Mission: New Faces and Terror Beyond
Location: Captain's Quarters

First day over on his first mission and already it had been a very trying day. No surprise that the Klingons and Romulans were less enthusiastic about collaborating with others to resolve this issue no doubt feeling the situation was dealt with and want to move on. Ra had the science department filter through the information that was shared, he'd yet to hear back from them about it and would check up on it in the morning.

Ra sometimes grew frustrated by the inflexibility of some species, even when the rewards would prove to be of benefit. A loving note by his Wife, Elizebeth told him that she was out and would return later and he was glad she was getting out and about, meeting people and the ship they would call home, hopefully for some years yet.

Ra decided to indulge a little, after all when the cat is away the mouse will play. At least that was how Humans put it. From the cold storage unit in the Kitchen Ra reached deep to the back and pulled out a favorate delicacy, a dessert from his world. The cost however was Elizebeth also had taken a liking to this enjoyable delicacy.

He sat in his lounging chair comfortably and opened the dessert armed with a spoon in his right hand.

It was in the wee hours of the morning when Elizebeth returned to the quarters all smiled and a bit tipsy. But still coordinated to pass as if she was sober. She was a productive time with the civilians at the large gathering in the holodeck. She shared dances with a few of the men folks to show she still could cut the rug with best of them. She listened to their grumbles and whatnots of being aboard a spaceship in deep space. She learned a lot about the mated crew and how they felt through their spouses.

She smiled at seeing Ra asleep or in mediation with empty carton of desert on the side table.

She smiled at the thought, ~~holding out on me you dirty rat~~ She leaned down and kissed his forehead lightly as she passed by him to their bedroom. Leaving him alone in his chair and pool of light from the nearby lamp.

She kicked off her shoes and slid them to her side of the bed. She hummed softly one of the more lively and memorable Jazz tune that was played.

Ra smiled when he felt the kiss, he didn't mind the interruption to his meditation, she could never interrupt him. He opened his eyes, stood up and after clearing the empty container he walked into the Bedroom. "Enjoy your night my love?" He asked in his usual soft tone.

"These people are fantastic!" She sat at her vanity table, brushing out her long virgin snow white hair, looking at him via the reflection. "Seams that Civilians that serve aboard are not only spouses and dependents, but actually hold jobs of great important. One guy is an Engineering Propulsion Expert on Plasma conversion to Magnetic Warp Bubble. Another is a lab equipment technician in the Infirmary. Several Scientist of various fields of interest. Even school teachers."

"It is good to know the crew have come together in maintaining the ship, a family community." Ra spoke as he stood in the doorway to the bedroom watching his Wife brush her hair. "Would you like something to eat?" Ra offered thankful he'd kept the temperature down for comfort.

"I'm stuffed. There was food brought to the gathering in a potluck sort of way. Finger foods, drinks of all sorts," Elizebeth smiled widely, setting the brush down. She turned as her robe fell open, reviling a skimpy baby doll. She stood up and letting the robe fall to the chair.

"There is another dessert hidden at the back if you want it later." Ra thought she no doubt saw the container and had best offer the last before in some womanly way she made him pay for hiding them in the first place.

"Later. You need to get to bed. I've a feeling it's going to be a very long night and with an even longer day ahead." Elizebeth moved to hug her husband, giving him a saucy smile and a kiss on the lips.

"Yes. That I do." Ra replied after the kiss broke. She had a point though, tomorrow would be a very, very long and trying day once the investigation gets underway. He prepared for bed knowing he'd need all his strength and patience to see the task at hand through.
