Mission:
Episode 5 - It Would Be Their Pleasure
Location: USS Pioneer
Timeline: MD009 1100 hrs
Larim was just walking "aimlessly" through the pioneer. And for several good reasons. One to keep vigilant. And the other to keep active.
On his walk he waved to all he knew. Which was most. Intrepids are small ships after all.
That was until he noticed a red shouldered Commander a little ways down the corridor.
"I should know a Commander on this ship" he said to himself. He called out. "Excuse me, Commander."
"You must be Lieutenant Myles, Chief of Security, pleasure to meet you." Said Quinn, as he reached out to shake Larim's hand. His demeanor was warm, and his smile was big and infectious.
"A pleasure, sir" Larim said, adding a smile of his own "Larim Myles, at your service"
"Pleasure is all mine, but I have feeling you did not stop me for a chit chat. You are probably asking yourself, who is this handsomely good looking man." Said Quinn, as he went on. "Commander Quinn Ó Flannagáin, Executive Officer of the USS Pioneer."
"Well, welcome to the ship!" Larim said. "How are you liking it so far?"
"The Pioneer, and her crew have been through a great ordeal, there are a few things that are done a little differently. But I will adjust, but overall, I like it here. It will be a great place to raise my daughter, with the help of my wife of course." Quinn said with his strong Irish accent.
Larim nodded. "Well. That's something we have in common." He chuckled. "We're both married. And I'm glad that you think so, nice place I mean."
"I noticed most of the married couples on this ship are stationed on Empok Nor, has it always been that way?" Asked Quinn, trying to get a little back story into this.
"It was a planned think between the captain, and his wife. She kinda runs engineering over there" he laughed. "Tyler got one Myles, Katherine got the other."
"Well Tyler has us all, maybe your lovely wife, would like a transfer. Or is she happy too being on the station?" Quinn did not understand how many people could place careers over family. We only had one life, and one partner to spend that life with.
"I'll.have to ask her. She is due to join.me on shore leave. Would you like to meet her?"
"Lets set up a double date, my wife would love to meet yours, and so would I." Said Quinn, waiting to see what Larim was going to say. So far, he was impressed with Larim.
"I'd like that a lot" Larim smiled.
"I'll see you later on, down on the planet. I will send the restaurants coordinates to you. See you tonight Lieutenant. And before I forget, when we are off duty, call me Quinn." He said, as he reached out and shook Larim's hand. And walked him towards the door.
