Seeing everyone looking like they were going to the same place he asked, “..So are all you folks going to the same place as Ensign Ollie here? If so get up onto the pad and I’ll beam you all in one go, otherwise you’ll need to queue up to let me know where you’re going if not the colony market..” he said.

Ollie arched an eyebrow at the transporter officer, “Ensign? Billis, did seeing all my spots out of uniform confuse you?”

Izak glanced around the transporter room. “I’m in… and Wyatt… you already look like youre dressed for warm weather. Up for some beach time?” Luckily a pair of shorts and some sandals were tucked safely away in Izak’s satchel.

The brekkian walked up to the transporter pad and took his place. Then he looked sat NE Billis. “I think Roger would be down for the beach as well… can you beam Ensign Sanks down to our location when he arrives?”

Billis blinked confusion on his face looking at Ollie, “..Wha…what do you mean uh…” he paused brow furrowed before he added, “..s…sorry uh Lieutenant sir…” looking down at his console to input the data Izak then said.

Ollie looked around at all of the junior officers that had gathered for beach time, several of them his own security officers. It would appear he would have to behave himself on this little outing. He gave a smile to the group, “Let’s get this show on the road. All ashore’s goin’ ashore! Billis, you energize as soon as the last person gets their feet on this pad.”

OOC: I’ll be splitting this thread off after this reply, continue further in that thread then…

”..Energizing..” Billis said once everyone going to the beach was on the pads, in a swirl of lights they spun away to their destination.

When the group rematerialized they were in a shallow coastal valley, behind them ranging off for some miles was a mostly small series of hills, spanned by flowing shades of green and lightly orange colored grass up on the hills, with a small stream trickling down either side to combine into a larger one that made its way further down the shallow valley emptying into the nearby ocean about 100ft off from where they stood. The sandy beach was warm to the touch, the air was also warm but crisp and clean with a hint of a citrus and salty ocean smell on the air. Above some long winged gull like birds native to the planet flew on the thermals heading in land and out further to the ocean. The water coming from up the valley was fresh and clear and cool, mixing with the salty ocean nearby which was much warmer. Gently lapping on the beach gentle waves were in evidence with a crisp clear sunny sky also present.

Scans from before their beam down showed the closest Sal Colony settlement was about 30-40 miles to their north up along the coast. So they had the place to themselves,

Ollie sighed as he felt the sun’s rays touch his skin. It had been way too long since he had been to the beach. He kicked off his flip flops and relished the feeling of the sand between his toes and then threw off the tank top. Glancing around their area he took a quick survey of the scene to make sure there were no obvious threats in the area, a security officer is never truly off duty, and allowed his Betazoid senses to reach out around the group to make sure he didn’t sense anything alarming.

Briefly turning his attention to the other officers that had beamed down he said, “Alright, so just to be clear there’s no ‘sir’ or ‘Lieutenant Commander’ or anything down here right now. I’m Oliver, or Ollie if you’re feeling comfy about it, and I am going to soak up every last ray of sunshine I can here and see if any of those waves out there are worth paddling out for. If anyone already knows how to surf or wants some pointers, I’m happy to share. If you all just want to sit and watch a pro do his thing, that’s cool too. Otherwise… don’t do dumb stuff.”

He gave them all a bright smile and a wink, gestured toward the ocean and turned to head down to the shore to check out how the waves were behaving.

Izak’s first reaction was to look down at the sand and frown as it got on his boots. Yep… I’m a space kid. I don’t think I’ll ever get use to how dirty things can get on the surface.

Beyond that though, he looked at the ocean and felt the heat from the sun on his face… contrasting with the gentle breeze. But I suppose it does have its perks.

Izak glanced around and realized there was no civilization nearby. He knew the colony wouldn’t have anything approaching a resort, but he figured there’d at least be some sort of beach town . Oh well.

After Ollie gave his spiel about everything being casual, Izak went around one of the gentle hills to change into shorts, some spot that he hoped would be out of casual view of the ocean and anybody else beaming down Unless NE Billis decides to get a little mischievous.

Now properly dressed for the location, a barefoot and shirtless Izak started walking toward the beach to catch up with the others.

OOC: Qrow, I think your post got out of sync somehow. I was going to copy it in here but the thread is snipped. So you’re down here with us :)

IC: Ollie approached the surf and studied the waves a bit. Not the best he had seen but also not the worst. He figured it would do for now. He wandered out into the water, noting that it was cooler than he would prefer but, like the waves, it would do for now. As he got out to deeper water he put down his board and hopped on, paddling out further. When he had gotten out to the his perfect spot he sat down to wait and looked back toward the beach surveying what the rest of the group was doing.

Wyatt moves to stand beside Izak, tugging lightly at his shirt with a small, self-conscious shrug.

“Never really know what to wear for something like this,” he admits. “It’s been a long time since I’ve had any real R&R—between being stationed here, the Academy, and working the docks back on Earth… there just wasn’t time.”

He lets out a quiet breath, a hint of a smile forming. “Didn’t exactly get the chance to relax on a beach somewhere, so yeah—I’m really looking forward to this.”

He taps the backpack he was carrying. “I’ve got my uniform with me, just in case I’m needed. Don’t think there’ll be any issues… but you know—better safe than sorry.”

Ensign Wyatt Jacen Blackford

While back on the transporter pad, Izak shook his head. “Now I wish id brought my uniform too. Do you think it’ll be a quasi formal dinner?” He glanced from Wyatt to Ollie. “Well, at least I wint bebthe only one without a uniform.”

Izak was running to catch up with the others after changing into shorts, then decided to continue to run past them toward the ocean.

He dropped his satchel on a dry spot on the beach and sthen printed over the last stretch of sand to plunge into the ocean.

It was shockingly cold, jarring his senses. Izak couldn’t help but yelp as he popped his head back up.

“Uh… don’t mind me everyone. The water is perfectly fine, im just a wimp that grew up on climate controlled ships. Its fine.... honest.” Lt Waryn was sure his shivering and attempts to stay warm undercut the validity of his story.
