Yes it is Jay.
She then ordered a small salad with Italian dressing on it, a 8oz stake cooked medium well, baked potato and a glass of merlot she thought would go nicely with it. The waiter took her order and then waited for Jay's. While the waiter was doing that she looked over to see Lt. Ramius picking himself gracefully off the floor. She desided to speak to Jay about that.
Think Ryan's been working too hard Jay?
She kind of laughted because it was something she has done on several occasions.

He looks at the waiter "I'll have the same thing thank you" he says to the waiter who then nods and leaves
He had looked toward Ryan when Christian does then smiles "I think so, or maybe he likes sleeping in the messhall" he laughs a little "We have done that at one time in our careers" he says with a smile
He remembers falling out of his chair one time pulling his plate of spaghetti down with him and laughs a little more

She couldn't help but laugh the last time that she did that was when she was up all night reading reports and needed a cup of coffee.
Some more then others. That is for sure. Reminds me of the last time I stayed up that late. Thankfully no one was around.
She then turned her attention back to Jay.
Where is it that you come from? Where do you call home?
She figured to be forward about asking questions. It was a get to know you dinner and she was planning on enjoying every moment of it.

"Your lucky I did that with 25 people in the messhall" he smiles
"I was Born on Earth in the USA place called Barnsville, Ohio lived their tell I was 5, don't remember much about it" he says
"Then from 5 until now the USS Detroit was home to me now the USS Polaris is home, So were you from?" and were is home for you?
He was enjoying the get to know you dinner, and thought everyone should have dinner together, just then their meals were brought, and the waiter left

She thanked the waiter for the meal before he left and then went about trying to explain to Jay where she came from.
I was born on the USS Pathfinder and then from that time until I was eighteen I was on any ship that was in the Gamma or Betta quaderant. My parents both were starfleet officers. I spent most of my earlyer years with Mom seeing Dad over subspace. When I turned five Dad took over the primary caretaker role and then when I was sixteen they both started to take care of me equally. That was until they were killed in active service. The one time that they were on the same ship togeather.
She kind of had to smile at that.
Never know who you will find to love and be with. Then to be able to die togeather doing what you both love to do. That's got to be an honor to do that. I was pretty shook up by it but I had a good friend keep by me. He's on board. Just not as an officer. He'll be leaving soon to go back to his command. Took sometime off to make sure I was still doing alright. So, you can say that Starfleet raised me and I lived amonst the stars. Both my parents are from Earth. Only time I was there was for training.
She started to eat her food.
If I'll ever find someone like they did to spend my life with I made a promass. To let my child be born on a planet and to know that planet as home before carting he/she around the stars. Makes it hard to make friends that last long to constantly be moved from ship to ship when your parent gets reassigned. What made you join Starfleet?
She wanted to move on to a happyer subject figured that would be a good question to move on from the topic at hand.

Ryan would get back over the logs of what he had to get fixed and what he would need new parts for. He would reach over grabbing his cup of coffee and would take a sip of it.. Almost spitting it back out since it was cold.
" If there is one thing I do not like is cold coffee.."

He listened to Christian then she asks what made him join Starfleet
"We have a bit in common I joined starfleet because my Father was a member, he was Assistant Engineer of the USS Detroit, he died when I was 7, Mom never recovered from it and died when I 9 they don't why she was healthy I figure it was her broken heart" says then takes a bite of his food
"I was taken in by Mark and Peggy Stevenson My Mom and Dad's best Friends and lived with them until I Academy" Hes says with a smile
"I got my love of Helm from him and Ops from Peggy, She like a Mom to me Mark was like a Dad but he died, after graduation I was assigned to the USS Detroit and stayed their tell I took this assignment" He says
He smiles at Christian "I know what you mean I hope to fine a love like my Parents and Mark and Peggy had my self some day" he says
He laughs when he hears Ryan still looking at Christian "I hate that when the coffee goes cold he says

She couldn't help but laugh at hearing Ryan complain about the coffee she desided to turn around and give him a bad time about it.
Well. Lt. Ramis sounds like you are working too hard for your own good. I would suggest switching to decafinated it stays warmer longer.
She then took a sip of her wine eating somemore and turning her attention back to Jay.
Sounds like we have somethings in common. I love helm always have. It was my favorit post before becomming a command officer. I guess in a way we are following our parent's footsteps in becoming officers in the first place.
She ate a little bit trying to think of something else to ask him but was drawing a blank.
You can ask me whatever you would like to know Jay. I promass I don't bite. Well at least not hard.
She laughted teasing him a bit.

He smiles at her and laughs at her comment to Ryan and when she says You can ask me whatever you would like to know Jay. I promass I don't bite. Well at least not hard."
He took a bite of his food and a drink "You can't be business all the time so what type of hobbies you like?
He thought of telling her he don't mind the biting but he didn't want her to think he was coming on to her, though the thought crossed his mind this was a get to know you dinner. And She was a Commander and him just a Lt.

She smiled at Ryan's comment he always knew how to keep her on her toes.
Well, my hobbie that I do when I'm not working is train my dog. His name is Rocky. He's a big boy and likes to run alot so I run him and train him to help out around quarters. Unforchanitly I haven't been able to train him to clean yet. She kind of laughted imagining that in her mind.
I train Rock with Chase, Dr. Conner's dog. They're brothers but are a handful. Haven't really had much time to do that lately. If I'm not doing that then I'm reading some book of fiction. Weather it be Roman foklore or Greek mythology or some other mythology. Then if I'm not doing that I'm meeting with crew and getting to know people. Bonding with my crewmates. Some of which I've served with before on other ships and some in which this is the first time I'm serving with them.
She took a drink of her wine and ate somemore.
The Imposters cost the fleet alot of ships. Admerial Helm and others like him were very quick in getting those of us, who's ships were distroyed, back in the fleet. I couldn't be more greatful for that. I find sitting on my thubs not that thrilling.
She had to smile at herself she was rambling.
I'm sorry, I tend to waunder off topic. Just with the current mission we are on it brings up alot of memories and alot of feelings. So, what do you do for hobbies?
She was trying hard not to flurt with him. The thought of hitting on him has crossed her mind but she wasn't sure if it would be looked upon favorably by him. If he would be receptive. After all there was a rather big rank difference that might intimidate him away from considering such things from happening. She knew protical for persuing relations and knew that if he wanted there could be more then just a friendship here. But, for now, she kept it on the friend level. To give him a chance to absorb everything going on around him, and to give her the chance to consider in her mind that it is truely possible to fall in love while in service.

"I hate sitting no my thumbs rather be in the action" he replies as he takes a bite of food

"I like music 20th and early 21st Century. I play guitar sing petty good, I like to cook, Widdle carve things out of wood" he replies as he eats more

She had to smile finding him rather charming.
Sounds like you like to keep busy with your hands. I should show you Rocky sometime. He would keep you on your toes for a while.
She had to laught at that picture and drank somemore finishing her meal.
I do say Mr. Hooper this is rather nice to be out of quarters not doing something offical and just getting to know a very specail man that happens to be on the Polaris.

::Brock entered the Messhall. With all that had gone on, He had forgotten how hungry he was. He saw John and Christina Sitting together and decided to go over and say hello::
Hello, you two. Nice to see you out and about. I hope I', not interrupting. Mr Hooper was I hearing correct when you said you played Guitar? I play a little myself.
I used to have a band back at the Academy. We were a bit loud. Mostly 20th century popular music. The Kommandant loved us.
::He laughed::
Ok if I join you? If you two want to talk in private, that's fine. Mamsan has my usual spot for me, but I thought I'd be sociable.

He was finning he could not keep from looking at Christian then she said Sounds like you like to keep busy with your hands. I should show you Rocky sometime. He would keep you on your toes for a while.
"I'm quite good with my hands he said smiling I would love to see Rocky" Seeing him meant he could he could see Christian again
He finished up his meal as she said I do say Mr. Hooper this is rather nice to be out of quarters not doing something offical and just getting to know a very specail man that happens to be on the Polaris
"Yes it is Christian, and meeting a very special woman on the Polaris" he smiles
He turns his head when he hears "Hello, you two. Nice to see you out and about. I hope I', not interrupting. Mr Hooper was I hearing correct when you said you played Guitar? I play a little myself.
I used to have a band back at the Academy. We were a bit loud. Mostly 20th century popular music. The Kommandant loved us"
He sits strait as rod "Yes Sir I do 20th Century early 21st Century music I like Country the best Sir" he says
He looks at the Captain as he asks "Ok if I join you? If you two want to talk in private, that's fine. Mamsan has my usual spot for me, but I thought I'd be sociable."
"I don't mind Sir" he replies but his eyes were screaming, Sir why now Sir, he looks back at Christian to see what Christian would says, with the look of why he have to come now in his eyes

She smiled seeing the change in posture in Jay. He wasn't use to the Captain like she was.
I wouldn't mind you being sociable Captain. It would do you some good to get out of the office. You are just as bad as I am in socializing with the crew.
She chuckled a bit at the irony of that statement.
Regal plays drums in the same style and erra that you play guitar Jay. Unforchanitly in his old age he forgets to tell people about his tallents outside of being a Doctor.
Just then the comm went off for her and she tapted her comm to see what it was. All that could be heard was barking and some whinning. She had to laugh and then responded back
Its ok boy I'll be home before you run out of food. Possibly with some people to smell.
More barking was heard and then the comm went dead. She laughted somemore.
I'm sorry gentalmen that was Rocky he wanted to make sure that I knew he missed me and that he was doing ok. I'm supprised he didn't hope up on the pinano and start banging on that like he does when I'm in my office. Must not be too late yet.
She was enjoying getting to know Jay and saw the Captain's arrival as an opertunity not only for herself but for him as well. To see that no matter what pipes you wore on your collar there was still the need to scoalize and to be with other people. Deep down inside of her though she was anxious on how Jay was receiving her.

Yep he had done it again.. He had fallen asleep this time the cold coffee went all over the place. The Captain just had to say something at the wrong part of a dream he was having.
The cold Coffee went all over the back of the captain and Ryan was on the floor with a look on his face going I am dead " Sorry Sir let me help you with that" Dumping water on Hooper, and Christina as he tried to dry off the Captain

She didn't react very much to the water on her lap as she was pron to worrying about the welfair of others around her before herself.
Mr. Ramius are you alright?
Her voice was calm as she spoke and she looked at the Captain and Jay to see if they were both ok. She was verbal with Ramius because she knew that he would be exspecting at least a tine bit of a response out of her.
