Jackson set the fighter down in its original spot. He
powered down the systems. As he got out, he heard the
door slide open. It was a very comforting site to see
Serenity walk through the open doors. "Well, there's
a sight for sore eyes," he said.
Serenity chuckled as she walked in. "It's good to see
you too, Jackson." The two met in the middle of the
bay and hugged. "So, how's the new fighter?" she
asked.
"She a beauty. I just took her to the edge of the
system and back for a short test run." He started to
walk towards the door. "You know, I believe it's
almost time for the party. Shall we go?"
"Sure," she answered, and the two walked out the door
and down the corridor to the turbolift. "I haven't
met the Colonel yet, have you?" she asked.
"Yes. He's a very nice man. It should be interesting
working with him," Jackson answered. The turbolift
stopped and the two walked out. The door to ten
forward was just down the hall a bit. When they
arrived they walked in the door. Upon entering, they
saw that many had already arrived. One man was
sitting at the bar and talking to a young woman, who
walked away moments later. The two walked up to him.
"Good evening," said Serenity as they walked up.
"Hello" Ryen said, turning to greet the soldiers at
his side.
"I'm Serenity McDonald, Infantry Commander," she
continued.
"Ryen Sanchez, Chief Science Officer" he said
extending his hand. She shook his hand, followed by
Jackson, who smiled as he shook the man's hand.
"Jackson Porter, Wing Commander," stated Jackson.
"I'm glad to meet you" Ryen replied. I've only been
here briefly, but I couldn't be more impressed. She
certainly is quite an astonishing ship, isn't she?"
"Yes it is," replied Jackson. "I especially like my
new fighter. She's a real beauty. The quarters are
rather nice as well." He looked around the room.
"Looks like we've got a good crew on hand," he
finished.
"I certainly think so" he said. "Would any one like
another drink?"
"Now that you mention it," spoke Serenity," I could
use a drink." She signaled the bartender. "A scotch
sour, please," she said. "How about you, JP," she
said turning to Jackson.
"A frisco sour on the rocks, please," he said. The
bartender got their drinks. Jackson turned back
towards Ryen.
"I'm looking forward to meeting more of the crew. In
fact, this looks like an officer coming in right now"
Ryen said, motioning in the direction of the man
entering the room.
When Asad entered the reception hall, he saw a
somewhat familiar face although he didn't know the
name. Had he seen him on the bridge? Communications?
Security? Sciences? He was with an attractive young
woman. At first Asad, didn't want to intrude, but then
again, he thought he might just go over and say hello.
Ryen Sanchez, chief science officer, extended his
hand. Asad shook it warmly.
"Asad Qwillern, chief of OPS," he said, also
introducing himself to the young lady from
engineering. He also introduced himself to the majors,
Porter and McDonald.
"Scottish Sir?" he asked Major McDonald. "My family
lives in Scotland," he added.
While listening to the conversation, Asad realized he
hadn't ordered a drink, so he said quietly, "One White
Zenobian Dragon with a twist of slume."
Nonetheless, it attracted a little attention. "I
know," Asad explained. "It's a bit exotic, but I swear
it tastes like chocolate. I do believe I hear music.
Major McDonald, would you like to dance?"
Serenity, a bit surprised by the question, smiled.
"Sure," she answered, and the two walked out to the
middle of the room where a few others were dancing.
While the two went dancing, Jackson sat down at the
bar. "Bartender," he said, "may I have a glass of
water?"
"Sure," came a response. Just as he said that, a blue
light illuminated the room behind him. When he turned
to look, he saw a woman being transported into the
room.
Trinity materializes in the center of the party.
Everything thing goes silent. She looks around to see
most of the males eyes staring at her with their
mouths open. "Hello everybody. Continue with what you
where doing." She then walks over to a table and sits
down looking at the various people. Her opticular
implant hurt, but it wasn't that bad, she would be
fine or so she thought. She decided to wait until she
was talked to.
Jackson, somewhat surprised by the event, got his
water and walked over to the lady.
"Good evening, ma'am," he said.
<<Trinity>>
"Major Jackson Porter, Wing Commander," he answered.
The music played a new song. "Would you care to
dance?" he asked.
<<Trinity>>
Ryen watched as the two couples danced. He grabbed
Ali's hand and puller her up. "Dance with me" he said
to her, half a request and half and instruction. The
two ventured out to the middle of the dance floor near
their new friends. "We couldn't let you guys have all
the fun" he said.
<<Anyone...>>
