Hey, everyone. I was thinking about how back home, some of the senior officers used to get together a few times a week for a poker game. It's great stress relief. Even though we don't have money here, we could figure something out. I'm open to suggestions, or we could just play for chips and bragging rights. [He doesn't know about everyone, but he's competitive enough to make bragging rights a decent motivator.] We could even call it a club, so everyone could get some of those rehabilitation points toward things we want to ask for.

Oh, and if you don't know how to play but want to learn, it's not hard. It's just a matter of practice. And who knows? You might be a natural.

Anyone interested? I was thinking we'd start in a day or two.

[He's hoping the Captain and Data (the default dealer back on the Enterprise) will be up for this, but hey. Anyone who wants to get together and have fun is fine with him. Also, it's too bad Commander Riker was only here that one day; he'd probably have gotten a game together long ago if he'd stayed.]

	Not so regularly as you, perhaps, but I have. [If the officers on Pike's ship played, she probably wouldn't join them. If Pike was playing, he wouldn't have thought to invite her.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[If Geordi knew that, he'd think it was a crying shame. Sure, the Captain only joined them recently, but the senior officers playing together was great for team building. And just having a good time.] Then I hope you'll join us. I have to believe you'd be pretty good; someone doesn't get to be your rank without knowing all about strategy.

	[The Enterprise isn't the easiest ship to be a woman on. The truth is, she's probably more cautious than she needs to be when it comes to fraternizing with the rest of the senior staff... but, well. Pike's views on having women on the bridge leave a lot to be desired.] I won't confirm or deny that, in the interests of improving my chances. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[With a grin, he points at her on the video.] See? I knew you'd be an especially good opponent. It makes me sorry our Commander isn't here. He's the best poker player I've ever met. Not that I'm too bad myself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, I look forward to trying my luck. [You'd probably need a Vulcan for a better poker face. Or Data. Data's probably got a better poker face, but probably not by much.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
