"Well, good morning, Larim, "Jenn said as she walked in to the security chief's office. "I hope you had a good night." She was in a jolly good mood. The battle for Empok was over and both her and Billy made it out alive. They made a promise, and now she was going to let on of her friends in on it.
"Good morning, Jenn. What's up? Larim said. "Better than I've had at least." He chuckled.
Jenn shrugged. She was still going through all the reports as she was getting them in. That it was a heavy battle she knew. But she was mostly in the SCIF. "Well, there are no casualties to report in intelligence. But I think we have gotten some shudders down below." She smiled as she took a seat across from Larim.
"Why I am here," Jenn continued. "Is both of a personal and a professional nature. So let me quit going around the bush while I am ahead. I am getting married. I asked him." A little blush came on her cheeks as she told that.
"Congratulations Jenn!" Larim said. "Glad to hear it." He turned to the replicator. "This calls for refreshments. What's your pleasure?"
"oh, ehm,,," Jenn thought a moment. "Scotch, neat." She thought a moment. She has changed a lot, and her taste as well. When she first got on the Pioneer she only drank sweet drink. This was definitely a change.
Larim ordered two, handing one to Jenn. "So.." he said taking a sip. "Where can I help?"
"Well, as you know, I can't just quietly marry Billy. I think a reception needs to be organised. And I think logistically and security wise this would make perfect sense to put in your hands. So basically I am asking you to be my wedding planner and ceremony master." Jenn was nervous at first, but it seemed pretty normal to ask.
"Wedding planner and Mc eh? " he said, rubbing his chin. He thought for a good minute. "Well, the only wedding I've ever planned was my own, but it seemed to go ok." He grinned. "Of course I'll do it."
Jenn was almost spinning, but she tried to hold it back. "Thank you so much, Larim. And you can ask your wife to help you of course. But please, no Betazoid wedding ok. We're not Betazoids."
Larim just laughed. "Not betazoid, right. I'll definitely remember that." He grinned.
Jenn then pulled out a padd she was hiding and put it on his desk. "This is our guest list. We have some family members we would like to invite. Mine's a bit short. But please make sure you invite my aunt. I want her to see me get married, she never thought I would."
"I'll make a point to contact her first then." The betazoid smiled. "That should be a fun conversation. "
"It sure will be." Jenn said as she remembered her aunt. She hadn't spoken to her aunt since she left the academy. "She can be quite...intense."
" I'll definitely keep that in mind." he said, smiling
