Please read and review!
Thank you!
Chapter 3
"This is how ye lock yer door." Lieutenant Commander Scott showed Daeneria once again, "An' this is how ye un-lock it."
"Oh, is that so." Dae said, as if she was really paying attention this time. Then she looked up at him, "Why do I need to know this? You come by here every day when you get off duty. I can wait to get in there until then."
Scotty sighed, "Ye need t' know this, lass."
"Oh." Dae said, walking into her room, "Thanks. Bye!" She waved as she pushed the "close door" button. She looked about her small and dark room. She turned around and searched for the "open door" button and pushed it. She stuck her head out, "Hey, how do you turn on the lights?" She called down the hallway at Scotty, who was just about to turn the corner. He came back, turned them on and left.
"Thank you again!" She called after him. Flopping on the couch-like thing, she sighed. It wasn't her fault that she was technologically challenged. She just was. She had been ever since her father tried to teach her how to make coffee using the coffee pot.
*********************************************************************************
The next morning she awoke as someone came in her room and turned on her lights.
"Yo." She said, waving groggily as she sat up, "What's up?"
"You get to have another lesson in technology." Lieutenant Uhura said, "After we get you changed and ready for a new day."
*********************************************************************************
"So, what am I 'learning' today?" Dae asked, yawning. She finally had gotten it though to Uhura what she wanted to wear, and it wasn't a mini-skirt. She had flat-out refused to wear one of those skimpy uniforms that were worn by the female crew. She wanted to wear t-shirts, jeans, and a jacket. It took her nearly a half-hour to convince the woman of that.
"This is a communicator." Uhura said, holding out a black box.
"Looks like a walkie-talkie." Dae thought. Then she got distracted and didn't pay attention to the rest of the lesson.
*********************************************************************************
"Where is the lunchroom again?" Dae wondered as she walked down the hallway. There had been some emergency on the bridge, so Uhura had left Dae on her own. "The doctor person said that he was going to examine me again today. I can't go there if I can't find the lunchroom first. After all, food comes first."
She looked down at the black box that she was carrying. She had forgotten what it was for, but since it looked like a walkie-talkie, maybe it was something of that variety.
"Hello?" Dae asked, turning it on. At least she had remembered hoe to do that.
"Hello?" A thickly accented voice answered her.
"Who is this?" Dae asked, surprised that it actually worked.
"Commander Chekov. What are you doing with a communicator if you don't know what it does?" The voice answered.
"I'm looking for the lunchroom and then the medical department." Dae said, "How do I get there from here?'
"Where are you?" The voice asked.
"I dunno. I left my room and have been wandering around for a while. I haven't gone in an elevator yet, if that helps." Dae explained.
There was a pause on the other end. Daeneria shook it, to make sure that it was working, and then the voice came back.
"Stay where you are. Mr. Spock is on his way."
"Oh. Okay." Dae said and turned the communicator off. Like she was just going to stay there. Yeah right.
Dae ran down the hallway, searching for a good hiding spot. She would wait until Spock came, and then she would jump out and give that Vulcan the surprise of his life! She could hardly wait.
