((USS Oumuamua – Near - Nesre Salo’s Quarters))

 

Jack’s summons to the bridge had certainly caught him off guard and he was walking at a faster pace than he normally would have been. Being called up by the Commodore and commanding officer of the Oumuamua to deliver a tactical report still brought up some nervousness in the young ensign but he was getting better at hiding it after the recent events the crew had gone through. Jack stepped around the corner and at his pace almost slammed right into Nesre Salo, one of the ships councilors and a friend.

 

Salo: Well hello.

 

Kessler: Sorry Nesre, I didn’t mean to run you over. I am just on my way to the bridge to meet with V’Airu.

 

Salo: Have you joined the crew of the Oumuamua?

 

Kessler: ::pausing:: Um ::beat:: No, the offer has not been made to me. At least not yet.

 

Nodding, Nesre motioned further down the corridor.  Doors lined the ones intermittently, so there was no way Jack could tell *which* specific one belonged to her.  

 

Salo: I’m just down there.  Have you gotten settled yet?  

 

Kessler: Kind of, I guess. And you, are you all settled in as well?

 

Jack felt like he was off kilter now. Something about Nesre had caught his the first time he met her and the feeling was just as strong now. Then he caught her eyes and the two met each others gaze for a brief moment but Jack felt such comfort in her eyes. He considered her a friend but did not really know her as well as he would like. Recent events on the Thor had also kept him from checking on her after she had been rescued. He felt bad about that but did not know how to approach the subject. He did not want to bring up the memories of what she must have gone through alone during that time.

 

Salo: Yes, all settled it.  I’m not trying to decide what to do next - I was thinking of where I’d like to visit on Earth.  

 

Kessler: I have this meeting with the Commodore but after that I was going to head down Earth as well. I’ve been interested in visiting an island called Bora Bora in the pacific ocean. I’d love some company if you want to join me?

 

Salo: Response
