Although I do not have extensive experience of attending parties, I became aware of unusual discord among those present at last night's recreational gathering.
harrykim,
_tom_paris_ and
_neelix_ remained in the mess hall for only a short time before leaving the party. My Borg auditory sensors detected some confusing references to oral hygiene devices and plasma manifolds as they departed. They appeared displeased with Commander
chakotay.
paristorres was particularly belligerent in her attitude toward anyone who approached her. She was even more curt than usual when I attempted to engage her in what
emh describes as "small talk". I am curious, why her anger toward
_tom_paris_ should be directed at the entire crew.
Commander
chakotay was unusually taciturn, and even Captain
kathrynjaneway seemed preoccupied. Only
emh and
tuvok appeared unaffected by the obvious tensions in the room.
Unwilling to repeat my previous experience at the slipstream party, I refrained from consumption of alcoholic beverages, even though
_neelix_ had provided an unusually large quantity of leola root punch. He has informed me that there is sufficient remaining for at least one more similar function. I am sure Captain
kathrynjaneway will commend his efficient use of ship's supplies.
