Joanna saw Audra coming over. Actually, she was quite hard to miss with her
large companion. he appeared to be Brikarian. It was a good guess since
there were few species that looked anything like them.  According to his
uniform, he was an ensign either from Engineering or Security. She stood
when they reached the table. "The more the merrier," she replied as she
offered a seat to the newcomer. "I am Joanna Kirk, station Counselor," she
continued as she extended a hand in greeting.   

Geb extended a hand and dipped his forehead forward. "Thank you for allowing
me to join you both for dinner, Counselor," he replied as he stepped back to
allow Audra to take a seat first.  

"It is the least we can do for our station's newest. What do you think of
Spacedock?" asked the Counseor with a great deal of interest as the group
settled in.  
  
"It as impressive station. It seems to coordinate a great deal of commerce
and traffic while still functioning normally as a Starfleet facility" Geb
glanced around the crowded restaurant before leaning in closer. "It is also
nice to be stationed so close to Earth. I can head back down any time I
want." It was the loosest anyone had seen him since he had arrived. 
 
It was obvious that Geb was not a Terran, and Joanna could sense his
fondness for the nearby planet. "Were you stationed there before coming
aboard?" 
 
Geb dipped his head.  "In a manner,  I actually just graduated from
Starfleet Academy.  While I was there, I came to like Earth a great deal."

Joanna wwas impressed.  It was not often that a fresh graduate was assigned
to Spacedock.  Geb's school record must have been impressive.  "I remember
my years at the Academy.  I made a lot of friendships that have played major
roles in my life."

Audra was impressed by the Counselor's ability to get Kebron to open up.  For the most part, he had been reserved in her presence, but she had learned a great deal about him in the last few seconds they have been at the table.  "I am a native to Earth, but I think that it is a special place where people from all over seem to congregate and interact.  That makes it special."
