ACTION: Bradley and Corwin get up and leave the mess together.
❙❙ Karlie Waters ::she sat down next to Matthew;: this is some party here. Not like home for me...
Sgt Major Calder (w) I would not be surprised if people are pairing off, given our situation
Boothby I can act as a conduit for the captain, accessing ship's systems faster than the ship's computer can.
Keera (w) well, it's natural.
Capt_DevonCummings ::Watches Corwin and Bradley leave together.::
Matthew Edwards It sure is.
Capt_DevonCummings ::Stands.:: May I have your attention for a moment.
Seamus MacDoughall -- as Alexi is talking to Boothby, Seamus what's a handful of Hershey Kisses beside her plate

Chef JC Gibbs YOUR WELCOME ::he yelled form the kitchen then a string of curses as he forgot the hot pad when removing a pie from the oven::

❙❙ Karlie Waters ::took another bite of food:: Awe, I'm sorry to hear that. ::she said in a sad tone:: I wish I could help make amends.
Sivain -- all right I was wanting to make sure
Capt_DevonCummings Let me think about it, okay? ::Gives her a kiss then heads to to the TL.::
Ens Alexi Michelle ::crosses her arms and raises an eyebrow:: Somehow I am not convinced. I think you could use a hand in here so you can take a minute to breathe
Keera ::nudged Calder:: Ready to go, before we 'are' noticed?
Sivain -- nods his head in agreement
Sgt Major Calder Yeah, we should exit.
ACTION: The next shift starts to enter the messhall.
Keera ::nodded and followed Calder out of the messhall::
Chef JC Gibbs ::smiles:: I'm ok that was the last thing in the oven everything is cooked and as soon as it cools the last thing to serve.
Ens Alexi Michelle ::grabs an apron and ties it on:: I am here to help.. so.. boss... what next?
Capt_DevonCummings ::Gets to the bridge and relieves the deck officer.::
