Steven walked into the lounge and looked around. It had been a long week getting settled in. Now he was looking to handle part two of any transfer: meeting the crew. He had been with the crew of the Athena for so many years, that it felt almost exciting to move to a new command. Taking a seat at the bar, he mulled over the wine choices before selecting a rare but not pricy Klingon vintage If anyone knew anything about wine they would know his choice was something only a wine connoisseur would select.

As Steven settled onto the barstool, Jhene noticed his arrival. She was intrigued by the newcomer, wondering what kind of energy he would bring to the crew.
“Ah, going for the Klingon vintage, I see. Not many would appreciate that choice. I respect a person who knows their wines,” Jhene said as she approached him with a smile on her face. “I’m Jhene, Communications Officer. I don’t think we’ve officially met yet, but I saw your onboarding itinerary. You are the new Chief Science Officer, Lieutenant Marsh, correct?”

“Steven,” he extended his hand, “I normally stay away from Klingon… well pretty much everything, but yes the Klingon vintage this year was extraordinary. Most of the time Klingon wines are overlooked because of the reputation of cheap blood wines that will knock you over via the taste or alcohol content but there are some exceptions. This one,” Steven held up the glass looking at the contents, “has strong notes of cedar, barluk root, and of all things tangerine. Not that there has ever been a tangerine on Qonos.” It had been a long time since he had been able to talk about wines. On the Athena that had just come to accept his word and assigned him the unspoken task of bringing the vino to events.

Jhene listened with interest, drawn in by Steven’s knowledge and intrigued by the complexity he revealed. She found herself nodding in agreement. “Fascinating,” she remarked, “It sounds like you possess a wealth of knowledge about wines in general.” With a smile, she confessed, “I’ve never actually tasted Klingon wine myself. I’ve always preferred Orion delaq or ale, sticking to my Orion roots whenever possible. But the way you describe it makes it sound like an experience worth trying.” With a gesture, she signaled to the bartender, silently requesting a glass of the elusive Klingon wine.

Kit entered the Leviathan’s lounge. She was in a foul mood as one of her technicians had managed to get himself bitten by a Red-Legged Widow. Worse yet he happened to be one of the few individuals who had an allergy to Latrodectus bishop venom. So instead of the usual pain, local swelling, and other symptoms he had a full blown anaphylactic reaction and was currently in sick bay. She also lost the precious Latrodectus bishop spider because the technician slammed it against the enclosure it was in. She needed a very stiff drink.
