They were separated by the arrival of [[Rune Jolara]], who pulled Toryn aside to talk. Lael sought distance and found a corner of the room where she could hide. She was briefly confronted by [[Valin Dermont]] about her and Toryn before Rear Admiral [[Renos]] getting everyone's attention.

Following several very emotional moments where the crew honored the lives of those lost, Lael asked [[Toryn Raga|Toryn]] for a dance to celebrate his promotion and new department head role, an invitation that he reluctantly accepted. They talked while they danced and [[Toryn Raga|Toryn]] unexpectedly opened up to her about the mission that earned him the Purple Heart. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-atlantis/d6BkXQNKO7k/HSd9ADkIBAAJ| Honoring the Dead and Celebrating the Living], [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-atlantis/NIHjSwyCeos/y1n8r5amBAAJ| A Distraction While Dancing], [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-atlantis/Vh7BUjYLymA/1O2u-SREBQAJ| A Depth of Insight]</ref> But [[Toryn Raga|Toryn]] pulled back, leaving her there when things became to intimate. <ref>https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-atlantis/CQ5fydE7eaM/2xo2DALoDQAJ| Close, Too Close (Raga).]</ref> With no further reason to stay, she returned to her temporary quarters and began to make arrangements for her return to the ''Veritas'' the next day. | Following several very emotional moments where the crew honored the lives of those lost, Lael asked [[Toryn Raga|Toryn]] for a dance to celebrate his promotion and new department head role, an invitation that he reluctantly accepted.

After her return to the ''Veritas'', Lael went to see [[Chythar Skyfire|Chythar]] in hopes that he'd made progress on a way to slow the progress.

Unable to sleep, Lael nursed a mug of Ligonian Spiced Tea while going over the team list for her trip down to the planet tomorrow. [[Alex Blair|Alex]] approached and she tried to put on a smile to disguise her distraction. However, Alex saw right through her attempts and she confessed that the situation with [[Toryn Raga|Toryn]] was bothering her still. Again, she was told things she didn't necessarily want to hear, even though she realized that [[Alex Blair|Alex]]was right. Changing the topic, the two began discussing shoreleave plans and if either of them was planning to enjoy recreational time on the planet.

The next evening, Lael | The next evening, Lael forced herself to leave her quarters and at least pretend to be social. As she's ordering her drink from the bar in the Officer's Lounge, one of the new ensigns--[[German Galven]]--approached her and started making conversation. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/Wl_IU2zFEko/T8a8M2dsDAAJ| An Interesting Encounter]</ref> | ||
After a brief exchange and puns galore on [[German Galven|Galven]]'s part, he asked what Commander [[Mei'konda]] was drinking and offered to take him a refill. Once the Denobulan was out of earshot, Lael took a minute or two to process what had just happened between them. Another moment or two of conversation with Tobian and she joined the group that had surrounded [[Mei'konda]], introducing herself to new ensigns [[J'vreh]] and [[Lorian Lovar]].<ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/7aIrWmtvgEI/WoBbWQ3KEwAJ| I Only Tease People I Like {REPOST}]</ref> | |||
The group talked for a bit before Commander [[Mei'konda]] excused himself to go to bed and Lael was left with the new arrivals, carrying on the conversation a bit. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/kWuk0OwRuno/h51KlaADFQAJ| Begrudgingly Social...At Least At First]</ref> Soon after Lieutenant [[Carter Greyson]] and Doctor [[J'vreh]] excused themselves to go to bed, leaving her with the Vulcan scientist. She and [[Lorian Lovar|Lovar]] began talking about her Engineering project with [[Alex Blair|Alex]]. However, their conversation was interrupted by a comm from [[Anjar Thoran|Anjar]] asking for her help with an Engineering issue. Forced to cut her and [[Lorian Lovar|Lovar]]'s conversation short, the two agreed to discuss more details later and she left to help [[Anjar Thoran|Anjar]]. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/Iy-Eos4KQa0/zD1ZNyL4BAAJ| Promising Projects]</ref> | |||

Lael's holodeck time was interrupted by Lieutenant Commander [[Evan Delano]] to inform her that he needs to run maintenance and safety checks. At his request, she ends her program and Lael offers to lend him a hand. While they work, the two talk about how Lael is adjusting and she brings up strange dreams she's experiencing due to her psionic connection with Toryn Raga. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/hWodfm6JTpM/FwK5u5_UAAAJ| Interrupted Holodeck Time, Part 1]</ref> After hearing what she was experiencing, [[Evan Delano|Evan]] suggested meditation and even offered to teach her some of his techniques. She agreed and thus the two began sessions to help her get her emotions better under control. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/PCe5KspBOQA/KT7ZA85tDAAJ| Interrupted Holodeck Time, Part 2]</ref> | |||
====='''''Flirty Denobulan'''''===== | |||
Lael's holodeck time is interrupted by [[German Galven|Galven]]. His entrance distracts her and she's injured by the Romulan opponent she's fighting. He seems impressed by her skills. The two talk and then he replays the last few minutes of his Academy final. Following that, the two retired to the officer's lounge for a drink. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/jk2llq65QKg/ZLjSZTlNBAAJ| May I Have This Dance, Part I]</ref> | |||
They talked and Lael opened up about something she rarely discussed with anyone--her first mission as a Starfleet officer. As the conversation progressed, she got a distinct feeling like he was trying to impress her. Even after she subtly revealed the fact that she was engaged, [[German Galven|Galven]] asked her to dance. Despite her uncertainty, she agreed. She was enjoying the experience until she noticed people starting to whisper. Suddenly uncomfortable, she broke away and attempted to end the evening. [[German Galven|Galven]], not picking up the hint, propositioned her. After stammering a polite decline to his invitation, she turned and all but ran to her quarters. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/RAP6ro92hYU/5Swlx3b1AgAJ| May I Have This Dance, Part II]</ref> | |||
====='''''Celebrating Friends'''''===== | |||
Despite having missed the last mission and wanting nothing more than to stay in her quarters, Lael reluctantly dressed to attend the post-mission ceremony nonetheless. The possible announcement of [[Alex Blair|Alex]]'s transfer to the {{USS|Constitution-B}} to serve as first officer made her even more hesitant to go, but she was determined to support her friends. With [[Jonathan Cumar|Jon]] back on Earth, [[Anjar Thoran|Anjar]] had agreed to escort her so that she wouldn't feel so awkward and alone. | |||
Not long after her arrival in the Officer's Mess, Captain [[Roshanara Rahman|Rahman]] made the announcement she'd been dreading. It hit her harder than she'd expected and she had to lean on [[Anjar Thoran|Anjar]] for emotional support. At a loss for words while the others congratulated him, she could only think her congratulations. Despite the bittersweet news of Alex's impending departure, the announcement of [[Evan Delano|Evan]]'s promotion to Commander cheered her up a little. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/V7xOAVSgjDo/9rSUv4dMBQAJ| The Things I Do To Support My Friends, Part I]</ref> | |||
As awards were handed out, she got to enjoy a rare moment--[[Anjar Thoran|Anjar]] flustered as he received two awards he hadn't been expecting. When he rejoined her in the crowd, she didn't hesitate to rib him.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/-bf3X1lJk4s/s1PpXKNMBQAJ| The Things I Do To Support My Friends, Part II] & [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/DqxSAQj4wHA/hrczL8VMBQAJ| The Things I Do To Support My Friends, Part III]</ref> | |||
