(USS Illuminar -0 Deck 1 - Bridge - 2/O&COps CMDR Dieter Gregory - 1415)
Gregory stood up as Agnes, Dr. Vanderstein came onto the bridge. He leaned on his cane as she sat down.
"Thank you for coming Aggie," he said informally. "I would have stopped down, but bridge duty calls, and with everyone getting ready for shore leaves, weddings and more, I'm trying to keep my head afloat."
He paused, "You painted a delightful picture of the Bahama's. I even went so far as to look up the resort you mentioned, and it is indeed as lovely as you made it out to be," he paused. "And I would love to accompany you there for some rest."
He chuckled, "It seems, however, I've had months of rest and I must sadly decline the invitation at this time. I'll be busy supervising the skeleton crew while we get some work done under the hood, so to speak. With your 1st officer and chief of security tying the knot, I'm about the only one not going to the wedding."
"I am terribly sorry to have to pull out, and hope you can still find some time to relax at that beautiful local."
