Posted by Rear Admiral CockRoach (GM) in Crew Lounge - A quiet drink (All welcome)

Smooth… maybe I arrived at this party slightly too late, Ivo thought as he finally took a sip from the glass. He didn’t want to intrude on a moment the two of them seemed to be having, though now he was morbidly curious as to whether or not the Chief was going to strike out.

He swallowed the liquid a moment later, and seemed somewhat disappointed with whatever it was. It’s still off… but how?

The XO’s reaction to his drink did not go unnoticed by the Chief Engineer.

“Is something wrong, Commander?” T’Pria enquired. “My team perform hourly maintenance checks on the glucose matrix, to supplement the automated diagnostics. Their idea,” she added with an air of amused curiosity bordering on disapproval. “They seem to consider the food processors second only to the warp core in terms of critical systems on this ship.”

“Oh, I’m sure the glucose matrix is fine… even if it’s a little concerning that it’s being prioritized over minor things like breathable oxygen…” he said in a manner that was simultaneously sarcastic and skeptical.

“No, I’m sure the problem is actually the program I’ve written. I’m trying to recreate a beverage I had on Earth the last time we were there, but I unfortunately did not able to keep an adequate sample of it, so I’ve been trying to guess based on spectra published in literature… spectra that are likely missing something.”

“What kind of fire water you drinking, Commander?”

SCPO Black Wolf (Helm)

“It’s my poor attempt at recreating… uh… ‘bourbon’,” Ivo said with some caution. “Though it’s not quite like what I actually drank the other day. I dunno, I must be missing something. Well, actually, I was missing something, that’s how I went down this road in the first place…” He certainly did not know how he managed to miss out on one of the most distinct beverages of his home planet for so many decades.

About this time Petty Officer Banner entered the room and saw the officers sitting together. Understanding that enlisted men did not normally sit with officers he decided to try and walk by them. In his hands was what appeared to be two beers and a bottle of something.

OOC: Isn’t this like the third time you’ve entered this room in this thread?

OOC: I Forget…

– Ivo Cerny, XO/CSO

OOC: Maybe they cant make up their mind :D

NCadet Wilhelm was on duty attending the lounge as part of his rotational duties for the ship. He made his way around to where the rest of the important staff were. “..Anything else I can get you folks?” He asked.
