“Sometimes close enough is enough,” she said softly, her thoughts drifting. But Shara pulled herself back quickly and focused on Varen again. “I say, share your program, imperfect though it may be. We don’t always get the chance to revisit places important to us.”

He thought on that a moment. “You are right for sure, ” he noted with a slight smile and nod. “Well, you mentioned that you workout in your room, what’s your chosen method of self torture” he said with a laughed. He himself mostly stretched and ran two things he really did not mind.

OOC: anyone should feel free to join in the convo.

A smirk tugged at her lips. “Bodyweight conditioning, martial arts. My husband and I will spar. We don’t go easy on each other either,” Shara said with a chuckle. Which really was funny once someone saw and met the former Starfleet Marine turned Federation Security agent. Shara wasn’t dainty by any stretch of the imagination, but Micah had a lot of width and weight on her.

“The holosuites have regularly scheduled range practice times, so if you want to work on weapons skills in amongst combat skills, there are times for that.”

The thought of fighting on any level really had not appealed to him he was certainly more of an academic. He had done fine with training and practiced from time to time as well. “I must say I don’t tend to do a lot of combat training, ” he smiled slights “I’m more of a jogger” he noted. “Taking tail runs in my mind or on the holodeck when I can. Some extra small arms work might not hurt through” he said the took another bite of his salad and a sip of water.

She nodded slowly. “And that would be fine on a science vessel or something less… unpredictable. But I would caution you that the nature of our work here means we need to be prepared for anything. It may not be a preference, but make sure you include some of those combat skills in your training so when we do drills, you’ll feel comfortable and prepared.”

It was that moment that Lisa walked into the lounge. She was her usual unkempt self. Although she appeared dirtier than usual if that were possible. Her greasy hair had a shine to it as she walked over to the replicator.
“Coffee, black.” She said and a cup of hot coffee materialised. Picking up the cup she moved over to an empty table. She pulled out a padd and began to type away, her mind buzzing with thoughts barely aware of Shara and Varan.

The security chief walked into the small lounge, she was already carrying her own coffee. How indulgent to get to drink caffeine again. Though she found after all these months, that a little went a very long way. She lived the taste of coffee though.

It had been a long shift of welcoming new crew. Over half her department had requested transfers or resigned after that last mission. She couldn’t blame them. But it made for long days putting new teams and shifts together. To find the right balance. She headed for the replicator, grabbed some food, and then headed for a table. She nodded to Calloway as she passed. It looked like she was with the new CSO and another new engineer was in the lounge as well. New faces, new possibilities, and hopefully a new, but safer, mission.

Varen smiled at the others as the walked by making a note to say hello if he got the opportunity .”I mean I train and maintain my currency for armed and unarmed combat but. ” he hesitated she understood his point and had a valid point .” I would appreciate some additional training under the circumstances.

His eyes shifted over the the rather messy engineer at the table, it seemed either hygiene was not a thing on the ship, which he doubted. More than likely she was just very busy. He realized that he was probably staring a little too long as he often did when he was thinking. He smiled and turned his attention back to who he was having lunch with. “Is that something you an your husband can help me with?” he noted “or should I talk with the chief of security?” his eyes shift over to where Gadi was sitting
