OOC: anyone is free to join while we wait for our assignments ;D
Dr. Jack Crane was walking the promenade of the starbase not looking for anywhere in particular, He was smiling in amusement as crewmen or ensigns called him sir it was not that long ago when he was calling them sir or ma’am. His mother and friend Teran had left the station already and Jack wasn’t about to say it to anyone but he was bored stiff although he had the feeling if he did say it something would happen that would make him wish to be bored again. Jack stopped at a shop that was selling antiques and things of interest as he entered the person behind the desk a bajoran woman in her late forties with brown hair and grey streaks asked if he needed help Jack smiled politely as he answered that he was just browsing. Just as he was about to leave something caught Jacks eye at the back of the table at the back wall of the store Jack moved closer and picked the item up. It was a stethoscope something Jack hadn’t seen except in pictures he looked confused at it instead the metal was gold and the plastic tube was a deep royal purple colour. Jack took it to the counter and inquired into its price he squinted as he heard it was three bars of latnum he shrugged as he pressed the PADD of payment it was worth it to him he had saved up some money when he was working as a doctor on various privately owned ships and now he was in Starfleet he had no real need for the money. As Jack left the store Jack hung the stethoscope around his neck as he had seen in the pictures he didn’t want to sit down for coffee and leave it at a table for someone else to find. As Jack continued down the promenade he turned as he heard someone approach from behind him he smiled as he saw a familiar face.

Jake was wondering around the promenade having told the computer to alert him when his orders were ready and saw Lt.JG Crane leave a shop moving faster to get to him. Just as he was making it to him Jack turned around a smiled at him "Doctor." Marcus said." Nice to see u again. I see u haven't been given your orders yet either."
<Tag Crane>
Marcus looked at his and said "I was going to get some food at the StarQuake would u like to join me?" Jack said he would and they headed to the lounge Marcus liked it Becusei t was off the beaten path so only officers who knew where it was went there and the Bakery was always crowded.
I have been studding the Ship rosters and i think i will end up in the first fleet aboard the USS Scavenger they haven't had a Ops officer in a while." Marcus had studied all the data about the Scavenger a Vagabond Class a newer class of ship but powerful. "Where do u think you will be stationed?" As they placed there order.
<Tag Crane>
Marcus took his Burger and fries to a table and waited for the good Doctor. Crane sits and Marcus listened as he ate. Soon after Marcus saw another of thier training cadets he believed it was Michael Van Horn the Tactical officer Tapping his combadge since he was out of ear shot.
=/\= Marcus to Van Horn. Did you just pass the StarQuake lounge? If u did come Join Lt.Crane and Myself."=/\=

"Doctor." Marcus said." Nice to see u again. I see u haven't been given your orders yet either." Jack smiled as he saw Lieutenant Marcus. “No not yet” "I was going to get some food at the StarQuake would u like to join me?" Jake asked as they started to walk “Sure” Jack replied he hadn’t eaten yet today and the thought of food made him very hungry. “I have been studding the Ship rosters and i think i will end up in the first fleet aboard the USS Scavenger they haven't had a Ops officer in a while." Jake said as they stood at the entrance to the StarQuake as they approached the counter Jack ordered a salad and Vulcan spice tea as they walked to the table Jake asked. "Where do u think you will be stationed?" Jack thought about the question for a moment before replying. “I am hoping for the USS Olympia they are in need of a doctor and I have already requested the assignment with Starfleet personnel” as both officers began to eat Jake spotted someone walk past the establishment and tapped his Comm. Badge. =/\= Marcus to Van Horn. Did you just pass the StarQuake lounge? If u did come Join Lt.Crane and Myself."=/\= As they waited for Van Horn to get there Jack decided to fill the time with some small talk. “The training mission was interesting wouldn’t you agree and the graduation ceremony was very nice although I think they designed dress uniforms to be as uncomfortable as possible though” Jack was hoping some of the instrucors or other cadets would drop by so he could say his farwells properly he had not got the chance to at the ceremony and he could be shipped out at any time <Tag Marcus, Van Horn Or anyone else who wishes to join in >

Michael had just passed the StarQuake lounge when he was surprised by a comcall.
=/\= Marcus to Van Horn. Did you just pass the StarQuake lounge? If u did come Join Lt.Crane and Myself."=/\=
At first Van Horn had thought that it would be about his assignment to a ship, but when he heard the familiar voice of the newly promoted Lieutenant he responded:
=/\= Yeah, I just passed by, sounds great. I'll be there in a minute.=/\=
When he walked in the door, Michael was quite surprised. He had heard about the coffee house but didn't realize how beautiful and peaceful it was inside. He saw Crane and Marcus sitting at a table but decided to order first.
"What can I get for you?" A Bajoran waitress asked.
"I think I'll have a Raktagino." Michael responded hoping that his wouldn't be noticed wandering anywhere but her face. She was quite beautiful.
~Too bad I'm not going to be here very much longer.~ Michael thought to himself. On that note he walked over to Marcus and Crane's table to await his Raktagino. Picking a chair next to Jake, Michael asked, "How have things been, Jake? You know I heard the USS Scavenger needs an Ops Officer."

"If I clean the last of the two tables, can I leave early?" Kayla was tired of working at Tante Maria's. Her shift was almost over, and while working the counter, she had a clear view of the entrance to the Starquake across the Promenade where three officers had just rendezvoused.
Maria shrugged. What did she care. "But they better be clean!"
The Bajoran waitress giggled with delight. She scuttled over to the first of the tables, scanning the sonic cleaner quickly over its top to eliminate crumbs before changing to a photonic discharge to eliminate any spots left. She turned to see if Tante Maria was looking, quickly moving to the second table. Flipping the table cloth over, she skipped the entire cleansing process. Nobody would know.
"Done!" she proudly declared, taking off her apron before Tante made a move to dismiss her.
The slight nod that the woman gave said she could leave, and Kayla did with glee.
Quickly pushing her hair around with her hand while looking at her reflection in a bulkhead, she primped until it was just right. Upon finishing, she excitedly did a half skip toward the direction of the Starquake, turning immediately into a moderately paced walk. As she got closer, the walk turned more into a strut.
She entered, not entirely sure where the officers she had seen were sitting. She didn't want to appear to look around as she didn't want to seem desperate for attention. Instead, she sat at the counter.
"What'll'it be?" Dracopolis, the Starquake owner, asked.
"Something fruity... and no caffeine!"
Julian was almost offended by the last statement, as the namesake drink of the establishment was famous, or infamous, for its caffeine content.
She scanned the room while waiting for her drink, finally locking eyes with one of the Officers sitting at the table of three, just long enough to have them realize she was looking at them, but not long enough to make it awkward.
"On your tab?" Dracopolis asked, causing the the nineteen year old Kayla to startle to attention.
"Oh, please."

Marcus saw the Bajoran waitress from the bakery come in and look over at them just as Van horn had asked him a question. Only half hearing it Marcus looked at him and replied "Yes Michael i know about the Scavenger. I hope too be posted there. What about u."
<Tag Van Horn>
Marcus was listening to him when his combadge beeped Tapping it the computer said "Cadet Parker has reported aboard Starbase." Marcus looked at his friends and said excuse me a minute stepping way and tapping his combadge =/\= Lieutenant Marcus to Cadet 4th Class Parker Report to the StarQuake lounge immediately. Marcus out."
Marcus smiled to himself he was going to give her a nice welcome present but had to be an prick for a minute or two. The Cadet entered the Starquake a little faster them a walk but just short of a run and looked around for him.
"Boo Cadet." Marcus said slipping behind her without her seeing him scaring her half to death. After she calmed down Marcus walked her to the counter and told the Waiter whatever she wanted was on him and took her to sit with his friends.
"Cadet Parker this is Dr.Crane and Lt.JG Van Horn. Gentleman this is an old friend of mine from the USS Dallas Cadet Parker." Marcus introduced her to his friends and them to her.

My first day on the Starbase and already my combadge was chirping "Cadet 4th class Parker report to the StarQuake lounge immediately." i knew the voice to be Lieutenant Jake Marcus an old friend when i was aboard the Dallas with my folks his dad was Chief engineer. I arrived quickly and didn't see him at first, All of a sudden he appeared behind me "Boo Cadet." He said smiling and i hit him in the arm. "You scared me Sir."
Knowing he was a senior officer and i was a cadet. "Come on Lily you can call me Jake when we are not around the Brass." looking at Lieutenant Marcus "But Sir that would not be right " he said back to me "Lily it will be fine if u call me Jake we are old friends" looking at Jake " okay i will call u Jake but when the brass is not around " he says back to me "okay thats great " and i smile at him and ask " Jake it has been so long how have you been " he say back to me " Lily i have been good what about ur self " i say "Jake i have been really good "
as we r talking we start to walk over to the counter and he says to the "Waiter whatever she wants it is on him" and i look at Jake and say " oh why thank you Jake" he looks at me " Well what will it be " and i tell the waiter " I will have what he is having " then Jake tell her what he is having and we get our drinks then he says to me " Lily i want u to meat my friends " and i said "okay Jake " with telling Jake that we head over to were his friends were and introduced me to them " lily this is Dr.Crane and Lt.JG Van Horn" and i said to them " hello it is nice to meet the both of you"

Jack had been eating his salad and talking with Lt. Jake Marcus when Lt. Van Horn arrived at the table Jack nodded politely at him as Van Horn and Marcus began talking about Jakes possible future assignment. When Jack saw the Bajoran waitress he had met when he first arrived at the station she was ordering from the counter when she turned and caught Jacks attention. Jake had just contacted a cadet Jack had never met to join them in the Starquake when Jack decided to walk to the counter and invite Kayla over to join them. Jack looked at the waiter who was looking at Kayla expectantly and said nicely.
“Put that on my tab please Julian”
The man behind the counter nodded and handed Kayla her drink before Jack began to talk.
“It is nice to see you again Kayla would you like to join us” Jack asked as he motioned to the table with Van horn and Marcus and a few spare seats
<Tag Tiara Kayla>
As they walked back to the table and sat down the cadet that Jake had requested join them arrived Jake said.
“Boo Cadet” From behind and it took him a little while for him to convince her it was okay to call him Jake. Jake turned and introduced the cadet to Jack and Vanhorn saying.
"Cadet Parker this is Dr.Crane and Lt.JG Van Horn. Gentleman this is an old friend of mine from the USS Dallas Cadet Parker." She replied by saying.
" hello it is nice to meet the both of you"
Jack stood up and offered his hand and said.
“It is nice to meet you Cadet do you know what you will be training in”
<Tag Cadet Parker>
as everyone sat down and Jack continued eating his salad he took a moment to look around the establishment he was sure going to miss it it was very peaceful in here nothing like a sickbay that was for sure.
Jack turned to Kayla and asked.
“How are you haven’t seen you in a while”
<Tag Kayla, everyone else>

A note to the graduated officers using this thread. While you are allowed to sim on SBC as you await assignment, I have to ask that you please take care with your use of language in threads made on SBC, and indeed throughout S47, the term "pr**k" is just not acceptable. Also, when you are simming with cadets please use the full English spelling for words, using "u" in place of "you" sets a bad example and is not to be encouraged in the Academy. To be entirely honest, I expect better from such recent graduates.

I hope to be assigned to the USS Jefferson. The CNO, Thomas Taggert, is an old friend of mine." Michael said, lookig to the others at the table to be polite and let them know they could join in on the conversation. After all, Michael was all about making new friends in Starfleet.

"It's Jake, right?", forgetting the officer's name. "Oh - Jack!" she blushed when he corrected her.
"I suppose I could join you for a few minutes." Of course she could, it was the whole point of being in the Starquake. She wasn't going to be that obvious, though.
She remembered the last time she had seen him. They were in the very same establishment - she didn't recognize him immediately this time. Kayla had left with him to see the broken bulkhead that crashed to the floor last time, and had excused herself from the Doctor's company. Now that he was an officer- his company seemed more... more interesting.
When Jack asked how Kayla was, she shrugged. "Alright. Nothing new here. The bakery is keeping me busy." Her eyes went from Jack, to the other officers, back to Jack again. She was constantly assessing the situations around her, never wishing to miss an opportunity to promote herself.
"Now that you are a Doctor, what are you going to do?" She said it in a tone that almost begged 'take me with you!', but she barely knew the man, and she was a bit too tied down to the Starbase to make that a serious consideration- let alone her shyness to say such a thing.
These officers would be like the rest. They come onto the Starbase in search of training, eyes wide open. After their training is complete, they come back to the Starbase to await their official assignments. To Kayla, it was very depressing. Everyone that came through the Starbase did so while being on the edge of achieving their hopes and dreams. She just stayed, never really progressing in the long run.
"Oh," she remembered, "While you were in training, we had an interesting power outage on the Promenade. It shut down the whole replication system!" she shook her head in disbelief. "I got to have a few days off until they could fix it!" Her nose crinkled every time her voice peaked due to her excited tones. The upside of having so many promising individuals coming through the Starbase was that it made for an interesting diversion for the Bajoran waitress.
