Miles walked the corridors of the Artemis, thoughts of the last mission playing through his head. It was weird, in a way, for how his perception of it all played out. Breakneck speed from the briefing to entering the system (via cloak, another issue altogether) to dock with the Callisto. Then, an almost sluggish crawl as they made their way through the ship, engaging the Cardassians, coming up with a plan to retake it that became unnecessary as the Cardassians left the ship. And then the almost imperceptible escape that felt like such a blur that details just blended together for Miles. Almost out of body/not even there feeling.
He also thought of Lina. He missed her, having not yet had a chance to see her aside from some video calls. But those were still few and far between, and he hadn't, as of yet, been able to arrange for another one since the mission had ended. Conflict of schedules, different locations. Something they knew they would be dealing with, and they were making it. The messages helped, even if he couldn't be as open about them as he would have liked.
Which was another worry on what kind of backlash those involved would be facing. It was a waiting game to see, but it felt like a ticking time bomb. It was stressful. But, stress they could deal with. And apparently were at least trying to mitigate, if the invite to the Officer's Lounge for a post-mission "party" were any indication.
Miles didn't know much about the host, one Ensign Eun Ju Han, a recent addition to the crew since the mission. Regardless, he welcomed the camaraderie that events like this one offered. The thought was broken as he realized he had arrived at the destination.
As he stepped through, he took notice of those in attendance. It appeared most, if not all, had already migrated to their various groups. Eventually, Miles would seek someone or a group to speak with. For now, he was okay with getting a drink. If someone wanted to approach him, that would be fine, too.
