Hammond’s eyes shot open he looked at the clock it was 4:OO am, he swung his legs over the bed stretched and looked over at Kilo, she was still laying on her bed but was wake and staring at him. “What do you say, girl, Ready for a nice run on the beach?” she shot out of her bed circled three time let out a single bark and then sat at his feat, he moved to the bathroom and turned on the light, he ran a quick tooth brush through his mouth and was out the door in his jogging cloths in under ten minutes. The two walked briskly down the hall, said hello to other officers as they went.

He open accessed the hollow deck. “Hammond, Miami Beach Alpha” he said and then entered, He was early yet he looked at his watch it was 4:45. He pulled out her favorite toy, a tennis ball he had rigged a little floater too. Kilo leaned forward anticipating the through, and with a flick of his wrist the ball was in the water and so was Kilo. The horizon had a soft glow but the sun was still a good 35 minutes before the sun would crest the horizon.

Kilo came back sopping wet with her toy dangling out of her mouth, She set it down in front of Hammond her eyes fixed on it, her tail swishing back and forth. Hammond reached down to grab the toy, Kilo dropped her front haunches watching the toy as he picked it up and launched it back out into the water. Kilo stared at him waiting. “Release” he said and off she went, like a black and orange blur leaping into the water.

T’Leia approached the holodeck and saw that it was engaged to a beach program, so it must be the Colonel she thought to herself. She was dressed in a set of light tan Vulcan linen top and pants. The sleeves were short and it was light and airy. Tapping the control the door whooshed open and she stepped out onto the sand, her flat slip on shoes had no trouble in the sand she was glad to see.
She paused and looked around curiously. The sun was just lighting the eastern horizon and she spotted Hammond and Kilo by the water’s edge. She made her way over to them.
“ Good morning, Colonel, Kilo.” She said with a nod as she approached them.

Kilo pushed her snout into the lieutenants hand, she was in play mode and able to do what she wanted in reason, she licked the hand a couple times trying to get her attention, tail swishing sand everywhere. She inched closer and closer until she got what she wanted.

Hamond looked over at T’Leia, she looked ready to go. “Ah Lieutenant T’Leia, I’m so glad you came I much prefer running with someone, its more.” he paused “Fun” he finished.

T’Leia nodded in greeting before she looked down at Kilo and gave her the scratches she wanted.
“Understandable. The added benefit of company is to give one incentive to keep exercising I imagine. Tell me, Colonel, are you competitive?”

Lt. T’Leia CSO

He smiled warmly, “I have not met many Marines that are not, that said im competitive when its ” he paused .”Appropriate” he looked at her, she was very interesting for a Vulcan almost curious. “I must admit i have not had many Vulcan acquaintances, this should be enjoyable”

T’Leia nodded and a slight glint came into her eye. “Well then, where do you usually run? Just down the beach here?”

Lt. T’Leia CSO

He gave a nod down the beach. “About two miles that way, there is a pier, if we keep a 6 min pace we’ll be there just as the sun rises over the water, it’s quite the sight” he said smiling at her. His face shifted to a grin, “Unless you want to race?” he noted
