Tenkiller made his way down the passageways, but finally cursed. =/\= Computer. Location of Lieutenant Junior Grade Toveka Brine. =/\= and there was a pause and the computer said =/\= The Chief Science Officer is in the holodeck. =/\= and Tenkiller cursed again. He made his way back to his quarters and paced. The racial ‘term’ used to her was infuriating. He shook his head to clear it, and then focused on finishing some reports.

Some time later, he said =/\= Computer. Location of Lieutenant Junior Grade Toveka Brine.=/\= and this time the computer said =/\= The Chief Science Officer is in her quarters. =/\= Tenkiller took a deep breath and stood and left the reports as they were.

Less than five minutes later, he pressed the chime and stood back and waited.

Toveka had spent nearly an hour running the sim over and over. This time it didn’t bring her any comfort, and as usual, no answers.

She was in her quarters, Padd in hand, curled on the couch with her tea in her hand. Looking up as the chime sounded, a light frown on her face wondering who it was, she called out, “Come,” and rose up. When the door opened, Tenkiller would get a sight that likely no one else had seen. The Science Chief was not in her uniform. She was in a loose pair of deep blue slacks with a slightly lighter blue top on. It was sleeveless with a low cut neck that was tasteful while leaving no doubt it was meant to flatter a woman’s figure. Her hair was down and she was barefoot.

“Lieutenant. I don’t mean to intrude on your private time, but I was hopin’ we could talk a moment? And no is a perfectly acceptable answer here, by the way.” He stood just outside the door, and had his hands behind his back.

She set the PaDD on the table and moved to the replicator. “Please, come in. What can I offer you to drink?” There was a coolness to her that would remind him of when they had meant. The warmth that had started to seep out thru dinner, was gone.

“I’m having herbal tea. If you are curious.”

He stepped through the door and let it close behind him. “No, no… thanks, though.” and he looked around the room before he continued. “I just wanted to come by and apologize for the… well…” and he cleared his throat uncomfortably. Taking a deep breath, he said “Look. I’m sorry that nitwit said… what he said. It was wrong. It was reprehensible. And it was foolish. And I’m sorry that he said it. I give you my word, it will not happen again.” and he looked around again and then said “Well… I… I just wanted to come by and say sorry. You didn’t deserve that. And it will be addressed. So… goodnight, Lieutenant. Hope you have a more relaxing evening.” and he moved to the door to leave.
