ILLUMINARRPG: (9 1800) Ensign Torek, Operations

[Tim Bushnell]

Mission: Soliloquy

Day: 9

Stardate: 2446.07.13



(USS Illuminar – Deck 2 – Officers Mess – Ensign Torek, Operations.- 1800)



Torek was still processing the idea of a sentient being being integrated
into the ship as he headed to the officer mess.  He was there to meet
Lieutenant Tavay who offered to give him a tour of the ship.



All in all, it had been a whirlwind of a day, and at this pace, he’d never
be bored.  Add to his standard work as an operations officer, he’d been
seconded to Lieutenant Bobh and tasked with finding a way to help Luma to
not feel pain.



He grabbed a juice from the replicator and sat down to wait. As he waited
patiently, he watched a group of officers in workers' overalls come into
the mess hall.  One of them peeled off from the others and headed to where
Torek was sitting.



Torek noticed the man was an ensign and the color band suggested he was
operations or engineering as well.  Before the Klingon could say anything,
the man pulled out a chair and swung his leg over it to sit down.



“Hi there, I’m James.  James Shaw, damage control officer.  I heard rumors
that we had a new officer joining operations, and he was a Klingon, so I’m
guessing you’re him.”  He waved to the people who came in with him.



Torek frowned. So much for a quiet time waiting. “Greetings James. James
Shaw,” he said.  “I am Torek, son of Korgath, of house K’Toh-maag,” he
replied.



“So a Klingon?” Shaw asked, stating the obvious.



“I am half-Klingon.  My mother was a human,” he replied.



“Cool. Hope you like it on the Illuminar. Do you want to come to the club
later, it’s called the Prancing Pony, and a casual place to meet other
crewmembers.”



“Thank you, Mr. Shaw, I am waiting for Lieutenant Tavay, who’s going to
show me around the ship.”



“Call me James, everyone does. Tavay’s great.  She was my roommate for a
while before she got herself a promotion and all. It was a mixup in
assignments and we made the best of it.”



Torek nodded, “Interesting. I am still settling in, so perhaps another
night,” he said as he watched the door open again.



(Reply Tavay, others)
