Captain Brooks Surprise 40th Birthday Party
#10
When Jez heard of the Party for the Captain she was excited, after everything she had been through she was looking forward to some fun, but the question was what does one give a Terran male who is turning forty years old? The obvious choices were something a Captain would enjoy, an astrolabe came to mind, but on an enclosed starship it seemed a little impractical. Jez looked at a spyglass, but an old gift like that and the astrolabe and the Captain might think she was reminding him of how old he was. Jez did recall him mentioning that he was a Chief Medical Officer.

After several hours of searching Jez found what she thought would be the perfect gift for a man as unique as Captain Brooks, she found a book by Leonardo DA Vinci, The Anatomical, Physiological and Embryological Drawings of Leonardo da Vinci With more than 1200 reproductions of drawings by the master's own hand, this book is the definitive and most complete collection of Leonardo's anatomical drawings. The Vitruvian Man is da Vinci's study of the human form, which is meant to be perfectly proportionate through the application of geometry and mathematics. Its only meaning is to demonstrate the perfect ratios and proportions found in human anatomy.Jez was confident that the Captain would enjoy it.

The next dilemma was what to wear to the Captain’s Party, she wasn’t sure if it was formal, semi formal, or casual. Jez searched through the replicator files and found a wonderful Asian Inspired cocktail dress, it was a yellow silk with cherry blossoms, it was slit up the side. Jez put her hair up in a bun, secured with a Hair binyeo, in the shape of a dragon, her makeup was subtle. The dress fits like a glove. Jez was hoping to dance, so she wore a pair of gold colored pumps. She then replicated a pair of dangling jade earrings that complimented her dress very well. Jez gave herself a once over, just to make sure everything was just right; once she was satisfied she left for the holodeck.

Jez had no idea what to expect, she entered and was a bit startled, there was a Castle set upon gently rolling hills. The Castle appeared to be of the Gothic architectural style and time period. Usually, this means they were built between 1200 and 1800, though most were built before 1500. They usually have high walls, vaulted ceilings, and big windows.What Jez didn’t understand was the Pink Flamingo, it just seemed out of place; horses or archers would have seemed more appropriate. Maybe the Captain has a thing for Flamingo’s, Thought Jez. However, the rest of the Castle was spot on complete with Guards dressed in Medieval clothing, the only thing missing was an old man with a long white beard, the court wizard; it looked like something out of a fairytale. Jez looked around for a Dragon.

As Jez entered the Castle she spotted Commander Talion speaking with the Captain and a young Tactical Midshipman. He was a handsome man, he had a classical look about him, but he was just a tad too young for her. There was a beautiful brunette Trill in an absolutely stunning green cocktail dress with matching nails.

That must be Commander Velaul, Thought Jez, but she wasn’t sure as she hadn’t met the Aquila's First Officer, yet.  Jez knew of Commander Velaul, the other crew members said she is the best First Officer in the Fleet. Jez was looking forward to talking with her, as she had heard that the Commander was an author, mystey’s was what she had heard. Jez also likes mystery novels. Jez was curious to hear the Commander's thoughts on authors like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, and Rex Stout.

Suddenly another Hologram appeared, it was Commander Talion’s ever-faithful Cindy, she was wearing the classical little Black Dress, and she looked amazing, Commander Talion looked so dapper, so refined.

Jez then saw Lt. Thorn, she was in a dress, Jez couldn’t recall having ever seen Thorn in a dress, not that they had lots of formal affairs on the Geronimo, but the dress that Kalli was wearing was stunning,  her arms were bare to the shoulder and the length of her dress was about mid-calf, but there was a slit that ran up one side, the dress complemented her Hazel eyes. Jez almost hated Kalli for looking so amazing.

She has excellent taste.

Jez approached the group, “Hello Captain, Commander Talion, Cindy, Kalli Good to see you again.” Jez then handed The Captain his Birthday present, “Happy Birthday, Captain.” Announced Jez as she gave him his present. “I hope you like it and I hope you don’t have one..” Said Jez. “Lieutenant Thorn, you look beautiful, you must tell me the name of your dressmaker.” Pleaded Jez.

She then turned to Commander Velaul and the Young Tactical Midshipman. “Hello. I’m Ensign Jez Mala, we haven’t been formally introduced. It’s a pleasure to meet you. ” Her tone was warm, friendly, and confident.
