When Tina checked her messages, she felt her pulse start to race before she'd even finished processing why. There were two marked official correspondence from high-ranking Starfleet officers. It had to be about her reassignment. Big deal. Big, big deal. This was going to be a huge influence on what she'd be doing with herself for the next ( Read more... )

Once James and Jim were on the other side of a door, it was a lot easier to think. And, thinking about it, Tina decided that maybe she'd better not shower before she contacted whoever she would be contacting. So she threw on a robe and started making some calls ( Read more... )

If she'd had the benefit of the knowledge that a few days would bring, it would have seemed obvious what was going on. But she didn't. What Tina had to work with was that she and Bill had eaten some pudding and shared part of a drink, that they had hugged, and that Bill had behaved in a way that could be described as odd ( Read more... )

Eventually, Chapel woke up from her nap, though the alarm she had set before falling asleep never sounded. She kicked her way free of the sheets that had tangled around her as she slept, and blinked blearily at the clock on the nightstand. The numbers were flickering indistinctly. It must be malfunctioning ( Read more... )

After a couple of drinks, a snack and her chat with Mr. Scott, Chapel took a short walk, checking out the area around her hotel before deciding to head back to her room and change her shoes before seeking out Uhura and Gaila and the other women for what promised to be an epic shopping binge. Her strappy, kitten-heeled sandals were cute, and a ( Read more... )

As she finished the last little bit of work she had to do before leaving the ship, Chapel actually had to fight the urge to throw her hands up in the air and cheer. She wasn't a schoolgirl on summer break, damnit. But she was an overworked nurse who was more than ready for shore leave. She decided that jogging to her room to pick up her ( Read more... )
