"Of course, hun," she replied.�� "Give me a couple of minutes,� and I
will be
right back with the food.�� It will be even less for� the drinks.�� I
just
have to drop by the kitchen to to drop of� your order before I grab
them."��
She left with a smile on her� face.
"I have to admit this place always seems to have the most� interesting people
working here," said Audra as she watched Bessie walk� off. It was not meant
as an insult. Just a side comment. The� staff seemed to be part of the
entertainment.
"That they do.", he� answered.� When returned her gaze to her conversation
partner, she� noticed that he hadn't taken his eyes off of her.
Audra felt her cheeks� blush slightly.�� "Have you had a chance to do much
travelling� your life?"�� She knew that his uncle was in Starfleet, but
she
did�
not know too much about the rest of his family.
"Actually, yes.�� Not too terribly much while I was a kid, but once I joined
Starfleet I was all� over the place.� Sadly, most of the travel was all
work,
so I didn't have� time to see any sites or enjoy my travels.� But that is
what
you get when� you are in Intell.� In fact that is one of the reasons that I
wanted to get� out of Intell and back into the fleet proper.� They get to
enjoy
shore� leave every now and again.", he answered ending with a smile.
"How about� you?"
Audra nodded.� "A bit even before I was in Starfleet.� My� father was an
engineer so he was able to travel to a number of worlds to work on�
contracts.� He
often brought us with him.� Granted, it wasn't� necessarily to the greatest
tourist attractions, but it did expose me to other� peoples and cultures.� I
think that is part of how I ended up in� Starfleet."
"Why did you join up?"
It was a good question. "I have to say that I am not really sure. I think
it all goes back to travelling with my dad. I like getting out to see
things. Starfleet was the most exciting way to do that. Of course, it is
kind
of ironic that I am station on Spacedock, when you think about it."
"I know what you mean. I joined Starfleet to get away from my dad. He hated
Starfleet, and looked down on those that joined. While he doesn't like my
choice to join, and I hear about it every chance he gets to tell me, being in
Starfleet has brought us closer. Oddly enough."
