“Care to join us, Captain?” Liadra said, leaning forward slightly to make eye contact. “We’re just chatting about the ship and our time in Starfleet so far.” She had developed a good rapport with the man so far but it would be nice to talk to him outside of duty a bit more. It was also good to see him venturing out amongst the crew as well. It was good for the cadets to get to see and know their captain.

“Sure,” Johnson said as his drink arrived. He picked it up and moved over slightly to join the conversation. Getting to spend some time with his fellow crew mates without having to give orders seemed like a good way to spend his time off duty.

“So what am I interrupting,” Johnson asked as he sipped his drink.

“Oh just some girl talk,” Marlene said jovially, looking over at Liadra and giving her a wink. Then she turned her eyes back to the Captain, giving him a long stare.

“Tell us, what is on your mind,” the green skinned doctor said, almost provocatively.

-Lt. Marlene Judas, CMO

Liadra really didn’t have to add anything, but grinned at Marlene’s invitation. How much would he let himself relax around the crew? She hadn’t yet spent enough time with him to know, but she also knew that she and Marlene might present a potential situation where their teasing might make things awkward, but she suspected that David could handle it. Hopefully, she mused as she sipped her drink.

Bump for CO

(OOC: Sorry… I may have disappeared for… 18 days?! Yikes! Bad Captain…)

David’s years in Command meant he wasn’t about to be scared off this easily…

“What’s on my mind?” David said, pausing to sip his drink. “Wondering which alien gods decided to punish me by putting me in the middle my counselor and chief medical officer’s … ‘girl talk’.

“Seriously, though, I’m just looking forward to getting us back on a mission. We’ve been too cooped up here at Earth, and I’m … itching… to get back out there.”
