Ens Lyara Alroyo - Fashionably Late
Lyara Alroyo
((Deck 6 - Elysium, Main Lounge))
A quick cup of tea before an archeological excursion sounded like just the right thing to start the day. And she had some tasks to do before they had to meet so why not go to the Elysium and try to finish as much as she could over a cup? Last time she had been there she ran into an old friend so clearly it was a place of good luck.
Alroyo walked up to one of the replicators and issued her order.
Lyara: Jasmine tea. Extra Hot.
Before she knew it, the tea was right there piping hot in the alcove. The familiar smell of the tea hit her nose and a slight smile formed on her face. She picked it up and made her way over to the more quiet area of the restaurant to focus. After a bit of scanning she found a nice secluded corner and made her way over.
Once seated she took a sip of the tea now cooled down to a perfect hot temperature. It was recommended to her from a friend at the academy years back and has been her favorite ever since. As she kept the tea close to her lips and took another sip she thought about her and hoped she was adjusting to her ship as well as Alroyo was. She had been concerned about not being on a ship with her friend but thankfully to her surprise two of them were already stationed on the Artemis.
She smiled to herself and turned on her PADD now that she was comfortable in her spot. Sadly, she couldn’t think of old friends for now as operations paddwork was waiting for her. And if it was like any typical day she had a lot of paddwork until it was time to go to the shuttle. Lyara took one last melancholic sip of tea as she glanced at the time on the padd to see how long she had until she had to make her way down to the shuttle.
oO Ok, five minutes past meeting time. Let’s crack open holodeck reservations Oo
Alroyo nearly spat the tea out of her mouth once she realized she was late. Immediately she got up and ran to the replicator, taking caution to not spill any tea on herself. She placed the cup into the replicator tray and practically yelled at the computer.
Lyara: Make this to-go!
The tea rematerialized quickly into a styrofoam cup. She was stunned at the fact the computer didn’t argue with her like it did if you said anything outside “i want [food] at [temperature]”. After a brief second of disbelief she picked up the cup and with the full power of the Prophets she speed walked to the shuttlebay.

Finally, she had made it to the shuttlebay only slightly out of breath and the drink still hot. Taking advantage of the anti-stress properties of jasmine she took a sip of the tea and made her way to the shuttle which was thankfully still there. Unfortunately she’d look like one of those cadets that arrived to class late with a raktajino but it was better to be a little late than to not go at all.
Bergmen: So, Mr. Filistrien, how does it look? Will it be taking off soon?
Filistrien: Response
Sadar/Gnai/Imril: Response
Lyara speed walked her way into the shuttle and loudly announced her presence.
Lyara: Hopefully you guys aren’t taking off without the pilot?
She walked up to the cockpit of the ship and gave a nod to Gila who was the head of the mission.
Lyara: Sorry I’m late sir, got caught up in paddwork.
Sadar: Response
Alroyo gave a pleasant nod as she sat down at the conn and took a deep breath. She felt bad for being late even if it seemed like they were barely starting their takeoff procedures. On the bright side she had been acquainted with the lieutenant on her warp from DS9 to Sol. However, as far as professional first impressions went this wasn’t the best. Especially for the intelligence officer she hadn’t met before.
Lyara: ::Giving a small wave:: Hello petty officer, I’m Ensign Lyara.
Filistrien: Response
She gave a polite wave to the others and tried to play off her slight embarrassment of being late.
Sadar/Gnai/Imril/Bergmen: Response
Lyara took another sip of her tea and placed it down as she looked back to the console.
Lyara: So did we get our pre-flight checks done?
Sadar: Response
Filistrien/Gnai/Imril/Bergmen: Response
