E’usah whispered a quiet “Thank you” to Rand then checked her monitor, “We’re nearly there, about two more hours at this speed.” She picked up her mug and slowly sipped the hot tea, savoring the minty flavor, along with the cream. She tended to nurse a mug of tea and often the last few sips were cool. She turned back to her console and let her tail droop over her right shoulder where she could idly fluff the tuft of hair at the end.

E’usah - NAV

Rand nodded to E’usah and then headed for the lift. She was back about 15 minutes later, dropping off the milky tea for Anders and then she was gone again. 45 minutes after that she was back, PaDD and a stack of mid-day department status reports for Alden to review and sign.

Yeoman Rand

Quinn arrived during Rand’s first absence, scratching her chin and carrying a tall water-bottle as she sat down at her station. The bottle went on the floor by her feet and her attention immediately turned to the Helm. She wasn’t her usual chipper self, giving E’usah a small smile but otherwise not really making any noise.

When Rand returned, Marcus gave her a nod of thanks for the tea and arched an eyebrow, “Yeoman, should I be nervous about what Astrometrics has us looking for?”

“They want to get scans of a nearby protostar. The computer can tell you what we know about the area. Or Lt Cmdr Alden would know more.” She reached around and with a few deft taps on the console brought up everything the computer had on the area. (OOC: Feel free to make up whatever you want.) Rand wasn’t a scientist or a security officer. Everything in space was encountered with risk, but she had no idea what Anders might be looking for.

“Morning, Lieutenant Anders.” Roman said as he entered. Lovely, more paperwork. Roman began reviewing the reports, creating two piles around his station - “finish and sign” and “needs me to actually do something with this”. Once he was finished, he signed and handed back the “finish” pile back to Rand. Then began working on the other pile.

While she waited for the rest of the reports, Rand fed the finished reports into her PaDD so the next time she stopped by her office she could quickly transfer them into the ship’s computer.

Yeoman Rand

Quinn took a sip from her water bottle and realized it was empty. Shoot. She… didn’t feel like further insulting or leaving any more bad impressions on Rand, so she didn’t say anything. She didn’t feel like causing drama today.

Anders called out across the Bridge, “Helm, how far away are we from the anomaly?”

-Lieutenant Junior Grade Marcus Anders: Chief of Security-

Alden was still working on reports and so Rand stepped off the bridge again first stack in hand. On her way to process the first stack of reports she was waylaid by three very irate offices who couldn’t seem to work out a very simple scheduling conflict with the Gym facilities. She had no idea why they couldn’t figure it out, but in quick order everything was worked out. On her way back to the bridge she took a detour and then 7 minutes later she stepped back onto the bridge. She walked over to Dagget and handed her a thermos from the Galley with cold water in it. “Refill for you, En. If you need more just tell me, and I’ll get it as soon as I can.” Rand was observant because she was supposed to be. Dagget may not have wanted more, but she would rather bring it than not. She stepped back over to the science station to wait for Alden to finish the reports. The standby science officer just shook his head at Rand. They all knew how much Lt Cmdr Alden hated paperwork. But then again the only person who probably did like it was Rand.

Yeoman Rand

Quinn gave Rand a small nod and smile, taking the Thermos and putting it next to her original. Quinn had never been a hot drinks while on duty kind of person. But water? Ooh, she loved fresh, cold H2O. She took a sip from the new thermos and grinned as she heard ice clicking around inside.

The XO’s question made her glance over at Nav, also wondering the same thing.
