PO Una Qualunque - Lower Decks party

[KRN STDL]

((OOC if anybody want to join with a NPC from lower decks is welcome ))

((Secondary engineering storage room 002∆ , Deck 11, USS Octavia E. Butler))

The supplies Una had gathered would have cost her about two months' worth of credits at the replicator, given that she didn't have many credits as a PO. But she was pretty good at, let's say, shuffling the deck. So, she'd put in the request, categorizing that juicy and rich snack as an engineering department expense, and under the downloadable items as a staff event and meal. Which was more or less accurate, after all.

She was utterly fascinated by the 'pair', Loq and Yinn. Seeing them together in the same place was truly something special. They often moved in perfect synchronicity, almost mirroring each other in her eyes. Even when they were far apart, she had the impression they were dancing together, one step to the right, two to the left, and so on. A rather peculiar waltz... Or was it just her imagination?

Qualunque: What do you think? Yeah, maybe it's a bit little, but you never know. Just in case you're really hungry or not very hungry, who knows. There are plenty of bananas anyway...

((OOC List of foods))

Kovacs: ::offering a high five:: You’ve outdone yourself; it looks great!

Yinn: You'd think after that transporter mishap you'd be happy not to smell another bana for a while.

A small group of colleagues from the lower decks entered at that moment.

Lower Decker(s): Response

Kovacs: ::blushing a bit, and wiping it off:: Thanks. So any interesting developments since we last met up?

Yinn: I've been busy around the clock, between studying what happened to me [[indicating their other body]], visiting the Dyson ring, and my new lieutenant duties [[they gently brushed a hand across the new pip on their collar]]. Plus I have even more family members to keep in touch with. This is the first time in a few days I haven't been in two places at once.

Qualunque: I got a ribbon! Can you believe it? It's my first one ever. I've served on the USS Columbia and SB118 before, but nobody ever paid attention to me!
Una proudly displayed her blue innovation ribbon.

The other ones from the lower decks gathered around, their eyes wide with disbelief. A few even reached out to touch Una's ribbon, like they couldn't quite believe it was real.

Lower Decker(s): Response

Kovacs: I’ve been trying my hand in the arboretum in the ‘hobbyist garden’ but it seems that everything I touch doesn’t want to thrive — if you ever need a plant to die ::jerking his thumb toward himself:: I’m your guy… I’m just hoping it improves over time; I wouldn’t mind having some greenery in my quarters.

Yinn: That's why I specialized in quantum physics and not xenobiology. I can't keep anything alive. I was so bad at taking care of my pet gnillif as a kid, my younger siblings basically kidnapped him to keep him safe from me!

Una watched Loq as he detached himself from their group, approaching each individual with clear romantic intentions. She wondered if and which preferences would prevail in that mental pairin. Would Bolian or Klingon tastes win out, or would they be some strange mixture of both?

Qualunque: I rely on a holographic assistant with a green thumb to care for my beautiful begonias. Computers never make mistakes, or at least very rarely.

Kovacs/Loq-Yinn: Response

Qualunque: Yeah actually is a generic assistant, I can't afford the energy quota to have one of my own, but I've managed to personalize a generic one with my begonias data.

Kovacs/Loq-Yinn: Response

Una approached the makeshift buffet table and took a tuna sandwich and an ACE juice for herself. It wasn't exactly a Tequila sunrise, but it was the best her engineering replications work-around could offer.

Kovacs/Loq-Yinn: Response
