Ten-Forward<br> | |||
Ensign Krazny Oktyabr was determined to meet the senior staff before the | |||
first meeting, and he saw opportunity across the room like a hawk-eyed | |||
Ferengi, but not the same type of opportunity a Ferengi would be looking | |||
for. | |||
So he walked up to the bar, grabbing a stool next to a lieutenant who was | |||
talking to the bartender. "Vodka, please." He said, when they paused. | |||
The old bartender said, "Yes, Ensign. Sorry." He walked off to get the | |||
drink. | |||
The lieutenant turned to him. "I don't know you." | |||
He smiled, and said, "No, I just came aboard. Ensign Krazny Oktyabr, the | |||
new counselor." She started laughing. "What?" | |||
"I'm Lieutenant Krysa Jenn... the old counselor. I'm OPS now." She paused | |||
and said, "Where did you get a name like Krazny Oktyabr?" | |||
The vodka arrived, and he said, "Thank you. Now, about the name," He | |||
turned to face her again, "I chose it from a book after my parents were | |||
killed." | |||
"Really? What kind of book?" | |||
"A twentieth-century Earth novel, called _The Hunt for Red October_." | |||
"Why would anyone be looking for a month?" | |||
"The RED OCTOBER was a submarine... a naval vessel that is enclosed and | |||
designed to go underwater. The RED OCTOBER's captain, when they left port, | |||
sent a letter to an admiral telling him that he was going to defect." | |||
"My gods!" | |||
"Well, actually, the side he was defecting TO was the good guys." He | |||
paused. "You're Betazoid, aren't you?" | |||
"How did you guess?" | |||
"So am I. One of my grandparents was Bajoran, but the other three were | |||
Betazoid." | |||
"Now I know why you're a counselor..." | |||
NRPG: This is Krysa's chance to ask questions. BTW Krazny uses the | |||
Bajoran name system... it was his paternal grandfather. I don't know much | |||
about Krysa, but I figured she'd want to hear quite a bit about the new | |||
counselor! | |||
