LtCmdr Azura Ada - scones and sensibilities

[Azura Ada]

(( Main Shuttlebay, Deck 11, USS Valkyrie-A ))

Koyama: ::Sighing:: It's a long story. And it's getting out of hand. We might lose the project entirely if someone doesnt find a solution. I spent the entire leave back home working on it, but I didn't make a dent. ::The shuttlebay crew looked busy and Madeline gave her friends a questioning glance:: We should clear the deck. Do you two want to grab a coffee?

The poor young woman looked worn down. Azura had had leaves like that, too...

Is'Kah: I could make tea for both of you in my quarters, with fresh scones that I baked last night. If you want to go to Vahallah or somewhere else, that’s fine too.

Ada: I'm always a yes for tea. 

Koyama: Sounds great. ::she waved them both forward and slid the crushed PADD in her bag to fix later.:: Catch me up on the way?

Is'Kah: Sure thing.

Ada: Oh, nothing too eventful. Just regular mission stuff.

Is'Kah: Let’s see, what happened after you left. The Captain, Commander Sherlock, and I had dinner with a slimeball while Azura thought it would be fun to let micro debris through her space suit and leg.

Azura could feel Is'Kah's glare burning into her.

Koyama: Ahh. ::Turning to Ada:: Legs still there. You got better? 

Ada: I did. Debris punched clean through the sensor array I was deploying, my suit, and my leg. Then my suit again, and back out the--you get it. The local power has some interesting tech. More novel than advanced, I'd say. But it certainly had us scrambling for a bit. I'm sure they will again.

Is'Kah: They have a cloak that we could have used your help with. In the end, I turned our shields into a radar to detect the physical and detected the echoes.

Ada: And the cool new sensor we made got blown up before we could deploy it. Hence the leg. But it's neat tech, I want to keep pursuing it.

Koyama: Smart. Seems like things went well then.

Is'Kah: Also, they had some sort of thing to give us headaches and irritability. Azura can explain it more.

Koyama: Like a neural interference emitter or something?

Ada: A directed exotic radiation system. We ended up making a modified, shipwide Sheng emitter ::She pat the device on her shoulder:: to counteract it.

Koyama: Well, Seems like you all were busy. Glad the ship was fine without me though. ::she chuckles:: Not like one ensign being gone is a huge deal anyway. 

Ada: You'd be surprised, Maddie. Oh, and we got a new guy, from the mission. I think Arthur adopted him? Guy's name is Charn.

Is'Kah: Responses

They walked into the turbolift, and rode it up to deck 7.

Koyama: You'd think with a food court and a Spa I'd be on deck seven more often. Honestly I think the only time I'm here, aside from a coffee run, is to visit the arboretum or one of you two. 

Ada: It's a lively deck, maybe worth exploring more?

She didn't want to push the woman, but sometimes the key to connecting and feeling like you belonged was just going out and doing. It was hard, but it was true.

Is'Kah: Responses

Koyama: Didn't really get a chance to get to see all the ship before leaving I guess, combined with all the work I've been doing off duty. Going to take time to adjust to this new ship. Department still feels new too. ::She turned to Ada:: Not that you've not done a lot to make me feel welcome! I'm just rusty, spent too long in yellow I guess. 

Ada: Engineering sensibilities can only aid a scientist. You'll ask more informed questions, seek more practical answers. But enough about work, this is for fun!

Is'Kah/Koyama: Responses

Ada: Yes but tell me more about these scones, Is'Kah? Savory, sweet?

Is'Kah/Koyama: Responses

Ada: Mmm. I'll be the judge of that.
