Commander Wil Ukinix - Man Of Simple Pleasures
Wil Ukinix
((BBQ Area, Blue Gums Biome, Peace Park))
And before you roll your eyes and say, “not again, how original”, the man is a creature of simple pleasures. He loved them, and when things were busy or frantic, he missed them.
It had been days since the Vaadwaur had left, and the clean-up job had been sizeable. The former Chief Engineer had literally rolled his uniform sleeves up (well they were up most of the time anyway) and gave engineering a hand as if he was an Ensign, under Lael’s and Saavei’s direction (because he had ordered them to order him to, and also ordered them not to revoke that order until he ordered them that the order was finally over).
Despite the nature of the circumstances, he had loved it. It was like the old Veritas days.
But with most areas stabilised, and other Engineers now politely telling him to go away, we’re fine here now (he was sure they didn’t want him to find out about buffer time-- did they not realise he knew all about that?), it was time to get back to the things he loved.
Once of them was food. Simple food.
Sausage in bread, topped with caramelised onions and sauce and/or mustard.
He’d even changed out of his uniform into cream shorts, his black AC/DC t-shirt that he still treasured, and a basic brown undone flannelette shirt worn over the top.
The sausages, vegie on one plate (he was after all vegetarian sensitive because of his FO), and a mix of synthesised and real meat on the other, sizzled away satisfyingly. They were just starting to brown. On both plates, the onions were just starting to colour, and gave off that smell that said “hey we’re properly cooking now!”
Several different loafs of square bread sat on the nearby park table. He smiled, as he subconsciously stroked his beard that he hadn’t trimmed in at least a few days.
Ukinix: ::chef’s kiss:: Gorgeous. Smell that, Robin. ::takes sip from beer can::
Hopper: Response
Ukinix: How you goin’, alright? It’s been a busy few days.
Hopper: Response
Ukinix: I’m amazed the Grand Expert has asked to hang around, I thought she’d want to get back home quick smart.
Hopper: Response
(OOC: happy to backsim!)
It was just then that Ensign Bryn, their newest addition, made their way toward the barbeque.
Wil handed the tongs to Robin--
Ukinix: ::Cheekily:: That’s an order.
--before heading over to greet Saelis.
Ukinix: ::cheerily, offering hand:: Finally we get to meet! Ensign Bryn, welcome to Amity Outpost. I’m Commander Ukinix. Wil. Hungry?
Bryn: Response

Bryn: Response
Wil made his way back the barbeque to check on the sausages.
Ukinix: You joined us at a crazy time. Are you all recovered?
Bryn: Response
Hopper: Response
Ukinix: You did an amazing job in the Everest. 6 weeks on a QSD ship, then straight into the action.
Bryn/Hopper: Response
