Posted by Captain John Tiberius Glen (Captain) in Downtime on Space Station Deep Space K-5
A few days after leaving the planet EP19 and the Ascended being Josan behind, the Merrimack arrived at Space Station Deep Space K-5. Captain Glen had had time to get his story straight about the last mission, and to decided upon his advice and recommendations on what should be done, and he would hand in his report to the Admiral before receiving orders for their next mission.

In the meantime, this visit is a chance for the crew to let their hair down, to meet with old friends and for some rest and recuperation.

If you’re visiting K-5, you should absolutely make time to see a show. Captivating main stage productions will leave you talking long after the roar of applause and final bow.

The K-5 sports centre, located right in the heart of the space station, offers a wide range of facilities. It has two spacious, state of the art gyms, and three sports halls, all the perfect place to workout. Or if you want team sports, their are indoor grass pitches to provide the perfect environment, with markings for volleyball, netball, basketball, badminton and football.

K-5 boasts four of the largest off-world gardens, and a giant entertainments complex that includes an anti-gravity fountain, with jets and lights choreographed to music. At night, the spherical walls of the waterfall becomes a 360-degree stage for a light-and-sound show.

The most popular and famous of the bars on DS K-5 has to be Green Dragon Tavern. It exhibits a cheeky insouciance, and attracts the trade of the footloose on K-5. A magnet for boldface writer and artist types, it has perfecting the evanescent magic of adult drinking. However, the rooms are very small, and it’s difficult to find, being tucked away behind a well-known bakery. The Green Dragon has a daring drinks menu from a newly appointed head bartender, who just happens to be someone that the Merrimack knows very well, being a retired Starfleet officer who has served on the ship twice before.

Enjoy!

Hunter was getting ready to leave the ship and heading to the station ,taking a final look in the mirror . Quiet cuffed,self admiring and delighted with himself the doctor headed to the turbolift ,at that moment he did not care about sickbay or that crazy nursing officer and equally unusually strange character and behavior of the CMO .

His first stop was at a map of the station,he was looking for a bar and memorized the route he had to take to get there. When Hunter finally arrived he headed straight at the bar ,sat down on one of the stools and ordered a shot of whiskey ,his eyes where roaming , skillfully scrutinizing the females ,some of which had already seen the handsome impeccable doctor.

Hunter stayed on the stool for he knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that they would came to him.
