The last mission had taken a toll on the Memorial crew and Captain Nightroad and Cmdr Nix thought a party would do everyone some good. They put together the idea of a black and white party. Giving the quartermaster a few guidelines, they let him and his department run with it. Now, Qyra entered the holodeck to make any last minute changes, to see the finished product.

The theme was ‘black and white, all night’ and what the quartermaster and his minions had done was nothing short of remarkable. A large dancefloor was in the middle of the space, its floor laid out in black and white tiles. Several tables were placed throughout the rooms with linen cloths and padded chairs. Chandeliers hung from the ceiling, spilling light that shone through the faceted crystals and danced about the room in colorful prisms.

There was a bar on each of three walls, and an assortment of finger foods laid out on a 20 ft long table at one end of the room. Everything was high quality, from the cutlery to the nine piece band that was set up near the dancefloor. The quartermaster at her side, waited for Qyra’s opinion on how successful he’d been. She looked over at him and smiled. “This is magical. I can’t believe how much you and your people accomplished in so little time. Kuddos to all of you!”

“Thank you, Cmdr, we aim to please.” His back straightened a little more. He couldn’t wait to share her praise with his staff.

He took his leave then, hurrying back to his quarters to change as he, too, would be attending the party.

Left alone, Qyra made her way to the closest bar and ordered vodka and pineapple juice. She turned and looked back over the holodeck. It was wonderful. Now all that was left was for the crew to arrive.

OOC: This is a fancy, formal party and everyone is to wear black and/or white.

Commander Qyra Nyx
Executive Officer USS Memorial

Rado was the first to enter, wearing a black robe that he hadn’t worn in about a decade. He tripped on the carpet and fell flat on his face. Quickly standing back up, he stood up to survey who had seen his tumble. Luckily for him, the only ones who could have seen it were the quartermaster, some cadet, and some lady who looked like the new Executive Officer…

Wait, that was new XO. “Prophets,” Rado uttered before speaking louder, “Um, uh, hello.”
