Linda goes about her routine

Astrometrics was a bore, so I will leave most of that part out. Sure, it's part of the job to plot out courses and identify hazards, points of interest, etcetra... But I would much rather be in the driver's seat, steering the ship.

Despite that, I did have a glow about me that my crewmates took notice. I got some teasing about coming in late, with most of my co-workers suspecting what I'd been up to. Not that I was hiding it well. I guess this was how I looked like after a session with Jenny or Kari. I wasn't about to let them know I was literally playing with myself a short while ago. I don't think they'd let me live that down.

Anyway, duty was uneventful. We were traveling through a generally quiet region of space with no signs of aggressive species for the time being. We did plot out courses for potential planets that may be worth visiting for the captain to review.

After my shift, I left for the cafeteria to grab something to eat. I saw LaSalle there, so joined her and we caught up with each other.

"So... How's that holo-program coming along?" she asked.

"I just finished it up today and already transferred it over to Kari," I replied.

LaSalle leaned in close with a look of mischief, "Did you try it out?" She took the sudden blush to my cheeks as a yes and leaned back with a chuckle, "I gave mine a little test whirl too, you know, just to see how it was."

I raised my eyebrow, "And?"

The engineer chuckled to herself, "You should have told me I was that good, I would have holoed myself a long time ago!"

We both shared a giggle as one of the kitchen staff walked up to us. She gave me a smile, "Hey you..."

I was a bit perplexed. With a crew of our limited number, we did know pretty much everyone on board but some we were more familiar with than others. This Andorian was acting like we were old chums when I couldn't, for the life of me, remember her name. I simply smiled and replied, "Good to see you.."

She laughed a leaned in, catching me in a passionate kiss. "That was for earlier... Hope to see you again sometime..."

I sat in my chair, shocked. Jenny looked across the table with her jaw open.

"Who was that?" she asked in a bewildered tone.

"I don't know..." I gazed on as the crewman sauntered back to her station. I then took notice of a pair in the corner who were eyeing me down. When they caught my eye, they gave winks and blew kisses. Jenny noticed this too. I turned to her, "What's going on?"
