[Hallowette Maxas-Darl]

=Recall Timeline==

The lounge was more quiet than it ever was while underway. That was to be expected, Hallowette reckoned, given the crew was far from fully accounted for, and it would take a few more days until they would be.
The lanky hybrid waved a small hello to one of the bartenders as she entered, scanning the room for any familiar faces, before moving on to a table bordering the large canvas window that looked out on the spacedock and Earth just beyond it. It was always amazing to her just how blue the world was. Even Trill and Bajor, with their purple and emerald oceans, felt different somehow. No less beautiful, perhaps, but Earth possessed a particular brilliance that always managed to catch her attention. She wondered if humanity ever truly noticed it anymore, or if familiarity had rendered such beauty invisible, as it often seemed to do.

She removed a PADD from the thigh pocket on her uniform and placed it on the table. She scrolled through the various pages of data and settled on a book by a Romulan monk who had recently become an ambassador to Vulcan. She found the discourse of evolved diplomacy fascinating, especially as to how it related to two species that originated from the same evolved source, yet diverged so drastically.

After some time the young auburn haired tactical officer grew aware of the gnawing sensation that sat just under the pouch on her abdomen, and she decided to settle the sensation with a quick bite. During her time on leave, she'd spent a fair amount of time in the United Kingdom, and while there she had discovered a simple, yet delicious human dish called Welsh Rarebit. She strode to the replicators, punched in a few keys and then waited patiently as the matter condensers assembled a plate of the crisp, gooey and melty dish. Returning to her seat at the window, stopping only to get a glass of fresh beneer juice from the bar, she sat and began to eat as she dove back into her book, only looking up occasionally when someone new entered the lounge.

[Ardanna Svenson]

<< Gym <<

Following her workout and after dropping her gym bag off at her quarters Ardanna decided that some sustenance was required before she reported to Security. Besides the Ensign had worked up quite the appetite and while she could have gone to the Complex early, the lounge appealed to her more and if she was lucky she might even bump into someone she knew, which was always a bonus.

Ardanna had also wisely dressed in her uniform, saving her time in the long run as she made her way to the lounge, with the intention of eating something relatively healthy especially after the indulgences that came with being on leave.

It was time to get back to more than her usual workout routine, and that included her diet with perhaps the exception of her cheat day once a week. For now though her choice was already made as the brunette lower ranked officer entered the lounge, her unique gaze casting a glance around to see if she knew anyone. While she hadn't spent much time with Maxas-Darl, Ardanna figured this would be a good opportunity to rectify that as she stopped by the replicators and ordered a chicken and bacon salad with a side of fresh berries before making one last pit stop to order and receive a glass of strawberry lemonade.

Thanking the bartender, Ardanna then carried her tray over to where Hallowette was sitting and greeted her warmly. “ Hey Hallowette, would it be okay for me to join you?”
