Lieutenant Udas - "Not enough" (TAGS: Avery)

[Josh Faust]

((Captain's Ready Room, Deck 1, USS Vigilant-A))

::The Andorian Chief Science Officer straightened in his seat and
turned back to face his colleagues as they filed into the room. One by
one, Udas checked them off in his head and was happy to see that, with
a few who he almost expected not to be in attendance, everyone had
survived the battle in mostly one piece.::

::Small discussions broke out around him, killing some time until the
Captain decided to bring the meeting to order. Udas smiled at T'Mihn
as she made her way in, hoping above hope, that her efforts in Sickbay
had been well received and her Vulcan blood had been able to assist
her Romulan cousins. His mind wandered back to Narenna, wondering if
she had made it off the station, but only for an instant before he was
interrupted::

::A voluptuous Terran female, with sandy brown/blonde hair, had made
her way over and was standing next to him. He recognized her as
Ensign Avery, one of the newly arrived officers - there were so many -
that he had yet to meet. It was just now that he realized how
stunning she was. Caught slightly off guard by the woman's presence,
Udas smiled broadly, but remaining seated, looking up at the Terran
beauty::

Avery: Lieutenant ... I just wanted to take a moment to actually
introduce myself. ::she smiled::

oO What a smile... Oo

::The Ensign continued::

Avery: I'm Ensign Lyanna Avery, new engineering officer. It's nice
to officially meet you.

::Udas was instantly smitten, a playful smile painted across his blue
face. He had, since his boyhood, been taken by beautiful woman of all
species. This Avery creature was stunning, but he would knew he
wouldn't have enough time to fully display his Andorian charm just
yet. That would have to wait for a drink at the Watchpost or back on
Deep Six during leave. He turned in his seat to face her fully.::

Udas: ::smiling:: Pleasure to meet you, Ensign. I'm Chief Science
Officer Udas. Please, have a seat.

::He put his hand on the back of the chair next to him and spun it for her.::

Avery: Response

Udas: ::leaning in and whispering to her:: I'm sorry we haven't
properly met yet. I don't know if you heard, but we had a little
problem with some Romulans.

Avery: Response

Udas: A phasing cloak or something another. Ask
Dueld...err..Lieutenant taJoot. He uncovered the whole thing while we
were on the station. ::he threw his hands up, in faux confusion::
You're lucky to have a good section Chief in the Lieutenant.

Avery: Response

::The Science Officer smiled at the Terran female. He glanced around
the Ready Room and noticed that the conversation was slowly tapering
off. It appeared as though the Captain was preparing himself to speak.
Udas had only served with Diego for six months, but he had started to
learn his mannerisms. The Andorian admired the Captain more than
anyone else onboard the ship. No matter how stunning Avery was, he
didn't want to be rude should the Captain begin to speak::

Udas: ::still leaning in:: Listen, Ensign, I'd love to hear more about
what happened on the bridge while I was away. What do you say to
dinner and drinks at the Watchpost after all this official business
stuff is over. ::he offered her a sly smile::

Avery: Response

::Udas nodded in response, smiling at the gold collared Ensign. It
appeared that the Captain was about to begin the meeting and his
romancing of pretty, young Ensigns would have to wait for later. The
Andorian sat up straight in his chair and folded his hands, resting
them upon the conference table::

oO Here we go. Oo
