Tiberius was finishing up his shift and needed some downtime. He was somewhat hungry and wanted to have something to drink. Because it was the ship, there is only one place to go and that was the officer’s mess hall. He walked from his station to make his way there. After a few moments, he arrived at the mess hall and when he entered, he looked around. He did notice that Hannah was sitting alone. He smiled when he saw her but had to hide it. He was going to see about sitting with her to eat but it might not go perfectly but it does not happen, it does not happen. He walked over to the replicated and requested a ribeye, the way he liked it, with loaded baked potato and a glass of water with ice. After a second, his food appeared. He was excited. He walked over to where Hannah was sitting and said, “Hi Lt Asimina, can I sit with you and chat?” He waited to see what her response was. He made sure and smile at her to make her feel comfortable. He did not want to come across as a creep but wanted to show interest. In the past, he might have been nervous but with his experience with security, there was 0 reason to be nervous. He had been through way worse then getting turned down by a woman during his career.
