Upon returning to the ship Stella had returned promptly and without hesitation to her cabin. Her stomach was in an uproar over a self-heating bag of field food which had been left behind from the Klingon days. It had been gray with the consistency of oatmeal and had little clumps in it that she had sworn she saw move several times. Needless to say, she hadn’t eaten very much. She was also dust and sweat covered, her hair was a mess, and she just knew that her makeup had disintegrated over the course of her travails. While she pondered going to see the captain her body was demanding other actions. So thus, it was that after a shower that was long enough to have showered off several elephants and of course a deep clean shampoo she was finally feeling a bit better.She had then done her hair, put on her makeup and repainted her fingernails and toenails. Satisfied with her work she got herself a fresh tunic and a pair of slacks. She also ditched the uncomfortable boots she had been wearing for a set of more comfortable flats. After this she spritzed herself with some honeysuckle perfume. She then looked in the mirror and gave her reflection a thumbs up. After she had had a good meal of some sort, she would then try to get in to see the captain about her future, her madness or all of the above.
Just the small walk from her quarters to the Dragon did her good and increased her spirits. The lack of odd men glaring was one improvement. Of course, she had to admit that after whatever that was that she had been through on the planet was, a bit of good conversation with anyone would be nice. She had never been to the Dragon yet. Her first days on board were all spent running from one job to the other and then being assigned to the away team. So, when she walked in it was all a new thing to her. It seemed like a nice place even if it was quiet at the moment. She thought with a smile that she was off duty as far as she knew. A shot of real rum and a bowl of anything spicy would put some zing back into her. She walked across the place and nodded at the Orion girl she saw. A pretty little thing. She leaned up against the bar then patiently waiting for someone to come out.

Not long afterwards Hunter had entered the bar ,he was now dressed in a clean pressed doctor’s uniform, not a hair out of place and the smell of expensive cologne hung in the air .
The doctor simple acknowledge Stella with a nod and asked D’Nesh for the menu ,the Orion ex slave was not frightened by ‘the Beast ’ anymore , she now understood that he was a doctor and what he did back then was to help her ....... though it did not seem like that back then.
‘’Are you going to sing here to-night ?’’ she asked ‘’No not to-night , after I have eaten its back to work my dear ‘’ Hunter responded bemused ‘’ Cross would kill me ‘’ he said with a chuckle .He wondered where Joe was as he looked around.
Hunter Dr.
Joe walked in a few moments later, promptly gave Hunter a scowl and proceeded to the bar where Stella sat. He chatted to her a moment coaxing a smile out of her >>>before she gave him her order. Joe returned soon with a tall glass full of a reddish orange liquid. Then returning with a dish that evidently Stella wasn’t expecting since a >>>broad smile brightened up her face and she clapper her hands together. The bowl was a mix of rice, bell peppers with sliced hunks of sausage covered with a red sauce >>>Being the good customer service man that he was he stayed with her awhile. Getting to know her really since he hadn’t remembered a redhead showing up at the place >>>yet. After chatting a bit, he left her to her drink and dinner.

Hunter saw Joe from the corner of his eyes,he still kept his head down looking at the Menu D’Nesh had given him ‘’Number five please ‘’ he told the Orion young woman ,she nodded while the doctor went to find an empty table .He was in no mood to mingle with anyone …the tension hung in the air due to the friction ,hostility and strained relationship between him and Joe .
