Quinn felt not one ounce of regret in the trade she’d made with the ship’s chef. She shared some of her favorite recipes for time in the ship’s kitchen. It worked out well. She was setting down a platter of freshly made croissants traditional butter, vanilla bean cream filled, cinnamon and sugar and andorian chocolate filled. She also set down a platter of Kouign-Amann, it was a puff pastry that was like eating a salted caramel croissant. It was a favorite of hers and she was hoping to get a few other crew members to like it enough, to make the four and a half hours of work on the pastry to be worth the effort. There was a pot of tea for those that preferred that with breakfast. She was enjoying a peppermint filled hot chocolate for herself. There was also various juices and other drink choices spread on the table.

Much to the mortification of her yeoman, Rende insisted that Rand did not need to act as waitress and servant for her. Rand was her assistant and an exceptionally competent one. Rende was more than capable of getting her own chow, and she preferred to be among the crew. How else would they get to know her if she hid in her quarters or the bridge all the time? She liked to be around people.

Rende had just exited the showers in the gymnasium and was heading down a deck for the mess. The lift doors opened and the smell of fresh baked pastry filled the corridor. She wondered what Gorshin had made today. Entering the mess, mouth watering in anticipation, she was surprised to find, not Gorshin, but their new chief medical officer behind the counter. “Good Morning Lt. Are you the cause of that delightful aroma filling the corridor?”

Quinn smiled cheekily, “Good morning Captain, and I hope so, there’s croissants and some other pastries, you’re more than welcome to take some.” she said with a help yourself motion at the spread of platters, drinks and pitchers.

Rende nodded and grabbed a plate and peeked at the various options on display. She chose a small selection of the items and then poured a drink and moved over to a table and sat. “How are you settling in, Doctor?”

Asam, CO

“I am settling in well, thank you. Happy my bonsai trees made the trip without gaining any damage. Though I did somehow loose some yarn. If anyone finds a few skeins in silver and cerulean blue please have them find me.” Quinn replied lightly with a cheeky grin.

“I will ask Rand and Chief Helpful to keep an eye out. They seem to be able to track anything down.” Rende smiled. “That is good to hear. I hope the previous Medical Officer didn’t leave too much unfinished work for you.” She took a bite of the still warm pastry. “Mmmm…very good.”

Asam, CO

Quinn gave the Captain a moment to enjoy the pastry and replied before she sipped her peppermint hot chocolate. “I appreciate it and no they didn’t leave much to do. The office was bare when I arrived so at least they didn’t forgot any knick knacks. There was a bottle of Brandy in the desk draw, not sure what to do with it.” she dropped her voice at the last bit. Not that she had problems if folks wanted to add to their coffee or what have you but she didn’t. If nothing else she might use it for a cake recipe.

Rende chuckled, “An old Earth custom used to use spirits as ‘medicine’. Many were actually first developed for that. Of course you probably know that. Perhaps your predecessor was using it as such?” Rende sipped at her glass. “I can’t stop people from drinking, but I highly disapprove of imbibing such on duty. Do with it as you wish.” It probably wasn’t very good Brandy if they left it behind.

Asam, CO

“I figure I can try it in a triple chocolate cheesecake or a few of them since it looked brand new.” Quinn said at last, she did indeed know of how liquor used to be the cure all but it did help when there was limited resources for keeping things clean. She didn’t drink but using liquor in baking or other food to add flavor she didn’t mind experimenting that way.

Kindle, CMO

“Oh now that sounds delightful.” Rende mused, “It has been a long time since I’ve had a Porter Cake. Maybe I will see if we have the items ta make it.” Rende finished off her first pastry, “If your medical skills are like your baking, we are in very good hands.”

Asam, CO

Quinn gave a delighted laugh, “I’ll not disappoint on either front, I promise Captain.” she plucked up a vanilla bean cream filled croissant and took a delicate bite. As she was chewing her three more adventurous Nurses filed into the room, and smiled as they wove around the Captain picking up croissants and Kouign-Amann, Nurse Nathanial Barnes paused as he finished placing a pastries on his plate, “You’re know your going to have complaints about weight gain and extra gym time right?”

Quinn just gave him her best I’m innocent look as she took her time in chewing the bite of still warm croissant she was enjoying.

Rende chuckled, “Consider them incentive for doing the workout. A much deserved reward.” She held up her current pastry, “I know I am.” She spoke to the nurses as they passed by, making polite but brief conversation.

Barnes, and the others muttered and walked away smiling as they found a table and started talking about various rumors in between excited bites of pastries.

Rende watched with amusement. After the nursing staff had passed Rende looked at Kindle. “I do believe, Doctor, you have a mischievous streak.”

Asam, CO

Quinn grinned cheekily at her Captain, “Well I will be sure to warn you off if I leave out any “special cakes” that can make a mess when cut into, same for pastries that could be over-filled on purpose.” she took another delicate bite and chewed slowly, she no intention of making said special cakes or over-filled pastries until someone pranked her first. Once they started then it was certainly game on.

Kindle, CMO

Rende smirked, “That would be appreciate doctor. By myself and my yeoman who would have to clean my uniform.” She lifted her cup and drank for a moment. “Do you cook often?”

Asam, CO

“I try to cook something at least a few times a week but I’m still pretty new here so I don’t want to over do it at least until I get a measure of who actually enjoys what I make.” Quinn said as she sipped her peppermint hot chocolate. “Pastries, certain fish, chicken, and steak among a few other things.” she didn’t want to say too much because she did want to keep some surprises.

Kindle, CMO

Rende nodded. “Hmmm I have heard our Chef is quite protective of his kitchen. You must have made quite the trade to get him to let you use it.”

Asam, CO

“Part of the deal was anything I make in excess is his to do with as he pleases, rest is renegotiable as needed.” Quinn said with a cheeky grin, besides he seemed at the moment to enjoy the fruits of what she’d turned out so far, at least he hadn’t stormed out to tell her to get her petite frame out of his space.

Kindle, CMO

“Well that is certainly a good compromise.” Rende sipped her drink, “So tell me doctor, what led you to Star Fleet?”

Asam, CO

“Well grew up on a Freighter but when we came planet side we stayed with Family in Scotland and Ireland, met a few officers when dropping off supplies I might have pestered with questions and joined up when I got the okay from my folks.” she said with another cheeky grin.

Kindle, CMO

“Ah where abouts in Ireland? My husband and I are from there.” Rende loved Ireland and when El had arranged for them to return to the Emerald Isle and set up a home before being shipped out again, she’d found that the wanderlust she’d always had eased and eventually disappeared. Oh she was still proudly serving, and would for awhile, but it was there.

Asam, CO

“Killarney is where we spent time with our Mother’s family. When we visited my father’s family we spent time on the Isle of Skye or Edinburgh.” she said with a cheeky smile. Quinn took a sip of her hot chocolate.
“Best part of those visits was learning the different steps to the dancing.”

Kindle, CMO

“Our home is outside of Belfast.” Rende nodded as she finished the last bite of her second pastry. “The dances are wonderful. I enjoy it. The Isle of Skye is georgous. We visited a few times. I really like the Orkney Isles. They are stark, but there is just something about their endurance that is inspiring.”

Asam, CO

Quinn nodded her head softly, “Indeed, it’s always amazing how land shapes after the seasons other things factor in.” she sipped her hot chocolate again and bit back a laugh as she watched Nurse Barnes tip toed to the platters again and picked up more pastries and brought them back to the table with the other two nurses and offered the spoils to his table mates. They took them quickly and kept loosely chatting in between bites. “So any place that you haven’t seen that you want to see?” Quinn asked as she turned her attention back to the Captain.

“Delta IV.” Rende said without hesitation. “I have always wanted to visit, but they don’t allow visitors planet side. Only on the moons.”

Asam, CO

“Well they didn’t use to allow folks in places on Earth either. Took a while and took folks that respected the place to show they could look and not make a mess of it. Maybe we can get a petition going or something to move it towards an okay even for a short visit?” Quinn said with a lightly playful cheeky grin.
