Dominic smiled seeing the captain “I don’t think we have properly met yet captain, I do apologize for that. And I must say, I may not swing that way but man you look amazing. ” he said smiling at his captain after complimenting her.

”..Thank you Ensign. Good to know I still can turn heads of even those not interested in my sex..” The Romulan woman said with a light chuckle.

Ranlei giggled at Dominic’s comment. As she turned to answer Simon “I grew up in a Human colony and the 1930’s were a interesting era Simon. You don’t mind me calling you Simon do you? But to be too faithful to the era would clash with modern social customs”, She said hovering close to The Security Chief. And she nodded to the Doctor, “Catering to personal preferences was a large part of why this program took so long Dominic. Ihope you do not mind if I am informal Doctor. “, and she turned to the Approaching Captain who she was aware of but had never met face to face. Captain. I am glad you came. I hope you find everything satisfactory.”, while her role within the sim was as a Casino girl and lounge singer Ranlei could not help being the proud host as well. She flourished a hand and offered the Captain the ten thousand credit chips that each guest received as a courtesy.

”..I mainly came to let my hair down, the simulation is quite refreshing though..” She said taking a sip of her drink, then seeming to fall into musing of her own thoughts as the synthaloic liquid worked through her system she said, “..life as a Fleet Captain handling paperwork fleet wide, and those of a ship the size of the Ark Angel, and being a single mother raising a 7 year old daughter on her own keeps me on my toes. I don’t regret it or nothing but it is nice to find time to myself once in a while..” She replied

“We’re technically off duty right now, so that’s OK, but don’t do it in front of my security department, I have a reputation to maintain,” Simon responded with a smirk. “And good to see you captain. Heard the word casino and had to come check it out, everything is in order at least,” as he continued having some fun at the dabo table.

”..And you as well Lieutenant. Good to know you are keeping appraised of the going ons on my ship among the security roles..” She said.

Ranlei rolled her eyes and laughed, “What kind of Orion would I be if you could walk into my casino and spot illegal, dodgy or against regulations activity just by walking in and looking around Oberlieuntent Starr? Someday I will create a simple street activity scene for your use. You can train your Security in it. Score them and yourself on the number of infractions they see. But my casino is about having fun. Just relax and let the security I have programed into it deal with any issues. There were a few Ferrengi at the academy who like to see what they could get away with. I didn’t discourage them but I did list everything they tried back to them after each session.” She said in a joking tone.

“Hey, as I said, right now I’m off duty - and I have a reputation to maintain among my own officers,” Simon smiled as he cheekily placed down another bet on another round of dabo - he had been doing quite well so far, but only making small bets each round. He had actually decided this time to put an extra 100 down on two slots of the dabo wheel.

Dominic smiled watching Simon place his bets at the dabo table, he hadn’t actually ever really heard of dabo until now so he decided to watch Simon for a few minutes. Of course as Dominic was watching it unfold he had a light blush appear on his face.

Ranlei sighed. “Fine I will stop teasing you. Boring like all Security types. She said as a young bellhop came over and got her attention. She stopped smiling and said, “Excuse me folks looks like we have some VIP’s checking in that need my attention,, and she headed over to the ornate stained glass doors that led into the Hotel lobby and headed passed out of the Casino proper.

Simon shrugged “Ha, boring…” he let the word hang in the air for a moment as he thought.

“But Tom, that’s so boring - why do we have to move it, surely there’s machines for that now,” a young Simon in his minds eye said. “Simple, so that if someone thinks they can bully you at school, you can stand up for yourself, now flip it,” the other figure from the memory said. Thomas Starr, older brother of Simon, and he couldn’t help but smile as he had the flashback of one of his keen memories of his brother. Shaking his head slightly, he bought himself to the here and now. Thomas was missing, after all. He had looked out for him for years, and now it was Simon’s turn. Five years was a long time, and as he saw Ranlei leave he bought his attention back to the room, seeing the young doctor standing there. “So, you just gonna watch me or have you figured the game out yet?” he said warmly to the doctor in a very strong southern british accent, of a man who obviously grew up on a British farm.

Dominic blushed and smiled when heard Simon ask if he was gonna keep watching or try one out”not sure, I’ve never gambled before so ultimately this is new for me ” he said with a cheeky smile still blushing.

“Well, your not gonna lose or gain anything from here, if that were the case I would have already shut the place down,” Simon responded with a chuckle. “But it’s actually not that difficult to get ahold of. I’ll put ten credits on slot 8, 14, and 16” he said as he placed down the credits in the respective areas on the table before the wheel began spinning once more.

While he waited for the result, “Well, you only recently graduated and your still young… that makes sense that you haven’t done it before. If you know Roulette - the old game from home, it’s even easier to understand as it’s not that different,” Simon said as the wheel stopped, only one of his lines coming up with color 2 this time. “Oof, not a good run this time,” he said, putting the same bet on the same lines for the next spin.

Dominic had listened to Simon as to how to play, and had watched him place his bets before trying himself in the next round/play “well here goes nothing I guess”

Drudoc sat back crossing her long shapely legs over the other watching the officer’s banter and play. It were moments like these she mused she enjoyed. The sense of comradery and dare she say even family. Friendships were something that could be made or broken on deep space assignments like those the Ark Angel would find themselves on, and she was keen to study how she thought the groups forming and mingling would handle their coming missions. Even if fights or arguments would break out among the crew as she knew they would on a ship dynamically as large as the Mythology class she also knew that at the end of the day disagreements or even dislikes or not they had to get along for the safety and duty of the ship and crew. It was in those scope in the veins of relaxing that Drudoc also was here tonight.

At this time walked in Lt.(j.g.) Frogue. Up and until now he had really kept to himself; for Timothy to allow himself to interact like this was a big deal.

There were variables in the program so that every evining at the Lady Luck was different. She had fed in pretty much every trope used in Stories set in a Casino then added to that from other sources. The three VIP’s at the front desk were a odd lot to say the least. The Infamous Don Falcone and his two body guards. A noted Vulcan Anthropologist who was studying the so called seamy side of human culture. And a south American dictator indicated that this was going to be a weird night. Her plans to sing went out the window as The Don was only interested in watching her dance. “Don Falcone. Iwill have your usualy table ready in the Red Lounge.”, The Don as always kissed her hand nodded and headed for the elevator. She approached the Dictator next and greeted him with a smile, “El Presidante for life good to see you again.”, she said smoothly and didn’t cringe as he invariably insisted she sing for him tonight. It was going to a very tiring evening it seemed.The Vulcan she handed thex10,000 credits to and asked him not to just hover about watching others. Hexwas polite but gave no real answer. Once the three were dispatched to their rooms bellhops and baggage in tow behind them She turned and nearly bumped into a tall man in a white suit. “Mr. Rorke. She said in some surprise as a gaggle of teenagers and their Doberman walked past her talking to themselves. She frowned and was going to have to dial down the complexity a bit for the next run and maybe add a filter to group story elements in a more tightly defined genres. She was just thinking it couldn’t get stranger when In walked General Patton in full d ess uniform and that silly chrome parade helmet. OK. every time you ran a holosim on a new holodeck and under a new computer it developed quirks. Normally thesexquirks were hardly noticable. But getting so many major plot characters all at once was more than a quirk. She sat and tried to figure out what to do. Then headed back to the casino with a Smirk, “Let it ride.” She said as she rejoined the group at the Dabo table.
