Lounge

[Sergant Thomas Kinsely]

PFC Thomas Kinsely walked into the lounge, in his Marine duty uniform, and looked around to see who all was there. Standing tall at 6’3”, medium athletic built with brown hair and eyes. It would seem that it was almost empty at this time of the night, but since that, he was on shore leave; this would be a good place to see if more people would show up. He went over to the bar to order a glass of Scottish ale. His accent gives way that he was from Scotland, Earth. A few moments later, the bartender would come back with Thomas’ drink. Thomas thanked him as he took his glass and walked over to a table next to the window. He carefully placed his drink on the table as he pulled the chair back to sit down. After sitting down, Thomas picked up his drink and took a gulp before gazing at the stars through the window.

He would think about his home in Scotland and the passed mission that he was on with the USS Vindicator. Thomas also thought about the next mission could be. Along with the latest news about his mother showing up on USS Terrasect, the same ship that his father, MCpt Duncan Kinsely, would be on. A few days had passed that he had heard from his parents. As Thomas continued to look out the window at the stars, he would continue to drink his ale.

She followed several personal walking at some form of airlock that may lead her out side of the Terrasect. These people that she was following had brought her to Com HQ at a lounge. She looked around and it was very different but oddly still recognizable to what she is used to. She walked up to the bar and sat down next to quite attractive man (Thomas Kinsely). He wasn’t really her type a bit too clean looking and the build a bit too big. Ann’Knox shrugged and sat a seat away from the guy.

She noticed that he was looking at the opposite direction of the starships that were dock there. His eyes were lost in the stars she assumed and lean to her left towards him. ”What’s there in the stars that seems so interesting?.”

While waiting she removes her long leather gray coat. That had exposed her selvesless sweater and white tank top. Her top stopped just below her breast where her nice trimmed tummy was uncovered. As the lower half of her was covered by skirt and long baggy pants and booths…also around her neck was a chocker necklace that a decretive chain leading it under her top and between her chest.

As Thomas was gazing out the window at the stars, he heard a woman’s voice talking to him. He quickly turned to look at her and straighten himself up in the chair. He had not noticed that she had walked into the lounge and had sat away from him. He smiled at her as he took note of what she looked like and what she was wearing.

“I was thinking about home and a mission that I had recently come from, but I was mostly thinking about my parents and my brother and sisters. Those stars can be memorizing if you star at them long enough.”, Thomas had said with a Scottish accent. Thomas indicated towards the stars before he looked back at her with those attractive eyes and smile at her.

Thomas thought that she was very attractive and something that he could not put a finger on at the time being. He suddenly realized that he had not properly introduced himself to her.

“Pardon me for not introducing myself first. I am Private First Class Thomas Kinsely, Combat Marine on the USS Vindicator.”, Thomas had said to her with that attractive smile that he has, placing his drink on the table. The smile he had was always the one that he gave and it was a Kinsely inherited trait.

“Perhaps I could buy you a drink.”, he continued to say. Thomas would make sure that he was not standing too close to her to where she would feel uncomfortable. Although he had found her to be attractive, he was more of a gentleman when it comes to introducing himself to a woman. He stood next to the empty stool that was next to her.

Ann'Knox sat there feeling a bit self conscious showing her arms and her tummy like that. Also having her top being so tight on her skin. She wondered if the guy had notice that she wasn't wearing a bra. Well, she pondered that she was only taking the advice of half sister, Kate. Well, her sister was rather a slot so she wasn't sure to exactly take her word for word. She somewhat glanced at him but played it cool. Saw him at the corner of her eye straightening his strong posture and turning towards her. He was smiling at her and she slowly turned to have a better look then turn back. She thought 'wow, boy has a grin that GK would die for.' Also she noticed that he looked her down so she pondered and wish Kate was here so she could say to her, 'see men of your type finds me cute.'

Thomas in his Scottich accent replied, "I was thinking about home and a mission that I had recently come from, but I was mostly thinking about my parents and my brother and sisters. Those stars can be memorizing if you star at them long enough.', He indicated towards the stars before looking back towards Ann'. Ann'Knox now looking at his face as he spoke noticed that he smiles a lot and carries him self as a pretty boy. She likes what she sees but just wished he was a bit smaller but she loves guys larger then her self. She wanted more of a tattoo bad boy with more hair on the face but this dues just fine.

She kept her eye on him and he was still had those eyes on her. He then spoke again, "Pardon me for not introducing myself first. I am Private First Class Thomas Kinsely, Combat Marine on the USS Vindicator.' Not noticing that she does this but when she ponders she makes a face as if she lost in her own world. Ann' thought to her self, 'Kinsely... Kinsely. I know that name... Duncan Kinsely.' She made a low, "Mmmmm..." she pops out of her thought and heard Thomas say, "Perhaps I could buy you a drink."

"Oh PLS, that would be nice. Anything would be nice. She was kinda uneasy but she liked him so she spoke in a normal way but having bit of the words in British and Irish accents. As he was doing that she couldn't let go of the thought that Duncan might be related to him maybe or it was all in her head. She turn to him quickly and said, "Do you know of an older man by the name of Duncan? Kin...sely?"

She sat there kinda hyper but yet not so noticeable but there. She started kinda rubbing with her left hand on her neck following the patterns of her sepa (reddish brown color) tattoo. As the other hand playing with the 'up side down cross' near her chest as she waited.

[Sergant Thomas Kinsely]

Thomas gave his signature Scottish smile to her as he turned to the bartender to order a drink for the young and attractive woman ( Ann’Knox ) that was there. As the bartender nodded and went to retrieve a drink, Thomas looked back at her when she asked him if he knew someone by the name of Duncan Kinsely.

“Yes… Yes… I sure do know someone by that name. He so happens to be my father.”, Thomas had said as the bartender came back with the drink and placed it in front of the lady. He wondered how she might have met his father, but all this time, he could not help himself to know more about her as well. He could tell that it would be tough to get to know her. He could tell that she is likes to play it hard to get. A kind of woman he was attracted and drawn to.

“How were you able to meet my father?”, Thomas said. He paused briefly before speaking up again. “What would your name be? An attractive young lady, like you, should have a name.”, he said, still looking closely into her eyes with those appealing Kinsely eyes and smile of his. Memorized by how she looked and how she is portraying herself.

Thomas picked up his glass and took a drink of his ale, all the while, still gazing at her. When he had picked up his drink, it had made his sleeve to pull up a bit to reveal a tattoo of the Kinsely coat of arms and the Starfleet Marine Semper Fi logo on his forearm. He slowly placed his drink back down onto the bar as he would listen to her. Watching her every movement and listening to how she would speak towards him. He wondered if she held any interest in him, but he would find that out in due time. Thomas would like to get to know her more and would hope that she felt the same.

While he was getting her the drink he had replied with, "Yes... Yes, I sure do know someone by that name. He so happens to be my father." At this point she was at a 'wow and huh' with the things that happen to her its always odd. In everything on how she got here to her having issue on the Terrasect and now running in the son of a kind man she had met. She speaks and then he does, "Thank you... "Yes were you able to meet my father." As Thomas said and paused briefly before speaking up again. "What would your name be? An attractive young lady, like you, should have a name."

After Thomas had asked of her name she was kinda taken back as in she renoticing that he was hitting on her. As she was too busy understanding the relation of Duncan and he. "Oh well thank you and my name is Ann'Knox. You can call me by ether Ann or Knox. What works for you. I met your father on board the USS Terrasect just a few hours ago." Ann'Knox wasn't sure weather he was listening to her cause the man wouldn't stop looking at her. She watched him lifted up his sleeve showing the tattoo of the Starfleet Marine Semper Fi logo. She laughed suddenly but really tried not to from seeing the tattoo she wasn't so impressed but she found it very adorable that he trying to be bad ass. At this point she getting use to of the good boy and smiling thing. She can get used to him but never know what will happen next since life for her is odd.

[Sergant Thomas Kinsely]

Thomas smiled at her when she had thanked her for the drink and the compliment. He was, of course, trying to hit upon her, but he wonders well of a job he was doing. “You are welcome, Ann. You may call me either Thomas or Tom.”, Thomas had said as he continued to listen to her. “I doubt two hours is enough to know what kind of man my father is, but he is a great man, despite his imperfections.”

Thomas suddenly heard her laugh and noticed that it was because that it had to do with something with his tattoo. He would also laugh along with her of how he was acting and then would place his hand on the back of his neck.

“I have to admit, it is quite funny of how I am acting. Trying to impress someone, who I do find very attractive, that I have just met and I am probably doing it poorly, too.”, Thomas had said to her with that continuous smile. He was more of a honest person, but easy going, despite his good looks and dexterity. He was more described by his friends as just, sociable, refined, accommodating, kind, fair, diplomatic, likable, indecisive (but very rare at times), respectful, and artistic.

“How were you able to meet my father?”, Thomas would ask of her. It was quite clearly that he was interested of how she meet his father, how she came onto the Terrasect, more about whom she was and where she is from.

She felt kinda bad making him feel embarrassed for the tattoo and thought it was cute on how he was going about it. As then for his question on how she met his father that was another matter and hard to say. She pondered on if their ship had picked up her fighter and the light show she put up when she arrived and took out the remains of her main ship. Ann' thought that would have trully scare him away and she was more likely to have told him how she got there too. Well, Kate told her many times to not always tell the truth just leave out the freaky stuff. She sat there pondering and she was pretty bad on showing that she was trying to think of something to say. She would start to talk then stop then try again then stop. when finally she spoke, "Well... how... Lets just say I came in with a boom and your father was the one to greet my 1st time being on a federation starship." She looks at him with no idea how his gonna react or say to that.

[Sergant Thomas Kinsely]

Thomas calmly picked up his glass and took the last drink of his ale and looked at her with that signature smile that he had when he first smiled at her. He could tell by the way she talked and how she portrayed herself that it must have been a very big boom.

“Sounds a lot like my father. He always wants to make sure that new ones are greeted once they are boarded. I would not be surprised if you had impressed my father. ”, Thomas said as he placed his empty glass on the bar. “I am currently on shore leave and I know that Terrasect should be leaving soon, but I am wondering if we could exchange transmission from time to time. I would like to get to know you more.”

Thomas did hope that she would say yes, but he would respect her decision either way. He had found himself quite drawn to her, but he could not put his finger on it. Thomas would like to take his time to find out who she is and where they can continue from here.

"Yeah that would be nice to talk to some sweet for a change. Well, trying to contact me on the Terrasect I feel would be difficult. I'm not exactly a crew member...here would be the best way...this is a direct and secure frequency." Ann'Knox pressed one of the round tattoo on her forearms. Apart of the metal armor came out but not too noticeable. She then took a piece of it or rather a small device from it and gave to him. As she was putting it in his hand she made sure that she was touching his palm in the process. "Just talk in to this...like a commbage it acts as one and also a message recorder for when you would like to send me a greetings. As will I...do the name." She takes the glass that he provided and drank its in entirely as she sat there and smiled. "Oh think I should be going, the Terrasect officers maybe looking for me...

[Sergant Thomas Kinsely]

Thomas carefully looked at the small communicator that Ann had placed in his palm and looked back up at her when she told him how to use it. He returned the smile when he saw her smile as well. He was quite happy to hear that there is an ability to communicate with her when he is on shore leave and during off duty hours. When Ann mentioned that she had to be going, he would stand up and offered his hand to her to hold. Of course, Thomas did not expect her to take his hand, but it would be a gentleman for him to offer his hand to her.

“If you would like to, I would walk with you towards the airlocks of the Terrasect are located at.”, he had said to her.

“I will not be like the other guys who do not call a lady after their first meeting. You will definitely hear from me.”

Thomas knew that this was not technically a date, but he would hope that there would a possibility that they would. For the time being, it is better to take it slow, so that they both would get to know each other. Thomas had an express interest in her and the wanting to know everything about her. He still had that smile on his face that would be a knock out to die for.

Ann'Knox is feeling a bit distracted from here lost of her crew but meeting Duncan's son was nice. She could see that he was a good father if Thomas turned out the way he did then he is (like her father). She takes his hand as he helps her out of the seat and out to the airlock to the Terrasect. She realized that's he hadn't ask anything about him. Since they are still together and the airlock to the ship is a bit far a few 'Q & A' wouldn't hurt and is nice to know more of him. Since his really interested in communicating with her.

"Oh... why don't you serive with your father on the same vessel? I serve with mine for the most part but not my last vessel... As she looks at his eyes while they walk.

[Sergant Thomas Kinsely]

Thomas helped her out of her seat and walked with her towards the airlock. As they were walking towards the airlock, Ann’Knox had asked him why he does not serve on the same vessel as his father. He did wished to serve on the same vessel as his father, but there were a few regulations that would prohibited that.

“Although I would like to serve on the same vessel with him, but there are certain regulations about sons and fathers (who are both Starfleet marines) serving on the same vessels. The relationship between a son and a father may hinder them during the most critical part of a mission. Not saying that a relationship between a father and son is bad, just that, during any given mission, some things may be over looked to where there is a failure in a mission.”, he had said to her as they continued to walk.

Thomas noticed Ann’Knox looking at his eyes and he looked at hers, taken note that there was something more special about her. He found her eyes quite memorizing to him.

“Is there anything you would like to know more about me? If you have any questions about me, ask away.”, Thomas would smile at her.

Ann'Knox blanked out for the moment of what type of questions she wanted to ask Thomas. She had hopped that when she popped in to this reality she had ran in to his ship rather then where she is now. she also thought they both had similarities and it just about the same differences. His a family guy as she a family girl but his family seems sound as hers is not so together as she wanted. Suddenly it hit her that back home is where she needs to be. Her clan and her family needs the data she had gathered to maybe end this civil war. Thomas waiting for her to answer, if Ann' had any question but quite frankly she was still at a blank she was so distracted by her duties as a Lord to the Dead Court. It was hard to also think of what ifs with Thomas...in her ideal world she could see how Tom and she gets closer and also finding away home. She slightly smiled, "I had some thoughts but it seemed to escape me. Sorry I have a lot on my mind. Perhaps when we talk over comm' we'll get to that... Ann'Knox zoomed out slightly still firmly holding on to Thomas's hand. She thought that this would be odd to bring up to Duncan that she had met his son but wasn't sure to go there since she wasn't to leave the Terrasect.

[Sergant Thomas Kinsely]

Thomas returned the smile at her at the thought of them talking over the comm that she had given him. He had thoughts of what it would be like actually getting to know her on a more serious level. He understands that this was their first time meeting, but in time, he hoped that something positive and romantically would go forward between them.

“I would definitely love to hear more about you and what is on your mind. Perhaps you can talk to me through the comm after you get on board the Terrasect.”, Thomas had said to her as he left up her hand kissed the back of her hand.

His eyes had never left looking into her eyes. He would let her, if she could, read what his eyes were saying. He really did want to know what she was thinking and everything about her. Thomas had thought what their future will hold.
