Posted by Ensign Catt Beñnet (Science Officer) in Right Side of Sim. Lunch With Lt. Simon Starr. XO.
Catt used the hobby galley to prepare lunch. A year of cooming classes had given her some passable cooking skills. She knew Simon was from English farming stock by heritage so he would be used to that cuisine. So she went with bangers and mash as being the moore typical of that cuisine. But she was also aware that some people left the usual fare at home once the ventured forth. SHe ended up with three possible dishes by the time she stopped. Bangers and holiday mash. Which was a2 fancier version of mashed potatos. She also made both sliced chicken and meatloaf sandwiches. Her third option was of course a mixed vegitable medley. Salt pepper and hot sauce was on the side and optional. After all she had to live up to her reputation as the Caitan who set fire to peoples taste buds. She boxed the lunches in Japanesse style lunch boxes all neat and tidy and tapped her combadge.

Simon was in his office, going through stacks of paperwork when there was a monotone voice, the computer reminding him of the lunch meeting scheduled with Catt. It would be good to catch up, and getting a night’s rest definitely helped. It was about two moments later when his commbadge chirpped.

=/\=We can meet in 17/18 Forward, Ensign=/\= Simon replied before straightening his uniform and making his way to the turbolift to go to deck 18 and grabbing lunch. He needed to probably get some time with each of the crew in a less formal setting, and who better to begin that than the new officers. A few minutes later, Simon arrived and looked around briefly to see if Catt had already arrived, but as he did so multiple officers came up to him and asked if there was any news on the Browns Town crew. “We’re still investigating at the moment,” Simon seemed to say three times before he made it to a quiet table and people stopped bothering him.

Catt arrived a moment after Simon but held back as he was mobbed with questions, no wonder he was tired and frazzled last night when he finally sat and looked to be about to try to relax she cut off a crewman who was headed towards Simon. “He said they are still investigating and they will let everyone know once they know more.”, she told the man. Who she turned about and gave a small push off towards the far side of the room. She seated herself across from Simon while he was looking around for her and set out the three box lunches between them. “You know Sir I had thought you would want a more private setting for our date.”, she said softly just before he turned to look back at her. She was ready to burst out laughing as they both knew this wasn’t a date and their friendship wasn’t likely to develop that way. He had made a point of telling her she wasn’t his type after all.
