Rec Room - Day 43 (evening) - Open

Dec 01, 2010 09:32

The rec room was unusually quiet for an evening on the ship; with shifts turning over and exhausted crew members eager for relaxation and good company the room was usually at least semi-crowded and abuzz with the din of easy conversation between friends. Regardless, with the exception of a few relatively quiet officers in the far corner, the room ( Read more... )

He didn't have cause to be in the rec room very often. Not that he had any particular purpose in being there at the moment, but every so often he did feel the urge to be somewhere that wasn't the mess hall, his quarters, or engineering. If only to convince himself that he really did have a life outside his job, honest.

So it was that he found himself ambling into the rec room, hands in his pockets, whistling aimlessly. It was fairly quiet, but then maybe that was normal for the time of day; he didn't really have much of a basis for comparison. He did however notice Spock sitting apparently absorbed in a complicated-looking game of chess. He greeted him with a nod and an offhand; "Alright?"

Spock didn't need to look up from his game to know who it was addressing him. The voice was too distinct, too easily recognizable. But it was generally understood amongst humans that it was impolite not to acknowledge a newcomer. His eyes drew away from his board, and he gave the Chief Engineer a polite nod.

"Good evening, Mister Scott."

"Aye, evenin'," Scotty replied, as he looked over the game in progress in idle curiosity. "Are you winnin'?" he added with a grin.

"Indeed; losing as well," he said, then after a beat, "Would you care to join me?"

He paused, contemplating the chess board thoughtfully. It'd been a while. But then he was fairly sure he at least remembered how the pieces moved...the rest would probably come back to him. "Go on then," he replied, sliding into the seat opposite.

Spock regarded the board silently for a moment, then slid a black rook across several spaces to claim a pawn. He set the piece aside, with the others that had already been claimed. "Your move."

He spent a few minutes considering the layout of the board, trying to fathom what white's strategy had been before he'd taken over. Not that it mattered really. Continuing a strategy his opponent had set up probably wouldn't help his chances any. With a mental shrug he reached out and moved a knight forward to protect his queen.

"Never been much for chess," he admitted, sitting back and eyeing the board. "Did once write a four-dimensional chess program back in uni. That was more about the maths though."

"Interesting."

Spock moved a knight back towards his own royalty, eyes intent on the board for a moment afterward. A beat of silence followed his move, then he glanced up at the engineer.

"Do you still have it?"
