DEEP SPACE NINE
The night before they shipped out towards the uncharted planet, Kira has Quark's stay open after hours so that everyone can get to know each other. Riker had one more surprise for the crew of DS9 and the Enterprise alike, Chief Miles O'Brien. Bashir and Dax both hug their long time friend. After a while the crews split up into groups, depending on their jobs and interests. At the largest table sat Picard, Giles, Riker, Kira, and Worf. Their conservation was on their mission.
PICARD-
"I don't mind telling you that with whole situation makes me uncomfortable."
GILES-
"I agree...I have asked for additional ships. It has always been one ship that helped us out, Admiral Snyder is up to something."
KIRA-
"But what?"
WORF-
"Captain, Admiral Snyder requests for the ships for the mission are all combat vessels."
RIKER-
"That's right. Enterprise, Defiant, and Titan are all battle ready starships. He didn't request a science vessel...even though the Grissom and Telsa were both ready to launch when we did."
GILES-
"Is their somebody we can call at Starfleet Command, to verify Snyder's orders."
PICARD-
"I'm doing that the first thing in the morning. I can contact Kathryn Janeway, she'll know if Snyder's up to something."
At the next table, the conservation was a lot more of a lighter tone. Troi, Dax, Tara, and Picard's counselar Winifred Brinkle were sitting at their table discussing matters of love. As it turns out, Winifred like to be called Fred.
TROI-
"So, how are you and Captain Picard getting along?"
FRED-
"Well...he doesn't talk much about his feelings. I guess he was pretty closed up person when you were assigned to him."
TROI (laughing)-
"Yes, at first...but he loosened up, and he will for you too. It takes time."
DAX-
"And it doesn't hurt to be half betazod, Deanna?"
TROI-
"Hey, that's not fair."
TARA-
"Tell me about it, I would love to have that ability."
TROI-
"Okay, I admit it was helpful."
DAX-
"By the way...sorry I couldn't get to Earth for the wedding."
TROI-
"Don't worry. Will asked me, I said yes, and before we knew it, Captain Picard was making a speech at our reception."
FRED-
"How long have you two known each other?"
TROI-
"Oh...let's see...almost twenty years."
TARA-
"He took his time to ask you didn't he."
The next table was the medical table. Crusher, Alyssa, Bashir, and Willow sat at this table.
WILLOW (to Bashir)-
"So, you and Dax have been with each other for a while?"
BASHIR-
"About three years now. I want everyone's professional opinion." He takes out a box with a ring in it.
ALYSSA-
"Oh, Julian...that's wonderful." Everyone was happy, except for Crusher, who looked worried.
CRUSHER-
"Julian, have you talked to Worf about this?"
BASHIR-
"I'm sure he'll be okay with it."
WILLOW-
"What's up?"
CRUSHER-
"Worf's deceased wife was the last Dax host before Enzri. I just want to make sure he has let go of Jadzia, and doesn't think that Enzri is her."
BASHIR-
"Don't worry...I'll talk to him the same."
ALYSSA-
"So, Willow...you with anyone."
WILLOW-
"Yep...Tara."
The others eyebrows went up. At the engineering table, LaForge, O'Brien, Xander, and Nog talked about ships.
LA FORGE-
"Come on...you didn't do that."
O'BRIEN-
"The hell I didn't...sir. I maxed out the shield imput by channeling the primary power through the warp core."
XANDER-
"What....those systems aren't even connected."
NOG-
"On other ships...yes. But the Defiant was specifically designed by Captain Sisko to fight the Borg. So, a lot of systems are different than other ships."
LA FORGE-
"So, Harris...how did you lose your eye?"
XANDER-
"How did you know?"
LA FORGE-
"I can see the thermal change from your face, and the bionic eye. Plus, we did have the same eye color." Xander laughed as he looked into the bright blue eyes of LaForge.
NOG-
"Chief O'Brien here is the only non-bionic person here. I lost my leg in the war."
O'BRIEN-
"Hey, I'm married with two kids....does that count?"
At the bar, Buffy and Faith sat together. Buffy was slipping her root beer, shaking her head at Faith, who was on her second glass of Romulan Ale. Her eyes were heavy and her speech was slurred.
FAITH-
"B....I don't want to do this anymore."
BUFFY-
"Come on...you say that everytime you drink that stuff. What would you like to do?"
FAITH (grinning)-
"Worf. I've never got bouncy with a Klingon before."
Jake was showing Dawn his latest work when another guy came over and sat down.
BOY-
"Hi...I'm Wesley Crusher."
DAWN-
"Hi...I'm Dawn Summers. Are you related to Dr. Crusher?"
WESLEY-
"She's my mother. And you are?"
JAKE-
"Jake Sisko."
WESLEY-
"Good to meet you, Jake."
DAWN-
"So, you're with Starfleet?"
WESLEY-
"Yeah, I'm on the Titan. So, have you ever seen the sunset over Rigel Four."
DAWN-
"No...."
WESLEY-
"Like to?"
DAWN-
"Sure....oh, talk to you later Jake." Wesley and Dawn got off into a holosuite, leaving Jake holding the computer pad in his hands.
