The following message appeared on all consoles.

=^=Attention all crew. New crew party begins on the holodeck at 1600 hours. Bring your good cheer and leave your uniforms.=^=

Alita hadn’t quite figured out a theme for the party. She’d wanted to do Mardi Gras in honor of the Captain but the XO’s words just wouldn’t leave her mind. Neither would her conversation with Anna. So the best she could come up with on short notice was a very large bonfire with several cooking fires along one side. As usual, several of the security JOs were helping out and Alita, herself, was doing at least three things at once.

“Morning Bright” had considered not attending the social event, but in the end it was best to parent himself to the crew as a whole.
Taking the time to preen, he opted not to simply wear the hooded robe he often wore in public, nor go unadorned as was his habit. Out of respect he had chosen a simple tan drape.

Arriving promptly at 1600hrs as was his habit, he took a moment to relax, thus lowering his crest and brightening his colors.

Keying the door, he was assailed buy music and the smell of wood smoke, casing his crest to rise a bit in surprise, but he simply stepped into the room. Scanning the holo sene, looking for the Chief of Security. Best to greet the host thought the Gnal. As he approached the bonfire.

Reilly saw the invite and grinned. He did so love a good party. He made himself presentable in dark gray Jean’s, brown boots, and a deep green shirt with silver buttons. Picking up three bottles, he made his way to the venue.

He came into the door and almost bumped into the new Ensign. Reilly was familiar with his file, but hadn’t yet met him. “Ensign. Nice to meet you. I’d shake hands but they are full at the moment. Mind grabbing a bottle so I can say hello properly?” he asked with a friendly smile.

Looking at the human a moment, “Morning Bright” extended his left hand “My pleasure” As the faces of the crew roster ran threw his mind, but having no luck.

“Reilly. A pleasure.” and he put a bottle in his hand and moved it up and down in a ‘modified handshake’. “Let’s head in and go get you introduced, shall we?” and he left the bottle in Morning Bright’s hand and headed to Alita. “Hey! I brought some refreshments! Where you want ‘em, Lieutenant?”

Reilly, XO

Still drawing a blank as to who he was speaking to, and now confused buy the odd gesture with the bottle “Morning Bright” stuck out his right hand in the human custom. Seeing his companion turn and hail just the person he himself had intended to find, the Gnal dutifully fallowed.

• Perhaps this crew will not have problems excepting me as had his last* “Morning Bright” thought as his crest rose slightly and his head coloring noticeably brightened in the Gnalish equivalent of a smile. .
