SIM:Haase/Nothing Like Good Soup and Good Conversation
((USS Gorkon - Lt.JG. Haase's Personal Quarters))
::Adam rushed about, attempting to place all of his loose articles in the
correct places. His mother's voice continued to be present in his mind as
he did so, and thus he was constantly moving items around. His mother had
been a part time interior designer, as well as a diplomat on Betazed, and
he wanted his room to have that same glow that his mother had always
created for the rooms that she had decorated.
Adjusting a pillow, Adam sat down on his couch. This day had just been
exhausting. Starfleet had made a mix-up and had placed Adam on the Victory,
and then when it was decided that it would go in for a refit, they
reassigned him to the Gorkon. Adam had to get a anti-grav unit to move his
belongings once again, and when he finally did he was able to meet the
captain.
But now, Adam was practically settled. Everything seemed to be in its
correct spot - although the only way to be completely sure would be to call
his mother in Betazed, which Adam wouldn't do because he'd never get her
away from the communication console. As much as Adam loved his mother, he
preferred that their communication be long, but far apart.
Adam combed his fingers through his greasy brown hair, attempting to fix
the disorganized look that comes with changing quarters, but he knew that
he would need to get up and fix it if he really wanted it to look nice.
Slumping further into the couch, he closed his eyes - imagining what life
on a Sovereign class must be like. He hadn't been down to Engineering yet,
but he was dying to. According to the specs, it was gigantic, and he would
have a marvelous time getting used to the layout as well as the different
stations that he would operate.
Adam could still remember the vibrating warp core that he had left not more
than a month ago on the USS Atlantis. That ship had been his home for over
6 months, and it would be very hard to forget her, or her crew.
But the remembrance of vibration made Adam aware of a personal vibration in
his stomach. Yes - it must be. Adam was hungry.
Standing up and actually fixing his hair, Adam looked into the mirror and
smiled.::
Haase: Smiles, Adam. That's the only way people are going to learn to like
you. Remember to smile.
::With that, Adam exited his quarters and navigated himself to the Mess
Hall, where he whipped himself up a plate of grilled cheese and tomato soup
- a human recipe to be sure - but he enjoyed it just the same. He figured
that enjoying his food here was too boring. He'd spend enough time in the
Mess Hall to be sure. Instead, he diverted his course to the Observation
lounge - where there was sure to be an amazing view.
Upon entry, he noticed a young woman sitting and drinking a cup of, well,
something. Adam couldn't smell it and she wasn't giving off any impression
as to what it was, so Adam assumed that perhaps it was coffee or tea. He
slowly walked up behind her - not in an attempt to scare her, but in an
attempt to be polite and remain from interrupting her alone time.
As he sat down next to her, she was still unaware of his presence. Adam
decided that he should probably present himself.::
Haase: Hi.
Rosek: ::jumps and gasps:: Oh! I didn't hear you come in.
Haase: Oh, I'm sorry for startling you. I saw you when I came in, but I was
hoping that I could enjoy my lunch here.
::Adam silently hoped that she wouldn't want to be alone::
Haase: So, what are you doing?
Rosek: Just admiring the view.
Haase: I understand. ::taking a small spoonful of soup.:: I actually enjoy
eating in here more than in the Mess Hall. A lot less noise, and a much
better view, if you ask me.
Rosek: Response?
Haase: Yeah. I've just been assigned here - straight from the USS Atlantis.
They had me in limbo for a little while - unsure if they were placing me on
the Victory or not, but SFHQ finally made their decision. ::Smiles::
Rosek: Response?
Haase: Oh, really? I've always wondered what is was like being an
operations officer. I've never actually had the ship experience, but I
double majored in Engineering and Com/Ops. ::Adam took a bit from his
sandwhich, and swallowed before continuing:: So...what do you think about
the Gorkon? In my opinion, nice ship - weird name.
Rosek: Response?
Haase: I know, right? ::Adam laughed::
Rosek: Response?
Haase: I just hope that Engineering is as good as I hope it is. I've never
actually had the chance to study Quantum Slipstream Drive in action - so
this will be a first.
Rosek: Response?
