Kala turned in her chair as the voice of the newcomer, with ehr face in full view Kala recognized her immediately to be Eve the ships and maybe even the federations last few androids since its ban after the mars attacks. Having worked at the Daystrom institute and living on Trill Kala didn’t have any animosity towards androids, in fact, other than maybe Guy, Kala was very much looking forward to meeting her and had hoped to meet here at this social event if only to talk about how she was finding life in Starfleet among a few other more pressing scientific questions, Kala had come across Eve’s file as an understudy. Standing from her seat she smiled politely, Eve was shorter than Kala which she found odd as most androids she had seen or studied were usually taller. “Hello Eve, I would introduce myself but I can only imagine you have already figured out who I am, it’s very much a pleasure to meet you in person.” She stretched out her arm to shake the other woman’s hand.

The android’s head moved downwards then up again to signify confirmation. “I have studied the personnel files of every member of the Ark Angel crew and can identify every person on board by name, rank and physical appearance. However,” she added, her lips rising into a wry smile, “I do not believe that yet constitutes understanding who you are. For that, I would have to conduct a much deeper exploration of your beliefs, opinions and general personality. Something which I am greatly looking forward to, Kala.”

It was, perhaps, not the smoothest or most charming introduction that Eve could have offered to a potential new friend. But it was genuine. And sincere.

“Then that’s just as well I want to get to know your beliefs, opinions and general personality too, have you ever been to the Daytrsum institute Eve, I studied there for some time which is why I already knew about some aspects of your history.” Kala explained sipping on her Gin that had been readily brought over to her.

Trax was finishing off the preparations for his contribution to the party with some oscoid salad and some potato salad and macaroni salad. “There !” as he finished the final touches to the salads and placed them on a small grave utility cart along with utensils and dressings along with salad spoons and tongs for the salad. So he can to bring down to the holodeck where the party was to be healed as Trax was dressed in a nice off duty outfit. As he grabbed the cart and moved to the door to his room as it opened. He left his quarters and headed to the nearest turbo-lift near him as he pressed the call button. “I hope they picked a great venue.” Trax said to himself softly as the doors opened to the empty car as he entered with the cart. and he got turned around as the doors closed. “Holodeck one please. ” trax asked the lift as the lift started on its journey to its new location. moments later the lift came to a stop to add on more passengers. Trax smiled the best he could. Then I finally spoke. “Hello!” Trax commented to the newcomers to the lift. The others smiled back and returned there greetings to the doctor. As the doors closed and they added there stops to the lift as they were too heading to the holodeck. As the lift took off again to the location. a few moments later they stopped again as the doors opened and they exited the lift along with Trax and cart in tow. as he turned to follow the others to the BBQ Party. He was pleased there seems to be a good turnout and he felt a lot of questions being asked or felt about the party and the host. But Trax did not stop to ask about it as he approached the holodeck doors as they opened to a beautiful setting. As he entered and moved towards the buffet table and placed his contributions on the table nicely and arranged it for a more pleasing effect as he placed the utensils near there respective dishes. as he moved the cart out of the way so others could begin to enjoy the dishes and the activity. Trax got a small plated and gathered some of his favorite dishes and moved to get a drink and he walked to the pavilion to find a shady play to sit and eat. He greeted people as he passed them politely. He found an empty table to sit at with a nice view of the area and with a less instructive view and to take advantage of the nice breezes. As he sat down and started to nibble the food he picked.

Lt Trax Suder - CMO

Seeing the CMO, another crewmember whom Eve knew by personnel record only, move away from the small crowd to take a seat, the android decided to approach him for an introduction.

“Hello, Lieutenant Suder,” she announced. “I am Eve. I have brought beer. Would you like some beer?” And with that, she separated a single can from the pack and held it aloft towards the medical chief.

Simon was staring at the federation logo stoicly when the message for the BBQ came through. He had just received some troubling news, and now he had to fulfill his own promise. He didn’t know too much, just that a new name appeared as a person of interest in the relation to the Orion Sydicate. A captain of a mercanary that worked for them for hire. When he saw the captain’s name, he ran the intelligence against the things he knew about Thomas. Just because the name matched, Simon wanted to be sure - but there was his gut feeling. He trusted it during his time as a security officer, and he knew to trust it now. Captain Thomas Starr is wanted in relation to crimes of the Orion Syndicate. That was the notification he was given. And the only information he had.

He got briefly distracted, seeing the ping, and when he saw it from Guy, he knew it would be a good opportunity to schedule an appointment. He was going to need it. But, as first officer, he knew it would be good to mingle to get a feel for the crew morale on the ship, so he decided to make a note to record a message when he got back. He also hadn’t been to a BBQ since he was on Earth, as a graduation party in England. He put on his off-duty wear, a checked shirt and black jeans, and a pair of black shoes that were a cross between comfort wear and work wear, it was sort of difficult to tell. He then went to the holodeck, and the smell of the smoke and cooking food was the first thing to hit his nose, and was always the first thing he remembered about these things. It helped distract him from the news he had, but he did appear to be a bit troubled as he began greeting those that arrived. “Well, that smells good,” he said, forcing a smile to at least appear like his mind was in the right place.

With the shortly paused arrival of Eve, Trax and the XO, Guy started feeling the usual odd impression of overpopulation. Indeed, never Guy had stayed in a room with more than the entire DH complement.
“Uhm…” Guy shyly introduced himself “Welcome to you all. Please feel free to get a seat and enjoy… this evening!” He arguably chuckled nervously “I am still grilling some Hamburgers, steaks and hot dogs. So if you want to order some drinks…? I will serve you.” He paused “Oh and to get some fun, I and Eve organized some poker to enjoy altogether.” He pointed out the cards and the fiches stacks.
From now on, the party would’ve been interesting but not for Guy. Not yet.

Lieutenant Freeman, Guy - Chief Counselor Officer

At the mention of her name, Eve briefly shifted her focus from Suder and back towards the rest of the group. “Yes, we have organised poker,” she agreed. “And I am now well versed in how to lose!”

• Eve (Eng)

All trax could do is smile at eve’s comment on losing. But did not say anymore. He would probably be in the same boat as her being on the losing side. As he returned back to his meal.

Kala had left the company of Eve and Guy both of whom she would have been more than happy to spend the entire event with but had made the conscious decision to mingle with as many people a possible, after all, she loved these kinds of events and was the ‘new girl’. “Doesn’t it just!” She exclaimed turning to the lieutenant commander holding her glass of gin in one hand and what the holographic chef had called a ‘Hot Dog’ in the other. She didn’t need to be told what was in it just that it tasted amazing!. “I really recommend this… they call it a Hot Dog!”

Simon chuckled at the comment. “America did always come up with the strangest of names for things. I assure you, I have no idea why we called it that - I mean, the meat was typically made of pig…” he said. “I was always more a fan of the burger though. Double cheese for mine, if you don’t mind,” he called over to Guy as he prepared the food. “You know, a year ago, I was in a similar position at the Academy. The counsellor had arranged a meal, it ended up in a discussion on how the counselor managed to get real, non-replicated, food onto the Challenger. One of my favorite times at the Academy,” he shared, breaking the ice. “Of course, this time,” he said with a smile pointing to the surroundings. “It’s replicated, definitely replicated,” he concluded. He kept warm as he discussed, and then when he had reminisced in the moment. It always brought back good memories. “Now, you are in a similar position to I was on this ship. How was the academy for you?” he asked curiously. The reports told him what the officers excelled in, but not necessarily what they took away.

“Y-Yessir.... Double Cheese ahahah…” Guy chuckled. As the burgers and the meats cooked, the counselor put plenty of dishes with already heated buns, prepared to be assembled into burgers and hotdogs. In addition, all the sauces were not replicated but prepared by Guy himself. Too busy to tell them about his effort, he just left them there silent assembling the firsts hamburgers.
“Oh if you don’t mind,” Guy selected his words “Could you please pass me my glass of Italian Wine?”

Kala sipped her Gin and thought carefully for a moment, “It was a lot different to how I pictured it, I had this image of grandeur but it was all made relatively small by the way I had to leave Trill and by the Daystrum institute, whiiich is a conversation for another time.” She added finishing her hot dog and followed it down with another larger sip of Cherry gin. “That said I did learn to enjoy it even if it didn’t have anything on the Daystrum Institute and I’m glad I did it because I wouldn’t be here speaking to you. What did you think of the Academy sir?”

It was about this point the holodeck doors slid open and two more figures entered. The first was the half-romulan/human now 8 year old daughter of the Captain’s, Tel’eck Andone. She was dressed in a florescent white-pink jump suit that stood out starkly to the colors around them. Drudoc herself meanwhile also entered in a more casual off duty jump suit of grey tones. “..Wow Mom there’s so many people here! Looks like I’m the only big kid here though. That ok?” the girl said.

Drudoc looked about, “..I’m sure its quite alright, just don’t cause any trouble. Go get us a table and drinks. I’ll be along shortly.” She said. The girl happily dashed off to the food and drink table. While Drudoc moved over to where Guy, Eve, and the others were gathered. “..I trust the invite to everyone includes myself and Tel’eck? If its an issue for her to be here just let me know..” She said letting it clear if it was a problem they should say so.

Drudoc Andone CO

And after a few more minutes another Roman entered the holodeck wearing black trousers and his Roman Academy polo shirt. He went inside and headed straight for the bar.

Simon acknowledged the new figures arriving, seeing the captain bring her daughter along. Tal’eck was growing up quickly, and he swore every time he got a chance to see her on the ship, she was another few inches taller. He only had limited intereaction with the non-crew members, but being the captain’s daughter - it was probably one of the younger people on the ship that he actually saw more often than not. As Tel’eck went over to grab the captain and herself a table, he personally didn’t see a problem with the captain and her daughter being here, but this was Guy’s event and so left that decision up to him. “Good to see you captain,” he said, still trying to find a moment to catch Guy alone to ask to set up an appointment.

Trax started to feel out of place as he finished off the lovely food and beverage as he moved to the replicator for recycling of the plate and utensils he would gather his dishes later after all was done as he headed to the exit quietly. He realizes this was a bad idea for him to be here now as he couldn’t wait to leave now. He tried not to make it obvious that he was leaving. as he greeted others as he passed by and had brief conversations with them as he walked. He grabbed another beverage something that was tropical looking as he took a sip and moved alone. As he approached the exit the doors appeared and gave the doctor what he wanted a way out.

Kala was strolling the field her gun mostly finished and having spoken to mostly everyone already she was trying to think of what to do next when she saw Lieutenant Trax heading to leave. Finding her stride Kala fell in step with the man, no wanting to top him leaving but more to check he was OK. The last time they spoke Kala enjoyed their conversation and hoped their second would also bare fruit. “You’re leaving?” She asked pleasantly as they stepped out of the holodeck.
