Posted by Ensign Tobias Rax (Science Officer) in Reflections in Ten Forward [Open]
Tobias eased himself onto an unoccupied table in Ten Forward, finally granting himself a moment of respite. Since joining the crew, he had been thrown headfirst into the whirlwind of their recent encounter with the Cardassians. Now, with the ship enjoying a relative lull in activity, Tobias seized the opportunity to unwind and contemplate.

Before him lay a spread of Earth delicacies—lasagna and garlic bread—accompanied by a refreshing Trill fruit drink. His posture was relaxed, his demeanor inviting. For anyone seeking company or conversation, Tobias appeared to be a welcoming choice.

It was one of Sheleah’s dedicated times off. She had a tendency to get herself very wrapped up in work and knew it was a fault of hers. She had been counseled to change that about herself and was seeking to rectify that. So, she walked into the lounge with Rex off leash and headed for the replicator. Retrieving their food she looked around and cut Tobias’s empty table. Walking over she wondered if you would mind some company and decided to find out.

“Hello, I don’t think I’ve actually had the pleasure of introducing myself. I’m Sheleah the counselor but I’m not on duty right now. Would you like some company?”
