“Oh wow,” Ria breathed. That did sound exciting and the idea of top of the art science labs brought a smile to her face and wiped her worries from her mind. At least for the moment. “That sounds wonderful,” she whispered and looked over to Achilleas.

Achilleas grinned at the thought of having his own lab again. The ones on loan from the starbase were fantastic but they weren’t free to be personalized or customized. He looked over at Ria as she looked at him and winked. “We’ll have to see how good the stellar cartography lab is and how sensitive the sensors are.”

“We do!” Ria replied, her whole face lighting up even more. Turning towards Dira and becoming a little shier again, she asked, “When will the new ship arrive here?” She also wondered about crew quarters and if junior officers would share quarters as they did right now on the Starbase. But she didn’t dare to ask and while she’d love her own quarters to be able to get the quiet time she needed, she also knew that she could manage with sharing. She had throughout the Academy, so it wasn’t like she wasn’t sort of used to it any ways.

Dira half shrugged. “No exact date just yet but it will be sooner than later,” she said apologetically. She wished she could give them a date or at least say ‘within the month’ but it was still up in the air. “But there will be a few hundred crew, so we can expect people to start being assigned and sent on their way here soon.”

“I’m thinking that the wait will definitely be worth it.” Achilleas replied to Dira while subtly squeezing Ria’s hand. He was thinking in regards to both the new ship and his new relationship with Ria. At least the awkwardness of this outing had mellowed as there was good drink, great company, and an interesting topic to focus on. He took another sip of his wine and found that his glass was somehow empty. Huh, when did that happen? Sweeping his gaze over the both of them he asked, “Would you ladies like a refill of your drink while I get another for myself? Do we want any food to share at the table too?”

Ria returned the squeeze of the hand and smiled tenderly at Achilleas before saying, “I’m still good, but some food does sound good.” She was actually starting to feel rather hungry now that her nervousness seemed to have subsided somewhat; at least for now. Turning her head, she looked towards Dira to hear what the otehr woman was thinking.
