       one friend they knew would be there for them. It was also the
       reason he had decided to take Maria up on her offer to cook and
       find out just what she had on her mind and again it would also
       let him talk to his friend and the crew to bond without the Co

       Bridge
       Josh returned from the armory after having tested out the
       weapons. He and his brother always believed in being prepared
       for anything.  He noticed he was the only Lieutenant on the
       bridge at the time of his arrival.  He relieved the ensign on
       duty.  "Ensign Hayes status report." The young ensign spoke up.
       "We are enroute to Cardassia IV, no injuries reported, no other
       ships in the sector,  ship systems are in the green.  Josh
       acknowledged the report and relieved him.
       Josh walked towards the captains chair and sat down. He loved
       how comfortable it is. He pulled up the ships schematics on the
       panel on the chair.  Everyone knew their orders so he didn't
       want to give any other orders to conflict with the captains.

       XO's Quarter's
       Maria lowered her head and smiled to the ground when he
       complimented her.
       "You don't look too bad yourself." She said looking up at him.
       "I've never had Caitian wine before..." She said taking the
       bottle from him and placing it on the table. "I can't say Yoka
       fruit is my favourite, so feel free to take them back to your
       quarters." She said smiling at him again and then pulling out a
       chair for him and saying "Please, sit down."while gesturing
       towards the chair.

       KnodwI entered the bridge just a minute behind his brother.  He
       moved over to the Tactical third station.  He tapped the young
       ensign on shoulder.
       I relieve you Ensign
       The young ensign turned and looked at the Klingon and reported
       that nothing on sensors during the watch period.  So KnodwI took
       his post for his watch period.  He had always been an armory
       rat, but sometimes bridge duties had to be made.  His brother
       could see one of KnodwI's weapons attached to him, that was his
       mek'leth.  That was one weapon he always carried no matter the
       situation.  If it had to come to hand to hand combat, that is
       his close quarters choice.

       Bridge
       Josh noticed his brother come into the bridge and relieve the
       ensign he got the status report from.  "You know most people
       don't come into the bridge armed brother. " Josh said making a
       joke.  He got up from the chair and walked back to his brother.
       In a calm low voice.  "If i clear it with the captain,  you up
       for a drill? I'm curious to see the crews reaction time."

       The idea of some drills was a good idea.   Battle simulations
       were one of the things they both did at home before the academy.
       I am for it brother, the captain would be honored to see the
       initiative, that we would do something like that.  I know how
       you are brother, by the book.
       He started to think of some battle situations.

       Josh chuckled a little.  "One of us has to be brother." He said
       as he patted his back twice.  "You have the bridge Lieutenant
       Shepard."  Josh then walked to the captains ready room and once
       the doors closed he tapped his communicator. =^=Lieutenant
       Shepard to captain Dyson. Sir I'm sorry to disturb you,  but
       with your permission i would like to conduct an intruder alert

       Jacob stepped through the door as it opened into his and his

       He took the offered chair all the time looking at Maria as he
       sat there, trying to work out just what he was feeling for her,
       with some reservation he spoke once more. "Maria, there is
       something on my mind, something we need to talk about, over this
       last year I have come to see you as my friend, but lately I have
       been getting the feeling that you are more than just a friend".
       He closed his lips worried he had already said too much, He was
       about to speak once more when the hail came in.

       Josh got his answer from the captain,  he was about to
       acknowledge the hail, but the comm closed rather quickly.  Josh
       then walked out of the captains ready room back on to the
       bridge.  He walked up to his brother and looked at the tactical
       panel and whispered.  "Drill approved." Josh then walked back to
       the captains chair and sat down.  He flipped open and sent a
       text to the tactical station. <Announce intruder alert in the
       following areas.  Transporter Room 1, Cargo Bay 1, Main shuttle
       bay, engineering, and the bridge. > Josh then closed the panel
       and waited for his brother to initiate the drill.

       XO's Quarters.
       Maria looked to B'Ozian and didn't know how to reply. The hail
       from Mr Shepard had helped her in the matter of time thinking of
       ways to respond.
       After B'Ozian had finished talking to Shepard, she looked into
       his eyes and asked "What's different in the way you feel? More
       than a friend... Do you mean like... A sister or... Closer than
       that?"
       After a moment of thinking what to do, Maria looked to the
       bottle of Caitian Wine B'Ozian had brought with him and opened
       it. "You're right, I think a toast will be needed." She said as
       with a little giggle as she poured some into the two glasses on
       the table.
       Truth be told, Maria also had feelings for B'Ozian she didn't
       understand, but it was one thing she had previously been too shy
       to talk to him about.
