Ship's Log | To Boldly Go

DM to Howard after his conversation with Steve.

Are you alright? How did it go?

I've been thinking of trying some new teas, I tend to prefer white and green teas, any suggestions?

A few announcements!

One, come to the Deck 5 Lounge tonight, there will be drink and cupcake pairings. Don't miss it!

Two, Max and I are starting a fresh-baked cookie delivery service. It will be 24 hours a day so if you have a cookie craving, you know the one where you wake up in the middle of the night and want fresh-baked ooey-gooey chocolate chip cookies (not out of a replicator). Right now we're offering chocolate chip, double chocolate chip, peanut butter, and oatmeal raisin.

You'll be able to send either of us a direct message through your tablet and place an order. Since we're making a special request of ingredients from Starfleet, there is a charge of 10 credits per delivery. And yes, we've already okayed this with Captain Kirk and everyone who needs to approve things like that.

Three, who wants to go dancing in the holodeck tomorrow night with me??

There's a part of me that's still waiting to wake up. I'm in space. I'm actually living in space and Jenna is here and I'm learning about medical technology that's beyond anything I ever could have imagined. It's incredible, but it's also really daunting.

Even after almost two weeks, I can't believe any of this is real.

I am curious. Which aspect of humanity do you find most appealing?

I promised Katie and Alicia that I'd ask again, so here it is: anyone on the ship interested in learning to play quidditch? It's the popular sport in my world and we've got the necessary equipment to play and several people that can teach anyone who wants to learn. The conditions are that you can't be afraid of heights, you have to have reasonably good balance to stay on your broom, and understand that you might get hurt while playing. It's bloody good fun but it's also dangerous, and I don't want anyone to decide to do this without being very clear about the risks.

Of course, we have a good Medical team that can patch you up if you do get hurt.

I suppose we can do a demonstration of sorts if anyone wanted to see what it's like. It won't be a proper game, we would need seven per side for that, but you could get a general idea.
