Hammor chuckled and said “Nope, you never know indeed…” and then he looked around for a second. “Well, if you are good here let’s hit the Ops.” and he lead the way back to the turbolift and took them to Deck 18.

“Yep, all good.” Faye had taken a cursory look around the labs, but in her mind, once you had seen one Starfleet science lab, you had seen them all. Sure, some like Cartography or Astrometrics could be really different and the technological advancements made those labs stand out as time went on, but for the most part, a lab was a lab was a lab.

Walking down the passageway, they came to a little used side passage and Hammor led them to a door marked simply “OPS”. It most definately was not the office he had first met Calloway in. He looked into an optical scanner and the door opened to reveal a large office space. The walls were lined with cages containing various pieces of equipment and some of the more ‘sensitive’ devices that Hammor liked to keep tabs on. In the middle of the room sat a circular desk with two chairs and multiple displays both in the desktop and on monitors. Daggum smiled and said “This is my baby. Not many people know it’s here. I think this area is actually marked ‘Master Systems Display’, but no one came in here for days or sometimes weeks on end. So, I made sure that everyone who needed that information had access to it remotely, set up a full Systems Monitoring / Diagnostics and Control Suite for all primary and secondary systems, and slapped a lock on the door. Now, only the Skipper, XO, Chief Engineer, and me have access to the room. I can monitor and access any system on board, and the Command staff has a fall back in case something happens to the upper decks. The only thing I can’t do from here is weapons and saucer separation; and I did that on purpose. Even put hard breaks between this and those systems to prevent sabotage.” And he looked at Calloway. “Now, normally I would be quite hesitant to bring you here, what with your ‘super-classified’ hijinks and all. But I figured that you should know about this so that when you see some odd code or programming sending data to a weird spot, you don’t freak out or get concerned.”

“Well then,” Faye said softly as she slowly circled the room and took in all the little details. He had to know by this point that her memory was particularly good, so it was likely she was memorizing quite a bit, just from a glance. turning to face him, Calloway simply nodded. “You don’t mess with mine and I won’t mess with yours,” she said with a slight grin. “Besides, I doubt all my ‘super-classified hijinks’ as you call them will cross your work so specifically. I appreciate you letting me know though,” she said sincerely.

Hammor knew she was probably mapping and inventorying the place as she looked around, but he simply nodded and said “Sounds good to me. And if something in the aforementioned hijinks goes awry, this is where we can fall back to deal with it. That work for you?” Hammor was still trying to figure out why he was so comfortable around the new arrival, but he simply files that away in his mind as ‘To Be Dealt With At A Later Time’.

She couldn’t help but chuckle slightly. “Our very own bunker, how fun! Better not let the rest of the crew know, they’ll be jealous,” Faye said airily.

“Jealous? You have any idea how many half-naked Ensigns I’d have to chase out of here if they knew about this place? It boggles the mind.” he said with a laugh.

“Okay, what else can you show me,” Faye said after looking around again. “Though honestly, one starship is pretty much like another and I’ve seen my fair share of them.” In her mind, this was going pretty well. After all, it wasn’t everyday that she spent so much time with one single person and managed to both not insult them or have them irritate her entirely. Though, there was still time.

Hammor chuckled. “The last person to ask me that regretted it almost immediately.” and he smiled at her, his teeth a brilliant white against the green skin. “How about we call it good for the tour, then? I’m hungry, and I owe you dinner. Or maybe you owe me. Either way, I think we should eat. Lounge again? Or I can take you to the Officer’s Mess. Better food, but closer quarters. Your call.” he asked.

Her grey-green eyes considered him carefully, even perhaps for a moment longer than might be socially expected. “Mess hall,” Faye said with a slight nod, as if deciding it as she spoke. Moving out of his operational room, Faye moved casually down the corridor. She suddenly stopped, frowning slightly as she closed her eyes. “Hold on a second,” she said softly.

Then just like that, Faye’s expression returned to one more neutral. “Alright, good to go.”

Hammor followed her out and made sure the door was locked. When Faye paused, he looked at her with a slightly perplexed look and said “You okay? Forget something? I mean, we can go back… or call it a night if you don’t feel up to dinner. Although the Rigelian stew is amazing. Just sayin’.”
