“It depends,” Sair said. “On the whole, most people are excited to serve here and love the work they are doing. As you noted, it’s a bit of an odd crew, and being out here requires us to be resourceful and creative. We don’t have the same access to shore leave that we might otherwise, so we have to find ways to let off steam and socialize as needed. There are also those who struggle to be so far away from home, especially if they have been previously used to visiting more often. We can’t exactly just zip off to go visit family whenever we’re inclined to. Even with the wormhole, as you know, it take time to travel out to Event Horizon Station and that’s not factoring in whether the ship is even there to meet you.”

“I think that distance can be a great boon to some, and for others can exacerbate issues they might be having. that can in turn reflect in interpersonal interactions. So.. something to be aware of,” she said. Not that there were brawls or anything, but tensions could get high and sometimes needed a small amount of intervention.

Eilah nodded. “In that case, I hope to see a great many events for the crew to participate in. Might even be worth doing some games or something, build teamwork.” He commented.

Songz tilted her head. “Games? What sort of games?” she asked, immediately curious. Kobliad and games weren’t exactly synonymous most of the time, certainly not outside of childhood.

Eilah gave her a slightly confused, but mostly playful look. “Ever play potato sack race? They made us do it in the Academy. You race, except one of your legs is tied to someone else’s. So you have to work as a team to win.”

~ Fayth, COS

Sair shook her head. “I’m not Starfleet. I never went to the Academy, well… not like you did. I did a bit of cross-training through Starfleet Medical in order to be able to serve on a Starfleet facility or ship. But I never played a game like you described like that before. There might be something on Kobliad that is similar, but nothing I ever played myself.”

“I’m sure we could find somewhere to set it up,” Eilah said with this knowing grin. It would be hilarious to watch. “It’ll be fun to learn. Promise.”

~ Fayth, COS

Songz looked mildly skeptical, but there was also a sense of curiosity flowing through her. “Well, I will try anything at least once, so why not? What other sort of team building games do people here do?”

~Sair Songz, CNS

“Blind fold mazes.” Eilah said and grinned again. “One person goes through a maze blindfolded while their partner who can see them guides them.”

~ Fayth, COS

Songz burst out into laughter. “Oh… oh, we definitely should do that one,” she said, laughing some more. These actually were really great ideas. Sair was usually focused on the individuals that made up the crew, and also keeping an eye on the overall tenor of the ship and making suggestions when she felt that people were overly stressed or what not. “These are so different than anything I ever did when I was a doctor working in a hospital. The structure and discipline is similar to Starfleet, but it really is a whole different world here.”

~Sair Songz, CNS

“As Security chief, I say there’s nothing more important than a team that can work together. Individual mood plays into that, but a good team also raises morale.” Eilah smiled. “Of course, I can read the overall ship mood, but keeping that teamwork going, that takes work.”

Then he nodded. “My sister is the chief medical officer on Oed. I hear all about how the hospitals work. It is absolutely very different.”
