((Junior Officer’s Quarters, Deck 7, USS Valkyrie-A))
Strathmore: Well, I hope to make your stay here less… chaotic.
Hughes: And I will endeavor to do the same for you, starting with ‘no more impromptu room barbeques’.
Arthur laughed.
Strathmore: All’s well the ends well. To new friends.
Arthur held up his glass before taking another gulp of its carbonated contents.
Hughes: Now that you mention it, there is something I could use your help with.
There was a twinkle in Gideon’s eye and a large grin on his lips.
Strathmore: And what’s that?
Hughes: I could use a chaperone to show me around and introduce me to our fellow ensigns. Surely, since you’ve been around, you could show me where all the cool kids hang?
Arthur thought for a moment.
Strathmore: I really only know Vaysha and Zol, but I’m acquainted with Ensign Koyama, Reine’X less so. But, hey, this is a good excuse to get to know them more.
Hughes: Response
Arthur finished the rest of his drink and moved onto his burger. He took a hold of it.
Strathmore: We could all go to Valhalla. I could show you the kitchen and then we can meet up with the rest of the Ensigns in the actual lounge.
Hughes: Response
Arthur nodded and took a bite of his burger. He chewed for a moment and swallowed before answering.
Strathmore: Vaysha is who I am closest to. We both went to the Academy… twice and we both served on Denali Station together.
