[USS Chimera] SD: 240912.19 || Personal Log || Lt. Castillo


=/-\= Andor - The Main Tap =/-\=


Castillo sat at the bar, sipping his cranberry juice and reading the next days itinerary.  The weapons conference sounded as boring as he thought it would be.  It would start at 9AM and consisted of dozens of different booths either selling or demonstrating different types of weapons and body armor.  The day would also be filled with several different lectures and the unveiling of a few new weapons that according to the program were 'out of this world'.

"Strange use of 20th century slang", Charly thought to himself as he placed the PADD down in front of  him.  He took a quick glance at the clock on the wall and had just decided to get back to his room and get to sleep when the bartender approached carrying a small glass with a thick red liquid in it.

"The lady in red says hi", he said placing the glass in front of him and motioning with his head towards the far side of the bar.

Slightly confused Charly turned his head and saw what was perhaps the most striking woman he had ever seen.  She wore a dress 3 sizes too tight, revealing quite a bit.   He swallowed and nodded, though he wasn't surprised considering how well he kept his body in shape.  It was only a matter of time he figured till one of the several women in the place gathered the courage to approach him,  which the lady in red quickly did.

"My name is Morrigan", she said holding out her hand.

"Thank you for the drink, you can call me Charly", he responded taking her hand.  "Thank you for the drink, but I really should get going...."

"Whats the rush", Morrigan said leaning in closer.  "Listen, lets just cut to the chase, I want you", she said smiling, "I have a driver waiting outside, lets go back to my place and get to know each other better".

Castillo smiled and looked at the drink in front of him.  He grabbed it and swallowed it all in one swig. "What the hell", he said looking back at her.


*****  THE NEXT MORNING  ****


Charly woke up suddenly in a very large bed,  laying next to him was Morrigan.

"Its about time", she said smiling, "I thought you'd never wake up".

"What time is it", Charly said sitting up.  "Where are my clothes?".

"I had the servants clean and press them for you, they are in the chair on the other side of the room.", Morrigan responded.

And what a room it was, large enough to be someones entire house.  Castillo had a faint recollection of leaving the bar and winding up at what at the time he called a, 'castle'.  It was very large and it was apparent the woman was very rich. 

Morrigan continued talking,  "But whats the hurry, breakfast is being prepared and will be served shortly", she added.

"Thank you", Charly said sitting up.  "But I really need to get going, I have business to take care of".

Just then a loud voice could be heard from outside the room causing Morrigan to jump out of the bed.  She quickly stepped towards Castillos clothes and began throwing them all over the room.

"What are you doing?", Castillo said jumping up from he bed, grabbing his trousers which he quickly put on.

Before she could respond the door leading the bedroom flew open and a very large and very angry man stepped into the room.  "YOU WHORE",  he screamed.

Morrigan immediately screamed back, "Serves you right for cheating on me....Oh! I never new what I was missing until last night".

The man then looked over at Castilo and moved quickly to the dresser by the door and pulled out a small hand phaser.

"OH, WAIT....", Charly said holding out his hands, "I didn't know", he yelled but it was too late.   The jealous husband fired a shot but missed wide right, frying a hole in the wall.

Morrigan still screaming threw one of Charly's boots at her husband, "He was much better than you", she screamed as the shoe hit its target causing him to drop the weapon.

Castillo saw his chance and lunged towards his attacker knocking him over and onto the floor.  He pinned his hands down and looked back towards Morrigan just in time to see his other boot collide with his forehead.

"Leave my husband alone!", she screamed.  "I love him".

The impact dazed Charly for a second and he released his grasp on the husband.   "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE", he said getting to his feet.

Morrigan ran to her husbands aid and helped him to his feet.  "I'm so sorry my love", she said now sobbing.

Figuring this was a good time to leave Castillo dashed through the door, down the stairs and out the front door, still shirtless and shoeless.  He eventually found his way back to his room where he flopped down on his bed took a deep breath.  He was just about to close his eyes when he glanced over at the time and realized he was already 20 minutes late for the conference.
