Stardate: 80422.1555<br> | |||
Scene: Counselor’s Office<br> | |||
MD: 7.1540<br> | |||
Krysa frowned at the Counselor’s use of the word, ‘disability’, but she | |||
supposed he was correct. To a Betazoid it was a major disability. But | |||
she pushed the thought aside not wanting to deal with it. | |||
“My brother thinks I’m ‘giving in’. But it is a important tradition for | |||
us. I want to respect it. Is it really so horrible to take my father’s | |||
choice in this matter.” | |||
“I think only you can answer that for yourself.” answered the Counselor. | |||
Krysa nodded, “I know... I wouldn’t let me off the hook either if I were | |||
you.” She gave a weak laugh. “Well, I’ve kept you long enough, Ens. I’m | |||
going to go back to my quarters. My fathers reception is tonight and | |||
he’ll have my head if I’m late. He’s definitely one for decorum.” | |||
“Lt., I would like to meet your fiancé, perhaps talk to the two of you | |||
together?” said the Counselor in front of her. | |||
“You can meet him tonight, I’m sure. As for the other... well, it will | |||
be almost a week before we make it to Earth, perhaps between now and | |||
then we can see you.” | |||
“Excellent, I’ll see you tonight at the reception then.” | |||
“Thank you... For talking to me and also for coming to the dinner | |||
tonight. I appreciate it.” Krysa turned and headed to her quarters. | |||
Scene: Officers Dining Hall | |||
MD: 7:1900 | |||
Krysa had taken a lot of time choosing just the right outfit. Something | |||
that would make her look great, even if she wasn’t feeling particularly | |||
great. She finally settled on a blue sleeveless dress, which she was | |||
particularly fond of. Looking in the mirror she realized how much she | |||
missed wearing blue, which was a very good color on her. She sighed | |||
knowing those were the trials of promotions. | |||
She headed to the Officers Dining Hall and was of course on time to the | |||
reception. However, her father and his entourage were still there ahead | |||
of her. Commander Zane was, of course, already there as well, chatting | |||
with the ever exuberant Devon Grall and his wife. She saw Kavan sitting | |||
at a table talking with her brother, surprisingly they seemed to be | |||
getting along quite well. | |||
“Krysa, I’m glad to see you are joining us this evening.” said her | |||
father walking toward her; her mother as always right behind him. | |||
“Of course,” said Krysa smiling. | |||
“So where have you been keeping yourself all day? Kavan says you left | |||
him hours ago.” | |||
“I had some duties to take care of. I wanted to make sure they were done | |||
so I could spend as much time with you and mom as possible.” said Krysa | |||
smiling, knowing that neither one of her parents were likely to buy her | |||
explanation. But of course, her father not wanting to disturb decorum | |||
did not question her. | |||
Ever the good little diplomat, Krysa wondered around the room making | |||
small talk and greeting the other officers as they arrived. She had | |||
hardly said two words to Kavan since entering the dining hall as Krysa’s | |||
father had commandeered him and was doing the job of introducing him, | |||
himself. Though he had caught her eye several times. | |||
She watched her father. He really looked happy in his new role as | |||
‘father of the bride’. She couldn’t help but smile as she watched him. | |||
While her father was normally a very somber, formal man; with Kavan he | |||
seemed much more animated. She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to | |||
find her mother watching her father as well. | |||
“He’s very happy, you know.” she said. | |||
“I can see that.” Krysa said softly. | |||
“So you wandered the ship for several hours, did you?” Krysa turned and | |||
looked at her mother in surprise. But Baris just nodded, “I know, | |||
Krysa... I did the same thing almost 30 years ago. I had my doubts and | |||
fears, but you know... it was the best thing I’ve ever done. Not by any | |||
means, the easiest... but definitely the best.” Krysa just nodded, glad | |||
to know that her mother truly did understand her feelings. | |||
Just then there was a gong sounded. Krysa smiled. She hadn’t heard that | |||
sound in a while. Commander Zane, now that everyone was startled into | |||
silence by the gong, informed them that dinner was ready. Everyone moved | |||
to take a chair, as Bat’s staff began to serve the meal. | |||
Dinner conversations remained light and relaxed. It was good to everyone | |||
enjoying themselves, thought Krysa. Even she was beginning to relax. It | |||
was just after the main course that Ambassador Jenn stood and addressed | |||
the dinner guests. | |||
“I would like to thank the Captain and crew of the USS FEYNMAN for | |||
allowing us to accompany you all back to Earth. We appreciate your | |||
hospitality and we welcome your company tonight.” He looked at Krysa and | |||
smiled. She couldn’t help but smile back. It was so rare for her father | |||
to smile like that. | |||
“I would also like to make an official announcement. My wife and I, | |||
along with Mr. and Mrs. Devon Grall, would like to announce the joining | |||
of our children, Krysa and Kavan. You all are invited to the wedding | |||
which will take place at the Betazed Embassy on Earth the day arrive.” | |||
Krysa noticed that most of the crew were not surprised. She hadn’t | |||
figured they would be. Most likely her father had told them as he was | |||
introducing Kavan around. | |||
“For those of you who are not Betazoid and not fully comfortable with | |||
Betazoid joining traditions, I would like to assure you that you are | |||
still welcome to attend.” He paused looking at the others at the table. | |||
“Clothed quests are not seen as an offense to the bride and groom any | |||
longer. So please, feel free to attend.” | |||
Bat’s staff began to serve the dessert, and the Ambassador decided to | |||
cut his speech short. “I see dessert is here, so I won’t talk any | |||
longer. Though I would like you to join me in wishing my daughter a | |||
happy birthday.” He sat as Bat brought out a beautifully decorated | |||
birthday cake and sat it in front of the surprised officer. | |||
“Thank you, Bat, it’s wonderful.” he winked at her and moved back. Krysa | |||
turned to her father and kissed him on the cheek, “Thanks, daddy,” she | |||
whispered. The day wasn’t turning out to be as bad as it had appeared to | |||
be. | |||
Regards,<br> | |||
Lt. Krysa Jenn<br> | |||

Scene: Officer's Dining Hall<br> | |||
With dinner over the group had moved into the small lounge adjacent | |||
to the Dining Hall to continue their conversations in a more relaxed | |||
setting. Facing directly aft, it was one of the more serene areas of | |||
the ship. One wall was composed of transparent steel and allowed | |||
magnificent view of the retreating star field. A second, similar, wall | |||
provided a view of the arboretum as well as a small iron gateway through | |||
which guests could enter for an after-dinner stroll. The two remaining | |||
walls were composed of a darkly stained oak joined by a large fireplace. | |||
It was easy to allow one's self to feel they had left their technological | |||
world and stepped into the past. | |||
Zane stood staring out the window watching the stars race away, | |||
his mind cluttered with thoughts and half-thoughts. The dinner had been | |||
a great success, everyone had enjoyed themselves immensely. All of the | |||
guests had been most interesting and he had even 'allowed' Kavan's father | |||
into manouvering him into a tour of the ship. So why did he feel | |||
so....depressed? | |||
He turned slowly to look over the room and sipped his ice wine. | |||
Noticing someone approaching to his left he turned to face them. | |||
"Just thought I'd let you thank me for the best dinner you've | |||
ever had." | |||
"The Baked Alaskan was too frozen." | |||
"Heathen. You wouldn't no good food if it jumped on your plate | |||
and did a little dance. I noticed you ate enough of the satays." | |||
Zane smiled and returned his gaze to the room. "You know my | |||
metabolism." | |||
"Kavan seems like a good kid." | |||
Zane simply shrugged. "Where did you learn to cook like that anyway?" | |||
"Well CSO on a deep-explorer can be very exciting and very, very | |||
boring. When all the science types were drooling over themselves because | |||
we found a star that was the 'wrong' colour or some temporal anomoly I | |||
kept myself busy by learning the fine art of being a chef. I baked your | |||
first birthday cake." | |||
"Thanks. Did I enjoy it?" | |||
"I'll say ya did. Within two seconds of putting it in front of | |||
you you had sunk both hands into it and threw a glob of icing at the MCO! | |||
For your second birthday we took the picture first." | |||
Both men turned silent as their thoughts drifted to old memories | |||
and lost friends. | |||
"Excuse me sir?" Ensign Serra extended a hand. | |||
Zane grasped it. "Welcome to the FEYNMAN Mr. Serra, I apologize | |||
for not being able to officially meet you until now." Both had been busy | |||
before the dinner had begun and had not been able to meet. During the | |||
dinner they had sat at opposite ends of the table and had to be content | |||
with a smile and a nod. | |||
"Thank-you sir. I'm glad to finally be here." | |||
"Yes, Commander Maril told me of your run-around to get here. | |||
Not to ironic we're now heading to Earth." | |||
"No sir." Serra grinned. "Of course I can't complain, being | |||
granted shore-leave a week after taking my first post. Seems a little | |||
unfair." | |||
"I'm sure you'll manage." | |||
"I'll try my best!" With a nod to both he turned and headed to | |||
the dessert buffet." | |||
"Any plans for when we dock, Bat?" | |||
"A few old friends to visit, a little relaxation. Nothing to | |||
spectacular. You?" | |||
"To be honest I haven't spent all that much time thinking about | |||
it. Perhaps stopping by the Academy to see some old instructors." He | |||
unconsciously frowned at the thought. "I don't know, maybe a ride on the | |||
Orient Express. I always wanted to do that but missed out after I almost | |||
failed second year exo-biology. Who knows maybe I'll just stay aboard | |||
and catch up on some reading." | |||
Bat considered the blank look on his friends face. *Now what's | |||
eating you?* | |||

Hi all, just placing myself at the reception. Wasn't too sure as to what | |||
was happening re: the Maril's and the birth so I didn't touch on it. | |||

Officer's Dining Hall, 7.1930<br> | |||
Krazny, after all, had '''known''' what was going to be said, so he glanced | |||
around the room when the other officers were told there was going to be a | |||
Betazoid joining ceremony... | |||
... and saw exactly what he'd felt was going to happen. Some of the | |||
officers, like himself, didn't mind at all, and some were already thinking | |||
up excuses not to go before it was said that "Clothed guests are not seen | |||
as an offense... any longer." | |||
To that he felt two reactions. Among the minority (albeit a large one), | |||
including himself, was a great deal of amusement, and the others seemed to | |||
let out a simultaneous subconscious sigh of relief. | |||
But when they hauled out a '''cake''', of all things, he was puzzled... | |||
Betazoid joining announcements weren't exactly a cake kind of occasion. | |||
Then, after listening to the ambassador, he understood. The cake had | |||
nothing - or not much - to do with the announcement. Krysa hadn't told | |||
him... and he hadn't read - from ANYBODY... that it was her '''birthday'''! | |||
Arrrggghhhhhhh..... Krazny never did like birthdays.... especially those | |||
of people who were much older than his paltry eighteen. Even when he'd | |||
gone into the Academy - just after turning fourteen - he'd hated | |||
birthdays... perhaps because his father's birthday had been the day he got | |||
killed. | |||
After the meal, Krazny got up and headed for the window where Krysa was | |||
standing. "You didn't tell me it was your birthday, too." | |||
"Thought you wouldn't understand the mood I was in if you knew." Krysa | |||
whispered. | |||
"No, I hate 'em." He lowered his voice. "Always have... though maybe my | |||
nineteenth could change that... because, and I don't usually talk about | |||
before I was in the Academy, but... my father died on his birthday, when I | |||
was seven." | |||
NRPG: Well, here's Krazny's take on things. Oh, and I realize he's been | |||
drinking under age, but then, he's a Starfleet Officer, who's gonna check | |||
his ID? That is, if there still IS a drinking age... | |||

Sickbay<br> | |||
Maril was watching the proceedings with some interest when Nurse Tamy | |||
suggested, "Sir, I think it would be better if you and the father would sit in | |||
the Doctor's office until the delivery is over." | |||
"Very well," Maril replied. Turning to Asfero Cupel, the soon-to-be father, | |||
said, "Servants of Cabeli must do their work. There is the shelter of | |||
Simbago." As he said the last sentence, Maril pointed at Dr. Tok's office. | |||
Both Tamarians walked over to the office and sat down. | |||
Maril sighed. He was fatigued. First the Furjen mission, then the BrOT, | |||
then the unauthorized beamdown...the list of stressful situations went on. | |||
Finally, he had been terribly worried about his family, and when they were | |||
found, Mikel had had a baby. | |||
Maril sighed again. Cupel hadn't spoken much. Even at his wedding to | |||
Maril's sister(back when Maril was the Ensign CSciO of the Feynman), he had | |||
been rather quiet. | |||
"The impari has picked away at you?" Cupel finally spoke. | |||
"Yes, the impari of Diabot Cave," Maril replied. Cupel grimaced, as the | |||
impari is a Tamarian bird, almost like a cross between a vulture and an eagle, | |||
and the impari of Diabot Cave was a particularly large, ruthless one. | |||
Suddenly, Maril remembered something about a reception having to do with Lt. | |||
Jenn. When he had heard about it, he had still been seriously worrying about | |||
his family. Very well, he would check anyway. | |||
"Computer, give ship's time," Maril said. | |||
<nowiki><USS Feynman time is 1856 hours.></nowiki> | |||
"Is there going to be a reception soon?" | |||
<nowiki><Define 'soon'.></nowiki> | |||
"Within the next four hours." | |||
<nowiki><Affirmative. Reception for Ambassador Jenn, family, and friends, as well as | |||
senior officers will be held at 1900 hours.></nowiki> | |||
Maril jumped up. "The fastest horses!" he cried. Turning to Cupel, he said, | |||
"If the source is found, call the eagle." Remembering that his family would | |||
not know the correct terminology to contact anyone. Quickly, he said, | |||
"Computer, allow for phrase: 'The Eagle, Person X; The Owl, Person Y.' to | |||
substitute for the phrase: 'Person X to Person Y.' during intraship | |||
communication." | |||
<nowiki><Command carried out.></nowiki> | |||
With that, Maril hurried out the door.... | |||

"Onta, you look like your going to be sick!" Zane observed as he | |||
handed his friend a drink. | |||
The first officer accepted it gratefully and drank it down before | |||
accepting another. This one he was content to just hold. | |||
"She'll be fine, don't worry." | |||
"I know its just...Gomel in the bureacracy!" he exclaimned in | |||
frustration. Zane nodded sympathetically wondering what Onta would be | |||
like if the labour extended long into the morning. He needed something | |||
to keep his mind busy. As if on queue Kavan's father joined the two | |||
officers. | |||
"I hear congratulations are in order." he said as he grabbed | |||
Maril's hand and began pumping his arm vigourously. | |||
"Well almost. I'm afraid the baby has yet to make an appearance." | |||
"A good omen captain, having a birth on your ship." he announced | |||
happily. "A good omen. I understand that you were born on a starship | |||
yourself...." | |||
"Well grown is closer to the truth." Zane grinned. "But yes, I | |||
was born on the USS REPULSE." | |||
"The REPULSE, the REPULSE....hmmm" Devon seemed lost in | |||
thought. "Why does that name seem familiar....I've got it!" He snapped | |||
his fingers triumphantly. "I was attending to some business on Starbase | |||
GAMMA a few months back and I remember seeing the REPULSE exiting as our | |||
ship approached. She was quite a ship but certainly not that old." | |||
"No, the ship you saw was the new version, an ENDEAVOUR class if | |||
I'm not mistaken. My REPULSE was one of the old AMBASSADOR class ships." | |||
"Ahhh...I see. But Captain as fascinating as this is I think we | |||
are neglecting our patient here." He nodded towards Maril "Commander, | |||
believe me there is no need to worry. Why don't you enjoy yourself a | |||
little." Seeing his wife close by he waved her over to join them. | |||
"Commander Maril has just asked my permission to ask you to dance." | |||
"Why Commander Maril I'd love to." Mrs. Grall replied happily | |||
Zane grabbed the drink from Maril's hand as his first officer looked | |||
at Devon in complete surprise. "Here let me hold that for you." | |||
"But there is no music...." Maril stated hopefully, not knowing | |||
how he'd been volunteered for this. | |||
"Allow me. Computer, music appropriate to the occasion." He | |||
grinned as Maril was led to the middle of the room. At least his first | |||
officer would now have something else to keep his mind occupied. Zane | |||
wondered just how Onta would get his revenge. | |||

Maril struggled to keep up with the pace of the fast dance. Although Maril | |||
had danced before, Mrs. Grall was definitely a better dancer and was keeping | |||
him moving. He certainly didn't have time to think about anything except | |||
keeping up with Mrs. Grall. | |||
Suddenly, the music changed and the tempo slowed. Although Mrs. Grall was | |||
still dancing much better than Maril, he did get a chance to catch his breath. | |||
"I didn't expect you to ask me to dance, Mr. Maril," the Betazoid woman | |||
smiled. | |||
"Well, I suppose it is sort of like Ciapo leading Fedri down the wrong | |||
trail," Maril smiled back. Mrs. Grall seemed confused by the metaphor. | |||
"Never mind. It is just a metaphor. You may be hearing many of them in the | |||
near future, as almost my entire immediate family is aboard." | |||
"Really? I'm sure I would like to meet them," Mrs. Grall replied. | |||
"Perhaps you will," Maril sighed. | |||
"Is anything wrong, Mr. Maril? You seem rather uptight." | |||
"Well...my sister is in labor right now, and...." | |||
"I understand, Mr. Maril. I know it can be terribly worrisome waiting...." | |||
The music switched once again. This time, to a more medium tempo. | |||
[Sickbay to Commander Maril. The baby has...arrived.] | |||
"Understood. I will be there soon. Maril out." To his dance partner, he | |||
said, "I am sorry, Mrs. Grall. I must leave. My sister just-" | |||
"I heard. There is no need for an explanation." | |||
"Good." Maril looked around. Finally, he smiled. He pointed to Commander | |||
Zane. "I'm sure, however, that our Captain would like to continue in my place." | |||
They had reached Zane. "Wouldn't you, sir?" Maril grinned. | |||
"Well...I'm...not sure. I never really learned how to dance," Maril could | |||
tell Zane would say anything to get out. | |||
As Maril walked out of the room, he could hear Mrs. Grall say, "Nonsense. | |||
Anyone can dance. Commander Maril just...." | |||
MD 7.2215<br> | |||
Sickbay<br> | |||
Lt. Commander Maril entered the room to see his sister cradling the newborn | |||
baby. She looked rather cute. | |||
"Congratulations, sir! You're an uncle!" Dr. Tok noticed Maril. | |||
"So, Doctor, did everything go smoothly?" | |||
"Well, we had to use the fetal transporter, sir, and at first the baby wasn't | |||
breathing, but we were able to revive her." | |||
"Good job, Doctor," Maril smiled. Walking over to his sister, he said, "May | |||
I watch the new river flow?" | |||
"Ambado to Iperi," Mikel said as she handed the new baby girl over to Onta. | |||
He smiled. It had been a long time since he had seen a newborn baby. | |||
"Iperi back," he said as he handed her back. "What should the new river bee | |||
called?" | |||
"Hmmm...I am Digabo. Asfero, can you guide us?" Mikel said. Asfero just | |||
shrugged, a gesture common to all species. | |||
Maril smiled. "I am not Digabo. If Sibak allows it, we call this river the | |||
same as another whose river started this day, though many sun-circles ago." | |||
"Who?" | |||
"Krysa...no, must meet the sea with an inflexible letter...." | |||
"Krysel!" Mikel called out. | |||
"Name rivaling Dorai," Maril smiled. | |||
This baby, the baby that all this fuss was made over, just lay in her | |||
mother's arms and smiled.... | |||
The sun has met the sea,<br> | |||
Lt. Commander Onta Maril,<br> | |||
First Officer, USS Feynman,<br> | |||
aka Max Felsher<br> | |||
NRPG: | |||
And so, Krysel Tuelchi is born (Maril's sister is named Mikel Tuelchi). The | |||
little bit about the "inflexible letter" was just because, for some reason (I | |||
forget why), all the males' names in Maril's family end in vowels, while all | |||
the females' names end in consonants. Just FYI. :) | |||
Andy: Now your character has to dance with Mrs. Grall! <evil laugh> :) | |||
Kristen: Glad that I named the baby after Jenn? :) It actually made sense, | |||
though. ;) | |||
Lysle: I moved the time of the delivery up, so that everything worked out OK. :) | |||
All: Where is everybody? If you're not going to be at the reception, you could | |||
at least be somewhere. ;) | |||

MD: 7. 2300<br> | |||
Krysa saw Dr. Tok walk in. She headed over to the Bolian. “Dr. Tok, | |||
you’ve missed most of the reception.” | |||
“I had to deliver a baby,” he told her grinning. | |||
“Yes, I heard. How is Commander Maril’s sister?” asked Krysa. She hadn’t | |||
had a chance to talk to the Commander, but Mrs. Grall was making sure | |||
everyone was aware of his good fortune. | |||
“Mother and child are doing well. You’ll be interested to know that she | |||
had a girl. They named her name is Krysel Tuelchi, in honor of your | |||
birthday.” Tok told her with a smile. | |||
Krysa’s eyes sparkled, “Really. That is exciting. I am really honored.” | |||
Just then Krysa’s father walked up behind her. “Honored for what, my | |||
dear?” | |||
Dr. Tok, smiled at the Ambassador, “Krysa just had a baby named after | |||
her. Only born a little over an hour ago.” | |||
“A baby! See Krysa, I knew there were good things in store for you and | |||
Kavan. This is certainly a sign,” said the Ambassador with a hint of a | |||
gloat. | |||
Tok looked confused, “Who’s Kavan?” | |||
“Dr. Tok has only just arrived, father.” Krysa said, quickly, still | |||
uncomfortable with her newfound role, “He missed your reception because | |||
he was delivering the baby,” she turned to introduce the doctor to her | |||
father, “Doctor, this is my father, Ambassador Quarn Jenn.” Krysa said | |||
quickly. “Dr. Tok is our CMO on the FEYNMAN.” | |||
Her father shook the Bolian’s hand. “Pleased to meet you, Dr. Tok. I’m | |||
sorry you missed Dinner. It was splendid! But Krysa I’m surprised you | |||
haven’t introduced your fiancé to all your friends,” he scanned the room | |||
quickly for the young man. Spotting Kavan, the Ambassador was able to | |||
catch his eye, and motion him over. | |||
Tok looked at Krysa in surprise. She shrugged slightly, as Kavan joined | |||
their group. “Kavan,” said Ambassador Jenn, “ I’d like you to meet the | |||
CMO here on the FEYNMAN, Dr. Tok. Doctor, this is my future son-in-law, | |||
Kavan. He has some very interesting news for you. Excuse me please, | |||
won’t you, I see someone else I must speak to.” With that the Ambassador | |||
turned and left. | |||
Kavan smiled at the doctor, “News? What news, doctor?” | |||
Tok looked a bit confused, “Well, I suppose he was referring to the fact | |||
that I just delivered a baby tonight, and it was named after Krysa | |||
because they will share a birthday.” | |||
Kavan laughed and turned to Krysa, “Let me guess, he thinks it’s a good | |||
omen.” | |||
Krysa nodded, and began to laugh as well, “Yes.” | |||
The both turned back to the doctor and Kavan held out his hand. “I am | |||
pleased to meet you, doctor. I’m Kavan Grall.” | |||
The Bolian shook the man’s hand, “Well, you are a surprise, Kavan. I | |||
didn’t even know Krysa was engaged.” | |||
Throwing a teasing glance at Krysa, he said, “No, I imagine she didn’t | |||
tell anyone.” | |||
“Congratulations to the both of you.” He looked at Krysa with a frown, | |||
“Krysa, you aren’t leaving us are you?” Tok asked. | |||
Krysa looked at Kavan, “Well, no, I guess not.” | |||
Kavan smiled, “There’s no reason for her to. As long as I’m allowed to | |||
‘tag-a-long’. You see Dr. Tok, I would follow her anywhere.” Krysa | |||
blushed. “I’ve already been dragged from Betazed to Starbase Epsilon, | |||
and now I understand we are on our way to Earth.” | |||
“Yes, we have been granted shore leave for a week. Just perfect for a | |||
honeymoon, wouldn’t you say,” said Dr. Tok smiling. | |||

Krysa allowed Tarrent his excuse. She motioned to the handsome man | |||
standing just off to the side of her. Tarrent hadn’t noticed him before, | |||
“Kavan, I’d like you to meet our Chief Engineer, Lt. Koreth. Tarrent, | |||
this is Kavan Grall, my ... well, we’re...” | |||
Kavan chuckled at her and turned to the Lt., “Don’t mind Krysa. I’m not | |||
sure she’s gotten used to me yet. I’m her fiancé.” | |||
Tarrent’s eyes widened slightly as he looked from Krysa to Kavan. “I’m | |||
pleased to meet you. Though a bit surprised.” | |||
Kavan laughed. He was incredibly good natured about the whole thing. | |||
Krysa had yet to figure him out completely. So far all of her fellow | |||
officers seemed to like him. She was finding it hard to understand why | |||
she still had her own doubts. | |||
****<br> | |||
As the evening wore on, officers began to trickle out, calling it a | |||
night. Ens. Krazny had asked to meet with the two before the reached | |||
Earth. Kavan readily agreed, and Krysa simply nodded, going along with | |||
it. | |||
“I’d like to turn in as well, Krysa. Do you want me to walk you to your | |||
quarters?” asked Kavan. | |||
“No, thank you. I want to help Bat clean up a bit. You go on. I’ll see | |||
you in the morning for breakfast with my parents.” Kavan nodded and | |||
headed out. Krysa looked and noticed Commander Zane sitting by one of | |||
the windows. She walked over and sat down next to him. | |||
“Thank you for the reception, sir,” she said. | |||
“You are welcome, Krysa, we were glad to do it.” The Commander told | |||
her. | |||
“You know if you don’t mind me asking, you seem ... distracted tonight. | |||
Is there a problem you’d like to talk about?” she asked concerned. | |||
“You sound like a Counselor...” | |||
Krysa laughed, “I suppose, it’s a habit I guess. Something a Counselor | |||
never loses. But really, I would like to know what you’re thinking.” | |||
Regards,<br> | |||
Lt. Krysa Jenn<br> | |||

NRPG: Yeah, Tarrent made it!! :)<br> | |||
Charles... I will write a post with Krysa and Kavan coming to see you | |||
probably tomorrow (that would be around 9am EST :) If you would like to | |||
start it before then feel free. | |||
Andy, just thought I’d follow up on the depressed commander :) Yes, | |||
Krysa still has the heart of a counselor <EG> And no she’s not trying to | |||
take Krazny’s job, she happy with the one she’s got, thank you:) | |||

"You sound like a counselor.." Zanecursed himself silently. It was | |||
Krysa's evening and he had not meant to put a damper on it in any way. | |||
Yes, he was depressed but he shouldn't be showing it. | |||
> Krysa laughed, I suppose, its a habit I guess. Something a counselor never<br> | |||
> loses. But really, I would like to know what youre thinking.<br> | |||
He looked up at her and smiled. He couldn't say anything so | |||
instead lied. "I appreciate the concern but really I'm fine." | |||
Krysa wasn't convinced, and said so. | |||
He shrugged in mock surrender. "Well maybe I might be a little | |||
weary lately. Can we just leave it there?" | |||
Krysa thought better of it but decided she'd let it go....for now. | |||
"I'm glad your both here I've got a great idea!" Bat exclaimed | |||
as he approached. | |||
Zane put his head in his hands. "Bat with another idea, now I | |||
am depressed. | |||
Krysa laughed. "What's your idea Bat?" | |||
"We..." He pointed at Zane and then himself. "...throw a | |||
bachelor party for Kavan! What d'ya think?" | |||
"Well I don't know, I'd have to ask Kavan." | |||
"Well what are you doing standing here? Go and ask him! There's | |||
plans to be made!" | |||
"I think it will hold til morning Bat. Earth is still 5 days away." | |||
Bat ignored him. "Yes sir it'll be great. First we'll have to | |||
come up with a really good holoprogram....he's not allergic to anything | |||
is he?" | |||
"I don't think I want to hear any of this so I'm heading off to | |||
bed to leave you two to your planning. Good night and thanks again." | |||
They both watched her go in silence and once the doors closed Bat | |||
turned to Zane. "Now what's your problem?" | |||
_______________<br> | |||
Scene: Sickbay<br> | |||
MD:8.0015<br> | |||
Zane looked down at the FEYNMAN's newest arrival, Krysal who was | |||
sleeping contently in sickbay's makeshift nursery. One of the nurses | |||
came over and stood beside Zane. "Cute little guy isn't he?" | |||
"Very." | |||
"Your about the 20th person to come in here in the last 90 | |||
minutes. It seems he's quite a celebrity." | |||
Zane nodded not surprised. A new birth was definitly not an | |||
everyday occurrence on the FEYNMAN. A birth, a wedding and now maybe a | |||
bachelor party. It was certainly turning out to be quite a week. | |||
<<<NRPG>>> | |||
Just a short one... | |||
Kristin: What do you think, would Kavan be interested in a Bachelor | |||
Party or should we put a leash on Bat before he gets rolling. <G> | |||

Stardate: 80427.1312<br> | |||
Scene: Kavan’s quarters<br> | |||
MD: 8. 0800<br> | |||
Krysa rang the chime on Kavan’s door. She heard him call ‘come in’ as | |||
the door slid open. She entered, but didn’t see him right away. | |||
“Kavan?” | |||
“Just a minute, I’ll be right out came his call from the bedroom.” | |||
Krysa took a seat on the couch to wait for him. She didn’t have to wait | |||
long, as he came out almost as soon as she had sat down. His short, wavy | |||
hair was wet and freshly combed. “I apologize, Krysa. I got a late start | |||
this morning.” | |||
“That’s alright, I don’t think my father will mind if we’re late. I | |||
think as far as he’s concerned you can do no wrong.” she said chuckling. | |||
“Well, your dad’s not such a bad guy. A little stuffy perhaps,” Kavan | |||
sat down next to her and took her hand. “Besides it’s thanks to him, I | |||
have you.” | |||
Krysa blushed. She found that she rather liked Kavan’s sweet remarks. | |||
She was beginning to warm up to this marriage idea after all. At least | |||
Kavan was a good man, and he seemed to genuinely care for her. She | |||
smiled, “I do have a request for you.” | |||
“Anything, you have only to ask.” | |||
“Well, it’s not my request exactly... it’s Bat’s. You met Bat last | |||
night, didn’t you?” | |||
“Oh yes, the bartender,” laughed Kavan, “Quite a character.” | |||
Krysa laughed, “Yes, he is. He would like to throw you a bachelor | |||
party.” | |||
“A what?” | |||
“A bachelor party. It’s an Earth tradition to hold a party for the groom | |||
just prior to the wedding. ‘One last chance to party with the guys | |||
before you get tied down’.” | |||
“And Bat would be throwing this party?” Krysa nodded and Kavan smiled, | |||
“I think it sounds like an excellent idea. So you wouldn’t be there?” | |||
“I think that’s the general idea.” said Krysa raising an eyebrow at him. | |||
“You needn’t look so happy about that.” | |||
Kavan stood and pulled her up. Grinning, he said, “You can tell Bat that | |||
I would be honored to have a ‘Bachelor Party’.” | |||
“I’m sure he’ll be glad to here that,” together they headed out to meet | |||
the Ambassador for breakfast. | |||
Scene: CNS Office<br> | |||
MD: 8.1000<br> | |||
Krysa and Kavan entered Ens. Krazny’s office. Krazny motioned them over | |||
to the couch, “Come in, have a seat.” | |||
“Thank you, Ens. Krazny,” said Krysa. She and Kavan sat down and looked | |||
at the counselor. | |||
