Ensign Kimonzi Lahl - Continuing Conversation
Nick Wilcox
((Senior Officer’s Mess, Deck 2, U.S.S. Octavia E. Butler))
Lahl: And that’s about the basics for me.
Kimonzi turned to look at Caras, who had yet to share.
Avander turned, with the others, to face the (in many ways) greenest ensign.
Caras: ::swallowing:: Ah, I’m sorry, It’s just I haven’t eaten anything all day. Busy shift and all.
Kimonzi chuckled, knowing that feeling way more often than she cared to admit.
Caras: I’m Ensign Morro Caras. I’m an Orion ::looking down at himself:: and I joined StarFleet because they really helped me out and granted me asylum. They protected me and my sister from some people who wanted us dead. They did it all for free and they did it with great loss to themselves. I’m not sure If I joined to pay them back, or If I joined to make sure that there were more people like them in the galaxy.
The young Trill looked over at Commander Promontory, sharing a glance with him that said a lot, even without words.
Promontory: Well, (beat) we all come from somewhere!
Lahl: Oh yeah, there’s no one single way to be here.
She took another bit of food before smiling at Caras.
Nis: Response
Caras: Ah yes, I didn’t mean to make it sound so grave. I’m honestly very glad to be here and glad to have the vocation that I do have.
Promontory: We’re glad to have you. (looking around) All of you. I’ve read the mission reports and I’m very impressed with your first showing. Fine additions to the crew all around!
Lahl: Thank you sir.
Nis: Response
Caras: What about you Commander? Why did the Captain tell you she picked you as her first officer?
Kimonzi tilted her head at that question. It was a really good one.
Promontory: (nodding solemnly) I believe it was because of my great hair.
Lahl: How very droll Commander.
Nis: Response
Caras: Response
Promontory: So… anyone have any big plans for Port Coray or Deep Space 14? You got to enjoy your leave while you can.
Lahl: I’m sure my time on Port Coray will be uneventful. For Deep Space 14, I’m hoping to get some work in on Parrises Squares.
Nis/Caras: Response
Promontory: I took out the Gamma Flyer with Roger Hartmann—we just had to give this ring another buzz and see how it compared to Denali Station.
At that, the ensign took some more food, waiting for Commander Promontory to finish before she grabbed some of the cheeses.
Lahl: That sounds interesting.
Nis/Caras: Response
Lahl: At the very least, from my time on the ring, it seemed very advanced, and very, very, old.
::stopping herself from saying “old as balls”::
Promontory/Nis/Caras: Response
Lahl: What is your plan for Port Coray or DS14 Commander? Anything fun?
Promontory/Nis/Caras: Response
Lahl: I see, makes sense. New question for the group, what is everyone’s family situations? If you’re willing to share. I have one brother.
Promontory/Nis/Caras: Response
