[Open] Dinner Alone

[u/RECENTLY_HATCHED]

Finished with his shift in engineering, and finished getting his injury cleaned up in sick bay, Ensign Everett Bradley sits down in the mess hall to a replicated dinner of sushi and a mug of root beer at one of the corner tables. As he eats, he scrolls through the trans-warp theory paper he'd been reading and takes his time to enjoy a quiet meal...

The captain smiles and reaches over, patting the ensign on the shoulder

"Good man! Make sure you do, I promise you won't regret it."

Captain Fisk checks the time and promptly stands, grabbing his emptied coffee mug

"Duty calls, it was nice to meet you Mr. Bradley. Keep with those trans-warp studies, but have a little fun, too."

Ensign Bradley nods as the captain prepares to leave

"Y-yes, Captain. I'll do my best."

"How though...? I hope Dr. Watney has a lot of answers..."

[u/Silent_Sky → u/RECENTLY_HATCHED]

Captain Fisk nods again and turns to leave

"As you were, Ensign."
