Stardate: 80508.1121<br> | |||
Scene: Aboard the “Rolly”<br> | |||
Krysa and Kavan, in thier swimming suits, climbed on the small boat and | |||
took a seat next to another couple. As the ten passengers found a seat, | |||
the Captain stood up. “Welcome, friends.” He went on to explain a few | |||
rules and regulations before starting the boat and heading out into the | |||
open ocean. | |||
The woman sitting next to Krysa leaned toward her. “I’m Helen, where ya | |||
from?” | |||
“I’m Krysa, this is Kavan. He’s from Yarsa, Betazed, I was raised in Los | |||
Angeles, Earth.” Krysa told her. | |||
“Oh, ya married an alien, how interesting.” the middle aged woman | |||
crooned. | |||
“Well, actually, I’m Betazoid also. My father’s a diplomat here.” | |||
“This is Frank, he and I are from Texas. Are ya here on vacation?” When | |||
Krysa nodded, she continued, “Us too. We never get to go anywhere. I | |||
told Frank that if he didn’t take me somewhere, I would leave him, so | |||
here we are. Ain’t life grand!” She began to laugh. | |||
Krysa felt Kavan chuckling. She looked at him and found herself | |||
chuckling as well, as Helen continued to chat on and on about her life | |||
in Texas and how she never got to go anywhere. | |||
Finally the Captain pulled the boat up to a docking area. Krysa and | |||
Kavan pulled their snorkels from their bag. Kavan had never been | |||
snorkeling so Krysa gave him a quick lesson on how it was done and then | |||
jumped in the warm waters off the reef. | |||
Kavan followed her and together they headed out toward the reef. They | |||
had a great time watching the schools of fish and spying on the other | |||
creatures that lived among the rocks and corals of the small reef. | |||

Scene: Dinner later<br> | |||
“That swimming does make you hungry doesn’t it.” It commented Kavan as | |||
he devoured the local cuisine. | |||
“Well, just about everything makes me hungry,” chuckled Krysa. | |||
“I can’t argue with you there,” he laughed. | |||
“You know, I think I saw a cuttlefish.” said Krysa excitedly. | |||
“A cuttlefish?” asked Kavan. | |||
“It’s kind of like a squid, I guess. It can blend into it’s environment | |||
so it’s very hard to see. Which is why they are so hard to see. It’s | |||
quite likely we passed some without knowing it.” | |||
“I was most impressed by those fish with the beaks. They were incredibly | |||
beautiful. What colors!” | |||
“Parrot fish. I knew you’d enjoy the colorful fish.” Krysa smiled at | |||
him. | |||
“See you’re getting to know me pretty well.” | |||
Regards,<br> | |||
Lt. Krysa Jenn<br> | |||

NRPG: Okay so now, we’ve had Krysa and Kavan in the desert, New Orleans, | |||
and a coral reef... what’s next?? I don’t know, but I’m sure I could | |||
think of a million things that I’ve never done but would like to | |||
vicariously through these two :) Well, okay I’ve gone snorkeling at a | |||
coral reef... oh well :) | |||
