Tired, Leland was looking for a nice place to sit and have a drink and some contemplation. He had arrived at the station bar, to sit and have a drink.
He was in the full swing of things now, having had accessed his security clearance with the Stations Security Officer, and had looked over, studied, and completed drills on the holodeck for his Chief of Helm position on the Tomcat. The new ship had some interesting navigational intricacies. He happily took the program to the task.
Sitting down at the bar, he smiled when the Bar Tender had come around his way. "What will it be?" She asked.
"One double shot of whiskey, on the rocks please!" He gave a slight smile. He sat down one of his working padds at the bar top. He relaxed back his shoulders, and stretched his forearms, from his gym workout earlier. He was already needing another shave.
Just then, his attention had turned from his padd, towards that of a female seated just a few bar stools downward from him.
"Here you go. One Double-Shot on the rocks." The Bar tender had set down the tumbler glass, with a napkin underneath it.
"Thank you kindly," He smiled at the BarTender. He then tipped with what federation currency he was carrying. He was sitting in his pair of khaki shorts and white tee-shirt, something comfortable while he awaited this Starbase purgatory.
Taking a drink, feeling the warmth burn go down his throat, his Adams apple swallowed it whole.
Sliding down a few seats next to the striking female, he smiled. "Mind if I take a seat next to you?"
Rena smiled, "Sure go right ahead, I'm not expecting no one." Rena smiled enjoying lunch.
"Lieutenant Jg Leland Hawksley, USS Tomcat Chief of Helm. I'm waiting for my ship to come in..." He chuckled at that. "How about you?" He did not know her name.
Rena held out her hand to shake."I'm Ens Rena Sara,Security officer for the USS-Tomcat." she said enjoying the company she is seeing.
"Pleasure to meet you Ensign Sara. Looks like we have both lucked out. The Tomcat, from what I hear, is a great ship and crew." He nodded, taking another swig of his tumbler glass.
Rena smiled while eatting her salad."I agree,thats what I heard to about the Tomcat." Rena smiled drinking her Soda with her salad.
Hawksley nodded. "Perhaps you could offer me some rifle practice sometime? I wouldn't mind some sharp shooting." He grimaced. "I have a bit of a poor game when it comes to phaser rifles." Leland asked.
Rena looked at him and smiled."I'd like that myself."Rena said to him with a smile.
"Good, good." He then tapped the top of his tumbler glass. The server coming around once more, and topping off his empty glass, refloating the ice cubes.
Taking a drink, he smirked. "I can't promise there won't be damages involved. But, we will see, eh?" He winked.
Rena chuckled after that, "That's for sure I agree there." Rena smiled while enjoying The Lieutenant's time with him.
Roderick smiled. "Rena, would you care to get out of here.. Go for a walk? I'm getting antsy..." He always had a streak of ADHD when sitting around a starbase for so long. Also, the drink was starting to get to him, and he had thought that would be best for now, before he started to slur.
Rena smiled. "Sure let's go." Rena smiled as she got up.
