Lana noticing the look the captian gave his officer, turned to him “Would you care to escourt me to the dance floor captain?” she asked him setting her drink down on a near by table.

“Of course,” Aaron said as with practice ease he smiled over at Lana. “But first, Commander,” he said towards Viveca, “would you mind?” He made a pointed look over towards Cadet Jak’Rash.

“Please excuse us,” he said to the rest of the group before he led Lana towards the dance floor. “Do you get roped into attending many of these gatherings?”

Capt Foley - CO

Lana took the Captian’s arm and walked with him to the dance floor. She smiled at the question. “Not so many as you might think, I spend most my time in a lab, but this one every year.” She said turning to face the Captain as they hit the dance floor, the current waltz comming to a close. “I have been the keynote or note of the main speakers for the past 6 years so It would be rude for me not to stay.” she then twirled around. “Besides how often does a lady get to wear a dress like this working for starfleet?”

“Fair enough. I guess one of the hazards of being stationed back on Earth previously, and teaching at the Academy, they tended to find reasons for us to break out the dress uniforms. Though on the flip side, the upside is that I don’t have to worry about what I’m expected to wear, or if I’m making a complete fool of myself.”

As the next song started, Aaron took Lanna’s hand and spun her into the first move.

“How are you feeling your experiment is going?”

Capt Foley - CO

Taking his hand she waited for him to lead and the began to dance. “Oh Captain, they are going so well. I am so excited I can hardly wait to get going” he said with a slight pause, “I mean these probes are going to make history, we will learn more about stellar nursury’s in a few moments than we have learned in the past 40 years.” said noted sounding a little over confident, or maybe she was hopefull. It was hard to tell.

It had taken Ilena longer to prepare for this party than she liked. Ril had been rather insistent that she sit down. She’d had a minor flair up of her myasthenia caused by Varnak’s Disease. She took her hypo and had to wait for it to take affect.

So now, here she was, arriving a later than she liked, but not technically late. Her hair was pinned up in a fancy knit of curls, her dress uniform pressed, and Ril brushed until his coat shown. After the flare up, she wasn’t willing to fight the dog to get out without him. He was well behaved and had attended formal functions before. She set a hand on top of his head as she glanced around the gathering and headed toward a few familiar faces.

Max quit looking for his sister she was never late, she would not be comming the brat had left him to deal with this mess on his own. “Well guess my sister is not comming.” he said looking back to the group that had formed around him, he took a sip off his drink and looked around .Now what he thought.

“Is there someone I can help you find?” Viveca asked good naturedly, she wasn’t super familiar with everyone here, but she was willing to help where she could.

~Viveca Arlander~

OOC: Sorry for my extended lack of posting, working retail during the holidays is not for the faint of heart.... lol

Max turned to the sound of the voice that just spoke, frowned “Sadly I don’t think so,” he noted then he smiled as he resigned himself to the fact that his sister had bailed on the party once again. “My sister has once again left me alone at a party apparently, so maybe you can help me by not leaving me alone?” he noted.

“Certainly, I don’t mind at all,” Viveca smiled, “Parties can be draining if you feel like you’re facing the crowds alone.”

~Viveca Arlander~

Max smiled it was a relief that he would not have to spend the night standing in a corner by himself. She seemed inteligent enough so the conversation would at least be good. “My name is Max, and you are?” he asked

LT Max T’Sai (GM)
Science officer Starbase 21

“Viveca,” Viveca smiled, “Pleased to meet you Max, what shall we talk about to pass the time?”

~Viveca Arlander~

Max motioned toward the main hall. “It’s a beautifuy facility, interested in having a look around while we talk?” he paused. “I’m not much of a dancer, but I would loved to hear about what you do” he noted not really aware of what her role was in starfleet.

LT Max T’Sai (GM)
Science officer Starbase 21

“Sure, I’m curious to see the facility,” Viveca smiled, “And you say that now, but when I mention I’m a counselor, they tend to get a little squirrely....either that or they can believe that I’m able to do that without being a telepath.” She remarked with a slight laugh.

~Viveca Arlander~

“Oh is that so,” he noted as the walked. “Well then, when I was four, I went on the is trip with my dad to starfleet headquarters” he said looking at he with a smug smile.

“Just playing” he responded after a few moments. “I rather like my sessions with my counselor, it helps me get some perspective on things, how long have you been a counselor?” He asked

LT Max T’Sai (GM)

“It’s been about three years now, not including my fellowship, I originally started in the fleet as a doctor, working my way up to Chief Medical Officer before I got the opportunity to further my study into mental health,” Viveca explained, “It was rewarding work as a doctor, but I find the challenges as a counselor keeps me interested in my work and it’s certainly rewarding to watch someone struggle and overcome it and know that I helped them with that.”

~Viveca Arlander~

Max listened as she spoke, her work sounded rewarding. He had spent more of his adult life in the lab, but it certainly had it’s moments. “Sounds like your really enjoy your work.” he noted heading beyond the ball room toward the observation lounge, it was one of the highest points in the city the view this time of night would be amazing. “Do you have any hobbies?” he asked as the turned the corn to a view of San Francisco the lights and buildings filling the far, single window that spanned the entire wall, is if it were a painting hung there for all to see. Various people sat or walked around the room in their own conversations.

“I love doing a little bit of rock climbing when I get around to it, hiking is always fun. I was born and spent most of my childhood in Tycho City, near the base. My parents were avid hikers and I started tagging along when I was able to. I also love studying earth history, specifically viking history. My grandfather’s ancestors had some viking blood in them and I guess you could say I inherited his interest in our ancestry. How about you?”

~Viveca Arlander~

“That sounds like a lot of fun actually” , he noted ” I mostly kayak and rock climb in my spare time, what little I have anyway.” he said . “I sit behind a desk alot so it’s a fun way to stay in shape.”

She hadn’t checked in, but her invite to the ball as part of the Challenger crew was too good to deny. Walking in, the new Chief Engineer smiled at those she had gotten to know and others she hoped to know soon. With this not being on the ship, she had no idea who were going to be her new crewmates and who were not.

Taking a drink from a passing tray, she settled into a vacant spot near the window and watched the room. Her dark hair up in a mass of curls and her black and white gown (*) framed by the darkness of space outside.
