Posted by Ensign Ashlyn Trenton (Security Officer) in Side-Sim: Lunch with a Friend
Ashlyn was glad the medical check in went so well, and the offer for Investigation Technique Training was a boon she hadn’t expected. As promised she would sleep on it, but her answer was still going to be yes even if Sharah didn’t benefit from it. That fact that she did was just bonus icing on the cake that Ashlyn doesn’t eat, so perhaps the special wrapping on the ration bar? Ashlyn takes a moment to make a mental note that she needs to add more variety to her diet. Sure what she eats is plenty healthy, but there are not many analogies that can be made about it without sounding bland and boring.

At least the lunch itself wont be boring, Ashlyn enjoys the company of her most trusted friend and doesn’t hesitate to show her excitement by taking Sharah by the hand to swiftly make their way from Sickbay to the Mess Hall. Thanks to the identical layout of the ship that Ashlyn is already familiar with, she knows the fastest route to the source of food having made it plenty of times on the Challenger. Of course her pace has the added benefit of practicing motion and balance for Parkour, her excitement from a good physical carrying over into wanton energy in the corridor. There were a few times she had to pause or shift her position to avoid a collision with someone or Sharah.

Sharah shakes her head and follows as quickly as her bad balance will let her. “I’m glad your happy Ashlyn,” she laughs. “You know I really like Dr Zarath. I’m going to learn a lot from him. And apparently you as well. He’s…different.” She of course knows all the corridors leading to and away from the mess hall. She spent a lot of time wandering them with Joseph on Challenger. There wasn’t much to do on a ship that small, and they had spent a lot of time going for walks. She suddenly turns down a side corridor. Her brains ability to exactly recall memories made her decide to duck down a different corridor to avoid the memories, and it was just a bit faster. Picking up on Ashlyn’s thought, “How about a grilled cheese sandwhich today? If you want to try something else?” She came up on a turn in the corridor and pulled Ashlyn to the opposite side of the corridor before they collided into several NE’s on their way to a duty shift. She started giggling, for really no other reason than the shocked expressions on the NEs faces at the fast moving new arrivals.

Then she turned left and they were at the mess hall. She paused to stop laughing. “Let’s eat.” She looked at Ashlyn and then whispered, “Wanna go spying in the jeffries tubes later?” It was such an unprofessional thought, but she release of all the pent up tension of checking in on a new ship had released some and she was feeling, rather....giddy?
