Ensign Reine'X - Raktajino, otters, and everything in between

[Reine'X]

(( Brew Continuum Lounge, Deck 7, USS Valkyrie-A, Aelkuun orbit ))

 Reine’X had finally managed to change into off-duty clothes. She chose the typical Orion attire, worn mostly by pirates (a fact Reine’X was unaware of): loose khaki pants with large side pockets, a belt, and a tight khaki top that revealed as much as it covered- -just as Orions tended to wear. She paired it with tall dark-brown boots and small gloves that covered only her palms. Just in case...

She was now sitting at the coffee bar with a raktajino in hand when a Caitian interrupted her thoughts.


V’Nille: Hey, fancy seeing you here! Might I have a moment of your time?

Reine’X ::turning to V’Nille, now giving her full attention:: You have my attention.

V’Nille: Wonderful. ::spreads her paw-like hands wide:: Imagine: me, you, and maybe a couple others we rope into this go down to the surface of Aelkuun and play tourist.

The Caitian seemed excited. It was contagious. 

Reine'X: Hmm. ::Reine’X paused in thought, then smiled:: That sounds ::beat:: interesting. Are you trying to recruit me as your travel companion?::She smirked:: I'm Reine'X , by the way. 

Which she knew that V'Nille was aware of from her dossier. Same applied to Reine'X, who immediately recognized the Strategic Operations Officer.

Reine'X: Do you already have anything specific planned in mind?

V’Nille: Yeah! I talked with one of the contacts they gave us and it seems like there’s potential for some really neat stuff we can find there. They promised to have a tour guide available if we let them know we’re coming ahead of time. I’m thinking… one hour? I’ll go alone if I have to but company makes everything more pleasant..

Reine'X: Indeed. All right, count me in. ::Reine’X smiled, genuinely looking forward to the experience:: I’m ready now.

She had briefly read about Aelkuun after her shift in Sickbay ended. Apparently, the species that call themselves the K’tsélai are otter-like creatures. Whatever an “otter” is.

As for the weather, it seemed it would be quite warm and humid, conditions she was more than comfortable with, having lived her whole life on Qo’noS.


V’Nille: Response

Reine'X: And where shall we go first?

V’Nille: Response

Reine'X: Is anyone else coming with us?

V’Nille: Response

Reine’X looked around to see their next “victim” who would be coming down to the planet with them.

V’Nille: Response

Anyone: Response
