========= Starbase Bragg, Bar ========= Ra’nar walked back to his table from the bar, past noisy officers in yellow on their collar, over a drunken Bolian lieutenant who had passed out. When Ra’nar got back to his table he was amazed that he had not spilt any of the drinks over him self. As he sat back down Ra’nar downed half of his blue Andorian Ale. Ra’nar looked at walker in amazement, “So let me get this right.” Walker nodded as Ra’nar continued, “The Executive officer is engaged to the Chief Medical officer and the counsellor is having… ‘relations’ with the General?” Walker laughed and nodded. Ra’nar finished off his drink, “I got to get a commission, it seems that officers have more fun. In fact does anybody on chimera do any fighting?” Again walker laughed, “no we don’t.” Suddenly a smile lit up across Walkers face, “Hay, you know what the F in SSF stands for don’t you?.” Ra’nar shook his head from side to side, “I don’t want to know.” Ra’nar looked across the room to an object sitting in the corner covered in dust. “What’s that?” asked Ra’nar. Walker shrugged his shoulders before peering over to the adjacent table were there was a beautiful young female Orian, of course it was only a matter of seconds before he returned with a bruised face from a slap which echoed throughout the bar. Ra’nar did his best to contain his laughter before getting up and moving over to the contraption in the corner of the room. The object was around 3tf high and 1ft wide. As Ra’nar wiped the dust of the front the images could be made out to be 20th century automobiles and compact disks from the same era. Above the object was a set of four holo-emiters wired-up, rather crudely, to the back of the contraption. Ra’nar recalled his social studies, “A jukebox.” Ra’nar tapped the buttons on the front of the jukebox, within a second the jukebox came alive with lights. Ra’nar pressed another button, suddenly the holo-emiters licked in and in front of Ra’nar stood a human male a shape under 6tf wearing an all white suit. Ra’nar took a step back to watch the hologram do a strange wiggle before bursting out singing in a very powerful voice. “Weeeell, it’s a one for the money, a two for the show, a three to get ready, let’s go cat go.” ======= 20 minutes later ======== By now the bar was erupting with sound of people singing along, there was around fifteen people including Ra’nar and Walker all huddled around the holo-graphical band and jukebox barely dressed in uniform blazing their lungs out. “LETS ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK TONIGHT!” The atmosphere was truly an electric one. That was until a group of Bragg Engineers walked in and pulled the plug on the music. Ra’nar and Walker steeped forward, “what the blazes are you doing?” said Walker in his firmest voice. The officer looked at Ra’nar and Walker with a smile on their faces, the lead man spoke up, “I am Lieutenant Dickens, Chief Engineering Assistant, Starbase Bragg.” The lieutenant looked very pleased with himself after stating his, Ra’nar stepped forward, “Well Assistant Lieutenant Engineer Dick. I am medical specialist ODA on the Chimera. I what the music back on.” The Engineers looked at each other, “Chimera, if there was ever a more useless ship.” Walker lunged forward but Ra’nar grabbed him before he could hit the engineer. “No, not like this.” Ra’nar pulled him back to the next with his arm around his neck, “I have a plan.” ========= End Log ======== Private Ra’nar ODA Medical Specialist USS Chimera & Private Christopher walker ODA comm.
