Mwezi stepped into the Cafeteria and glanced around. He didn’t see anyone in particular that he was interested in sitting next to, so after getting some hearty tacos from the food dispensers, he found an empty seat and sat down. He yawned, then pulled out a Padd and opened it up, finding his Book-reading app and opening it up to the last page he had been on. To anyone glancing over his shoulder, the page would be an illegible mess, squiggles and lines in a written language they didn’t understand, but to Mwezi it was a relief to be able to read in the language he grew up with.

He was quite enjoying this particular book. A translation of an Earth novel from the 20th century. About a young boy entering a magical world and attending school. Yes, it was quite a fascinating book to read, and he was fully engrossed in the tale as he quietly munched on his tacos.

Mwezi, CTO

Without warning, a tray dropped onto the table across from Mwezi. A familiar mass of unkempt hair and colorful, tattooed hands announced the arrival of the Chief Medical Officer. He sat down and gave a nod to the Tactical Officer, but said only “‘Sup.” before he picked up a fork and began eating the ridiculously large salad in front of him.

Kane, CMO

Mwezi gave Kane a short look, then a cordial nod. He took another bite of his meaty, cheesy taco, and pretty much swallowed it immediately. “LeRoy,” he greeted the medical officer, having done some research into Earth history and found what he was pretty sure was the origin of the nickname Kane had decided to give him. “I believe the proper response to ‘sup’, is ‘the ceiling’? Is that correct?” he also responded.

Kane didnt look up, but said with a half-mouthful of food “It is if you want to sound like a kid in 3rd grade.” and he swallowed and looked at the CTO. What might have been the very beginning of a grin swept across his face, vanishing just as fast. “If you want to be a big boy, you can just say ‘Hey’. But you do you, Warren.” and he took another bite.

Kane, CMO

“I apologize,” Mwezi said in a deadpan tone, what felt like his normal voice when he was around Kane. “Human speech is confusing.” He took another bite of his meal, chewed for a moment, then just popped the last of the taco into his mouth and swallowed.

“You’re telling me, man… and dont get me started on French.” he said in agreement.

“The newest member of your department is… Interesting. Captain Taggart had some fun pretending to be… I am not sure other than the fact that she did not know that he was Captain.” He commented.

Mwezi

Kane stopped eating and took a drink. “Yeah, she’s… well… new. I’m not sure how well she’ll take to extended time on a ship, but her skills are solid. Hopefully she works out.” and he took another bite.

Mwezi put away the book he had been reading and pushed slightly away from the table. His feet stretched out in front of him and he took the moment to do a little people-watching.

“Many of the other humans describe you as crass and unlikable,” he commented after a while. “I think you would do well among a Hatriku crew. You have a similar… No-nonsense attitude.”

Mwezi, Sec
