Kyle entered Nine Forward after a brief jog down Section J of Deck Nine, or as he called it, ‘The Perfect Cool Off’. He ordered a Spagetti Carbonara from the replimat in the corner of the room and found a table near to one of the many starboard side windows. As he looked out on the streched stars, the Challenger had been at warp for a few days now, Anders couldn’t help but think about how he and his Mother used to sit watching the stars go by. He missed those days.
Hope you’re watching me up there lass, he said to himself.

Riley entered the crew lounge, feeling refreshed after the sonic shower. It was sparsely crowded, and he saw that Kyle had beat him here, and already had food. He considered what he wanted as he approached the replimat.

“Kale soup,” he ordered. Filling, but comforting. Good way to end a not-so-good day.

“This looks a relaxing way to end the day,” he commented as he sat across from the security officer.

“Certainly a great way to wind down.” Anders replied, “I come here after a long shift, even if it’s just to people watch.” Kyle could feel a long lasting friendship beginning to bloom between himself and the young Science Officer.

Riley sipped the soup and looked out at the others socializing. A few more arrived as he watched. They were a diverse bunch, some in Starfleet uniforms, some cadets. He could see the attraction to just watching the social dynamics unfold.

“My previous assignment had a lounge called Seven Starboard - I loved the alliteration,” he said, then took another bite of soup. “Each shift would do a small get together two or three times a week to relax, let off some steam, get to know each other. It was nice.” He stirred the soup, letting it cool some.
