Lt Cmdr Wil Ukinix (H) - Trainspottin'

[Wil Ukinix]

((Paxau District, Habitat Ring)) 

 

It was an interesting change to be “living” in the Paxau district.  The twelfth-floor deluxe hotel room was luxurious and had a wonderful view of habitat district.  Not as good as his real apartment in Palais-Bourbon that his Betazoid counterpart was living in, but then again, a change was as good as a holiday – and therefore fitting that he was staying in a luxurious hotel room fit for an ambassador.

The other change as a result of his living arrangements was that he was using the Sarek station a lot more than before, as that was the closest train to the Talaxi Palms hotel.  But on this particular day, he had decided to take a walk along the pathway that ran alongside the trainline that ran down the middle of the district.  The walk through Rixx district, and then the San Francisco Bay district, was calming.  When he got to Archer station, it was like reacquainting himself with an old friend.

((Archer Train Station))

As he approached the station’s platform, he saw another friend.  Lieutenant JG Iko, his continental neighbour (if you could call east coast vs west coast of the large continent “neighbours”) was standing at the station, also waiting for the next train.  He smiled as he approached her, not sure if she had seen him.

Ukinix(H): G’day, Bec. 

The human-Klingon hybrid didn’t look up.  Instead, her hand reached for her two pips.

 

Iko: Afternoon, Commander. 

 

Ukinix(H): ::Smiling, playful tone:: Oi!  You look like you’re a million light years away.

Iko: Response

Ukinix(H): I’m the human one.  ::Point at eyes:: Irises are the giveaway.  Blue is human me.  Black is Betazoid bloke.

Iko: Response

As Bec spoke, the next train arrived.

Ukinix(H): Where are you off to?

Iko: Response

Ukinix(H): Mezzanine.  ::Gesturing:: After you.

Iko: Response

Wil followed Bec onto the train.  The doors closed behind him, and he chose to take a seat.  The gravlift train, designed with containment field redundancies to allow the train to still run if ever Amity suddenly had it’s artificial gravity systems deactivate, began to smoothly pull away from the station – thanks in part to the inertial damping system.

As the train followed the line in between the Palais-Bourbon and Beijing districts,  another train heading in the opposite direction on the second set of tracks wooshed by, itself heading on the “down” track for Archer station.  Above the windows on the opposite side of the train was a holographic purple line showing the route it was on.  It also showed the current position of the train as a dot, making its way towards its next stop - Terminal C.

Ukinix: Ah, crap.  Wrong train.  This is the long ride to Mezzanine via the terminals.  ::Shrugging:: Oh, well.

Iko: Response

Ukinix(H): What’s been happening with you?

Iko: Response
