OOC: Welcome to the second part of the Fostering Friendships series! This thread is open to everyone (No matter their department) but if you’d like to have particular combat skills, feel free to play a Security or RTF officer in this thread/series. (I NPC’d them last time.) Don’t worry about posting quickly, but try not to leave your partner hanging in our… sorry, you have to wait to find out IC.
IC:

Three days after the end of Sec/RTF laser tag, Surda found herself in a holodeck once again drafting a ship-wide message. “Computer, inform the crew teamwork games resume in training holodeck 2 at 1300 hours.” The computer chimed affirmatively, and Surda grinned. She had given everyone 30 minutes to prepare before they faced her next challenge. “Computer, inform everyone that any loose object will have to be placed in the provided lockers.”

It did not take long for Luna to show up. Cerenity had followed her in with the intention of saying hi to Surdra before head off to a lesson about how warp drive work. ” Hi Mis. Surdra how are you” Cerenity said running up to the COS.

Luna smiled ” She wanted to say hi befor she headed off to her class something about warp drive with Crewman Durheim “” Luna explained so she would not get into Troble for bringing a child to a training exercise again.

Surda smiled and knelt down. “Hello Cerenity, Ensign. It’s a shame she won’t be staying, you two may especially enjoy this exercise.” She didn’t have a problem with children during training unless she specified no children.
-Surda, CoS

” really what kind of game” Cerenity asked.

OOC: I can not wait to see what this is all about!

IC: When he’d told Luna that his physical exercise quota for that month had been reached, Zachariah Cobb had meant every single word. But when a message appeared on his personal terminal, informing him of a second round of training games co-ordinated by the impressive Lt Surda, then the captain found himself somewhat saddened by the notion of not taking part. In ancient times, such an emotional reaction had been given the name ‘FOMO’, or fear of missing out. And against every single convention and tradition that he had clung to over the years, Cobb found himself experiencing a tsunami of ‘FOMO’ at the thought of missing Surda’s event.

And so it was that, shortly after Luna’s arrival, the captain strolled, as casually as he could manage, onto the holodeck, and approached the women.
“As the captain of this ship, it falls to me to set an example to the crew,” he grasped for a worthy explanation for his attendance. “Wouldn’t look right for the captain to be shying away from combat situations. So…here I am.”

OOC: unfortunately, you’ll have to.
“Captain! Not everything I do is combat. This is… team building.” Surda blinked with false innocence, but it quickly turned to a real smile. “Besides, I was purposely vague. For all you know, this is a dance-off.”
-Surda, CoS

“A dance-off?” the captain repeated, laughing. Then without warning he grabbed Surda and attempted to lead her in a circle of the area, ballroom style.

Surda laughed, but followed along easily enough. She’d have to look into Earth dances later, considering the positive response to the idea.

” Dose fancy flying count as dancing” Both Luna and cerenity asked at the same time.

Cerenity turned excitedly and ran at the captain. She flapped her wings a few times so she could get high enough to hug the man. ” any word on daddy yet also Miss Surda said I could stay for thos training game. Luna shook her head.

“What a greeting!” Cobb murmured into Cerenity’s hug. In truth, the gesture had taken him somewhat by surprise, the notion that anyone could be happy to see him one that was decidedly unfamiliar. And initially, decidedly awkward. But he had no wish for the young girl to be affected by his own psychological inadequacies so, as much as he could muster, he returned the hug.

” im sorry captain are you ok” she asked then turned her attention to Cerenity. ” no she said it was to bad you were not staying you have another place to be” Luna said calmly.

Cerenity pouted ” but I want to stay here” she wined.

“Now, Cerenity,” Cobb looked down at the child, “all Starfleet officers have to obey orders from our superiors. I have a boss who tells me what to do, just as you have your mother.”
He nodded to Luna, then began to study the room in an effort to decipher any hints as to what lay ahead.

Surda knelt down next to Cerenity. “Next time there is a game you can participate in, I will invite you specifically,” She promised. “Alright?”
-Surda, CoS

” No!” Cerenity snaped and stomped her foot opening her wings at the same time. ” Mommy and I never get to do stuff like this together. I want to stay with mommy today” cerenity yelled. Throwing a little temper tantrum.

Luna shook her head. Cerenity’s little tantrums were becoming more frequent and this time Luna was not sure what to do. ” umm …” Luna muttered at a loss. She took several deep breaths. ” Cerenity you have a class to go to you don’t get to just skip them when ever you want. ” Luna said. ” But mom i already know how the worp core works. When it’s activated it bends space and moves the ship forward” cerenity said. Luna just blinked half of her angry the other half just wanting to give up and give the child what she wanted.

About that time Casela walked in. She had enjoyed Surda’s first game and was looking forward to this. A bit if fun before days of being still. And she felt the desire to support her fellow ‘angel’ in her endeavors. She nodded to Surda and Cobb and of course spotted Luna and Cerenity, the later who, surprise surprise was having another tantrum. She was sure Cerenity was frustrated, but dealing appropriately with frustration was a skill she needed to develop. “Afternoon everyone. Surda I am really looking forward to this.”
