Mission: Plaga Navis
Location: Ship's Lounge

After the battle, Zack was given some off time, so he headed to the ship's lounge for a drink and maybe some company.

When he arrived, he looked around. Many of the crew were there. He walked to the bar and ordered a beer and after the drink arrived, he looked around the room.

He spotted a new face of a female ensign. Carrying his drink, he walked over towards the ensign. When the ensign looked up and saw he coming, she stood up and left, leaving her drink.

Thinking nothing of it, he set his sights on another lady and started towards her table. She too left.

There were 3 women sitting together at a table. 2 lieutenants and an ensign. When he reached the table, he indicated the empty seat. "This seat taken?" One of the lieutenants replied, "No." And when Zack went to sit, the three of them got up and left.

Was fate trying to tell him something?

Zack returned to the bar and sat on a stool. A guy sat next to him and ordered a drink. "How you doing?" the guy asked. "Not too good, you?" Zack replied. "Just hear for a drink, then off to the sack. Hey, here the latest scuttlebutt?" the guy said. "No." said Zack. The guy sipped his drink. ""Seems that most of the women on the ship have decided to make sure one of the new guys on the ship doesn't get any.....romance. Seems he came on too strong and tried to get all the eligible, or even some of the non-eligible, ladies in the sack. Wouldn't to be that guy, uh?" The guy looked at Zack, then drained his drink. "Well, my day is over." and he left.

Zack sat at the bar for some time after the guy left. By the end of his 5th beer, he got up and headed to his quarters.
