“Gotta try find the time to keep it sharp just like anything else? Right
now this is more relaxing than a trip to the holodeck,” she nodded then
acknowledged the second part of what he had said as the coffee aroma
started to fill the room, “Musta been a shot if he made it on the academy,”



“He was. Seems like a long time ago now mind.” Alex sipped his coffee and
rested on the bay next door to Janice’s. Looking at the display showing her
scores, he continued. “You seem a decent shot, didn’t make it to the team?”
He paused, “That sounded condescending, wasn’t meant to be.”



“Never tried out for them sir,” she replied cast her mind back to being
asked to try out for the team by one of its junior members, “The
competitive scene never interested me in it I was content enough not having
the additional pressure of having to make those shots. It’s something
easier to do relaxed... or when you have that surge of adrenaline.  At
least that’s what I find works,”



“To each their own right?” He smiled warmly. “For myself that kind of thing
never bothered me, like I said, I can pass basic, but nothing more. You
coping okay? If there’s one thing that I’ve always found worse than the
crazy dangerous days that you’re not sure you’re going to be alive at the
end of the shift, it’s the hellish long routinely boring ones.”

Nodding, he gave a chuckle. “Yep. Sounds about right. How’s Ops ticking
over?”
