include an ant, cheese, some bagpipes and a single rose petal in a post
Rand had been dismissed by the captain. She was slightly disappointed, she had hoped she’d get to see the Sentinel go to warp, but she gave a mental shrug. She did wait by the turbolift for Randy however. Part of her duties was training him and so she waited for him and watched to see if there was anything else she could tell him to help. But Randy didn’t really need to be ‘trained,’ he was excellent at whatever he did, and he handled the XO’s gruffness with his usual easy going nature. She stopped by their quarters so they could process and then return the reports the CO and XO had signed off on.

“We’ve got a medical check-in today.” She sounded strained. “I suppose the CMO will have questions about the other night in the observation lounge.” She picked up a canister from the table, tipped her head back and squeezed: Cheese Whiz! The best kind of cheese there was. Rand ate Cheese Whiz the way some people ate whipped topping. Rand set the canister back on the table, straightened her uniform and took a deep breath. She glanced at the uniform tartan that Randy had disguarded the previous day. “I wonder if I could get away with wearing my sash and brooch?”

Stepping off the turbolift on deck 9 Rand turned to starboard following the long hall way around to the aft port section where sickbay was located. She stopped suddenly and knelt down, picking up a single red rose petal. She held it up for Randy to inspect and made a “shushing” gesture. She entered sickbay and looked around. Hushed noises and a sudden stillness about the area said perhaps no one was expected. Ah food for the gossip mill!
