Star Trek: Eventide 777 - yututtu′s-coffee-shop

Lt. Cdr. Anastasia Chekova | TAC BOT 19-Feb-22 05:21 AM

A young girl with light brown hair ran through the coffee shop, being chased by none other than Anastasia. Now 40 years old, the Lieutenant Commander had adopted this five year old Romulan only a year ago. The circumstances on how she had been separated/abandoned by her parents were unclear, although Nasti always suspected trafficking. With that being said, she tried to give the kid the best life she possibly could. She thought she would have fun coming to the reunion, so she brought her along. “Aaaand gotcha!” She came up behind the girl, picking her up and holding her. It was probably inappropriate to be doing this here, but at least Anastasia had caught her.

Commander Hsarr M'ow | MED BOT 19-Feb-22 05:24 AM

Hsarr walked in, looking around before ordering a coffee and sitting down. They looked over at the Lieutenant Commander chasing the young Romulan girl, smiling. That reminded them; they needed to talk to their husband about adopting. It would be a lot easier if Starfleet would post them together.

Lt. Cdr. Anastasia Chekova | TAC BOT 19-Feb-22 05:27 AM

Anastasia looked over, noticing the Commander had entered. Well shit.. this definitely wasn’t a good look in front of a superior officer. “Oh, I’m really sorry. Sometimes we get a little carried away..” Anastasia confessed. She had gotten a lot better at socializing since her days here on the starbase. In 15 years, she had improved upon herself quite a bit.

Commander Hsarr M'ow | MED BOT 19-Feb-22 05:29 AM

"Oh, you're fine!" Hsarr smiled. "It's refreshing to see such a wholesome relationship," They admitted. "Plus, I'm off-duty, so I can't really do anything, can I?"

Lt. Cdr. Anastasia Chekova | TAC BOT 19-Feb-22 05:31 AM

“Yeah, guess you can’t in that case.” She replied. She planned on getting a coffee at some point, probably a latte, her favorite kind. Meanwhile, the little girl, Tavauna remained in Anastasia’s arms, seemingly anxious. She didn’t know this person, and as many kids are like with strangers, she wasn’t sure what to think of the situation.

Commander Hsarr M'ow | MED BOT 19-Feb-22 05:33 AM

They took a sip of their coffee. "What is this pretty lady's name?" They asked, turning their attention to the young girl.

Lt. Cdr. Anastasia Chekova | TAC BOT 19-Feb-22 05:36 AM

Tavauna turned towards Anastasia, likely for reassurance. “Go ahead..!” Anastasia whispered to her in Romulan. While she could speak in English, she was still pretty new to it, and sometimes it was easier for those two to communicate in Romulan, which Anastasia had started to learn after adopting her. “It’s Tavauna…” She told them. She was quite softspoken, her voice quiet.

Commander Hsarr M'ow | MED BOT 19-Feb-22 05:38 AM

"Very pretty," Hsarr smiled. They'd had plenty of experience with kids. "A pretty name for a pretty lady," They said in Romulan. They'd also had plenty of time aboard the Highlander to study languages, and they found patients found it comforting when the doctor knew their language.

Lt. Cdr. Anastasia Chekova | TAC BOT 19-Feb-22 05:42 AM

They were right about that one. Tavauna seemed to become much more comfortable quickly upon being spoken to in her native language. She smiled and even giggled a little, very happy about the occasion. “Thank you!” Upon her seeming more comfortable, Anastasia put her down and decided to take a seat. She too was happy to see Tavauna become comfortable with someone this quickly. “Wow.. that never happens-“ She said to the Commander, quite pleasantly surprised.

Commander Hsarr M'ow | MED BOT 19-Feb-22 05:43 AM

"I've been told I have...a way with children," They shrugged. "So, do you like the station so far?" They asked Tavauna, again in Romulan.

Lt. Cdr. Anastasia Chekova | TAC BOT 19-Feb-22 05:47 AM

“Seems to be so.” Anastasia commented. *Tavauna looked around a little bit. She hadn’t seen much of the station yet as the two had only just arrived, but so far really enjoyed it. She nodded, expressing this fondness. “I think it’s cool, it’s so big. My mommy told me there’s a movie theater and a pool and some stores too!” *Genuinely, she had never seen a place with this much stuffed packed into it before. It was unbelievable to her until she actually got here”

Commander Hsarr M'ow | MED BOT 19-Feb-22 05:49 AM

Hsarr chuckled. "There are, yes," They nodded. "And yes, it is very big. I used to work here, like your Mommy did," They told her. "I'm very happy to be back."

Lt. Cdr. Anastasia Chekova | TAC BOT 19-Feb-22 05:54 AM

“She didn’t even believe me when I told her about all this stuff.” Anastasia laughed, teasing Tavauna in a way. She wanted to try letting her see as much as possible, all while catching up with old friends too. It may be hard to balance both, but she was determined to try. That was one thing that didn’t change in fifteen years, her willpower, strong as ever. “How come you don’t work here anymore? You too mommy” Tavauna asked. She didn’t know much about the federation. While she was attending school on their home-ship, she still had a lot to learn. You could only learn so many things in a year. “Well, my skillset was always more suited for ships. You’ve heard some of those stories, even ones I wasn’t sure I wanted you to hear-“ Anastasia explained. Sometimes she would tell her stories from her shifts after coming back to their quarters, and sometimes she’d hear things about these shifts from others too.

Commander Hsarr M'ow | MED BOT 19-Feb-22 05:58 AM

"I don't work hear because Starfleet decided that I was such a good doctor that they wanted me on a ship instead, so that I could help when people got hurt on away missions," They explained calmly. "When I was here, I wasn't doing much work, but they decided I should do a little bit more." A little bit was an understatement. Logan just seemed to love nearly killing himself.

Lt. Cdr. Anastasia Chekova | TAC BOT 19-Feb-22 06:02 AM

“If you’re such a good doctor, you should come back with us! People get shot and stuff all the time, you’ll love it!” She exclaimed. This was unfortunately true, there were quite a few reckless ones aboard the Enigma, her mother being one of them.

Commander Hsarr M'ow | MED BOT 19-Feb-22 06:04 AM

Hsarr laughed. "I think your doctor is probably doing a pretty good job," They said. "Besides, I've got to help when my captain gets shot," They added. Logan really had nearly died last away mission, because damn it, that man had almost no self preservation skills.

Lt. Cdr. Anastasia Chekova | TAC BOT 19-Feb-22 06:08 AM

“Oh yeah, captains get shot all the time.” Anastasia added, it seemed to be a recurring thing with ship captains. Always getting themselves into deep shit. Being a senior officer who often worked closely with her own captain, she had seen it all too many times. “You do too” Tavauna retaliated, casuing Anastasia’s cheeks to go red for a second. Tavauna had definitely picked up on her mother’s bluntness, that’s for sure.

Commander Hsarr M'ow | MED BOT 19-Feb-22 06:09 AM

Hsarr found the young Romulan telling her mother off very amusing, and they laughed aloud. "That does tend to happen when you do what we do," They nodded knowingly. Starfleet was a dangerous career path.

Lt. Cdr. Anastasia Chekova | TAC BOT 19-Feb-22 06:13 AM

“Who’s counting, Tavauna?” As chief of security, she did get into a lot of unpleasant situations. Although Anastasia was an amazing fighter and only continued to get better, she wasn’t invincible. Sometimes it was unavoidable. “I am.” The girl answered, smiling. She quite literally did count. She thought keeping track of that was funny.

Commander Hsarr M'ow | MED BOT 19-Feb-22 06:14 AM

"Oh? And what is the current number?" They asked, propping their chin on one of their paws. 'This would be interesting,' they thought.

Ensign Anastasia Chekova | TAC BOT 19-Feb-22 06:25 AM

“17 this year. I don’t know about before that..” She stated. “And that’s just being shot.” She couldn’t help but laugh, although she got worried when this did happen, she found it to be entertaining afterwards, as did Anastasia. “I’m gonna be honest with you, I don’t think anyone in the world has or should try to count how many times that’s happened throughout my career.” Anastasia confessed, implying that the number was probably pretty high.

Commander Hsarr M'ow | MED BOT 19-Feb-22 06:27 AM

"That sounds a lot like Logan," Hsarr nodded. "He seems to think he's invincible, and I continue to reinforce that belief every time I fix him back up,"

Ensign Anastasia Chekova | TAC BOT 19-Feb-22 06:29 AM

“Security is insane.. I switched not long after being transferred from here because the Enigma needed more of us, and I guess I was qualified enough for them.” Anastasia explained. She has started off in Tactical, but upon her transfer she had moved to Security. Her fighting skills were amazing, so it didn’t take her long to gain a promotion in that division.

Commander Hsarr M'ow | MED BOT 19-Feb-22 06:32 AM

"I couldn't imagine switching divisions," They said, shaking their head. "There's not much else I'm good at," They admitted.

Lt. Cdr. Anastasia Chekova | TAC BOT 19-Feb-22 06:39 AM

“It wasn’t too bad, tactical and security are so similar that some ships even merge the two.” While her ship did not do this, it wasn’t unheard of for some to do so.

Commander Hsarr M'ow | MED BOT 19-Feb-22 06:41 AM

"I don't know if there is a division similar to medical," They said thoughtfully. "I think they merged security and tactical on Trailblazer, but that was a very small ship," They added.

Lt. Cdr. Anastasia Chekova | TAC BOT 19-Feb-22 06:44 AM

“Maybe science if you specialize in biology? I don’t know-“ She didn’t have much, if any experience outside of tactical and security, so she didn’t quite know the answer either. “Enigma doesn’t do that, they’re two separate things. Although both me and the Tactical chief are trained enough in the other’s job to take over for awhile if need be.”

Commander Hsarr M'ow | MED BOT 19-Feb-22 06:46 AM

"I actually think the situation is very similar on Highlander," Hsarr nodded. "The tactical and security chiefs should probably be the ones getting shot, though," They said. "And I don't mean that maliciously, I'm just now realizing that Logan has been in sickbay more times than any tactical or security officer has,"

Ensign Anastasia Chekova | TAC BOT 19-Feb-22 07:01 AM

“No, I agree. We should be. We did sign up for it, after all.” Anastasia hated getting shot just as much as the next guy, but she recognized the position she had and knew that taking on such a role would mean having this happen more often than lower ranking officers. Enemies did like to go after whoever was at the top, after all. “Half the time I’m just trying to keep it from being one of my officers. I know how we drop like flies, and I don’t want any of them thinking they’re just throwaways that are easily replaced.”

Commander Hsarr M'ow | MED BOT 19-Feb-22 02:30 PM

“I think that’s why Logan is always getting shot…he can’t stop throwing himself in front of the other crew members,” They shurgged. “I’m starting to think I should ask the CEO to make him some sort of chest armor,” They joked.

Lt. Cdr. Anastasia Chekova | TAC BOT 19-Feb-22 11:07 PM

“Might be a worthy investment!” She knew they were joking, but to be quite honest it might be worth their while. “A lot of em are so young.. we have a twenty year old ensign in my division. Started at the academy at 16. I can’t let him or anyone else die that young even if they do know what they signed up for.”

Commander Hsarr M'ow | MED BOT 19-Feb-22 11:31 PM

“Oh wow…that is young,” They blinked in surprise. “I might talk to my husband about making something like that,”
