Samantha Richards - Please. Don't Break Anything
Samantha Richards
((XO & Sam’s quarters, Deck 2, USS Artemis))
After deciding that their quarters were too cold and being unable to change it, Sam asked OPS to send someone to help. An Ensign Tho’Bi reported he was on his way.
With a blanket wrapped tightly around her, she waited for this… Tho’Bi to arrive.
Some time later the door chime finally sounded. The sound must have shorted out Sam’s brain because she forgot what to say.
Richards: ::Looking towards the door:: Hello-yes- Open-::pausing:: Come in!
Now that she figured out how to use her words properly, the door opened with the typical swoosh. There stood a particularly anxious looking Andorian.
Tho’Bi: Ensign Tho’Bi. E-Engineering. You had a pro-problem with your En-Environmental Setup.
With a raised eyebrow, Sam looked at the Ensign who peered around the doorway, but didn’t enter.
Richards: Yeah, it is so cold in here and I tried changing it, but I don’t think it’s working right. ::Waving her hand:: Come on in.
He went to take a step in, but put that foot back down before using the other foot to enter. As he walked in he noticed Copurrnicus watching him intently.
Tho’Bi: ::to Richards:: Oh, I’m s-sorry. I-I didn’t kn-know you had company. ::to the cat:: I-I’m Ensign Tho’Bi. I just tr-transfered here from th-the Academy.
Sam shifted her eyes between Tho’Bi and Copurrnicus, thinking it was definitely strange he felt the need to introduce himself to the cat, but she shook her head as another cold chill surged through her.
Richards: You know what you’re doing right?
Tho’Bi: ::points upwards:: Y-You said the en-environmental step up needed ch-changing.
Sam nodded and did her best not to let the frustration of being cold turn into frustration with the Ensign.
Richards: It’s too cold in here. I need it to be less cold. Can you help with that?
Tho’Bi: Response
Richards: Thank you. I am just going to ::pointing to the couch:: be sitting over here if you need anything.
Sam grabbed her freshly replicated bowl of Cheezy Poofs and wrapped herself back up on the couch with a blanket.
Tho’Bi: Response
It was by that point Sam had noticed the absolutely horrid-looking PADD held by the Ensign, giving her an uneasy feeling. oO I can not throw up these cheezy poofs on this floor… again. Oo
Richards: Oh, and uh, Tho’Bi. ::Gesturing around:: Please… Don’t break anything. I don’t think either of us want to explain to Commander Dakora why something in his quarters is broken.
It had already been a huge adjustment living with someone she was dating, it was new for both of them and the last thing she wanted was to make waves. Sam worried maybe she should have either dealt with the cold or just called Talos.
After a moment of deep breaths, she decided to trust the Ensign and let him do his job, he couldn’t break anything that badly… Could he?
Tho’Bi: Response
