(Mars Base - Red Sands Bar – Assistant Chief of Security Ensign Keung Lee - 1940)</span> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Good evening Counselor. Mr Hammons. Can I offer my congratulations on your forthcoming marriage. It’s an exciting step that you taking. As they say...may your future be a bright and happy one.” The assistant chief of security said with
a smile while raising his glass.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hammons grinned at him. "Thank you chief for the well wishes. It would be even more exciting if it wasn't a formal Betazoid affair." His face paled just a bit. "Humans aren't wired to run around in their birthday suits after the age of
five."<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Keung smiled. He had heard of the traditions of Betazoid weddings that the immediate family and the couple appeared in the nude!
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Wow! Naked at a Betazoid wedding. That’s quite a..er..culture shock” said Keung
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">"Oh yes, it's THAT type of Betazoid formal affair. It's a good thing Saarsgard ran the gut off me over the last year and a half." Then he chuckled in spite of himself.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Keung listened to the exchanges that was taking place about Hammon’s drunken escapades and Hercules wanting Hammond’s quarters! He was amused by the antics of Hammond and the counsellor, then he said
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">"Maybe Keung will take that shot with me. How about it sir? What's your poison? I'm a scotch man myself."<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Well, I don’t drink alcohol. I’m a coke man! Replied Keung. That probably sounded better in his head. “That’s coke cola..with lemon and ice!. However I quite happy to see you getting tanked!” <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Band started playing a song which Keung recognised ‘Drive’. Wow! Another classic by..Keung racked his memory..by the Cars. Now if I could remember the year...1994!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">"Whoo!" Keung heard Hammond "First dance of the night!" He took the counselor in hand taking her onto the dance floor and turned to Keung Lee. "I'll be right back after this dance."<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Keung turned to the bartender. “A coke with ice and lemon and..a scotch!”<o:p></o:p></p>
