        It was at this oppertune time that the server came back with the
drinks.  He noticed the additional person.  She took Boulay's drink order...

        "Captain, please order.  We have not yet completed our discussion of
all of the fun and exciting things that there are to do on the station and
the special protocols that visiting Admirals have to follow when at the home
port.  That should actually take us into the meal, so you might as well
order a bite to eat.  I am buying today."  Tyrus mentioned using a
completely friendly tone once more.
