Star Trek: Eventide 777 - utility-corridor

Commander Nova Winters | SCIS BOT 19-Feb-22 01:42 AM

The lift glided to a halt and she stepped off.

Aella 5 | CIV BOT 20-Feb-22 05:13 AM

"It feels like it did 15 years ago,"Aella walked alongside Ughaz'udan with her arm around his, as if they were still a couple."Have you met any other Vorta? I'm you're favourite still, right?" @Lieutenant Ughaz’udan

Captain Ughaz'udan | CMD BOT 20-Feb-22 05:45 AM

"Favorite would be stretching it somewhat. You've treated me the nicest out of the others I have met however - so in a way, you are." He answered plainly while walking to the holodeck, which was thankfully only a few paces down the corridor.

Virana Taf | CIV. BOT 20-Feb-22 05:58 AM

Virana exited the turbolift and frowned when she saw the Vorta with the Jem'Hadar. "Hey, Honey." She said with a little more emphasized "honey" than she usually did. "I was wondering what you where you were, what are you doing?" She asked sweetly, her eyes flickering from the Vorta to her husband.

Aella 5 | CIV BOT 20-Feb-22 06:06 AM

As soon and she saw Virana, Aella stopped in her tracks. She smiled back and narrowed her eyes, not even trying to hide her intentions . She could do whatever she wanted for she was a Vorta and Ughaz'udan was a Jem'hadar. "Hello, we were just reminiscing. Can I help you?"

Virana Taf | CIV. BOT 20-Feb-22 06:15 AM

"Mm, mind if I join?" She asked with one of her most eye-blinding smiles. "I think it would be great fun, don't you? What do you think?" She turned to her husband with a look that said she better be welcome to join them.

Captain Ughaz'udan | CMD BOT 20-Feb-22 06:19 AM

"Of course. I don't mind at all." He answered. He'd learned that Virana could sometimes be as vicious as a Jem'hadar, which meant that the best course of action, most of the time, was to try and give her what she wanted - which wasn't to say that she was an unreasonable wife, mind! "Though I'm afraid you'll be settling for a holodeck outing in a rather poorly designed garden."

Aella 5 | CIV BOT 20-Feb-22 06:26 AM

" It's where Ughaz'udan took me for our first date, it was awful but i haven't been on a station in so long,"*Aella knew exactly what not to say and of course she said it. Even in the face of Ughaz'udan's wife she continued to cling to him. Honestly one would think she was asking for a fight. *

Virana Taf | CIV. BOT 20-Feb-22 06:30 AM

"Oh." She blinked m "A garden? That reminds me of our second date, actually. We went to the botanical gardens on the station here, lovely place. I took you there on a picnic, do you remember darling?" She smiled, nostalgically.

Captain Ughaz'udan | CMD BOT 20-Feb-22 06:34 AM

"I was far stupider then." He noted with a hint of amusement. "Far stupider and more ignorant." He stopped in front of the holodeck and began to scroll through the programs on file; one in particular caught his eye, which made his eyebrow lift. "They still have it." He muttered with amazement, loading the program up.

Aella 5 | CIV BOT 21-Feb-22 01:20 AM

After that disaster of a meetup, Aella was desperate to do something else to take her mind off things. As much as she tried to keep her poker face, she was walking erratically down the corridor. @Ensign Hopper Bierstadt

After that disaster of a meetup, Aella was desperate to do something else to take her mind off things. As much as she tried to keep her poker face, she was walking erratically down the corridor. @Ensign Hopper Bierstadt

@Aella 5 | CIV (@Vara'toran Aella 5) - jump Coming back to this place after so many years... it was exciting. Hopper had only arrived a few hours ago, fashionably late. She'd been held up by an accident on the Atlas just before leaving, and it had cost her nearly two days of travel time. The wilds of space were a long ways away from Starbase 777. The very first thing she'd done was taken a tour of engineering with one of the bored ensigns on duty. Not much had changed since she'd been an ensign in engineering. Now she was wandering through the halls sort of aimlessly. She glanced around before opening one of the wall panels and taking a look inside. Not that she didn't trust they were taking good care of the base, but she wanted to be sure. This was one of her homes, after all. A thick rubber glove and a screwdriver appeared from her bag. She pulled on the glove, looked around again, and reached into the panel. She gave a conduit an experimental knock with a screwdriver's handle. The tinny sound it made satisfied her, and she gave a relaxed smile. "They been treatin' ya good, ole girl..." She said, gently stroking the conduit.

Aella 5 | CIV BOT 21-Feb-22 03:02 AM

Aella was still trying to get her thoughts back together. She was a high ranking Dominion commander now, she couldn't let some feelings from the past get to her. * *Lost in her own thoughts, the Vorta was not looking where she was going and ended up crashing into someone who was-- "Hey! What are you--???"Aella looked up to see who she had crashed into and her mouth hung open when she realised.

Lieutenant Hopper Bierstadt | ENG BOT 21-Feb-22 03:08 AM

"That's an unusual question." Hop chuckled as she quickly closed the panel, hid her glove behind her back, and tried not to look suspicious, "I am a Hop! What are you?" She blew a few stray hairs out of her face and smiled up at her new friend, turning her wheelchair to face Aella.

Aella 5 | CIV BOT 21-Feb-22 03:13 AM

Hop, hop-- eerr, Aella held her head trying to process what just happened. She had seen this person before but-- "Ah, you're that human, the.. Engineer?"As a non-starfleet personnel, Aella often struggled to remember each of the jobs. Dominion was not nearly as complex, humans were truly a strange species."I'm Aella, umm, the Vorta, do you remember? I was the one who always pestered you about tech stuff."

Lieutenant Hopper Bierstadt | ENG BOT 21-Feb-22 03:28 AM

"Hmmmm..." Hop narrowed her eyes and looked good and hard at Aella. She knew who the gal was, but she drew her answer out for the fun of it. "I taught you how to do a double bypass on a binary grid, right?"

Aella 5 | CIV BOT 21-Feb-22 04:09 AM

With wide eyes Aella nodded as if she actually remembered what either of those things were. "U-Uhh yes! Umm the grid, the bypass-- I didn't think you would be here. What were you doing working in the middle of the corridor?"

Lieutenant Hopper Bierstadt | ENG BOT 21-Feb-22 04:51 AM

She smiled and gently put her hand on the wall again, petting it: "Heh... guess I'm caught. I just wanted to check up on her, ya know? Make sure they're keeping her right. She was our home for the longest time..." She explained softly, a far-away look on her face.

Aella 5 | CIV BOT 21-Feb-22 05:05 AM

She knew humans were sentimental but Hop's words made Aella raise an eyebrow."Checking up? Yes, I guess this place is still our home after so many years away,"Aella gave her a warm smile. "Well is everything in order? The station isn't going to explode or anything, right?"

Lieutenant Hopper Bierstadt | ENG BOT 23-Feb-22 04:36 AM

"As far as I can tell, they've been taking perfect care of the old girl." Hop said lovingly, "Though I can't promise there won't be any explosions. Knowing what we got up to as ensigns, I'll bet they current crew are having just as much fun." She chuckled. "Wanna go get something to eat? I hear the main event is on the Promenade."

Aella 5 | CIV BOT 23-Feb-22 04:54 AM

"Well then it's a good thing you're back," Aella chuckled. "Yea that sounds good, actually i want to sample more of those incredible textures, have you ever heard of spam?"*Aella's face lit up at the suggestion. She may not have any taste for things outside of Vorta food, but textures of earth foods fascinated her. *

Lieutenant Hopper Bierstadt | ENG BOT 23-Feb-22 07:07 AM

“You always did have a great sense of adventure!” Hop smiled as she rolled down the hall, “But spam has just about the blandest of imaginable textures!”

Aella 5 | CIV BOT 23-Feb-22 07:22 AM

"What? I heard it's amazing!"Aella was always baffled by how opinionated people could be over foods. Everything tasted the same to her so the idea of having food preferences was quite wild to her. She followed her friend down the hall towards the Promenade. "Okay but if not spam, what do you recommend?"

Lieutenant Hopper Bierstadt | ENG BOT 23-Feb-22 07:50 AM

"Come on! It's basically the broccoli of the meat world!" Hop laughed as she rolled out of the corridor and into the promenade, further down to the #iota-club-and-bar

Commander Nova Wynters | SCIS BOT 26-Feb-22 03:32 PM

She took a moment glancing at both ends of the corridor in a confused fashion. She pressed on a wall panel and pulled up the station map and smiled. Now antiquated with the surroundings she directed lead the way, semi embarrassed that she was already lost.

Captain Samantha Voxellus | SEC BOT 26-Feb-22 03:37 PM

Sam didn't take any note of it, she just simply followed around.

Commander Nova Wynters | SCIS BOT 26-Feb-22 03:41 PM

She tried to make small talk as they walked, acknowledging the stations crew as they greeted accordingly. Sam, was less conspicuous but Nova was not. "So, you do top secret stuff... and I know you can't talk that openly about it. But is it for Star Fleet, or for the UFP?"

Captain Samantha Voxellus | SEC BOT 26-Feb-22 03:49 PM

"Both." She simply answered, rather cheerfully too. "It really depends on the job I get assigned however." She said with a smile, giving a respectful nod to some officers that walked by.

Commander Nova Wynters | SCIS BOT 26-Feb-22 03:53 PM

She nodded and continued. "So, I take it your assignments would come straight from Headquarters then, and not a subordinate division?" She was really curious but didn't want to pry to hard into the Captains work, or get her in trouble.

Captain Samantha Voxellus | SEC BOT 26-Feb-22 04:26 PM

"That's correct. Though the who and why is usually blurred out." She said with a shrug, putting her hands behind her back as they walked.

Commander Nova Wynters | SCIS BOT 26-Feb-22 04:34 PM

"Trust me, sometimes, its better not to know the who and the why." Slowly they approached the club to the right and she politely directed Sam ahead.

Captain Samantha Voxellus | SEC BOT 26-Feb-22 04:47 PM

"Agreed." She chuckled softly before she gave a nod towards Nova. "Thank you." She smiled softly and went through the door and into the club.
