<h3 style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; color: royalblue; font-weight: bold;">USS FEYNMAN: A Day in the Stife...</h3> | |||
<h4 style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; color: royalblue; font-weight: bold;">by Joseph Baker 2-5-1996</h4>SD: 80206.0238 | |||
Ship Time: 2000 | |||
Ensign Jerran walked into Ten Forward, in a rather sour mood at that. | |||
For one thing, he was forced to wear a dress uniform, which he was | |||
consistently tugging at the collar of. His day had also not gone rather | |||
well with Ensign Cartwright in the shuttlebay. | |||
He had been able to keep himself from reading the idle thought here and | |||
there from her, but it didn't take a telepath to tell what she was | |||
feeling. She had almost avoided him all throughout the duty shift today, | |||
except for where it was absolutely necessary to interact with him in | |||
order to do their jobs. That would have been just fine for Jerran had it | |||
not been for the aloof way she did speak to him when she had to. It was | |||
always "Ensign" or "Sir" rather than "Terri" or even "Jerran." | |||
Apparently, his reaction to her attraction towards him had had more of an | |||
effect on her than he had foreseen. | |||
He surveyed the lounge as he walked in. Most of the crew that was off | |||
duty at this time were here, and even some who were probably supposed to | |||
be on duty, ahd the ship not been docked at Epsilon. Therefor, it was | |||
rather crowded. Many of the senior officers were gathered around the | |||
Commander Paxwax up near the front of the room, laughing and chatting | |||
with each other. | |||
Jerran walked over to a secluded corner of the room. He had to admit, | |||
even though he was supposed to be one of the senior officers, he really | |||
just didn't fit in with the rest of them yet. He knew he was an | |||
excellent pilot. His Vulcan-ly logical pride in himself required him to | |||
admit that of himself. But, he knew that he was quite young and | |||
inexperienced, especially for a department head. And, he thought the | |||
near destruction of the NOGURA had been a fine example of that. If it | |||
hadn't been for Krysa's skill and experience, they probably would never | |||
have made it. | |||
He ordered a drink from a passing waiter, surprised to catch a hint of | |||
some Aldebaren scotch having been "smuggled" on board. He wasn't one for | |||
drinking, so he just ordered a cup of Raktageno. Even though they were | |||
docked, he knew that it was going to be a long night. | |||
And, it just got longer as Ensign Jenniger Cartwright casually came and | |||
sat down at his table directly accross from him... | |||
<NRPG> | |||
Let the games begin!! <EG> | |||
Aldebaran scotch? Isn't that the green stuff Scotty got drunk on in | |||
Relics? :) | |||
BTW, Andy, I'm actually more partial to the Miranda class than any other | |||
ship to come out of the 23rd century. I won't penalize you for going for | |||
second best, though ;) | |||
Respectfully Submitted, | |||
