Mission: Holographic Horrors
Location: Officers Mess
Timeline: Just after training with McBain

A smile was on Thex face as she stepped into the empty officer's mess. She was tired after a long shift working on reinforcing the interior bulkheads and doing some repairs to the one that had she had damaged in the last encounter. Her skintight engineering catsuit was stained with some burns and the buff around her head was stained with more liquid. Now the andorian wanted to get something to drink and eat and then go and get cleaned up. She walked over to the replicator and began to look through the menu.

French walked into the officers mess and headed straight for the replicator. There was an engineer in front of her making a choice. She listened and decide to have what she was having.

" Large nachos and chilli along with a large whiskey and coke." Thex asked after scrolling for a short time.

"Can you make that two of those please, I'm on a tight schedule." Said French

" Make it two." The andorian said as she turned her lieutenant commander's pips clearly visible. " Hello there I don;t believe we've met."

"Oh, sorry Cmdr. I meant no disrespect. I'm just in need of something to eat and drink. I'm Seregon French chief Security Officer, at your service." She said just as the two dishes were ready.

" You can leave the formalities alone French. We're all equal in the mess hall." Thex said as she handed the new crew her meal before talking her own. " So hows the girl treating you French?" She politely asked.

Assuming she was referring to the Hera."I'm learning my way around just fine. Getting used to the new Marine EVA suits is a small challenge but all in all I'd say, yeah. I'm doing all right." Said French

" Well if you need any of them altered just let me or my team know. Always willing to help." The andorian replied as she took a seat by the window.

"Cheers for that." And French took a swig of her drink. "Now that hit the spot." And she dug into her meal. After chewing a bit, she spoke. "How long you been on board?" Asked French

" Around a year or so. She's a good ship and even with the missions we've been tasked with dealing with I wound't want to be anywhere else." Thex replied politly.

"I'm getting that feeling from everyone I've come across so far. That's a good thing." and she stood up. "I'm going to get another drink, you want something?" asked Seregon

" Another one of these," Thex replied as she held up her bottle after downing the last of her drink.

After getting the two new drinks, French ambled bak over to where they sat. "After this, I think Im just going to go and take a nap. Its been a long day." she replied

" I'll be going back to my room and get myself cleaned up. Maybe see if a holodeck free and see if i can get in some dancing or swimming." Thex replied as she opened the bottle with the tables bottle opener.

"Now that sounds like fun. Or I have a couple Holo concerts that you might enjoy. Or even a ride on some vintage motorcycles?" aske French

" Sounds interesting. What concerts do you have?" Thex inquired.

"I'm a fan of an old crunier call Frank Sinatra. Twentieth century stuff. And I've got another with A Barry White. They called the King of the Baby makers cause he was so seductive in his songs!"

" Not heard off him though i'll take a listen. Don't know how poular it would be on andor we do have four sexes." The andorian replied with a grin.

Seregon’s eyes opened wide. She had heard rumours but never experienced anything like that.
“That’s interesting. You’ll have to tell me how that works. “ and she smiled

" Well in its simplest form it like this. There are two male sexes the Thaan and the Chan. Both of these provided the seaman to fertilise the shen egg which is then passed to the zhen where the embryo grows to term." Thex explained. " I know it sounds a rather dumb way of reproducing especially with the chromosomal problem and shrinking numbers."

“That’s very involved. Human reproduction is so simple. Man and woman. They have sex egg fertilised and bam you got a human. “ said French

" I know my species must have fallen out of the evolutionary tree to end up with this mess. I hope the federation medical corp can find some way of getting us out of this mess. My patch isn't going to help the species out very much. Especially with my dating skills being very low." Thex replied with a slight grin on her face.

"You, I haven't been on a date since I killed my last one!" And she began to laugh historically

" You what?" Thex replied feeling slightly shocked at the womans reply.

Still laughing, "It's a long story, but the short version is, I was under over on a mission to catch a sex slave outfit and I fell in love with the leader. One of my team got caught in the net we spread and he found out she was an agent and killed her. So when I went to arrest him, he resisted and I descentergrated his ass! And he deserved ever bit of it." Said Seregon and got ahold of herself. "Don't worry, the investigation cleared me." And she took a sip of her drink.

" Well, that's something. I was the tech side of an operation against the orions once. Didn't see much other than the time i had to sort out one of the new bugs. I had to learn a few of the dancing moves though i didn't need to use them." Thex replied remembering her own past.

"My guy wasn't Orion Syndicate. But he was Orion. Which is part of the reason I was in seclusion for two years. Fleet wanted to make sure there was no one after me. To that end they even let me have my own security detail. The guy who looked after me was called Alex. Very mysterious, I was told he was a bad ass. But if that's true, he kept it to himself. Nothing but nice nice nice around me, kinda like a brother to me to be honest!" Said French, her second drink taking hold quickly.

" And now you're here. Whatever happened to Alex? " Thex inquired polity.


"The last time we spoke, he was deciding where he wanted to be. We got our choice of duty stations after that mission. But I guess he's at the fleet. I know he was starting an investigation just before I left. Something about an Admirals wife. It's my hope that he comes here. But I drove him nuts worrying about me over the last two years. But you never know with him, he is a creature of habit." Said French hoping like hell he might opt to join her on the Hera.

" I'm sure you will. The universe has a very strange habit of bringing people back together. " Thex replied honestly having had that phenomena happen to her quite a few times.

"That would be something to look forward to actually." And she finished her meal.

" Well, only time will tell I guess. " Thex replied having finished her own food.

"I'll see you around ok? I got to get ready for my next meeting." Said French

" Take care." Thex said as french stood up and left the room.

French was thinking at that moment that this as a very nice officer she just met.
