“the mater of fact counselor It is my first assignment to this ship.” Trax commented softly. “I figured i would start a tradition to tour the ship so that i would know the ship and crew better.” Trax said with a polite smile as he looked at the counselor and xo.

“Well, may this be a pleasant assignment for you, doctor.” Roux remarked, nothing short of a polite nature to her gentle tone. “I have to give you that one, a good tradition to begin.”

The XO looked at the Doctor and said “That is a fine idea, Mr. Suder. I may have to steal that myself going forward.” he said with a smile of genuine approval.

“Thank you, sir !” As Trax beamed with a nice smile on his face. “your more than welcome sir!” as he waited for the counselor to answer him. Along with the xo response to the shuttle bay questions. He moved on to the next several levels he knew they would respond when they were ready too. As he moved on as they left deck 44 as they casually walked through the engineering sections of 43 through to 39 all was familiar to Trax as the moved along. “Wow, I was not of a sickbay 3! Is it usually closed and offline?” Trax wondered as he asked the others.

Delarosa looked to Cochrane for the answer, as she was just as new as the good Doctor.

“Reserved for overflow casualties during combat operations. Allows for greater flexibility in triage and treatment, I believe is the justification used. Sounds solid to me, but I am no doctor, Doctor.” Cochrane said with a grin.

“That makes logical since due to it saves the hassle to change over the holdeck and cargo bays too. but its not needed unless something massive happened.” Trax commented back quickly slightly blushing. “I should have known that “ He thought to himself as he walked again. As the finished off the level as he tapped the call button to the turbo lift car. As they waited calmly for the car to arrive. As they moved into the lift and moved to deck 38.

Delarosa checked the time upon a nearby chronometer, realizing she had an appointment. “Oh dear! I’m so sorry to interrupt you two, but I must be going.” She offered a wry smile to try and hide the sheepishness of her own forgetfulness. “Do enjoy the remainder of your tour; I hope to catch up with you two, soon!” She waved, bading them farewell before disappearing down the hall, as if she hadn’t even been there, before.

Trax was going to say something but stopped. “Well, I guess it is just us sir?” Trax said with a polite smile as it faded as fast as it appeared. As they continued there tour of deck 38.

“Indeed, Doctor. I hope that doesn’t lessen your interest in the ship.” Cochrane said with a friendly chuckle.

OOC: Just something to throw in here for fun…

As the pair were passing arboretum 3 the one door opened and one of the Ark Angel’s children came dashing out running past the pair, and hotly pursued by one of the ship’s care takers “..Charles Backer you get back here right now!” Shouted one of the older woman to the 10 year old boy who laughed merrily with a bottle of some kind in his hand, “..you could break that plant sample!!” she shouted.
