Mwezi sat at the table in his new quarters aboard the new ship, eating his midday meal in solitude. It was a beautiful ship, far more impressive than the previous model, although the ‘pirate’ skin placed over everything reduced that magnificence slightly, at least in the visual department. Luckily, like the Captain, he wasn’t serving under a false identity, so he could still display his framed photos of himself and his partners on the walls. As he finished his meal, a light alarm went off from his wrist and he turned to glance at the small holographic screen that popped up.

–Meeting with Captain; 1500h–

“Ah, I didn’t realise it was so close to that time. Better get going.” Mwezi put away his dishes and left his quarters, making his way at a reasonable pace towards the Captain’s office, arriving at precisely 1455 and pressing the chime.

Sara had a few minutes to relax and not think about anything. Or so she thought. The chime went, and she sighed deeply. She straightened herself up a little and called out “Come in.” She wasn’t expecting anyone until Mwezi was due in about five minutes.

Mwezi walked into Sara’s office and placed a hot mug of Apple Cider on the desk in front of her, a second, slightly larger mug of the same beverage in his other hand. “Afternoon, Captain. Sorry if I’m a little early. I brought something to compensate.” He smiled slightly, then sat across from Sara and placed his mug down on a coaster. “Let’s just enjoy these for a few minutes more before we start our meeting, eh?”

Mwezi would be lying if he said he hadn’t done a little research about how humans formed bonds. Remembering his first Captain’s love of coffee had given him this idea, and it had only took some light questioning of the cooks in the lounge to find out what Sara’s favourite was.

“Gunning for a medal, eh?” Sara said with a coy smile. As the mug slid in front of her, she smelled the apple and the spices and let that sit for a moment. “Thank you. Out of curiosity, who told on me? Everyone in the senior staff thinks I’m a coffee drinker… as far as I know.” She relaxed in her chair and took a sip. “Perfect.”

“It wasn’t anyone in the senior staff. Kiell, one of the bartenders.” Mwezi replied, taking a sip of his own mug, although not before taking a deep breath and experiencing the smell of the thing. He tilted his head, letting the cider sit in his mouth for a moment before swallowing. “An interesting taste. Odd that I’ve managed to live among humans for seven years and haven’t tried all your beverages yet. I will have to recommend it it to Shilo once we are allowed to contact… anyone outside this ship. They’re quite fond of fragrant foods and drinks.”

“I’ll have to lock Kiell in the brig.” Sara joked. “The variety of food and drink you’ll find all around the earth- I doubt I’ve had everything. It’s a challenge worth trying though. Shilo… that name sounds vaguely familiar from your personnel file.”
