=.\= Ten Forward =.\=

Vilqa sat quietly at her table as the soft murmur of conversation droned
soothingly through Ten Forward. She had her eyes closed and enjoyed the
peaceful calm as the vessel glided toward home; where ever that would be
within the Fourteenth Fleet's jurisdiction. It wasn't decided yet where the
crew would pause for R&R but she would figure that out within the next day
or two. A couple tables away was a game of Tri-dimensional chess and near
the bar a pair of officers were playing kadis-kot. It seemed as though the
crew; the captain included were all doing their part to try and let go
knowing that they did their deed and now the gauntlet was passed on.

Dressed in civilian clothes and carrying a box and what looks like a piece
of wood, Toby slipped into Ten Forward and looked around as he sought out a
place to sit, finally settling not far from K`ylana and set the box and what
he's working on down on the table, the place was too busy for him to risk
working on his latest project. Instead he ordered a cup of coffee and
something to eat.

Justin came in with Melissa from Sciences.  They were discussing early 21st
century space station construction, and laughing at the lack of tech that
they used to create the strange looking space stations.

Jason walked in, dressed in civilian clothing. He sometimes didnt like
wearing civilian clothes, but figured he would for the sake of the occasion.

He walked in and sat with the group, and ordered a Aldebaran whiskey

Kylee walked in, wearing a tank top and shorts, her hair braided down her
back, though the clothing had several cuts along the abdomen and back area.
Her appearance showed she'd spent some time in the holosuite. She ordered a
glass of water then went over to an empty seat in the corner, plopping down
and turning her gaze to stare out the window to watch the stars pass by.

Cait entered the lounge holding the hand of little Rose. The child stopped,
hiding shyly behind her mother as she checked out all the people in the
room. Then her gaze fell on Toby and an excited Dada! rings out. Rose
proceeded to drag Cait over to her daddy.

Lowering his fork with a chuckle, Toby looked towards Rose and Cait and
smiled leaning back in his chair. "Well hello ladies."

Rose let go of Cait's hand and all but threw herself at her father, secure
in the knowledge he would catch her and never let her fall. "Me has
eyesceams, Dada! Eyesceams!"

Wincing as her daughter took the leap of faith, Cait moved over a bit more
sedately and kissed Toby's cheek. "Hello to you too and to you as well,
K`y." She grinned at Toby. "Guess what our little Princess did to earn her
treat?"

Kat walked into ten forward slowly, her green eyes scanning the room
spotting an empty table near the corner. She didn't exactly feel like being
around people at the moment. Her body fatigued from the mission or was there
more to the doctor's mood.  She'd at least had the chance to change from her
uniform looking strikingly gorgeous as usual in the same red dress she'd
worn before while seated in the arboretum reading a book. 'where is he?' she
muttered knowing it better be something pretty important to keep Nick away.
She spotted at leas one face she'd not recognize that being of the new
security chief or so she'd heard there was one. She moved slowly towards
that corner table and sat down.

Vilqa turned her head toward Cait, "Hello Doc. How are you holding up? Did
you finally get some good rest?" Leaning back in her chair she balanced the
weight on the back legs in a manner which as a student one would get
reprimanded for doing so and reached for her gin and tonic that Sutton had
gotten her hooked onto all those years ago.


"I'm holding up just fine and as for rest, well, that's relative with a
certain bundle of energy sparking through our quarters." Cait smiled down at
her daughter, her whole face softening. "Course, I wouldn't trade that for
anything in the universe. I did have something I wanted to ask you though."



Not one to let his little girl down, Toby caught her quite deftly and
settled her in his lap. "Let me see, she cleaned the crayon off the walls by
yelling it them?" He grinned then leaned in to whisper to his daughter, "Not
so loud while inside, it makes people's ears hurt." Then he kissed the top
of her head.


"Don't give her ideas, Dear...No, she read the first page of Green Eggs and
Ham all by herself." Cait replied. Rose tilted her head up and said in a
much

softer voice. "I do not wike gween eggs an' ham."

Marcus headed briskly through the doors that led to Ten Forward. In a moment
his eyes had locked onto all who were present and he was gingerly making his
way through the tables and officers towards his friend K'ylana. As he did so
he saw Cait and Toby close in and so gave a warm smile to each of them.
"Mind if I join you?" His query directed to the three of them, rather more
formally than what he felt, the Ten Forward location giving a simmering
familiarity to his feelings that he had not quite learned to voice in the
context of such a large company.

K`ylana smiled seeing Marcus and nodded as Vilqa's table and the Blake's
table were next to each other, "Certainly Marcus. Relax a bit and offer your
thoughts on who you believe will win the strategic games at play in the
lounge." Music started to play in the corner as one of the officers decided
to give an impromptu performance on his guitar. She continued to balance on
the back feet of her chair, the ice in her gin and tonic tinkling against
the smooth edge of the glass as she shifted the vessel in circles as she
took note as to who had all gathered so far. Then turned toward Cait once
more, "What's that Doc?"
