Part 4
As Christine came out she nocked into her pacing husband.
"Goodness, Chris what took you so long?" asked Scott
"I was just talking to him about Data."
"Why?"
"Because unlike some people I am concerned about him"
"I care about Data, I just don't think we should be butting in. If Data wants help he would ask."
"Fine", she sighed,"Do you mind if we eat in ten-forward, since I have a session at 1430 hours and only a half-hour for lunch."
"That's fine. So, what do you think of Kirk?",he asked
"Well, he is as charming as James Kirk, but I don't think he has the same intensity I read about Admiral Kirk had. All in all he seems pretty easy going."
"So, do you think he'll make a good-pool player?", he asked
"Maybe."
They entered 10forward where the host of 10forward was Vic Fontaine former owner of Quark's. After Quark left to help his brother for a heft profit of course. Vic had decide it was time to see the stars, so when the Enterprise-Neo was commissioned under Capt. Selk he a said a sweet adui to DS9.
"Hey, Vic, What looks good today?"
"Well, your beautiful wife for starters."
"Only you could get away with that Vic, so what is there to eat?"
"We have some dishes from the Caribbean Islands of Earth. It's very spicy."
"Thanks Vic."
They got their trays and went over to join Tvok and Lina at the table.
"Hello, Where's David? I thought he was going to join us?" asked Chris
"He came in and inhaled his food. He wanted to start making modifications to use sonar to analyze the anomaly, said Lina Chris rolled her eyes.
"So, Chris you think Adam is cute?"
"Hey, Lina she's married and her husband is right here." Said Scott
"So, do you Chirs?" she asked again ignoring Scott, while Tvok eyes twinkled.
"Well, if I wasn't married I would have to say he is definitely worth some good long looks."
"If this conversation continues on this topic I believe Scott and I shall leave.",said Tvok moving to leave.
"Keep your sit, we'll talk about the mission, "said Lina as she made a move to keep him in his sit, "Do you think it is going to be a dangerous mission?"
"Lina, we aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise and we're going to be investigating a mysterious anomaly, if we make it without destroying the ship it will be a good mission." said Scott.
"I get it weird is what we do." said Lina
"Truer words were nerve spoken," said Tvok
"Tvok do you have holos from T'Par's bonding?",asked Christina
"Yes,"
"Did you dance with anyone Tvok?" asked Lina, it Scott's turn to be amused at Tvok's expense.
"I was asked, but kindly declined." Tvok "Your no fun, Tvok." said Lina "So, I've been told," replied Tuok
Over the comm., "Lt.Janeway please report to stellar cartography."
"It looks like David's need some help, have fun." Said Scott
"Working with David is rarely ever fun," said Tuok
The others laughed.
"I have to go. I'll see you later "said Chris as she kissed Scott.
"So, Lina you plan on making a move on Kirk?" he asked teasingly
"What! Just because I think the guy is cute, doesn't mean I am going to make a move on him."
"Calm, down Lina, I am just teasing."
"Sorry, I am just little nervous about piloting through the anomaly."
"I have every confidence in you and if anyone can get us out safely it is you." said Scott assumingly.
"Thanks Scott," she said choked with emotion.
"Look there goes Kirk with Lt.Wildman." Scott turned towards the doorway. "She must be giving him the tour of the ship."
Lina rolled her eyes. "Oh, look here they come.", said Lina
"Lt.Paris, Scott, I was just showing Lt.Commander Kirk, around.",said Lt. Wildman
Lina, nodded while Scott said "Hi, Corina."
Kirk could feel the tension as Lt.Wildman greeted Lt.Paris.
"Would you like to join us?" asked Scott.
Kirk didn't bother to glance at Lt.Wildman, he wanted and need to get to knew the senior staff he was working with better.
"Sure", said Kirk, "You don't have to stay Lt.Wildman, if you have other matter things to do."
"Okay, sir, I'll see after lunch." said Lt.Wildman
Kirk took the seat across from Scott.
"So, Kirk, do you know how to play pool?"
"Pool?"
"Yeah, pool, billiards." he said gesturing with his hands.
"No, I don't, but I would be willing to learn."
"That's the spirit. I need to give security a check over before we enter the world of strange." Scott said as he winked a Lina, "Take care Kirk."
Kirk nodded, while Lina glowered at Scott, but quickly stop at Kirk's curious look.
"What do you think of the Enterprise so far?"
"She's an amazing ship, very top of the line. I am going to defintenly enjoy taking care of her."
"Is this your first starship?" she asked
"No, I served two years aboard the U.S.S. Titan, which was posted in the Delta Quadrant. Then I decide to get some real experience serving on Starbase 43."
"Real experience?" asked Lina
"On the U.S.S. Titan the work was pretty routine, but on the Starbase we had to be a lot more creative, since we didn't have the same resources as the starship, and seemed that there was always a problem. It was very hard work, but I enjoyed the learning experience. I was able to see how interconnected operations and engineering is.
"It sounds like you have the right mindset to be the Chief of Engineer."
"Thank you Chief Helmswoman," he said charmingly
There was a comfortable silence as each gathered there thoughts.
"How much time do I have to learn to play pool before the next game?"
"There's no real schedule. Scott sends a message that day or the day before. We probably won't get a chance until after we go through the anomaly.
"That's good, I'll have time to learn. Scott is Commander Kim?", he asked.
"Yeah, he doesn't like to be called Montgomery, so he goes by Scott." When do you go on duty?"
"It wasn't supposed to be until tomorrow, but with us approaching the anomaly, so soon I plan on going back after I finish eat."
"Unfortunately, lunch time is over. It was nice meting you," she said to Kirk, as she stuck her hand out.
"Same here and please call me Adam." He said as he shook her hand.
As Christine came out she nocked into her pacing husband.
"Goodness, Chris what took you so long?" asked Scott
