Charles had just finished his shift and was proceeding to Miranda's he was gonna meet Melissa and he was very eager to see her. He entered the place and salute the bartender and saw her sitting in a corner so he proceded to the place where she was while he said "Hi honey how's everithing?"
=Miranda's=
Melissa turned at the sound of his voice "Hi Love, Good...", she gave him a kiss and made a sign to him to sit down. They sat down and ordered some drinks while they started to chat about their day.
Suddenly a young male aproched to them and since he was wearing a starfleet uniform and saluted him he said
"Hello Ensign I'm Lt Jg Atwood, What can i do for you?", He asked with a smile
Ensign Jeff Westfall, Tactical Officer, USS Zion, Sir, and it's a pleasure to meet you.
"Thanks Ensign...May I Introduce Ensign Melissa Jarvis my fiancee", he said while he pointed at her
"It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Ma'am. Welcome aboard the U.S.S. Zion
"Hello...I'm Mellisa would you care to join us for a coffe?", she asked
I'd love to, actually. I'm sure I could call a cup of coffee with two fellow officers, "Departmental Relations".
Charles Started to Laugh and Showed Ens Westfall the Chair In front of them while he said "Nice one Jeff...Mind if i call You by your First Name?"
"Certainly, Lt. Atwood, I have no problem with that at all...you are a superior officer, as well. But I believe (with no disrespect) that constant acknowledgment of rank can "get in the way" if we're all so busy tripping over each other's titles, Sir".
"I Concurr... By the way it's Charles when we are of dutie and loose the sir thing if you dont mind...Inside Miranda's we are just friends having a meal, Out there we are in starfleet", he said smiling
"Understood Charles, How did you come to be aboard the Zion, if you don't mind my asking?", Said Jeff
"Not at All...Well one day I was serving on Qul Tuq as Chief Engineer and The CO and Some crew where killed in an accident and Melissa here was seriously injured, so when she woke up we discussed and We requested a transfer to the Zion and Here we are" answered Charles while he holded Mellisa's hand
"I'm sorry to hear about that. I trust you're okay now Ma'am?", Jeff said to Mellisa.
"Mellissa If you don't mind...Yes I'm Fine Thanks to Charles that Helped me in recovering my sanity", said Mellisa
"I'm glad to hear that Mellissa, we can all use close friends to keep our sanity out here, otherwise it would be a very lonely and dangerous place.", Said Jeff
"Indeed It will...And you how did you get here?", asked Charles
"I joined Starfleet at 23 as a Cadet, and took advanced tactical training at the Academy, because of all the positions in Starfleet, I figured they could best make use of my penchant for solving puzzles, mathematical, logical and psychological", said Jeff.
"mmmthat sounds like Intelligence Work to me" Added Charles.
"It is to a degree, but it's also a "transferrable skill, to anticipate what an opponent is going to do, and why", Answered Jeff "I think the other aspect is to understand how your department works Anyway, I graduated from Starfleet, and then found myself as crewman on a couple of ships doing "joe jobs"...paying my dues, as it were"
Then all the crap happened with the demise of Starfleet (as it was Chartered by the United Federation of Planets). My Captain at the time didn't like it, so the Senior Staff brought the ship U.S.S Triton , into the Maquis Alliance. I was aboard when the ship was attacked, the Tactical Officer was injured, so I got seconded to Tactical From there I wound up at Station Qul Tuq and was asked to serve with Captain Hunter I accepted, he's a fine officer.", Finished Jeff
"Mmm...Interesting story, and of course Captain Hunter's Reputation proceeds him", said Charles
"Do you Have Brothers or Sisters Jeff?", Asked Melissa "No, Just myself, I was born on the Lunar Colony Io, one of the moons of Jupiter, in the Sol System. There's just me, and my parents of course", Stated Jeff
"Oh...My Parents where killed by the cardassians ride when I was 15", Said Charles
"Mmm that's sad, My father was an astrophysicist, my mother was a Library Sciences Specialist at the institute for Deep Space Research I first set foot on Earth when I went to Starfleet Academy, I was 23 when I went in , and 28 when I finished Advanced Tactical From there, I served in Starfleet until the Rebellion, and the ship I was on "defected" to the Maquis Alliance, and I found myself at Qul Tuq, waiting for a new posting.The request came from command, and I accepted", Concluded Jeff.
"Oh...That's Nice", Said Charles. Suddenly Charles Commbadge sounded and Someone requested his Presence in Intelligence office so he said "Well Jeff It was nice to meet you and I hope we can do this aggain some other day"
"You're on for a raincheck, Charles, it was nice to meet you Melissa", Said Jeff
Melissa and Charles stood up and Left
Jeff finished his coffee, and returned to his quarters.
