Checking with the other med staff that he wasn’t immediately engaged, but also hadn’t yet called it a night, Koraia sent her CMO a message:
To: Lieutenant Commander Grey, Benjamin (Chief Medical Officer)
From: Fleet Captain Koraia, Ghubari (Commanding Officer)
Re: Meeting
As discussed, we should meet. Arboretum 3, Deck 38. 2100 hours.

Checking the time, it gave them both an hour to sort out anything and be off duty before they met. Nodding to herself, Koraia sent the message.

Ben was sitting at his desk when he received the message. He smiled slightly and looked at the drawer. No, I’ll open a new one He though to himself. When his shift finally ended he made his way to his quarters and gathered a few supplies. He replicated a few chose items and placed them all in a Duffel bag. After preparing the supplies he changed into his Civilian outfit, back slacks and brown shoes and a dark shirt. He put the duffel over one shoulder and made his way down 34 floors.
After arriving at precisely 2100 hours he took a seat on one of the benches near the main entrance and waited, stretching out his legs.

Typically punctual, Ghubari had had every intention of beating Ben there, but when a small matter came up shortly before she planned to call it a day, she ran late. And then of course at that point she wanted to change out of her uniform, so took the extra few minutes to do so.
At 2110, Koraia wandered in, dressed in a back sleeveless top and a black and purple patterned wrap skirt from her homeland called a khanga, her short mass of dark hair wrapped up in a black scarf. “Oh Ancestors,” it’s been a long day,” she sighed as she approached the bench.
Ghubuari gestured with her head. “Why don’t we wander and find somewhere less… conspicuous?” she said with a gleam in her pale amber eyes.

“Of course” Ben stood up, grabbing his duffel and tossing it over his shoulder. He took a sizable sniff and thought for a moment “There should be a nice clearing a few meters this way” He said knowingly as he started walking with the Captain. He didn’t say anything as they walked, much too busy looking around and using his sense of smell to guide him.
A moment later they arrived in a small clearing, covered by plants, allowing them a modicum of privacy. Ben dropped his Duffel on the ground “A place to set camp if there ever was one” He knelt to one knee and opened the bag, rummaging a bit before grabbing three cylindrical objects. Two of the Same size and one larger. He handed Koraia one of the smaller, placing the other under his arm. The larger one he put near the ground and pressed a button on the top. Three legs sprung from the bottom and he put it down. After securing it in its place the top rose to form a small round table. Ben looked back at the Captain with a smile “We used tah go campin’ or hikin’ on the regular back home. I had the replication file on hand in case I ever had the chance out here” He took the smaller cylinder and pressed the button. This time it split into four legs and with cloth in between. When it fully opened it was a camping chair with a back and armrests, the armrest on the right had an opening for a glass.
Next, he grabbed two bottles from the bag and four glasses, two whiskey, and two shot glasses and placed all of it on the table. One of the bottles was a simple shaped bottle marked ‘Grey Isle - 2389’ and filled with brown liquid. the second had a more intricate design, the neck spiraling down and ending in a beautifully blown out blue tinted glass. The liquid was unmistakenly blue but the flask unmarked “Did you have dinner, Captain?” The doctor asked curiously.
