‘’Shall we get on with her orders ?’’ he asked Guy.

“Coordinating teams and conducting boarding exercises for you to beat everyone else?” Guy asked Sharp.

Sharp sat down on the floor shaking his head ‘’ No ,actually I prefer to hid in the shadows . I did check the weapons everything is in order . As for the drill that’s not my job but for the new COS ‘’ he replied staring at an imaginary spot ‘’ I do hope he/she would be a level headed human ‘’.

“Yeah! I guess that level-headedness is wonderful leadership quality in a human when the kind of chaos we are used to descends, ” replied Guy, “but I think I’d settle for someone with soul but not a soldier!”

Guy decided to sit down too. “I suppose that we can have a really good think about possible teams and boarding exercises here until someone gives us something else to do instead?”

They sat for a while in quiet contemplation before Guy said, “I wonder if we will get any new security officers as well as this new COS? We’ve lost more than a few. Do you remember Gilbert and his phaser coolant accident? There was also William, killed by the thorns fired from those poisonous walking plants? Or Norman, the new Cadet who actually volunteered for the landing party, you know, like a real hero?”

Sharp’s eyes widened , he had no idea about them ‘’Hej bro , you’re scaring me ‘’ he replied ‘’Guess being assigned on the bridge or sickbay wasn’t so bad after all ‘’.

“Sorry!” Guy replied.

After some time he said, “I sometimes get bored just standing guard on the Bridge or Sickbay… I never thought I’d say this, but Landing Parties make life interesting… while it lasts obviously. Heh! Who wants to live forever?”

‘’There’s no chance for us
It’s all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment
Set aside for us ‘’.

Richard went on with what he could remember ‘’Somber ain’t it’‘

“Heh! Heh! What is this thing that builds our dreams and yet tips ‘em ‘way from us?” Guy added. “Oh! Yes, it’s called a Chief of Security!”

’’ Say do you know something about our new D’H that I don’t know?’’ Sharp asked looking intensely at Guy , as if by doing so he would be able to read his mind.

Sharp sec.

“Me?” asked Guy, “Do I look like the kind of person who would hack into Comms between the ship and Starfleet Command to get information like that? It’s just no worth the risks! …but I did look through the manifest of the what we brought aboard from DS-K5… and apart from a lot of high grade alloy steel plate and some odd foods, well there was nothing that stood out really. I do know that the Captain’s Yeoman is leaving and also taking that Cat with her. There are quite a few crew coming and leaving this cycle… …So, all of that Andorian Cabbage Soup, well that could be for anyone really…”
