Posted by Lieutenant Commander Joe Milligan (XO) in Galley: Joe and a Reuben sandwich all welcome to join !
Since yesterday when Joe had only had time to check in with his new captain and had his adventure in sickbay, he had finally gotten to his cabin late and got some sleep. Now with a different day Joe had put on a fresh uniform, shaved and generally cleaned himself up to look a bit better than he had yesterday when he came in.

This morning Joe had been out walking the Merrimack doing what he liked to do best. He had been out wandering the ship aimlessly, stopping people, introducing himself, asking people about themselves and telling jokes which only brought a laugh with a one out of five average. He spoke to everyone from department heads to crewmen. The security department held him longer than anyplace. Joe himself had started out as a security officer. So, a lot of time was spent with everyone telling old stories and of course jokes.

Soon he found the time to be afternoon and his stomach to be empty. This caused him to abandon his current spot on the observation deck and move down to the galley. Once there he frowned at the replicator as if he were trying to communicate with it. Finally giving up on this endeavor he decided to roll the dice. “Coffee, black two sugars. “He began as he spoke to the replicator. “Reuben sandwich, toasted rye bread, warm Pastrami, Swiss cheese melted over the top and with sauerkraut on top. Thousand Island dressing on the bread with two dill pickle slices on the side.”

Joe immediately questioned his sanity as soon as the replicator started to make his lunch. The replicator started, stopped, started again, groaned and made a Ker-chunk noise before starting again. Joe wondered if perhaps he had broken the thing by giving too much detail. To his amazement however he received a good Reuben. His coffee was hot. And well, his pickles seemed a bit limp and watery. But a good lunch, nonetheless. He looked around and saw that he was alone in the galley. “Maybe I missed the lunch crowd. “He mumbled before attacking his sandwich.
