Songz laughed lightly. “Not a clue, to be honest. I’m pretty new myself. So… I propose an experiment of our own. Let’s start with the hypothesis that there are interesting things going on. We both need to be social and get to know our crewmates better. So, perhaps we should venture out together and see if we can find out from the crew themselves what sort of things people are doing off-duty?”

Namid propped their elbows against their knees, curiosity brightening their eyes. They hadn’t expected her confession to relieve them, but it helped to know they weren’t alone in this struggle. Joining forces on an experiment was just the icing on the cake. Even if their outing ended in shambles, they would better know one crewmate—each other.

“That’s....” they grinned, “…a really great idea. I think it could be fun. When are you free?”

Sair beamed, glad they were going to take up her offer. “How about this evening? We can see what sort of trouble we can get into,” she said, her eyes gleaming. It was more than just socializing for her as well. By going with a Starfleet officer, hopefully Sair could become more comfortable within the structure and not feel like (and be treated) as an outsider.

Namid was too absorbed in their thoughts to notice the vibrance creeping into their grin. Tonight seemed lightyears away and yet far too soon, but they found the discomfort compelling. “Sure,” Namid nodded. “We could meet in the lounge around 20:00?” They weren’t sure how comfortable Sair felt around ‘Fleeters, but they knew they would feel uneasy surrounded only by civilians. The lounge seemed unadventurous, but it presented a valuable middle ground where Namid hoped they could both find comfort. Besides… if they really wanted trouble, it was never more than a moment’s glance away. “I hear that’s when things start to get interesting.”

Sair chuckled. “That sounds like a plan. I’m curious to see what constitutes interesting. My experience as a emergency room doctor and now as a mental health trauma specialist tell me that your interesting and mine are vastly different and I can’t wait to see what happens on this ship.” She tapped on her PADD for a moment. “Okay, we’re all done here for today. It’s up to you whether you feel you want a follow up, but I say we say how tonight goes and if you want to come back for a chat, I’m only an appointment away.”
