Qi relaxed his shoulders. It was clear that Braggins wasn’t expecting him to be a perfectly buttoned-up Starfleet officer. Actually, she seemed to be having fun. Still, there was still a tension in the room that he couldn’t quite place. He’d felt it in Quark’s as well.
“I need a new coffee mug. My old one got broken last mission. Are you accepting commissions?” Black asked, throwing him a bit of a life raft.
“As soon as I make one that won’t leak hot raktajino into your lap, it’s yours,” Qi replied with a grin.
"It will be good to have a linguist aboard; there may be times when we need to avoid using the Universal Translator, and having a selection of voices to choose from will do a lot for our ability to communicate even in adverse conditions,” Braggins added.
Qi nodded. Language was much more than a medium for conveying information. Technology had allowed the galaxy’s many races to communicate, but it was a superficial understanding.
"As I said, the Yeager isn't finished yet so we can't go aboard until they put the finishing touches on her. I'd like to get all the Department Heads together for dinner tonight, say Nineteen-Thirty Hours, so we can introduce any new faces and go over what I expect our assignment will be. Are there any questions?”
“Sounds great. If we’re dismissed, I’ll unload my bag,” Qi said, shifting the heavy bag to his other shoulder. He was happy to get this formality out of the way and pick up the conversation in a more social setting.
