May I Borrow A Cup of Sugar?

Posted on Thu Oct 29th, 2015 @ 12:55am by Lieutenant Daln Hadren & Lieutenant Dylan Santiago & Staff Warrant Officer Nexi

Mission: Where Angels Fear to Tread
Location: Intelligence Offices

Daln came by the security office to see if Nexi was ready to teach Hernandes a lesson. However, he also needed her superior's permission since she worked for the ship, too...

He walked into the intelligence offices, seeing people going about their business, their thoughts just white noise, but every now and then a thought would burst out above the noise at him. He looked for the tall Latino that ran this place and found him standing at his desk.

"Pleasant moning, Lt Santiago," Hadren said in the traditional Betazoid way.

"Is it?" Dylan turned to face Daln, "Weather's always the same out here." he added with a smirk before adding "And what brings you to our neck of the woods?"

Daln didn't react to the joke. He knew some humans had a bad sense of humor, but joking about weather? No, reacting would only encourage him. "I need to borrow Nexi for a while. I need her to teach a young ensign a lesson. Hernandes is feeling...ten feet tall and bulletproof...as you humans say." He grimaced. "So yeah, just need someone to knock her on her ass."

"She's over there." Dylan replied as he pointed, "But beware...she bites." he added, still not sure how to take the woman after their first meeting.

Daln smiled. "I know," he said. He moved over to where Nexi was, and said, "Hey, be ready at 1000. You ready to kick some Latina ass?"

"I'm ready," Nexi replied with a grin. "Just gotta finish listening to some comm chatter first," she added, tapping the earpiece in her ear to indicate she was listening to something now, then feigned a yawn; Starfleet comm channels were so boring... Now give her some Klingon or Cardassian frequencies to listen to and she could dig up more dirt in half an hour than a week of these Starfleet channels! "But I'll be done in time to teach your girl a lesson she won't soon forget."

Daln chuckled. "You should hear the gossip among the Houses of Betazed. Lots of interesting tidbits." He patted her on the shoulder. "I'll see you then." He headed towards the exit, but before he did, he stopped by Santiago. He'd heard that his cabin had a container of sugar, so he decided to ask for sugar to make his grandmother's uttaberry muffins. He stopped a few paces away and waited for the man to be free again.

"So did you manage to convince her to help?" Dylan asked as he signed off the computer terminal that he was working on and saw Daln standing there.

Daln nodded. "Yes, I did. However I wanted to ask a favor. I was looking for someone to trade with. I need a cup of sweetener, and I was hoping some muffins would be an acceptable payment for them. My father has this thing about whenever we get promoted, we make our grandmother's muffins."

"Muffins?" Dylan's eyes brightened, "Hell you can have everything that's in the cupboard for that." he grinned, "Luckily, Ethan is a great cook and keeps a stack of ingredients in our quarters. Why don't you drop by and take what you need? I'm sure he won't mind."

Daln grinned again. "I'll do that. Around 1830 hours?"

"Sounds good. I'll make sure Ethan is there to show you everything, I suck at cooking." He grinned.

Daln nodded. "I'll see you then." He left, to try to get his staff together and try to help train them, something he was never good at.
