PNPC Ensign Poagie- True, most people travel inside the shuttle but...

Poagie: ::through gritted teeth:: Fine. Computer, locate Lt. Vomek
Computer: Lt. Vomek is on the surface at the Harmony Shores Collaborative Resort.
Poagie: =/\= Ensign Poagie to Lt, Vomek. =/\=
Vomek: =/\= Vomek here. =/\=
Poagie: =/\= Uhh, Lieutenant, I need to ask you a favor. =/\=
Vomek: =/\= I don't have any more videos right now. =/\=
Poagie: =/\= No nothing like that. Can you pilot a shuttle for a few hours?
Vomek: =/\= I can pilot a shuttle for a few weeks. The question is where would you like me to take it. Kessler and Raga's ire is already up, I'd like to steer clear of it. Is this some kind of moving a "box" from point A to point B? An illegal "box" perhaps? =/\=
Poagie: =/\= Again, no, nothing illegal. =/\=
Vomek: =/\= Are you sure? I'm not interested in getting caught up in scheme. =/\=
Poagie: =/\= ::grunts in frustration:: I’m not lying. I just need you to tow something.
Vomek: =/\= Is what I'm towing illegal or restricted or contraband?
Poagie: =/\=You know what nev…=/\=
He was about to give up but saw his sister’s puppy dog pleading eyes look..
Poagie:::sighs:: Lieutenant, I’ll happily overlook the sarcasm and insults if you could…please…help me out.
Vomek: =/\= All right. I'll hold you to owing me a favor in the future. =/\=
Poagie: =/\= Great, I’ll explain the rest in Shuttlebay 1. =/\=
Gooba Jean bounced excitedly and kissed him on the cheek.
Gooba Jean: Thanks, big bro. This’ll be fun.
No matter how much she annoyed him, he loved to see her happy.
That fleeting thought was gone quickly, though, as he remembered the pointy-eared helm officer was Romulan and not an emotionless Vulcan.
oO Grubdung! Oo
((Shuttlebay 1, Deck 9, USS Ronin))
Poagie and Gooba Jean entered the shuttle bay and saw a uniformed Vomek standing next to one of the smaller Type 9 shuttlecraft, the Olmec. Vomek gave a wave as they approached.
Vomek: Will this be big enough?
Poagie: It’s not size, Lieutenant, it’s the performance and I think Olmec will do fine.
Poagie didn’t see Gooba Jean surpress a slight giggle and give Vomek a wink.
Vomek: Who's your friend Poagie?
She returned the smile he was giving her with a flirtatious wave.
Gooba Jean: Gooba Jean, pleased ta meet ya.
Poagie: ::through gritting teeth:: my…sis…ter.
Vomek: Simon Vomek. Pilot extraordinaire at your service. What's our destination?
Gooba Jean: None to far, sugar.
Poagie sighed and handed over a padd.
Poagie: There’s a slalom course about 3 light years away. ::points:: here. She ::feels a poke:: Uh, We… would like you to take …us there and then run the course a few times. :: another poke:: towing Gooba Jean…behind... outside....on …skis.
Vomek's eyes widened.
Vomek: You want to do what!?!
Gooba Jean: Well, like Po-Po had told ya, I like to do some skiing.
Poagie shrugged, resigning to his sister and stepped back. It was up to her to convince him. In many ways he hoped she’d fail…but he knew that Gooba Jean always seemed to get her way.
Vomek: Response
Gooba Jean leaned in and took hold of his arm.
Gooba Jean: C’mon, it’ll be fun.
She batted her eyelashes at him.
Vomek: Response
Gooba Jean: Po-Po said you’re a great pilot so I know I’ll be in good hands.
She leaned in closer giving his arm a playful squeeze.
Vomek: Response
Gooba Jean: Well, first off the equipment is high quality. Most durable tow rope there is and the skis have state of the art force field projectors :: turns back at Poagie:: not the knock off crap my brother used to try to pawn off on people. ::turns back to Vomek with a sly smile:: And secondly,, I’m very, very good. ::winks again::
Vomek: Response
She kissed the Romulan on the cheek and ran her finger down the bridge of his nose.
Gooba Jean: That’s the spirit, sugar.
Poagie rolled his eyes and entered the shuttle.
