				<div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/e9/Denevis_Tho.jpeg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Ensign Denevis Tho (http://elliquiy.com/wiki/Denevis_Tho)<br><br><strong>Location:</strong>Ten-Forward Lounge, <br><br><strong>Time:</strong> Mid-morning<br><br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Open<br><hr><br>Denevis entered the Ten-Forward lounge quietly, as was his nature. In his experience, drawing attention to oneself unnecessarily was a good way to become a target. A target for what? He really didn’t know. Despite having been away from his home world for the better part of a decade, he found that it was difficult for him to be at completely at ease. His eyes, regardless of what his brain told them, still searched the shadows for threats from time to time and his muscles still tensed in anticipation of an attack. Sometimes, Denevis could almost forget the brutality that had defined much of his life. In choosing to help others, he felt as if he could almost wash away his sins. <br><br><em>Almost</em>. <br><br>As Denevis approached the bar, he nodded politely to the few crewmen who met his gaze. His duty shift in sickbay had just ended, and Denevis was looking for a strong drink and a hearty meal before heading to the gym. A gladiator he might no longer be, but life on a Starship was said to be every bit as unpredictable if not quite as brutal.&nbsp; Denveis intended to be ready to face whatever challenges came his way. After taking a seat, he took a moment to look around at his surroundings. The beauty of the Artemis still amazed him and the excitement of the unknown gave him joy. <br><br>He raised his hand, trying to get the bartender’s attention so that he could place his order. As he waited, Denevis’ thoughts turned to his work. It had been a pretty uneventful shift in sickbay, a couple of bumps and bruises, a burn or two but nothing major. He then considered Doctor Loni, his superior and Artemis’ CMO. He didn’t know her well, but he could already tell that she was brilliant and Denevis looked forward to learning all he could from her.<br>

She shared the room with another transporter operator, a male Ferengi, with whom she had quickly established that she had no ears herself and had no interest in his. He was out of the room, probably on a watch somewhere, or in one of the holodecks practising acquiring stuff, she supposed. She changed out of the pants suit, took a quick shower and pulled on a less formal skirt and top, clipping her comm badge to it as per regulations. She paused to admire herself in the mirror, enjoying the way the engineering red set off her blue skin and gold eyes. hen she locked the door behind her and caught a turbolift to ten-forward. She swept into the bar, deliberately making an entrance, and looked around. She spotted another Andorian, but he was a thaan and no more interested in her than she was in him. Par gave him a small wave and made for a vacant table with a great view of the star field streaking past them.<br><br>The Andorian Zhen sat and waited, hoping that the damn replicators on this ship could make a decent glass of Glow Ale. Or maybe they actually had a store of the genuine article? She would find out, as soon as her date arrived. <br><br>She watched the door to the bar, forsaking the magnificence of space in high warp that was visible out of the false windows - actually view screens showing an exact view of what was the other side of the hull, but you would never know to look at them. <br><br>Par waitedand watched hoping she hadn't been stood up. That would be embarrassing.

I... join... you?"&nbsp; She asked, still feeling very awkward and very tense.&nbsp; It showed as she noticed the streaming lines of stars outside that she watched every day on her shift, hoping to ease her tensions as much as she could.&nbsp; Maybe, she could find a way to calm down with all of those people that she could see looking at her still like she was an outcast of some sort.

She waved a hand and for effect, waved her antenna on that side too. She stood Maira came close and then when the Ensign asked if she could join her, couldn't resist it. "<acronym title="This would be an Andorian's version of the old Human joke, &quot;Why, am I coming apart?&quot;">Why, is my Bolian blood showing?</acronym>" She laughed and ran a finger down the centre of her face in mimicry of the Bolians' unique facial feature. The human clearly didn't get the joke and Par shrugged. "Of course, Maira. I invited you, didn't I?"<br><br>She waited until the woman was seated and called up the table's holographic menu. "What would you like to eat and drink? Oh, say, they do have glow ale, and red bat with tuber roots! I'm in heaven! I shall have to eat here more often! The replicator in my quarers simply doesn't have the ability to produce a wide range of food. I keep trying to reprogram it and it's almost as if the thing is sentient, it simply will not produce the genuine article! I gave up in the end and switched to Vulcan food. It seems to manage that okay."<br><br>She paused and blushed a slightly darker blue, her antennae dipping. "Sorry, I'm babbling. What can I get you?"<br><br>Par waited for Maira to say what she would like and headed for the bar to place her order.

It wasn’t a drink that many establishments in the Federation carried, but it was just about the only thing that he missed from his homeworld. He’d tried several human varieties during his time on Earth, and a few were close, but nothing quite matched the sheer richness of the beverage. Normally, he wouldn’t even have bothered to ask for it, but he had heard nothing but good things about the woman who now stood across the bar from him. “If so, I’d love a glass. If not, a guess a few fingers of Whiskey will do. Rye preferably. I never did get that into the single malt stuff.”<br><br>When asked about his thoughts, Denevis grew quiet for a moment. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to talk. It was simply that he wanted to take care in choosing the right words. Nobody liked it when someone they didn’t know just unloaded their problems on them without warning. Looking up, he met Angelica’s eyes with his dark gaze as he answered. “Just a little nervous,” He told her. “First posting and all. Truth is, I still can’t believe that I’m here. It all seems a little surreal and I keep thinking that I’m going to blink once too often and find myself back on Orion.”<br><br>As he said that, Denevis reached over the bar with his hand offering her the human gesture of greeting known as a handshake: something else that he had learned while on Earth. “My name is Denevis.”<br>

"Hi Angie. You know you really ought to get that universal translator of yours looked at. I could swear you spoke to me in one of those archaic pink-skin languages again..." It was an old joke between engineer and bar tender. "Mmmm, I fixed her helm console his morning and she's so grateful, she's joined me on a date!" The Andorian blushed a little, but her antennae stayed up, and one swivelled around to point back at the young Navaho.<br><br>"Uh yes, is your glow ale replicated or real? If it's replicated I'll have a half litre, if it's real I'll have a litre!" She grinned and then added, "An orange juice for my friend, and a large plate of red bat, and tuber roots... oh and a side order of shaysha beetles if you can do them please?"

"Go ahead and head back to her.&nbsp; It seems that she may need someone to... listen to more than I can."&nbsp; She admitted as it seemed that Maira was speaking to herself again while looking out of the window.&nbsp;

I'd hate to hear what you call the order if a Klingon asks for his favourite..." Par giggled. A side order of roaches indeed! In fact, she'd eaten in a Klingon restaurant on Star Base Fifteen and had thoroughly enjoyed the experience which had her human companions turning the same colour as the Orion next to her. "Out of interest, if someone orders a rare steak, do you call up a slice of undercooked ruminant muscle?" She winked playfully at the listener, then grinned at the green skinned male before gathering her glasses and heading back to the table where her date waited, indeed the woman was mumbling to herself again.<br><br>Par sat down and placed the glass of fruit juice in front of the woman. "Are you sure you don't want something to eat? Well I suppose you can share mine if you like, although I don't know many humans who can eat Andorian food." She grinned. "For some reason those that do tend to remove the shells from the beetles first". She shrugged. Personally I find the consumption of ground up grass seeds to be quite repulsive, and yet your species makes all sorts of things from them, even your beer, which is really strange."<br><br>Par lifted her glass and said something that the universal translator struggled with fora second and then spat out the word "Cheers". She grinned and took a long pull. "Damn but that's good! So, my pretty pink-skin, tell me of these spirit guides? I am interested to see if they have any parallel in my own culture".

It was a concept that brought out mixed emotions in him. At once he thought of his father, magnificent in his unyielding desire for adventure and the consequences that had been paid as a result of it.

I’ve spent time on ships before, so I’m sure I’ll be fine.” <br><br>At about the time he finished speaking, he noticed a young Andorian at the bar. As he glanced over at her and met her eyes, he also nodded politely. He listened quietly as Angelica took her order, learning her name from the conversation.

He waited until the Andorian had returned to her friend before catching Angelica’s eye once more.<br><br>“I don’t want to be a bother,” He said. “But any chance I can get that rye?”<br>

I probably would be stuck in a Medical Starbase with counselors prodding my brain and with me wondering why... no one ever seemed to give a damn if I lived or died."&nbsp; She admitted, knowing that she spoke a little too much about herself but not knowing how to deflect it away, she looked out at the stars.&nbsp; <br><br>"I hope... that you don't think of me as... another crazy Indian girl who talks to herself like everyone else seems to do."&nbsp; She admitted, never having been put in this position of actually speaking to someone casually before in her life.

The Andorian smiled a knowing smile as Maira asked her final question. "Well, let me see. I do not know this word 'Indian' you use. As for being crazy... I fought in the Dominion war. I saw Jem'hadar board the ship I was on and attempt to wipe out the entire crew, I saw the captain blow four decks into space to kill them. Those four decks still had Federation crew on them at the time. I made it out just in time. Most of my squad did not. I was in security at the time..." <br><br>She paused, her antennae drooping at the memory. "Maira, by comparison with some of the things I have seen and done, you are perfectly sane". She chuckled. "In a galaxy where races such as the Metrons and the Q exist, who is to say that you do not have spirit guides?" She picked up one of the large, cockroach-like beetles and popped it into her mouth, chewing with a loud crunching noise. "These really are delicious. You should try one", she chuckled and began carving at the bat's flesh with her eating utensils.<br><br>"I come from a race of beings with four genders", she said softly. "The Ferengi&nbsp; males have their sex organs in their ears. Vulcans go sex mad every seven years. The Trill are humanoid, but carry a worm in their belly that is far older anmd more intelligent than any human! Why should you not be accompanied by several disembodied creatures who seek to aid you? Although..." The blue skinned engineer tipped her head to one side, "... I am a bit puzzled why you would tolerate a guide who seems to wish you harm? This Klesh, you say, wishes for you to wither away? That does not seem particularly helpful!"<br><br>She chuckled and popped a tuber root into her mouth, chewing thoughtfully. "Please, try some", she smiled at the young human.

She chuckled, took a beetle, cracked the shell off, and delicately removed the soft blue flesh from inside. "Here. There is a food on your world i have tried, Kay-june Shrimp? It is a not dissimilar texture. I would hesitate to compare the taste, but I understand that your shrimp can be prepared in a number of ways, Kay-june being but one? I believe the preparation of the shrimp and the preparation of the shaysha beetle are reasonably similar!"<br><br>Par listened sympathetically to the human talking about her past. "It seems to me, then that this serpent spirit is the one you should be most grateful to, as he kept you safe. He does not, perhaps, wish you harm, so much as wishing to continue to keep you safe. Not diminishing you but keeping you from harms way? I can see how he would want to do that." She smiled and reached a pale blue hand to touch the pale brown one. "But you have learned when to heed his advice and when to disregard it. That makes you strong, that makes you a warrior! A true warrior knows what fights to fight and what fights to back away from. A true warrior knows that if you start a fight you cannot win, it had better be for a good reason! If your reason to fight is not good, then only fight if you know you can win. Or at least, draw." She smiled softly. "Your father sounds like a dishonourable man. I am grateful that my fathers were both honourable and my mothers also. Two of them have also gone to <acronym title="The Andorian word for Sha Ka Ree"><em>{unpronounceable}</em></acronym>, but they died with honour".<br><br>The blue-skinned engineer paused and took another mouthful of the bat's flesh. "Thish..." she said around the mouthful, then swallowed and went on "Tastes a lot like .... Darn it, what is that Earth meat called.... It's a bird, has a long tail, it is usually hung for several days to give it a stronger flavour before it is cooked.... Pleasant? Peasant? Something like that. Red bat tastes something like that. Here..." She tore a strip off the still warm carcase and offered it to her companion. "You really should eat something, you know". The Andorian grinned wickedly. "Have you ever eaten Klingon food?"<br><br>After a pause in which she ate more and washed it down with the glow ale - which didn't actually glow, but was made from a plant called a glow - Par asked, "Do the spirits help you steer the ship?"

She nodded and shrugged. "My Ch'pa died fighting the Dominion. My Zh'ma died fighting the Borg. She was not assimilated, I saw the recording of her ship self destructing, and taking a Borg sphere with it! My Sh'ma and Th'pa are both still alive though". Par smiled and noticed that the human did not pull her hand away. She held it gently. "But if the spirits of my two parents and your one are looking at us now, I hope they approve". She smiled softly and caressed the palm of Maira's hand. <br><br>"Klingon food is ... something of an acquired taste". The Andorian said with a small chuckle. "Most humans will look at it and loose there appetite. But it is actually very tasty. And you know, your bread? it is made with a type of bacterium called a yeast?" She shuddered. "You eat soured, mouldy lactation from a ruminant herbivore, you drink the same lactation. You eat the vomit of a certain species of insect, and you eat the aborted foetuses of avians..." She smirked. "My advice to you, pretty Maira, is not to think about what you are eating, but to simply eat it. If you do not enjoy the taste and texture then so be it, but if you do, then you can think about what it is and what it looks like..."<br><br>Par giggled and added, "Perhaps I should blind fold you and feed you small samples of different foods?"<br><br>Maira talked about her ambitions and Par nodded. "Indeed, there are several such mechanicals now recognised as a new species within the federation, they are self aware and intelligent. They have the same rights as any other federation citizen now, with one exception, that they are unable to reproduce." Par nodded wisely. "Ensign Snowpaw, I consider your ambitions to be noble and achievable and I look forward to one day being transporter chief aboard a vessel commanded by yourself!" She giggled and breifly released Maira's hand tt brush the gold coloured cloth of the human's sleeve that marked her out as command track, then touched her own red top that marked her as a specialist and not command.<br><br>"I would enjoy helping you achieve your ambitions, because, sadly, mine have all been achieved and I am unlikely to progress further. I have an ambition to keep from getting in trouble again and making senior chief or master chief, but I regret that this is unlikely to happen". The blue skinned Zhen shrugged. The entire time she was talking and listening, both her antennae were pointing directly at the Navaho.<br><br>Finally, she could wait no longer and with a blush and a dip of her cranial appendages, she said softly, "I mentioned that I am from a race with four genders, I am Zhen, and we normally mate with the Shen, who are mostly female". Par inclined her head to one side. "Your race has only two genders, yet I understand that it is not uncommon for males to be with males and females with females. Would you consider...." She paused and drank the last of her glass of ale. "Would you consider me?"

Then she moved o he other side of he able, to si next to Maira on the soft bench that was just big enough for them both.<br><br>Their hips pressed against one another and Par slid her arm around the human's waist, holding her close. "I will do my best to guide you on your path, Maira, I will comfort you when you need it, and kick your behind when you need it too. And I will try and get along with the others you share your life with. Except... I'm allergic to cats, so if any of hem is a cat, please keep that one at a distance?"<br><br>Her antenna twitched down on that side and delicately stroked Maira's ear and she moistened blue lips with he tip of a blue tongue. Would anyone notice if she kissed he ensign, right here in Ten-Forward? Would anyone care? The words of a song by the Human opera writers, Gilbert and Sullivan came into her head. <em>Love is a platform on which all ranks meet.</em><br><br>Almost without realising it, she began to hum the catchy tune from five centuries before. A feeling of contentment came over her. Suddenly, nothing else mattered. She just wanted to sit here, cuddling this insecure but attractive woman and watching the stars flow past in the optical illusion that the Warp bubble created.<br><br>She grinned and said softly, "Mesmerising, isn't it? The star field, I mean. But I guess you're used to it, hmm? Now the warp core containment field, that's something you don't want to stare at for too long". She giggled. "Why, I've known people stand and sare at it all day, lost in the sheer beauty and power of it...!"Her voice was soft, warm and seductive and her free hand gently touched Maira's face, gently turning it towards her own, until their mouths were just a few centimetres apart. She smiled, then, and waited to see if Maira would make the next move.

The second touch was warmer, soft, but tender. tentative, as if the human were unsure whether touching lips together was actually the correct way to kiss. Par smiled and let the other explore the sensations, allowing her to make the moves in her own time. The human slipped an arm around her and Par moved even closer. As the next, tentative kiss landed on her mouth, she kissed back, pressing more firmly, her long, almost reptilian tongue snaking out and teasing the Human's mouth, demanding admittance. <br><br>This time, she took control of the kiss, making it last, making it deep, caressing Maira's tongue with her own as she explored the unfamilliar mouth of the human woman.<br><br>After a few moments, she pulled away and smiled. "Wow. I've never kissed a human woman quite like that before..." She lowered her antennae. "Normally they dive straight in, but, Maira, you are so soft and gentle. I&nbsp; really am your first, aren't I?"<br><br>The Andorian sighed softly. "Look, I really like you, I - I want you, I want to make love with you, I believe that is the Human term for it. But, Maira, I don't want to take advantage of your innocence. So, you tell me: Do you want to come back to my quarters and make love, do you want to stay here and have another drink and watch the stars warp by, or do you want to say goodbye for now we go our seperate ways and think hings over and decide what we want to do tomorrow?"<br><br>She chuckled, then added, to lighten the mood, "By the way, Cardasians are supposed to be the best kissers in the Alpha Quadrant, because hey have really long tongues. I've never kissed one myself".

I found my kindred spirit... in you."&nbsp; She leaned her head against Par's shoulder as she finally brought the short answer that Par wanted.&nbsp; "I believe that you know what I want to do.&nbsp; I want to go with my kindred spirit to her resting place... and experience everything that she has to offer me... alone where only the stars will shine upon us."

Despite all her lifetimes experience she was still nervous. That was the thing about being a joined Trill, the Symbiont gives you the memories of doing things and even the knowledge but the actual experience of doing whatever task was required of you first hand....not so much.&nbsp; You put an angry Klingon in front of her and she'd fight him tooth and nail to the death without hesitation, but for this, right here, right now she was nervous to the point that she'd gladly take a Borg invasion than the task she was faced with.<br><br>When she had found out that she had been promoted to the Chief Security Officer position, to replace the former; she'd felt prideful and happy, who wouldn't be for a promotion right? And she loved being a Security Officer so you'd think it wouldn't be that big of a deal. If someone ordered her to go somewhere and fight someone, she'd do it. If she had to risk her life for someone...no problem, she was a good officer and she'd obey her orders...and that's when it hit her, she wouldn't be taking those orders any more, she'd be the one giving them.<br><br>And that was when the nerves had got to her...could she really order other people to risk their lives if necessary? And what if it cost someone their life because she gave them the wrong order at the wrong time? She glanced up and looked at everybody else in the room, all their lives and the safety of the ship was her responsibility now that she was the Security Chief. Of course her inner voice, and 235 years of experience told her she could, he'll she'd even been a Captain once so it should be simple in comparison, alas convincing the 29 year old part of her however was something different. And she was a senior officer now, she'd hadn't had much interaction with the Captain or anyone else from that high in command on the ship before, happy to be a background player and do her job, and now she was part of the centre stage so to speak.<br><br>So here she was, in the bar. Maybe a drink would help convince her, or at the very least settle her nerves. Her shift was over and she was free until tomorrow...barring an attack or something, so one little drink wouldn't hurt right?

How about you?"</strong> she replied, honestly as a man entered and walked over to join them.<br><br><em>""Good morning chief."</em> The man greeted her as he took a seat next to the young Bajoran.<br><br>Kianna recognised him as one of her Security Officers, having spent the time since she had gotten off her shift going over the personnel files and nodded at him with a smile <strong>Good Morning Ensign Spett, how are you this morning?</strong> She asked watching as the two in her company exchanged words with the bartender and each other, smiling when she was encouraged to not worry about being on the ship.<br><br><strong>"Oh it's not being on the ship I'm worried about, 4 lifetimes in Starfleet and one as a Captain you get used to what can happen serving on a ship. And the Artemis is a great ship, with a good crew. I'm sure that whatever we encounter we'll be able to handle."</strong> Glancing down at her glass, she took another sip and shook her head in an attempt to banish whatever thoughts she was having, no need to let the Ensign's see a senior officer doubt her own ability, especially not one who served under her. She was brought out of her thoughts when she heard Enan speak. <br><br><em>"And the mission! I am looking forward to exploring the galaxy. Broadening what we know and seeing new species and trying their teas."</em><br><br>She had to pause and do a double take of that before speaking up <strong>"I'm sorry but did you just say you were excited about...trying their teas?</strong> She asked. <br>&nbsp;

In reality, she had some idea what all his rummaging after having tended to the bruise on her rear had been about. She had resisted the temptation to take a glance at his crotch and instead reduced their conversation after they had departed sickbay to some playful banter. When they said goodbye, she was unsure of whether or not take him up on his offer to go to the Ten Forward later that day. <br><br>Libby did arrive in the lounge several hours later. She had been rather restless, and even a sonic shower had not helped to dispel the memory of the afternoon she had spent with Enan. Her decision to join him in the lounge after all was not a fruitful one. Libby went through several drinks and chatted with other colleagues, whilst waiting in vain for the Ensign to show up. After three hours, she guessed he would no longer appear that night, so she returned to her quarters.<br><br>Having dispelled the notion of contacting Enan again, she went to the Ten Forward with the idea of getting herself a nice morning cup of java, when she did now notice the Ensign present in the lounge. She frowned a bit but then did decide to join him at the bar. She slid on a vacant seat near him and turned her gaze over to his side.<strong> “Hey there stranger… I do believe you promised me a drink? You kept me waiting here last night.” </strong>There was no real reproach in her voice, it sounded like an innocent inquiry into what caused him to no-show. She turned to Angela and smiled, before ordering. <strong>“Could I get a cup of black coffee please?” <br></strong>

Not allowed! Wait, okay, so I wasn't married to her and she's not a Trill, and... And who'd going to know?</em> She inwardly shrugged and then glanced over at the newly promoted security chief. What were the chances of that? Two joined Trills on the same ship? Practically zero, and yet stranger, less likely things had happened, like, for example, the Romulans becoming allies of the Federation.<br><br>She <em>hated</em> boiled Syto beans.

She remembered exactly how it tasted, remembered really enjoying the taste, remembered the first time <em>she</em> had tried them and loathed the taste and the texture. But that was before. <br><br>And then Angelica asked her question. Loni grinned broadly as the memory of swimming naked in the sea from a beach on Trinium IV slid unhelpfully into her head, making her instantly horny. She remembered the warm soft body of the woman beneath her on a blanket on the sand, remembered her powerful member penetrating the hot, wet inner core of the El-Aurian, as they lay there in the soft light of the two moons. She remembered how they had lain together afterwards and watched the sun rise...<br><br><acronym title="You know me, my sweet. Remember the rising sun and two moons setting?">"Tú me conoces, mi dulce. Recuerde el sol naciente y dos lunas ajuste?"</acronym><br><br>It was a fun game, she decided, and totally lost on anyone not as long-lived as a Trill Symbiont or an El-Aurian. Hafrin had been Loni's host before Tanik. He had died at a considerable age, peacefully in his bed. The love affair between them must have been almost two hundred years ago. Reassociation be damned. But how the hell was she going to explain it to Erica?

Vox certainly wasn't the first Trill to break that one and probably wouldn't be the last, however if this one would or not...assuming she was even a Joined Trill, that is. Her assumption was based purely on the "Met this time." Portion of her greeting, not many unjoined Trill would use that sort of term.

Stink-ale, some humans called it. It had to be made fresh and drunk quickly. Refreshing. Loni wiggled a bit and Imira shifted in her seat. <em>Be quiet, you. You'll get us both into trouble!</em> "It's good to see you again." She blushed at the memory, and took a forkful of the beans, shoveling them into her mouth without thinking. "UGH! Oh god, how on earth did Hafrin eat this stuff? I know he loved it, I can feel the pleasure he took eating it. Tanik only ate it occasionally, but... Hafrin... and the cheese on top?

I didn't think symbionts were supposed to feel that sort of attachment..." She didn't realise she'd spoken aloud until she looked up and saw the odd looks she was getting.<br><br>"Ah, ha ha! Sorry. I talk to him - it - in my head sometimes" Imira blushed and pointed at her midriff, where the pouch opening was all but concealed by her bellybutton. "That sort of slipped out". She gave herself a firm poke the tummy. "Now see what you've done". She looked up, giggling.

The penalty for reassociation was, to all intents and purposes, death. Being exiled and cut off from Trill society, refused another host, so when the present host died, so would the symbiont. It was a bit harsh, but it was the law. Won't do anything about it?<br><br>"Look, Vox,", she turned serious, her voice hushed in the noise of the bar. "I'm twice as old as you, kid, so take it from one who has been around, they can and they will act against you if they have proof, so be careful, okay?"

"Take it easy, youngster".<br><br>With a soft smirk, because she had read Kianna's medical file and knew the host was older than her, she turned back to Angelica and Erica.

I know there are some people who think I only go against the Commission because I'm still "young" and being the rebel, or that I like annoying them, but that's not true....well it is fun annoying them but it's not why I do it. I've served 5 lifetimes in Starfleet not because it goes against the whole live a different life rule, I do it because I love being in Starfleet. 4 full lifetimes and now this one is number 5 and every one of them, I've seen and experienced something new, which is the whole point of being a Joined Trill isn't it? To live interesting lives, collect memories for the next host, gain knowledge and experience to further the Trill as a whole.

She seems to be a thousand light years away her cheeks growing a deep red. He knew what kinds of things he was imagining and wondered if she was imagining the same. He suddenly downs her drink and cake before rushing out of Ten Forward. He chuckles and goes back to enjoying his own drink and fruit. Unlike Liara he takes his time with them hoping to catch more fun bits of conversation. After little while he finished his drink and fruit pushing them forward to Angelica's side of the bar. "Thank you, Angelica. Those were great." Her turns to Libby and smiles. "I definitely owe you a drink after last night. We will have to come here again sometime. I'm going to go get ready for the day so I'll see you later, Libby." He pats her shoulder bidding farewell and waves goodbye to the assembled patrons of Angelica's bar along with Angelica before heading out. He strolls down the hall way and once on the turbo lift asks the computer where Kroken Liara was located. <br><strong>"Kroken Liara is located in the Holodeck and is engaged in a private program."</strong>

All that talk about threesomes had gotten her a worked up, sadly she didn't have anyone to partner with for a little relief...not that it would be a problem for a young, lithe woman like herself....especially someone who had the knowledge and experience as both genders...and the attraction to both too, which made for a lot of potentials, like that young ensign down in Engineering whose eyes, always managed to find their way to her cleavage whenever she was within visual range.<br><br>Then again she was more than capable of handling herself if need be...or maybe a trip to the Holodeck was in order...she sighed, after all it had been a while since she had been with anybody and it just wasn't the same using a hand or a toy. At least she had some time whatever she decided..unless the Captain or somebody summoned her at least. Handing her glass back to Angelica with a smile and a thank you she stood up and slowly started making her way towards the exit, figuring she'd either head back to her quarters to scratch her itch or head to the holodeck and have the computer help scratch it....besides maybe she'd run into someone on the way who needed to scratch an itch too, only time would tell.
