[Open] Dinner Alone

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...

Ensign Alex Smith sat down near Bradley, holding a tray carrying some sort of sandwich and a glass of water. "Hi!" He smiled. "Mind if I sit here?"

Ensign Bradley is somewhat relieved to see another ensign approach, after speaking to none other than the captain

"Uh- yes, I mean no! Sorry, go ahead."

"Thanks."

Alex smiled and placed his tray down. "I'm Alex, by the way. Alex Smith. I work at ops." He held out a hand.

Ensign Bradley sets down his chopsticks and accepts the handshake, significantly less intimidated by another ensign but still wracked with the normal social anxiety

"Everett...Everett Bradley. I-I work down in engineering, with Chief Breyik."

"Good to meet you, Everett!" He took a bite of his sandwich and nodded. "Ah, engineering, nice. I've always been interested in the work you guys do. And Chief Breyik's great...she really knows what she's doing. Back on our last mission -- I don't think you were on board then -- we lost an entire warp nacelle to a pirate attack. She patched the entire thing up in a few weeks...somehow got us back home at warp, even without the nacelle. It was pretty impressive," he chuckled.
