(OOC: This tread takes place in the ship’s lounge, “Nine Forward.” Why is it called Nine Forward? You read about that in the Challenger’s ship specifications: https://www.star-fleet.com/library/bookshelf/tm/discovery.html. Every ship in STF is part of a ship class created by STF members and approved by our club’s Engineering Department; the Challenger is a Discovery-class ship.

Cadets are encourage to join this thread if they want some practice at RP-ing in STF outside of the main sim. Feel free to interact with my character… or not :P)

Eric walked into Nine Forward. He had Lofton’s most recent personnel reports that Eric needed to review, but doing so in his quarters right now seemed… not much fun. So PaDD in hand, Eric looked around the lounge, saw an empty table and seats next to the observation window, and headed straight for it.

Sitting down, Eric put the PaDD down as someone came by to take his order. “An Earth lager, please,” Eric requested. Waiting for his drink to arrive, Eric got more relaxed in chair and started to review the reports.
