[sb118-butler] Ensign Nadia Forsyth - Just Winging It As I Go.

[Robert Forsyth]

(( Just Outside Regina Docking Corridor, Deep Space 14 ))

The Tour was going well, and after seeing the wonders of the station’s Main Arboretum. Nadia and Nijal move to see the magnificent solar sails before heading back to the promenade for something to drink.  

N.Forsyth: They’re so pretty, especially the way the gold shines in the light. 

Nijal: They're one of the major draws of the station, for sure.

Bajorans certainly know how to build really beautiful architecture, as she remembered her brief visit to Bajor as a teen. The Skylink began heading back towards the inside of the station, to a long row of shops and cafes.  

N.Forsyth: Indeed, is that the promenade coming up? 

Nijal: Oh, yep, that's it.

They disembark from the skylink, and Zi leads Nadia towards one of the Cafes, which is somewhat similar to one from Earth, featuring tables outside and an old-timey aesthetic.   

Naida scanned the drink menu and zeroed in on the milkshake section, which featured an array of choices, including a Raktajino flavour. She selected a classic strawberry shake, handed her federation credits to the cashier, and returned to Zi with her order.

Nijal: Did one of them have what you wanted?

   

Nadia sat across from Zi, relaxing as she carefully took notes on the Zi drink. The liquid swirled faintly in the glass, catching the light in an odd, almost unnatural shade of green.

N.Forsyth: Oh, yes. :: Taking a sip. :: Strawberry milkshake is my favourite, and this tastes great. 

Nijal: Oh, good. (beat; a smile) And now I get to ask you more questions, too. 

Nadia nodded as it was clear the First Officer wanted to know more about her.  

N.Forsyth: Sure, what did you want to know?

Nijal: Actually, I want to know what you want. You're a helm officer now, and even though Regina is your first assignment, do you have any thoughts about what might be next? Or what you want after your first, second, third promotions...?

The young helmsman probably should have expected that question, as she did not have a clear answer for Zi. Nadia assumed she would just stick to flying and maybe see what other opportunities presented themselves, but for the moment, she was content with where she was.

N.Forsyth: Well, I haven’t really thought about that…

Nijal: Response

N.Forsyth: Guess, I’ll just see where the wind will take me.

Nijal: Response
