Commodore Kalianna Nicholotti - Nothing New...

[Marissa Jeffrey]

(( Elysium – Deck 6, USS Artemis ))

It had been far too long since the three of them had sat in an office together, and even longer since they had been able to relax in comfortable chairs. Kali relished the feeling of sinking into the seat next to Genkos, and she leaned into him when he put his arm around her. Looking across at the redheaded Fleet Captain, she grinned.

Nicholotti: What have I missed?

That incited a raised eyebrow in her direction.

MacKenzie: Oh, relief efforts on the Da’al homeworld after a meteor strike, another run in with CloQ… And an encounter with alternate versions of ourselves from another universe.

Kali remembered that one, and so did the Betazoid man next to her.

Adea: Hmm… yes, they’ve met.

Shooting an unamused look towards Addison, she nodded in agreement.

Nicholotti: Indeed we have.

Sips were had all around before more words spilled out between them.

MacKenzie: Speaking of, they ever catch that doppelganger of yours?

She felt the squeeze Genkos gave her shoulder as they both considered the last known location of the doppelganger. 

Adea: Not yet - he went to ground after his visit to Kalianna… ::he sighed:: There’s been no sign of him, so he’s either hiding somewhere outside the Federation, or I am having an amazing career on Starbase 80 without my knowledge.

With a raised eyebrow, she laughed.

Nicholotti: I dare say the universe is only big enough for one of you.

At least her universe...Addison rolled her eyes in a very Addison fashion.

MacKenzie: Having two of you running around the galaxy is tricky business. At least my murderous double went back to their universe.

Which sounded particularly troubling without all the background. Genkos shook his head in response while Kali made mental notes to look up the reports.

Adea: Only because you’re more devious in this universe, whereas I’m more devious in that one.

The smirk that played out on his face was one she'd seen often enough, particularly when the three of them were together. It truly felt like home.

MacKenzie: Response

Nicholotti: He's not wrong.

She looked over at her friend innocently.

Adea: What about with you, Kalianna, what’s new with you?

MacKenzie: Response

Kali laughed and shook her head since it was her turn apparently.

Nicholotti: New? Nothing much really It's the same universe trying the same things to kick my tail. Only this time it's aboard the Eagle instead of the Excal.

Only a short time had transpired since she'd taken command of the Eagle, but it seemed like a lot of things had happened. The move had been pretty sudden, as Denali's former CO had transferred back to civilian life pretty abruptly, but she'd managed to keep things within the description of 'controlled chaos'.

Adea/MacKenzie: Responses?

Nicholotti: I managed to get the Eagle stuck on land.

She shot them a grin and a daring look as if to challenge them to something more absurd.

Adea/MacKenzie: Responses?

Nicholotti: We found a zoo planet. Literally humans from every time period imaginable, all in their own 'exhibits'. Whoever set it up left a long time ago, and the barriers began to fail. That's when the SOS got out.

There was so much more to it, but that was the easiest rundown.

Adea/MacKenzie: Responses?
