<USS Avalon> Confirming the Meeting

Confirming the Meeting

By: Summer Khellian

 

   There was no sign of the sun and the air was slightly chilly. Summer 
adjusted her backpack slightly and started out on the trail that laid before 
her in the dark. Her only lights were the stars and she tried not to get lost 
on her way to the top of the trail.

 

    Once at the top, she found a flat rock to sit on and catch the sunrise. She 
sat hugging her knees to her chest, watching the sky change colors. She could 
see the fog lift slightly, but not enough to see the lake below. 

 

    Summer stood up. "Computer end program." In a few moments she was no longer 
looking out over Crater Lake enveloped in fog but the gray and yellow grid 
pattern of the holodeck. She retrieved the rod that contained her program. She 
was happy that she had acquired the new program on the space station. She left 
the holodeck and headed towards the turbo lift.

 

    Summer stepped out of the turbo lift. "Engineering Quarters." Turbo lift 
moved slowly and first but before she knew it the doors were opening to the 
corridor leading to her quarters. She stepped off the turbo lift and quickly 
made her way down the hall.

 

    She walked into her quarters and tossed her backpack onto a chair. She 
walked over to her desk and noticed a blinking icon. Summer leaned over her 
desk and opened the message from Dodge. 'Good evening Ensign Khellian. A 
meeting would be excellent, how?s thirteen hundred hours sound? I?ll be in 
engineering. Gratuitously and awaiting your reply--Ensign Thomas.'

 

   Summer closed the message. As she was walking into her bedroom she was 
muttering to herself on how to phrase a proper reply.

 

  "Good thing I never went into the Romulan Senate. I can barely send a 
professional message to my superior officer, let alone make speeches. Maybe 
this is why some people have speech writers." She said, lightly laughing to 
herself as she was changing into her uniform. 

 

   Summer walked out of her bedroom and looked down at the comm panel on her 
desk. "I am going to be late if I don't hurry." She looked up slightly 
"Computer record message. 'Ensign Thomas, I thank you so much for granting my 
request. I look forward to meeting you at thirteen hundred hours in 
engineering. Hann'yyo. Ensign Khellian.' Computer end message and send to 
Ensign Thomas."
   
    Just as Summer was stepping out of her doors she heard the computer reply 
but she didn't paid attention. She nodded to several people that she passed 
while walking to the turbo lift. Once the car doors opened she stepped in. 
Hardly waiting for the doors to close she announced her destination. "Main 
Engineering."
