Posted by Lieutenant Natasha Knight (Acting Chief Medical Officer) in Starfleet Academy - First Cadet mission Starfleet Academy ADMIN 150 Federation Law

Natasha sat next to Dante tapping her stylus on the desk thinking about anything but the lecture being presented to her. ADMIN 150 was a class on basic Federation law. It was the same stuff she learned as a child about the government and later as a teenager in Civic’s class. The stuff she hadn’t learned on Starfleet General Order 1 and the Prime Directive was about as interesting as the gum stuck to the underside of the desk. She had no desire to ever be in command therefore she would never be in charge of a prime directive situation. Letting out a deep sigh she glanced at Dante sitting next to her. Dante was the poster child for a command track cadet. His attention was squarely on the professor. Her attention was squarely on Knight. How could she not stare at his profile? He had the perfect chiseled jaw, hair that sported the slightly mess spikes, and amazing hazel eyes that could make you melt from the warm fuzzies or because he was dressing you down.

“Babe,” Natasha said pulling her eyes off of him for a second as she looked out the window. “Let’s get Pho tonight. I am not sure I like it but let’s live dangerously,” she suggested.

“Huh?” Dante muttered while glancing at Nat quickly. Federation Law was about as exciting as repeatedly kicking your little toe against a door frame and he had long ago retreated into that special place in a guys mind where everything around him happened at the edge of his senses while his eyes tracked the professor, yet his vision was filled with possible scenarios from the latest Witcher holonovel and imagining Nat as his sorcerous partner in many an adventure. In these adventures diplomacy often happen with either sword or bedsheets and Dante found that far more interesting than the latest lectures.

“Oh, why do you want Pho?” He asked her, looking back at the professor but sliding his hand across to her. “You won’t like it, let’s get something like fried rice instead.”
