Lt Cmdr Wil Ukinix & First Secretary Keehani Ukinix - If Everybody Looked The Same
Wil Ukinix
((Ukinix Quarters))
Ukinix: Computer. Directions to Lieutenant Vanlith’s quarters, please.
The computer chirped a confirmation tone.
Indicators on the wall lit up, directing him to Charlena’s door…
((Vanlith Quarters, Habitat Ring))
Once there, he pressed the door chime.
Ukinix: Charlena?
Vanlith: Come in
The door slid opened, and Wil walked through enthusiastically.
The first thing he noticed Charlena putting a bookmark in an actual, physical book.
Ukinix: Char! How are you?!
::Looking at Char booking book down:: Caught you bad a bad time?
Vanlith: No no you didn’t interrupt it’s fine really, it’s not the first time I’ve read this by a long shot.
Ukinix: Oh really? Well, I’m still sorry to have interrupted your reading of - ::stepping over to look at front of book:: - “Pride and Prejudice.”
Sounds interesting.
Vanlith: So what brings you to my humble abode?
Ukinix: Well firstly to say “hi”, how was your break?
Vanlith: Response
Ukinix: The Ambassador has asked me and Jansen to organise a cultural festival on the Grand Mezzanine.
You know, different foods, arts, dancing… a few drinks.
Vanlith: Response
Ukinix: Well I was wondering if you could help out with a stall that showcases some tastes of Risa.
And hey, ::palms up, smirking:: if just that means you set up a portable replicator that dispenses Risian Mai Tais, that’s fine with me.
Vanlith: Response
Ukinix: ::Smirking:: I reckon you’ll get half the crew there.
And the Thor crew as well.
Vanlith: Response
Ukinix: See you on the mezzanine.
((Later that evening – Grand Mezzanine))
The Grand Mezzanine was alive, colourful and happy.
An old sounding song which Keehani guessed was probably from Earth played in the background through the PA’s speakers.
Keehani’s empathic senses were feeding her with feelings joy and relaxation.
It turned out having two stalls next to each other representing Risa and Betazed respectively was very popular with the various “local” Delta Quadrant species.
Vanlith: Response
The atmosphere was such that Keehani had to lean in slightly to be able to hear Charlena over everybody’s voices.
Keehani: I know! Ooh, I have an idea – I’ll save you a crepe and a pie if you save me a Mai Tai.
Vanlith: Response
Just as Charlena finished speaking, the Betazoid handed a plate to a Norcadian woman who approached the stalls.
Person: And what do you call it?
Keehani: “Uttaberry crepe”. Would you like to try an uttaberry pie as well?
Person: No thanks. ::Turning to Charlena:: And what are you offering?
Vanlith: Response
As the Norcadian woman left, Keehani recognised Doctor Suribana from the Brew Continuum earlier in the day.
She also recognised a human she hadn’t yet met.
Suribana/Toliver: Response
Keehani: Hello! ::to Suribana:: It’s good to see you again.
::To Toliver:: Hello, I’m First Secretary Keehani Ukinix, Diplomatic Corps.
::To both:: Can I offer either of you a pie or a crepe?
Suribana/Toliver/Vanlith: Response
Any: Response
