****** USS Chimera – A * NCO Mess Hall ‘Green Dragon’ ***** Although a little smaller than the officers mess hall the NCO club, to most the Green Dragon, was a hell of a lot more vibrant and exciting. Since Vadin Tan had arrived he had nothing but fun and he had been there for the best part of four hours, still he was not bored. There were only three replicators in the Green Dragon but that did not matter, behind the bar was a technician named…. well Vadin was not quite sure what the mans name was but he sure knew how to mix drinks with the best of them. He was sure that the Command team would have felt his talents would be best served on a Risian pleasure ship but it would have been a loss to everyone on the club most of whom were drinking as fast as Klingons. Not only was he Mixing drinks but the Technician was also dancing like a wild man and in his modified white dress uniform it created quite a starling effect. Aside form the drink mixer the best thing about the NCO club was the fact there were no officers aloud with a Non-Com with them. The one time Vadin did see a Lieutenant enter some of the ladies form Engineering were so intoxicated that they fought he was a striper and quite literally tore his clothes off. Being Trill and over one hundred and twenty years old Vadin fought he had seen everything but when he saw that he could not help laughing out aloud, so much so that he almost fell off his chair. Another one of the great features was that there were Holoemiters designed strictly for musical purposes, which meant that there was often a member of the crew playing some obscure musical instrument and high speed, Vadin saw this as an advantage as his last host had been an emphatically Musician, so when Vadin was given the chance to get up on stage he saw it as the perfect opportunity to impress the opposite sex. For the half an hour Vadin had been on stage, drinking in between each song, by now he was quite drunk. He was playing a Piano with support from Chief Petty Officer Varaan, who before tonight he had never meet before. The Chief although Vulcan was a monster on Bass and together they had been playing some outrages songs, had Vadin not known any better he would have swore that the chief was showing sings of emotion but that was not his main concern. What was his concern was a pretty young lady standing at the bar who had been glancing over to him ever since he and the chief had started playing, this his last song was also his best chance to impress. He deliberately played a fast paced old human song and deliberately got the barman to mix him the strongest drink he could. As he was half way through Vadin stood up kicked back the stool and pored the drink all over the piano before setting it alight with a shot from his hand phaser. The Piano lit up in a blaze of fire just how he had seen in an old holomovie, but he continued to play even though he could see the chief raise his eyebrow at him but continued playing, a hologram on fire possessed on fell threat to safety after all. After Vadin had finished playing the well named song ‘Great Balls of Fire’ he jumped off the stage and walked over to the young lady and proceeded to introduce himself. After only ten minutes talking he had found out that her name was Callia, her favourite colour was violet and she was in the Tactical department with a rating of Gunners Mate, her family had come from France and she enjoyed Holosimulations in her spare time. He had also told her a little about himself, how he found his way into Starfleet, his past experiences with other host, general getting to know each other stuff. After another few minutes Vadin was in the process of plucking up the courage to ask her back to his quarters. That was until he felt a firm hand on his shoulder… “Move aside spotty!” Said a large Marine as he pushed Vadin to one side and moved over to Creissant with a huge grin on his face. “Do you Mind! I was talking to him.” Said Creissant in a rude tone. The Marine PFC laughed, “you don’t want to be hanging around with him, he’s nothing but a clean up boy for the Doctors.” Said the Marine with a smile. This comment got a the attention of most of the mess hall, one voice spoke up, “Better watch yourself private! Those Doctors saved my live on the Gott.” It was the Voice of Chief Varaan. Someone else stepped forward, a Women Marine this time with threes stripes on her collor, “And one of the new Doctors was a former marine, the old ODA commander.” The Private was alittle taken back by this, he was new in the SSF and back in his unit he had been somewhat of a big fish, “Well whatever…. That may be the case but a Cardassian should never have been put in charge of a department, not unless we are invading Bajor, that is.” With that he let out a huge dirty laugh. Unfortunately for him on the Chimera there were Fourty One Bajorians. Ten of those were officers, the rest Enlisted. Out of those Thirty One Enlisted, Seven were in the club and not one of them had taken kindly to that comment. Within a second two of the Bajorians grabbed the drucken man and showed him the door… well to be accurate they threw him head first through the door into the corridor outside. Vadin and his new friend sniggered at the sight of the flying drunk. Before Vadin made his move, “say, would you like to come back to mine fore a…. mmmm…. Coffee?” The young lady smiled, “I have only just meet you, so I will have to decline. But If you are a gentleman I would not mind being escorted back to my quarters.” Vadin smiled, “That would be great.” They left the club and slowly walked to Callie’s quarters. During the walk Vadin asked another question, “I was planning to go to the Halloween tomorrow, how would you like to join me?” “Well that all depends on what your costume is.” She said playfully. “I Will be going as a Klingon, there is nothing more scary.” ******** End Log ******** Crewman Vadin Tan (NCP) Medical Yeoman USS Chimera - A <<Yes I changed his name.
