Larim was off duty for the moment, so he took the time to enjoy it. His desk was relatively free of clutter so he took himself on a little solo patrol. After checking in with his men at the SCIF he felt a rather familiar feeling rising from his middle.
There was no mistaking that feeling. Hunger. He made for the nearest lift and went to the mess hall, no plan in mind. He walked up to the replicator and ordered himself a cuban sandwich and a sweet tea and sat down. His mind spinning as to what to do with his downtime.
Jax was having a rough day. It was starting to catchup with her the demands of running flight ops on such a large ship. He hadn't eaten in almost twelve hours and her gut hurt because of it. She stormed through the door of the mess and went up to the replicator. What to get what to get.
Finally she settled on an extra large bacon and peanut butter sandwich on toasted wheat bread. Oh and a extra sweet tea of course. As she looked around for somewhere to sit she saw a rather attractive Security officer. She made her way over. "This seat taken?"
"Not at all." Larim smiled, glad for the company. "The more the merrier."
Jax sat down and looked over the cuban sandwich and sweet tea. "I am not sure we have meet yet. I am Jax. I fly this bucket." She offered her hand.
Larim took the offered hand. "Larim. Guard and phaser shooter."
"Nice you go pew pew at the bad guys while I try and keep us in the air. We create poetry in space." She said as she took a big bite of her sandwich and some peanut butter oozed out and on her chin.
"Yep" Larim said, before taking a bite of his own sandwich.
Jax was hungrey but this guy wasn't much of a talker. She had to find something to get him to talk more. "So what you got planned for today?"
"Funny you should ask." Larim said. "Have been tossing around a holodeck program I'm anxious to get started. Idea came to me recently." he smiled. "Channeling my ineer Tom Paris I guess!" he laughed.
'Everyone wants to be a flyboy' Jax thought. "Oh yeah what kind of program is it?" She asked mildly interested.
"Was stewing on our ships name. Plus going into the badlands. The idea for an ancient American western town popped into my head for some reason." he smiled
"That could be fun." Jax replied not real sure where he was going with this.
"I hope so. Like he did fair haven. Interactive town to unwind in."
"Finding ways to unwind is always important." Jax quipped. "Funny you brought up an old west theme the Captain and I went on a horseback ride when I first got here. It was quite fun."
"Oh? That's great!" Larim said.
"It was nice. It was also a learning experience for both of us. Well maybe sometime I can join you in your program." She said as she finished her plate.
"I'd like that. Once I get it going you'll be the first I call. Sound good?"
"Sounds great." Jax said with a smile. "I suppose I should go get some rest because once we are thick in the Badlands I don't think I will get much sleep"
Larim nodded. "I expect we'll both be busy." he agreed.
Jax was nervous about launching into the Badlands and proving her skills behind the controls. "I think everyone will be. I just hope we make it out in one piece." She said as she stood to leave. "It was great meeting you and I look forward your program."
"Likewise." he smiled, standing himself.
