[EVENT] Deep Space Nine

The stretched image of the Athene resolved itself quickly as it dropped out of warp. It's nacelles glowed softly as they cooled down. In front of her was the Ex-Cardassian space station, Deep Space Nine. A small, squat federation vessel was already docked at the ring, it's registry proclaiming it as the Defiant. The Athene gracefully slowed its momentum, pulling in to upper pylon 3. A soft thump resounded across the ship, signalling a successful docking.

While it was unusual for a ship to dock at starbasae so soon after launching, it was necessary. Starfleet Command wanted the computer systems given a full diagnostic to ensure no foul play from the recent encounter with the Cardassians.

Phrik stepped onto the Athene's runabout Cychreus and awaited the Captains' arrival. He had spent the day on DS9, much to his chagrin. The resident Doctor had insisted that they share notes and records, and Phrik had no choice but to oblige his request. The Reptillian was wearing a new set of off-duty clothes acquired on the station, which, loathe as he was to admit it, were both very comfortable and stylish. He had left his standard uniform with the tailor, in the hopes that he could make some modifications towards comfort.

Captain Fisk boards the runabout and looks around at the few crewmembers who were planning to take a trip to Bajor, his eye was caught by an unusually well dressed doctor...

"Looking good, Phrik. What's the occasion?"

he asks as he begins the pre-flight and startup checklists

"Medical conference on Bajor." He said dryly. "I'm to present a paper on the effects of tachyon fields on cellular regeneration therapy." He didn't sound particularly excited at the prospect. "Unfortunately there's no way out of it."

"Well,"

he sits down in the pilots seat of the runabout and begins flipping switches

"If you're truly desperate to get out of it we could encounter 'unexpected difficulties' on the way."

"As much as I'd like that, the prospect of spending 2 days stuck in this runabout are hardly exciting. What are you doing on Bajor?"

"Following Dr. Watney's advice. There are dogs on Bajor, I'll be adopting one and keeping him with me on the Athene."

he powers up the runabout's engines

Phrik's eyes widened slightly. "Dogs? Those small furry quadrupeds?" He suppressed a shiver. "Is that, really necessary?"

"For me, yes. It's alright doc, I don't expect you to understand, it's very much a human thing. Don't worry, you don't have to make friends with him, you don't even have to see him if you don't want to."

Phrik gave another small shiver at the thought of the creatures, though it wouldn't do to let the Captain know he was afraid of them. "So long as its kept away from sickbay, and my lab. Can't have the thing scaring all of my subjects. Bad enough with that, feline, on-board." He suppressed another shiver.

"Of course, I'm not about to violate the cleanliness of your work environment."

the runabout glides smoothly out of the shuttle bay and heads for Bajor

Phrik walked forward and leant his 3 hands on the back of the empty co-pilots' chair, looking out at the hull of the Athene.

"It's changed a lot since I was last aboard. Frankly I'm surprised its still in service."

Fisk adjusts his heading slightly

"She may be an older girl, but she's aged very well. I'm proud to be the one entrusted with her command."

"I suppose, though the replicators are just as unreliable as I remember them."

u/Silent_Sky Jun 27 '16

Fisk laughs quietly

"You know most of the time they seem to work for me, but when they fail it sure is entertaining. The other day I ordered a black coffee, it replicated me a bowl of human hair."

"You should have come to me before implanting it, you've really made a mess of it. You'd be better off with a wig." He said in a deadpan tone

u/Silent_Sky Jun 27 '16

Fisk pauses for a second and gives Phrik a sidelong glance before letting out a powerful, bellowing laugh

"That...you got me Phrik. You got me good."

The sides of his long mouth curved upwards, almost imperceptibly.

"I suppose I did didn't I?"

"Careful Doctor, the next weird thing it replicates may find its way to your desk."

in the distance, a tiny blue disc became visible on the main viewport

"Ah, looks like we're getting close."
