Chris sent out an invitation for Ensign Deggur and his supervisor, Commander Grey to attend Dinner with him and the new XO in the Captain’s Ward Room. Uniform is Mess Dress and it is considered an honor to get an invitation.

Chris was in his Dress Whites looking good as usual when her found out the cook made his favorite, meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy. He looked down at his uniform and patted it. “Sorry old friend. I hope the cleaners can get you looking as good as before once I’m done eating and drinking. ” He smiled to himself and looked up seeing the porter there staring away him and shaking his head. Chris cleared his throat and looked around for his drink and took a sip.

Looking back at the porter. “You did make sure to make specialities from Betazoid, Orion and Scotland, correct, with appropriate drinks?”

“Yes Chris. Calm down. You know us and we’ve never failed. ” The old man said gravely.

“Of course. Forgive me. I’m nervous as you will meet the new Executive Officer and a very bright Orion Ensign that saved our bacon near old Vulcan.”

Ther old man smiled. “Everything’s perfect Chris. Except your uniform after you eat. You eat like a wild man, like a viking. “

Chris laughed. “I agree. I’m going to try full be on my best eating behavior tonight because of the new XO, but I’m not going to promise you anything after I start drinking. ” He flashed a smile.

The old man smiled as well and then the smile faded. “Remember your problem Chris. You turned into an alcoholic after your wife passed. I’ve done my best to help you but you’re the only one that can help yourself now. Outside help can only go so far.”

Chris lost his smile and looked down. “I know Devlin. ” He downed his whiskey and poured another three fingers worth into the crystal glass. “I know. “
