Love is a many splintered thing, or you’ll know it when you meet just the wrong person:
Well, the meeting with the Captain was a bit different than I expected. I arrived and was voicing my concerns when K, excuse me K'Lynxyl Physician as she wishes to be called, came in. I was about ready to throttle her when the door opened, but she seemed all stove in. I later found that she had been badly bruised in the crash while trying to protect the kids. Damn it! A point for her.
Anyway Captain Lee was a bit smarter than I gave him credit for. He let us go at it for a moment or two, and I discovered that someone had posted cat girl’s dimensions on the ships Infonet. Seems she hadn’t gone to hide after doing her striptease as I thought, but rather headed to that nursery to help the kids there, another damned point for her, and somehow the Captain was responsible for letting the 37DD-32B-24-36 cat out of the bag, so to speak. Anyway the Captain had some sort of picture of himself and Lera in the buff, with him all furred out on junkwater. He sort of accidentally on purpose let a Padd with the pic on it fall off the desk between that woman and myself. She took the bait hook, line, and sinker, not even assuming that it was all a setup. The Captain said that he understood our embarrassment and that we would get over it.
He was right of course. Clumsy, but right. Like all the good and bad in life, this too would pass in time, and with K'Lynxyl Physician, ah screw this. She may want me to call her that to her face, but I’m not going to worry about it here. With K getting a snoot full of what I’m going to get, I feel the books are balanced to some degree. She's also taking a late shift so we will likely not be seeing much of each other, even though I will need to eventually get to know her better to carry out my mission for the Admiral. She is the key to figuring out what Riit is doing and as distasteful as it may be, I’ll need her as a friend to do that.
That June date she mentioned in the letter still worries me as well. What is going to happen then? Will I find out before it is too late to stop whatever it is? I only wish I knew, and the answer will be harder to find now.
Well, watch change is starting, so I’m going to go take a walk. Back in a few.
Well, it was bad, but not as bad as I expected. I did get a bunch of "Half, and Worthless male" comments, but I also got a few compliments as well. Isn’t that a kick in the head? Some people actually think it was a compliment that she was paying me to be upset at my actions!
What the heck am I going to do? And what am I going to do with the peace offerings that several people gave me for her? I’ve got three rubber mice and five balls of yarn sitting on my desk!
