Kitchen - Day 21 [open/unfinished]

[nurse_cchapel]

Free time on the Enterprise would've been spent by most crewmembers either sleeping or in one of the recreation or exercise rooms. Free time for medical personnel - or at least the Chief Medical Officer and his Head Nurse - was almost always spent sleeping

It had taken more than a week of running on a day's worth of food and even less sleep, but at long last there was finally something to show for it. Life support was as close to functioning properly as it was ever going to get, medbay was back in ship-shape, and they were actually beginning to make headway on the regular maintenance requests.

One of said maintenance requests was the repair job on the main kitchens. He distinctly recalled being bribed with food for that one. Hence, it was time to drop by and pay Tony a visit. He paused in the doorway to look around the newly restored kitchen, gratified to see that at least some of his staff apparently knew their arses from their elbows.

Thoughts of mooching food off Tony were derailed briefly by the intriguing sight of Christine Chapel doing something interesting chocolate-smelling with a bowl. Well, it would be impolite of him not to go say hello.

"Alright?" he said by way of greeting. "What you up to?"

Mid-verse of folk song number three was interrupted by the Chief Engineer's arrival. Not that it was any sort of interruption to be irritated over. Christine would be perfectly thrilled to bits if this turned into some style of kitchen party, complete with people who really didn't have that much business in the kitchen to begin with and others, who did, trying to kick them out.

Grinning, Christine came around the corner counter and held out the bowl, allowing Scott to see her almost-prepared mix. "Brownies," she answered, an even simpler greeting than his own.

"Nice." He eyed the bowl thoughtfully, calculating the odds of him getting away with swiping some of the mix. Probably not a good idea. Important life lesson - never aggravate someone who may be willing to feed you in the near future. Instead he leaned back against a convenient countertop and made himself comfortable. "How you doin' anyway?"

Christine clicked her tongue in a sort of thinking-ish way, then went back to the counter she'd been working at. She needed more vegetable oil. Adding it, she said, "Oh, you know. Living on a starship. Can't complain." Except for those times, of course, when she could and did.

But this was not one of those times. She gave him a smile. "And yourself, Mr. Scott?"
