Athena stood looking at people scattering one direction or another.  There seemed to be a bit of hysteria among some of the civilians, but Athena blocked that out not needing to add those concerns to her own.  Spotting Anya not far away, Athena made her way towards the other woman and called to her, "Anya!"

 

Anya looked around to see who was calling her name and saw Athena walking towards her.  "Wow you must be feeling better...you know my name and you're walking towards me and not backing away. 

 

"I seem to remember you suggestion a place that I should visit....." Athena fell quiet for a couple of moments before continuing, "but I don't think I was at my best at the time... could you remind me what you had suggested again ...... if you recall the conversation?"

 

"Probably unfortunately I do remember the conversation.  It was when I told you about my intentions of going to Trill to see my erstwhile grandmother.  You warned me to becareful to which I responded that I was by taking along a certain Hybrid Ambassador.  At that point I suggested that as Vik would be preoccupied killing the pointy ears that you should go ingratiate yourself with the Hybrid Court as if you and Vik are eventually going to be married you would need them on side.  Plus I think you need to at least know his daughter a bit more than you currently do as unpleasant a task as that may be."  Anya said but tailed off on the last sentence.

"It doesn't sound unpleasant.... I think its a capital idea.  I should arrange it for this R&R. Don't you think so?"    {I need to talk to Vik.  It should be easier to get a message to him when I'm with Susan..... and I really do need to spend more time with her.}

 

"Well the sooner the better I would guess."  Anya answered but gave some deeper thought as to what she thought might aid the situation.

 

She looked down at the ring on her hand briefly.  {When did I realize that Vik gave me the ring.......}  She touched her hair self consciously.  {..... the lift.}

 

"Listen if I can advise anything in this at all, it is simply this.  Be honest and be genuine.  You're a decent person and you deserve happiness don't screw it all up by lying to provide what you think they want to hear."

"Ummm... thanks... I think Like I'm not nervous at all now... and by the way I don't ever make a habit of lying."  Athena looked up as if she were checking a mental list, "Guess I should check with the CO." 

Anya shook her head "Look I'm not accusing you of being a habitual liar or anything like that it's the stuff that comes out naturally that I'm talking about. If you're pissed of in front of a Hybrid and you say you're fine then to them as they can see right through you lose credibility."

"Ok... just says what's on my mind," she responded thinking {And to Hell with diplomacy... well maybe that's not such a bad idea .... sometimes it can be very overrated.}

 

"I don't need to remind you to be respectful to the Hybrid Royal Court but remember and do the same for Susan she may look like a seven year old but that's not what she is inside.  Don't patronise her and don't fall for any act that she's naive."  Anya said warningly.

Athena nodded her understanding even though her mind was on several other things.

= Somewhere on Unity =

Rick had just finished up breakfast with Mai and Rachel and was going
to wait for the shipyard to arrive when he saw a familiar face walking
nearby. He hadn't seen his former deputy since ... well, since before
his ordeal with Hoack months ago.

"Gustav!" Rick yelled out, hoping to catch the engineer's attention
before he got lost among the large crowd of people just up ahead.

Gustav was walking along the main promenade of Unity when he heard his
name getting yelled out, almost instantly he turned wondering where he
heard the call from, then he saw a face that he didn't expect to see
again but was glad he did.

With a smile on his face Gustav approached Rick, when he got to where
his former CEO was he put out his hand and said "No one told me you
were up and about again, when did this happen?"

"A few weeks ago. They figure out what wrong up here," Rick said,
pointing to his head. "They also figure out way to fix it. Though
there some minor problems."

Rick and Gustav began walking in no particular direction.

"So, how new Chimera working out?" he asked, eager to change the subject.

"Excellent for the most part, we've been working non stop to try and
get her fully kitted out" Gustav said still knowing there was more to
do, not to mention the battle damage that she had suffered.

"I sure she in good hands," Rick said, feeling a little nostalgic for
full-time starship duty, and even more so being a chief engineer of a
starship.

Gustav smiled and said "thanks, but it's kind of good hand at the moment".

They stopped walking and Rick stared at Gustav.

"Good hand," Rick was a bit puzzled. "What do you mean?"

"I had a bit of an accident, my right arm is now a prostetic" he explained.

"Oh. I not know about that. I am truly sorry to hear about it. How did
it happen?" Rick asked.

"I was overseeing the installation of new EM launchers for the new
fighters, there was a problem with one of the controllers processors
was faulty, I was starting to fix it, when there was a serge of power
that triggered the launcher and tried to send me into space" he
explained.

"That is terrible, but at least you still alive," Rick said. "I know of
engineers who lost their lives in such situations."

Gustav never really thought of how lucky he was until then, he didn't
die and had some of the best docs in Starfleet looking after him as
well as Mimi, who Gustav considered his only family.

"We ought to get together later when I have more time," Rick said. "I
sure there is a lot to catch up on that happened over past months."

"Your right, you could also tell me about some of the upgrades to the
station, that is the ones I'm cleared to know about" Gustav said
always wanting to know how people overcame obstacles and new
engineering techniques.

Rick nodded before walking off to help see to the arrival of the
shipyard.

Gustav also headed off to the shop he was going to before meeting Rick.

[USS Chimera] SD: 240903.04 Personal Log LtJg. Kroitzer

=/\= Main airlock – Chimera – C =/\=

Gustav was waiting at the main airlock between the Chimera and Unity
for Mimi, they had arranged their shifts so that most of RnR could be
spent together.

The two of them for tonight had arranged to go out to one of the
nicest restaurants on Unity but there schedules didn't quite meld
together this night so Gustav arrived at the airlock first, he was
just bout to tap on his comms badge to find out if Mimi was OK when he
saw here come down the corridor.

It was bad enough that Mimi got off today later than Gustav, but when
she got back to their quarters and looked at the closet there didn't
seem to be a thing that he hadn't seen two or three times already.
She tried on and discarded a black, a purple, and a blue dress.
Finally at the back of the closet she found an emerald coloured green
dress that she had almost forgotten about.  The strapless sheath fit
like a fine leather glove even if the dress itself was silk.  It felt
cool and almost erotic as it rubbed against her skin as she walked
towards Gustav.

Gustav couldn't help but stare at Mimi open mouthed when he saw here,
this was by far the best looking dress he had ever seen her wear and
couldn't help but get a little jealous as well as proud at the looks
she was getting from the male as well as some female crew members.

When she reached Gustav he held Mimi around her slim waist and kissed
her passionately breaking the kiss only to tell her "you look
stunning".

She smiled at him brightly glad that he appreciated the extra effort
she went to.  She really hadn't noticed anyone else as she made her
way to his side but gave him a thorough once over before declaring,
"You're looking pretty good yourself."  With a couple sway of her hips
and a wink she said, "Let's get going... shall we?"

"What ever milady wants" was Gustav's only reply.

After a small walk they had reached there planned destination but
Gustav had a little surprise for Mimi "I've changed the plans for
tonight… I hope you don't mind"

Mimi turned into him with a slightly surprised expression as Gustav
almost always worked the plan he had once he had one.  "No, I don't
mind," she responded encouragingly and gave his cheek a peck

"Well I know how your taste in food is a little hmm… all over the
place, so I found somewhere that will cook what ever you want, also
they have dancing… I've practiced"

Her eyes lit up with her approval even as she said, "You didn't have
to practice.... I've always liked your dancing."

Gustav Replied, "I know, I just didn't want to embarrass you".

"You never have," she said as he took her hand and led the way to the
new location.

After a few meters from the original planned restaurant they arrived
at 'What You Want' a classy high priced eatery that guaranties to be
able to make what you want what ever race you were, "we're here dear"
Gustav said to Mimi.

She put her arms around his neck, kissed him on the lips and said,
"You're the best."

"I know" he replied, "Shall we go in then".

She nodded and let him lead the way.  {Maybe I shouldn't feed his ego but....}

After talking to the restaurants host and confirming their
reservations both Gustav and Mimi were shown to their seats, a two
seated table right next to a viewing port that showed a spectacular
view of the planet below.

Mimi felt like a kid at the circus as she tried to take in everything
all at once.  As they waited for the waiter to arrive, she took in how
the potted palms seemed to make each table its own secluded island and
the view of the planet released a feeling of calm with its shades of
blues and greens

"There's no menu here Love just order what you want and they make it"
Gustav explained.

Gustav's words let her know that the waiter had arrived and was
waiting.  She looked around for the menu and then his words sank in
and slowly she started with, "French onion soup, umm... Teriyaki
chicken with grilled pineapple rings, a loaded baked potato and
broccoli salad.   Oh... and a peach margarita?"

Gustav chuckled at Mimi's choice, he had never quite appreciated her
eclectic taste in food until now.

"Excuse me ... do you need to know about desserts now... or is later
fine," she questioned shyly as a blush crept up her cheeks with the
knowledge that she was indulging in all her favourites.

When the waiter asked what Gustav would be having he said, "I'll have
some Klingon blood soup to start with then for my main course I will
have a sirloin beef steak cooked rare please".

"Could you order some vegetables before they start thinking you're a
vampire?"  {They'll be thinking he's a vampire and I'm... the fat lady
in a thin person costume.}

"It's not really blood, it's just the colour, the soup is more like a
spicy tomato," he explained, the he turned to the waiter just before
he left and asked for some fired mushrooms and onions with the steak.

Not long after the first waiter left another came over but this time
he was only taking the drinks order, with Mimi already ordering her
drink when the first waiter took the order only Gustav ordered "I'll
have a cold German lager please… nothing to gassy".

Mimi watched as the second waiter moved away and then asked, "So how
about we try out those new dance moves while we wait for our food...
and you can tell me how your appointment with Athena went."

"If you want" Gustav said while getting up and taking Mimi's hand and
leading her the dance floor, once there he put his arm round her waist
and started dancing a slow intimate waltz.

She put her head on his shoulder, pressing her body even closer to his
as he made them glide across the floor.  Before asking, "How did your
appointment go," she placed a couple of kisses on his neck.

"Well, she said I was fit for duty, in fact I think her exact words
were that I'm not going to the 'loony bin today'" he replied before
kissing the top of her head.

She smiled against his neck and said, "Sounds like her ... I'm glad it
went well."

As the dance came to an end there order came out so the both of them
went to take their seat again.

"How's your meal" Gustav asked hoping it was as good as his blood soup.

"Excellent" she said with a smile.

"Mines good as well" he replied.

They chatted companionably as they ate comment on each new dish as it was tried.

<<OOC … happens b4 the promotions>>

=/\= Bridge, USS Chimera C =/\=

After the meeting with the Quartermaster Jade walked onto
the bridge and over to main ops where Dexter was, "Lt
how's the work progressing on the power outputs of the
point defense program on the phaser arrays?" Jade said.

Dexter sighed: "Not very well, ma'am. We've discovered some
weak spots in the algorithm and now are trying to get around
them. But I think we shall deal with the program within 4
hours" he replied and rubbed his tired eyes.

Nodding, "alright good work look forward to reading your
report." Jade said glad they were able to figure out the
issues with the defense program.

Nodding, Dexter replied: "Thank you, ma'am. A friend in
Engineering mentioned that they are going to install a
dedicated computer core for this program, is that true?"

"Um yea I believe they're working on it right now." Jade
said, "Anything else that I need to know?" Jade asked
knowing while meeting with other people allows some stuff to
happen without her knowing.

Dexter shook his head: "Nothing major, ma'am. Just the
usual problems with a new ship just after the shake-down
cruise". Dexter has been already three times on a ship
from her very beginning and knew what to expect. Chimera-C
was no exception.

Jade nodded, "understood if you don't mind could you send me
that report to my office and I can get some teams to work on
them" Jade said nodding to a few officers as they walked by
and onto the turbolift.

"It's just that there was no time to optimize power
distribution pathways and we get frequently requests about
having too less or too much energy for certain systems.
Lavatory, showers, replicators for internal furniture, gyms
and leisure rooms … you know that trade, they have
'problems to raise the temperature' or 'moisture
level' and such"

"Alright I'll have Vaughn take a look at that and also have
some small teams go to each department to get some more
information about the power distribution and then I'll work
on a plan to try and resolve it before our next mission."
Jade said glad that the shakedown mission was short with a
minor confrontation.

"Any worries about the new personnel we received when we
left UNITY?" Jade asking not been able to speak to every ops
personnel and he was hoping that Dexter or the other senior
officers in ops have.

"Well … when you mention it, there really is a problem
with some of the new crew. I know that it is war and
personnel is needed everywhere, but a lot of the new NCOs
are just 18 years old chaps and gals fresh out the boot camp
… having little to none experience with certain systems.
Sure, they know the basics, but not all those advanced
setting. That alone is no big problem … but when they
start 'exploring the possibilities' …

"We may need to start a training course or class room
teachings to teach these new NCO's." Jade said thinking
that's going to be her secondary goal is to get these
younger recruits up to speed on the programs and things they
can do and cannot do. "Thank you Lt once you're done with
your shift I want you on shore leave you've deserved it."
Jade said smiling.

Dexter smiled back: "Thank you, ma'am" he replied. It
was quite a new feeling that his superiors were pleased with
his performance.
