<p class="MsoNormal">It was going to be a long night.<span

of
kissing him on the forehead.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Gregory
was
not into public displays of that nature.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>They had been on one date, sure it was a very good one, but
Gregory
liked playing the field.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">He watched as the science officer faded into the

<p class="MsoNormal">“Interesting,” Reolra said.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Complicated,” Gregory replied with a shrug. “But
enough of
that, where were we?” he asked.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Reolra handed an oyster to Gregory, “Keeping your
energy up
my dear Lieutenant.”</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The hairs on the back of his neck stood up.<span

Diane
Chamberlain, the manager of the O lounge and she was dressed to
kill.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> They had a brief fling before the
last mission. Amazing time, mind blowing even. He'd been so busy he'd
not been over to see her or relax in the Rec Room. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Reolra, nice to see you have a night off dear,”
she
said.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Then she looked at Dieter.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“Dieter, it’s been a while since I’ve
seen
you.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>I’d hoped our last meeting
had been
more… memorable.”</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dieter tried not to choke as he swallowed the
oyster.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Diane,” Reolra replied, “It is indeed.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Everyone seems to be going planetside,
Sam
seems to have it under control.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Diane,” Gregory got out as the oyster magically
seemed to stick
in his throat.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>He took a gulp of
his
drink forcing the mollusc down into his stomach.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“Diane,” he said again, “You are
looking quite
stunning tonight.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>How's
business?” he said, trying to play it casual.
