As Dan people watched he saw an officer he recognized in passing on the Aquila coming over to him.
Part of Dan's mind thought this was the reason why he stayed on the ship in his quarters, then on the other hand he should be sociable. The officer had a sleek, slender hourglass physical appearance as she headed over towards him, finally when the officer got to the table she said,
"Captain Brooks?" she asked. "I'm Lieutenant Samira Khasmin, Science Department, I transferred a while ago from the Starship Yorktown. I never got a chance to give meet you and give my greetings and salaams."
Captain Brooks eyebrow raised at her questioning who he was but then again he wasn't as famous as some of the other Captains in the Fleet, for instance Captain Braggins he had briefly seen across the crowd earlier.
"Yes, indeed I am." Dan said with a smile before adding, "Welcome to the Aquila, I hope you will settle in well with the crew." before he could say much else his attention was drawn to his FO.
“Daniel” Beno said while acknowledging him first. “Julia.” She said before turning to the third. “That means you must be Samira, our new Science officer.” She wanted to keep the conversation casual and away from what they did.
"My deepest Salaams to you as well, Commander Velaul," Samira replied. "Glad to meet you at last! How wonderful, I'm actually meeting both the Captain and the First Officer for the first time, and at a table! I saw you on the crew roster, but I had been so busy getting to know the ship to meet you both, and I beg forgiveness for that," she added humbly. "I mean, it IS a big ship, it's even bigger than the ship of my first posting, the Yorktown..."
“This brings me back to the day we first met, unfortunately most at that party have long since parted in one way or another.” For the first time Beno was feeling old. “I wonder where ch’Alev is, we really haven’t had a chance to talk since our reunion.
Daniel looked thoughtfully at his glass for a moment, while K'hasim called out for Talion.
Looking back at Beno he said, "I know... this what happens when you become old vets like us, too many years Beno."
Downing his drink he looked for a waiter and beckoned them over.
"I will have another double vodka, on ice and get what ever these three are having to and charge it to Captain Brooks."
The waiter nodded and took all their orders and left,
"Come on then, you all might as well take a seat and join your Captain, that's if you don't mind being in the party mood when your Captains around....." he said looking at Beno, putting a hand on her shoulder briefly.
"They say the hardest job is being the CO but really it is being the FO, you have to balance being one of the crew and also being the one who makes the tough decisions." as the drinks came back to the table he paused.
"The one thing I do know is, I am proud to have everyone of you on board."
Brooks then said, "I raise a toast to The Aquila and may her crew be fantastic."
Dan then gave a look towards Beno before saying,
"ch'Alev passed a message on to me saying he was taking a little private shore leave and will be back before we set sail. Maybe you should touch base with him when he returns."
