== NPC Lt(JG) Gath ==
Gath turned to Kurasa and very calmly said, "Commander, if I may be so bold...you stressed protocols, yet then berated the lady on professional protocols. I must apologize if this is an uncomfortable truth, but I am duty bound to point out that I think your evaluation of the situation is in error. She did behave as you stated, however, Ten Forward is considered a sacred zone where rank is supposed to not be a factor. Many crew, especially Enlisted seek refuge here, knowing that rank is not supposed to be an issue. Thus, if any protocols were violated, they might be of a social nature, but there were certainly no professional ones that I found in violation. I also point out that my mention of this is not intended to offend socially, but from a professional perspective, it is my place to try and assist my Superior officers in any way that I can, even if this might earn me their temporary displeasure in the heat of the moment. As with all things, Commander, I may not always say what you want to hear, but I assure you that I will always say to you what I honestly judge to be what you need to hear."
He then turned and asked, as if nothing had gone wrong at all, "I for one, am interested in some refreshment. Can I interest any of you in anything? This is a social gathering and it just seems more appropriate with beverages and perhaps some snacks."
Gath waited to see how everyone reacted.
