"I dont think weve been formerly introduced. Im Lt. Jason DuMont, the new
Security Chief"

"No, we haven't.. Guess you know my name already, since you yelled it out.."
she stated, a bit blunt, which was her usual style. "And in case you didn't
know, I'm Chief of the Science department.. There something I can do for
you?"

He raised one eyebrow. "Actually I was wondering if there was something i
could do for you? I know I'm no betazoid, or a counsellor, but sometimes its
effective just to have someone listen to you"

Kylee arched her brow, glancing quickly over to where the Blakes sat, before
back to Jason. "Good thing you're not.. don't need people going in to my
thoughts when they don't belong.." she stated. "As for talking.. that's not
really what I do.."

Jason sighed a bit. "Well is there anything i can do to help you?" he said.
"Look, i know theres gotta be somethingh i can do"

Kylee turned to fully face him. "Unless you want to be my sparring partner..
not really.. Why you so interested in what's going on with me anyway?" she
asked.

Jason straightened his posture. "Because as Chief of Security, its my job to
look towards the well being of the entire crew. I take the mental and
emotional health as part of the job" he said, as he paused for breath, "as
for sparring partner, id love to"

Kylee studied him, her eyes moving slowly up and down, assessing his skills
in how he held himself. "My well being is just fine.. All I need is to work
out some stress.. and maybe get a few hours of sleep.." she said, shrugging
slightly. "Fair warning.. my workouts can be painful.." she said, her
clothes showing that she'd already been working out, ripped in a few places.

Jason chuckled. "Ill be fine, I promise. When would you like me to meet you,
after the awards?"

Kylee blinked, her brow quirking. "Not heard about any awards.. Was actually
planning to head to the holosuite now.. Run one of my training programs.."

Kat continued to sit off in the corner watching the door for a familiar
face, though one that has been estranged to her for the past several months.
She sighed softly sipping her tea til her attention was drawn to the
exchange between Ms Nix and what appeared to be the new security chief.  She
giggled lightly  knowing he might very well be getting in over his head if
he went through working out with the pretty partial klingon, that is if he
were familiar  with the race as a whole. She remembered learning that Nick
had been on his way to see her after having been in the holosuite with Nix
the day she was attacked in sick bay. 'why is it that everything in motion
now reflects on that horrible day' she muttered taking another sip of her
tea hoping it'd calm her so she wouldn't be sensed by the Blakes and
interrupt the family atmosphere around them . The commander next turned her
attention to the goings on around the captain catching sight of little Rose
Blake she gave a smile. 'my how you've grown little one.' she whispered to
herself.

Keeping one eye on his daughter as she ate her ice cream, Toby also kept an
eye on the rest of the goings on, and didn't miss Jason and Kylee. He
chuckled and shook his head. No matter how viscious they got, the lure of
the exotic would still over rule good sense when it came to men trying to
befriend and grow close to the demi-klingons on the ship. Watching Jason and
Kylee, left Toby wondering how he managed to become friends with K`y, when
she wasn't even as friendly as Kylee, at least on first, second and third
appearances.

Marcus has been watching the room for a minute as was his habit, and just
like Toby, had noticed Kylee and Jason's interaction.  He slowly realised
that Vilqa had asked him a question. He smiled, "Oh, not at the moment," He
looked back to her, now fully intent on their conversation, "However I may
help myself to an old fashioned Irish scone."

Melissa noted that her Chief was in the lounge but she and Justin were
enjoying their meal while discussing non-work related things, like old
books, Trill history, and whatever came to mind.  More than anything they
were enjoying each other's company.

Kylee glanced about, her brow arching as she noted others watching the two
of them. She just shook her head, turning her attention back to Jason,
though wanting to head out to the holosuite soon.

"Beer... scone.. you know why the heck not Marcus," Vilqa taunted then
glanced to the box on the surface of Toby's table.  Vilqa nodded toward him
in a knowing fashion after looking back up so that their eyes caught.

Jason could see everyones attention turning towards them, but he really
didnt care. "Well I can meet you there shortly, after our 'get together'
here?"

Catching the look Toby nodded, and shifted his grip on Rose, before he stood
and cleared his throat, "Could I have everyone's attention please?" He
glanced towards Jason and Kylee, "I do mean everyone."

Vilqa stood up, hands on her hips as she watched the conversations wind
down, "I need the following officers to take a line. Doctor Blake, Lox,
Saladin, Nix and Wilkinson."
