Lt JG Alyndra Syrex - A Blue Blur

[Alyndrasyrex]

((Outside of Alyndra’s Quarters, Deck 3, USS Artemis-A))

Tho’bi: ::nodding:: Yeah (beat) and the holodeck can be programmed with any song in the Federation database. (beat)  ::stops nodding/starts speed-talking:: And we can adjust temperature, gravity, and air pressure, so the musical notes resonate (beat) and are carried by the air like… ::becomes self-conscious of the techno-babble:: they… would… be… on their… home… plan…ets.  ::tilts head:: (beat)  Sorry. (beat)  Too much techno-babble.

 

Syrex: Yes, thank you Ensign ::sighs::. I have seen a holo-deck before believe it or not. I’m not that much older than you.

 

Gnai: There’s also always the arboretum, and the Brew Continuum, they’re both on this deck. ::beat:: Not that this has explored those spaces much. Those could be the first destinations on this ::air quotes with its suit:: tour?

 

Tho’bi:  Sounds like a plan.  ::smiles::

 

Syrex: I’d love to see those! We also have a Brew Continuum onboard the Ronin. It would be nice to compare the two.

 

Gnai: Oh, right, that makes sense… Perhaps even the replicator menus can be compared.

 

oO That’s easy. The BC on the Ronin Prides itself on its independence of replicators Oo

 

Tho’Bi:  ::snorts in amusement::

 

Syrex: Well, I’m sure that can be arranged! There’s a Klowahkan back home who’s trying to take over one of the mess halls. So that’ll be an experience… ::Chuckles half-heartedly:: Not that I can ever go!

 

Gnai: How come…?

 

Tho’Bi: ::Nervously inspects the dents in his Engineering Kit from Lieutenant Vailani’s door::

 

Alyndra’s face turned bright red. Her skin suddenly felt very warm on her face, spreading to the rest of her body.

 

Syrex: Oh.. It’s nothing, just a minor… Cultural exposure should we say.

 

Gnai: Cultural… exposure?

 

Alyndra opened her mouth to perhaps metaphorically shoot her reputation on the Artemis in the foot, when thankfully ensign Tho’Bi saved her.

 

Tho’Bi:  Once, on Deep Space 3, the captain of a cargo-hauler exposed himself to my mother while she was fixing a docking clamp.  She threw him off a balcony.

 

The ensign stared into space for a moment, before he turned to Alyndra and Gnai.

 

Tho’Bi:  ::nodding to himself::  Wait.. What are we talking about?

 

Syrex: Actually, that wasn’t too far off what happened between her and myself.. It’s a shame, I hear she’s really quite good at her craft.  

 

Gnai: This understands, there’s a lot of food that this can’t eat either. ::beat:: As well as any beverages. ::shudder of tendrils::

 

Tho’bi:  Yeah.  I can’t have coffee.  (beat)  I’m not allergic (beat) It just makes me really (beat) really really (beat) really really really (beat) hyped.

 

Alyndra snorted, looking at the ensign. He was practically bouncing off the walls as it was, either from nerves or a similar deuterium-infused blood type as hers. With coffee, she feared he might transmog from an Andorian into a blue ball of static, buzzing off the walls.

 

Syrex: That’s probably for the best, ensign. However, if you really wish to dry it you can have decaffeinated coffee, which won’t give you jitters.

 

Gnai: Well… that’s part of why this isn’t as well-versed in the social locations aboard the ship as most of the other officers… Sorry to say. ::beat, then a gesture with the suit's arms:: This way, if you'll follow?

 

Alyndra nodded, following Gnai’s suit, or possibly extension of itself. Alyndra made a mental note to ask what it felt- how it felt.  

 

Tho’bi: ::nods::  oOForgot to smileOo  ::smiles::

 

Syrex: ::Looking towards Tho’Bi:: Are you always this nervous ensign?

 

Tho’Bi/Gnai: Response

 

Alyndra smiled reassuringly back at the Andorian.

 

Syrex: I’m a doctor, specifically, I am a paediatrician. So, I always know when I see nerves.

 

A mood seemed to shift in the corridor, as the three officers walked in a pyramid formation, Gnai leading them to wherever it deemed socially viable. Alyndra hoped for Karaoke, but would also understand if Tho’Bi’s nerves or Gnai’s jellyfish-like abilities wouldn’t mean everyone would enjoy it.

 

Gnai/Tho’Bi: Response

Syrex: Oh, really? Yeah, if that’s what you’d prefer I’m all for it.

Gnai/Tho’Bi: Response
