OFF: Just wanted to say hi to all the new members, I hope to read 
about your character in a post very soon.

ON:

LOCATION: {Ten Forward}

Crewman: "What would you like Ensign?"

Jade: "A replicator."

Crewman: "Excuss me?"

Jade: "Oh, nevermind. I would like a latte please. Hot."

Crewman: "Yes, sir."

Jade: "Call me Crystal, I am not on duty, so I am just like everyone 
else."

Crewman: "Thank you Crystal, I will be right back with your latte."

Jade: "Thank you, I am going to be sitting over there by the window, 
I want to see the stars right now. I have a lot on my mind."

Crewman: "I will bring it too you."

::I move towards a seat in the corner near the window, we were still 
at spacedock, but I could see the stars from the window I was sitting 
at.::

Crewman: "Here is your latte, would you like anything else."

Jade: "No thank you, not right now."

Crewman: "Very well, if you need anything, please let me know."

Jade: "Thank you again."

::The crewman returns to his station behind the bar.::

::I just sat there looking at the stars. I enjoyed the latte, that I 
was finally able to get, (I just hope they fix the replicator in my 
office), even though the latte's on earth were alot better. :: (I 
wondered how the mission would go, and if I would do a good job. I 
had always had someone, another counselor, at Starfleet helping me 
though everything, watching me, guiding me, and now I was on my own. 
This was my job, no one there to tell me if I am wrong or right. I 
would be the guidance.)

(Ten Forward was quiet, there were only two temporary crewman, and 
lonely ol' me. I couldn't wait until there were more people on 
board.)

Jade: ::Raises her hand for attention::

Crewman: ::Comes over to where Jade was sitting:: "Can I help you?"

Jade: "Yes, another latte, please. Hot. And could you bring me a 
piece of Baklava."

Crewman: "Sure."

::The crewman leaves the table and in a few minutes returns with 
another cup of latte, and a piece of Baklava.:: 

Jade: (I am a coffee addict, and if they don't fix my replicator in 
my office, I think that I will go crazy.)

::I just sat there, what seemed like for hours, before someone else 
finally came into Ten Forward.::


OFF: Well hope to hear from some of the new members soon.
