<SNIP>

Cochrane shook his head and laughed. “Nope. Tried a couple of times. It didn’t work out so well. Something about me ‘loving your job more than’… insert woman’s name, take your pick… ‘than you love me’. Meh, they were probably right.” and he took a drink. “So to completely change the subject. Why did you decide to come to a Federation ship? I know why I chose to serve on Klingon ships. But I imagine my reasoning doesn’t work both ways.”

“Your females are all the same, all too soft and squishy.” Kalitta took a peanut of the table and crushed in her hand for dramatization. “Klingon woman like a strong willed man who enjoy their job and do things for the glory of the empire or the family name.” Kalitta took the string out of her hair and let it fall down to her shoulders.

“I was originally told to Join star fleet in a officer exchange program. But before I could serve on a ship I had to pass some star fleet qualifications and pass their medical practices course. They probably figured that I wouldn’t have any sort of bed side manor.” Kalitta looked pensive for a moment thinking back to when she attended the academy for a short period of time. “To be honest I didn’t have a bed side manor for about a year till I understood that most star fleet officers want to be babied when ever they have a little cut or bruise.”

Kalitta took another drink. “I suppose I am used to this life style now. It is nice knowing that the person who wants to replace you won’t literately stab you in your back for your job.”

Cochrane, XO

Cochrane laughed out at the comment and then said “To true.”

Trax decided to mingle a bit trying to stay out of anyway. as he made it towards the bar. “What’s the special tonight guys?” Trax asked casually as he grabbed a few peanuts from the bowl. As he watched the bartender getting drinks for the others first. As he tried to see if there was anything or anyone interesting around. Trax did his best to stay calm and collected and made sure he was not probing with his mind. just normal surface thought would be all he would gather. nothing deeper as he focused on his drink at present.

Ensign Trax Suder Jo Doctor

What the ensign could sense is a building sexual desire from Kalitta towards Cochrane. Though it was probably the blood wine doing the talking.

Lt.Cmdr Kalita - CMO

Cochrane saw Suder at the bar and looked over at Kalita. “Have you met Doctor Suder yet?” he asked, indicating the Junior Medical Officer with a nod in his direction.

Cochrane, XO

Trax noticed the xo’s indication to have him come over he really did not want to get in the way but he figured he better go over as he was directed. He started walking towards them noting the tension from both for the same source or different he was not sure and was not trying to pry. When he got close enough to speak without yelling. “Good afternoon sirs.” Trax commented politely to them both. As he kept a comfortable distance from the Klingon. As he grabbed a challis of Bloodwine and took a sip. Trax has never had blood wine before so it was a new taste for him. It was strong and rough like a Klingon warrior can be. Trax thought to himself. before speaking again. “Is everything ok Sir looking at the xo are you feeling ok?” Trax asked being a doctor it might give him some cover for discomfort.

Ensign Trax Suder Jo Doctor

Kalitta shot a look of annoyance at Trax almost to say you are disturbing our private conversation. “No I have not had a chance to meet with all of my junior doctors yet.”
Kalitta watched as the ensign drank some blood wine and nearly sputter as it went down. “That there ensign is the real blood wine. Not that replicated crap.”

Lt.Cmdr - Kalitta - CMO

Not too long after, the door to the lounge (?) opened and in stepped what was probably the shortest member of the crew. Standing at almost exactly 1 meter tall, the furry face of the alien chief of science looked around with a decent modicum of curiosity before settling on faces she recognized, and faces she did not. In her civvies right now, she was dressed in loose pants and a flowing shirt. Galdori in general weren’t fond of tight or closely-fitting clothing, and Sadie was no exception. She had a few small piercings in as well, ones which she always had to take out when she was on duty.

She watched Cochrane, Trax, and Kalitta for a while, interested in the interplay and interactions between people of several different worlds.
