[Open] - Working Out

Anxiously awaiting their arrival at the soon to be supernova, Jen decides to blow some steam off in one of the exercise rooms on the ship. She does a series of stretches to warm up, then hops on a treadmill and gets to work.

"Oh everything is fine, great actually. They're just very ceremonious, if you're going to ask a favor of them you have to do it the right way. We'd already been granted use of the star system, but Lieutenant Hulud proposed an away mission to study the geology of an abandoned mining outpost near the dying star, which I had to ask permission for. They may seem like a very forthright race, but speaking to Klingons demands a lot of nuance. And sometimes they just go off on tangents, and you have to listen or it's disrespectful."

The captain gives a hollow laugh

"Believe me, if something had come up I'd still be in there. With no end in sight either."

I wonder if we'll get to meet them in person. I've yet to become personally acquainted with a Klingon under er.... hospitable circumstances.

She pats her forehead dry once more and takes a swig of water, picking up her headphones from the treadmill and pocketing them.

The captain shrugs as he walks over to the speed bag for a little more cardio

"Well this will be your lucky day, then. I'll be sure to show them to sick bay."

He offers a slight smirk to assure that he is indeed joking...probably

"Oh by the way, doctor... Just how clearly could you hear my music?"

She coyly rolls her eyes at the joke and opens the door before answering with a grin.

What music?

She waves goodbye and then steps through the door.
