Appointment after Appointment

[Lt. Cmdr. Joseph Munroe]

Joe sat behind the desk in his office once again. He'd finish yet another round of appointments with the crew. Some had requested the meetings, others had been ordered to do so. The latter were often the hardest, for so many times they simply didn't want to be there.

Stretching, he queried the time on the computer. He hadn't realized it had gotten so late. From what he'd read of the upcoming mission briefing they should arrive at Evadne within a short amount of time now. He wondered what the people of the planet would be like. From the briefing he'd concluded that his services would not be needed on the planet, but perhaps might serve the negotiations onboard the ship better. Either way, where he was stationed was truly about to the command team.

Shutting down his terminal, Joe reflected over the past few weeks. Weeks. It was so hard to believe that they had been traveling together now for a few weeks already. It seemed as though it was only yesterday that they had all just arrived, and now it was hard to imagine life without some of the people he'd gotten to know on the Nike...and there were still so many others yet to know!

Pushing back from his chair, Joe moved around his office, cleaning up and re-arranging a few things before planning to head out for the afternoon.

Tag Any

[Major Heath Ellerton]

The door to the office opened with a swoosh, revealing the face of one smiling marine.

"Joe," Heath called, walking up to the other man and catching him on the back. "You hitting the gym again today?" That trademark half smirk of his showed how much he relished the idea of joining the other man in the gym again. Heath and Joe had happened upon each other in the gym a few days ago and had developed a rather healthy competition together. Knowing the counselor tended to go there around this time, he'd opted to seek him out rather than wait and see if the other man was planning on a hearty workout.

"So, whaddya say?" He asked, inclining his head towards the door.

Tag Joe, then End Heath (if appropriate)

[Lt. Cmdr. Joseph Munroe]

Joe heard the door open and he felt a sigh coming on. He'd hoped to get away from his office for a bit, but it looked as though he was stuck. That was, until he looked up. He blinked back his surprise to find the marine in his office.

His shock soon turned into a sly smile. He'd been working out beside the other man for the past few weeks. It seemed they were on similar schedules. That or Heath lived and breathed the gym. Either way, Joe didn't mind. They had found the 'competition' invigorating and had even tried a few new workouts in the past few days. It appeared that perhaps Joe had made a friend in the other man. A surprise, consider he was a marine, but a good one none-the less.

"Sounds like a plan, Heath. I'll meet you there in a few." He watched the other man leave, and after a few last minute moments to tidy the space, Joe headed out to get his gear and meet Heath at the gym.
