The shuttle ride had been hard and long. Juliet had taken Captain Mackenzie from the space station to the Leviathan thinking she’s be back at the station a couple weeks later. She hadn’t planned on the XO announcing she’d been transferred back here.

That evening, finally settled back into her quarters, it occurs to her that Captain Mackenzie wasn’t given VIP quarters. A thought occurred to her and she changed into black leggings with a deep sapphire blue tunic that set of her eyes and pony tail of raven hair. After tapping in an order to the mess, she slipped into ankle height black velvet boots and headed out of her quarters.

• • A few hours after having docked, Jewels tapped on the Captain’s door on the Officer’s deck and tugged at the edge of her tunic. In her other arm was a container of food that included a bottle of wine.
