<strong>Day 1 - 1842</strong><br/><div class="floatright">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/3/3f/Yul_brynner.jpg)</div>Character: Dr. "Tiger" (Ty) Nadami (Lt. Cmdr. Aono Tsayafa Nadami), CMO<br/>Location:  Officer's Mess<br/>With:    Capt. O'Connor<br/>Doing:  Dinner with the Captain<br/>Tagging: O'Connor, open<br/><br/>"Oh, don't get me wrong, Captain," he smiles, before deciding to attempt another mouthful of the alleged stew. Chewing and swallowing with a little less difficulty this time, he says: "Many of us can be 'difficult' personalities when we're determined to get a thing done, or fighting for something we think is right. You can hardly run a ship efficiently, or a Sickbay for that matter, while being everyone's friend. But Nuress is, I think, that particular kind of personality that has difficulty with people in general, outside her work. Either her work consumes her totally, or her pride in it does... or both." He shrugs. "Such people can be very effective in specialized tasks, I'm betting that's why Starfleet wants her. And of course I'll help her... but I'll have to find a way to do it subtly. Without her perceiving me as pushing myself on her or interfering. Otherwise we could find ourselves in a deadlock that distracts from the mission."<br/><br/>"Should we try some..." trying to think of something to drown out the vile flavour on his tastebuds, he almost says<em>blood wine</em>, just barely catching himself. "Some<em>vel nor</em>? A kind of Vulcan palm wine, it's supposed to be quite sweet. I'll, um, let the food synthesizers handle this one," he adds with a grimace, making to get up and head over to the synthesizer nook.
