(( Solar Sail Observation Hall, Deep Space 14 ))
After his dance with the yeoman, Caras was glad to finally sit down and actually eat. Once again it had been a grueling leg day, then he had completed a shift on his feet. He was ready to sit and eat. Morro was interrupted as Lieutenant Josh Herrick, the chief of engineering, his boss stood up. Morro must have given him a look that said “please let me finish my kielbasa” because his response was in good humor.
Herrick: Please, continue digging in as the commander ordered (grinning) I just want to say that I’m so proud of this department and of all of you. We’ve been able to take this brand-new ship class in stride and serve with distinction given the talent that’s brought to the table every single day. (with emphasis) Thank you!.
Una: Well... Welcome! Yes welcome to everyone.
Caras: I’m very glad to be serving with all of you. With all the awards this table has gotten, it’s certain that we all make one another better here.
Caras was sure to not speak with his mouth full, but shoved in words in between bites.

Morro realized that they were winding up for a toast, and that he would have to put his food down. He looked at his drink not having any clue what it was. A bland pale yellow liquid. He looked over to the enlisted woman across the table. Una, he had seen her on shift. What was she drinking, why did it look so much better than his drink, a swirl of yellow and orange?
Herrick: Cheers!
Una: Cheers! :: Sipping her drink while the colours was mixing in her glass, amazing! ::
Caras: Cheers! To OEB’s engineering and ingenuity!

Morro drank the dry liquid. He finally remembered this one. Champagne. He didn’t hate it, but it wasn’t his favorite. He couldn’t remember where it was from either. Ensign Caras was happy to finally return to his seat.
Herrick: ::taking his seat, looking between Morro and Kimonzi:: So… we haven’t scared you off then?
Caras: If that first mission was your best shot at getting us to leave, you can be assured I’ll be staying awhile. This is my new home.
Caras was joking of course. He knew that none of the challenges he had faced on the last mission were Herrick’s fault… at least not directly. Though he took the time to realize that it was probably Herrick who had suggested what positions to place him on for the teams. Caras hadn’t considered that previously.
Kovacs/Lahl/Other Engineering NPCs: Response
As Caras looked up as the commander was sweeping by.
Promontory: I hope I’m not interrupting anything.
Herrick: Ah Commander, how timely. ::looking back to the table:: We were just musing about our next mission… Would it be too much to hope that the FNS S will ask us to go visit a resort world and provide reviews from a crew perspective?
Una : That's sounds good to me!!!
Caras: I always like looking at weather control devices. The varied ways cultures have created different atmospheric manipulation is always fascinating. Plus I've always wanted to try surfing.
Caras was once again joking of course. He had already tried surfing in the holodeck.. To mixed success.
Kovacs/Lahl/Promontory/Other Engineering NPCs: Response
Promontory: I don’t know about all that, but I can say this department is in fine shape. Congrats again.
Caras: ::hesitating for too long:: Wait commander about poker..:: trailing off, watching the commander go out of earshot:: ah it’s fine. ::returns to drink, to talk to the table:: I’ve just been thinking about holding regular poker nights. Would love to see If you all want in one night. Friendly competition between engineering. It gets lonely in those big quarters.
Caras was used to it, always being busy around him. He was a natural extrovert, and he had never had quarters of his own. He didn’t love it. It was so lonely at night. At the academy he was in cramped quarters with his roommate,and they were in a crowded hall where you could hear activities all through the night. He had enjoyed playing poker with Promontory and Lahl and wanted to get a regular game going with rotating chairs. Engineering would be his first place to ask.
