Lt. JG Natasha Cole - That’s How Explosives Start

[Natasha Schell]

((Brew Continuum, Deck 3-USS Artemis))

 

Natasha was a little tired from staying up actually wrapping the gifts she picked up on Ferenginar. She was fairly certain everyone would appreciate what she chose, though she wasn’t sure on how to deliver them, but she had time to sort that out.

 

She entered into Brew Continuum and placed her order for her personal ‘Red Alert’ coffee, a black coffee with a touch of Vanilla and a splash of Cherry syrup. She’d been running on four hours of sleep and pure stubbornness, but the first inhale of the Red Alert blend hit her bloodstream like a promise.

 

Brexis: Hey! ::Pointing towards the woman:: I’m bored and you look like the kind of someone who knows how to have fun. 

 

Natasha blinked, glancing behind herself to check whether someone far more interesting was standing there. Nope. Just her.

 

Cole: ::eyebrow raised:: Can I help you?

 

Natasha took the seat directly across from this new person.

 

Brexis: Charlotte Brexis. Strategic Operations. ::Sipping her Espresso:: You are?

 

Natasha set her coffee down as she sat across from Charlotte. Sitting this close she got the sense this woman was likely someone burned hot and fast, the kind of officer who treated boredom like a personal insult.

 

Cole: ::setting her coffee down:: Natasha Cole, Security. And no … my reputation is only half true.

 

Brexis: ::Glancing around:: What do you say we find something to blow up?

 

Natasha looked around for a moment expecting to see Bancroft pop out, or maybe Samantha. She wasn’t sure if Charlotte was messing with her or not, but she liked her energy and wanted to see where this would lead.

 

Cole: ::a slow, amused smile:: Did someone warn you about me? ::lifts her cup::

 

Natasha subconsciously brushed her hair behind her ear

 

Brexis: Response

 

Natasha’s boot tapped once against the floor, barely a sound, but just enough to bleed off the spark of adrenaline she felt simmering.

 

Cole: If I say yes, are we talking actual demolitions or just something metaphorical? ::slight tilt of her head:: Because I’m good at both.

 

Brexis: Response

 

Cole: ::crooked half smile:: Show me what you have in mind, Charlotte. ::tilting her head slightly::

 

Brexis: Response
