it 5 minutes and you'll be as right as rain Lieutenant." With that he packed the kit away and began to tuck into his lunch. As he was eating the Ensign began to talk to him. She explained that it was her fault, she had brought her dog in her and she hadn't relished that Ryanna was allergic. "Theres nothing to worry about Ensign. You couldn't have known that she was allergic, although I would refrain from bring your dog in here again." Then she was called away. "I'm Dom" He said in reply to her giving him her name. When she bid farewell in German, which he guessed was her native tongue, he couldn't help but say goodbye in his mother language of Italian. Addio Ensign. " Glancing at his watch he relished that he only had 5 minutes left to finish his meal and get down to the Sickbay. It turned out this problem had taken longer that he thought it would.

The young officer in gold left with a goodbye. Heading to her post or something...
"On what I say Lieutenant. Well in that case...,"

Ryanna watched as he reached and got a hypospray. How convenient. Ry thought with a smile. It was really, totally awesome. She didn't know that the medical crew had their own personal kit things that fit to their uniforms. She was fully aware of the standard med-kit, but this seemed to be different. Maybe it is just his...

Ry tilted her head a bit so the CMO could have easier access to her neck to inject the medication.

"Give it 5 minutes and you'll be as right as rain Lieutenant."

"Thank you doctor. You saved me a trip to sickbay." Ry then stood and picked up her tray. "If you'll excuse me, I'm needed in astrometrics, as I'm sure you heard." Ryanna scooted her chair in using her foot. "Thanks again." She said with a smile as she went to recycle her things, then made her exit from the mess hall.
