Timeline: 0900Hrs, December 10th, 2390

Commander Torilla Yamaguchi had slept well the previous evening and thus was generally amused and cheerful but this meting was vexing her in ways her children never did, she sighed as she seemed unable to focus on anything. "I hate this endless shit.... Starfleet keeps fucking us over and we're expected to do work with no dock time and no spare parts...."

"Yeah..." Zara sighed gloomily as she debated lighting up one of her cigars. As an engineer herself, it was a very sad set of events.

Torilla sighed softly as she placed the PADD back on the table. "Admiral Brooks is going to get my boot up his ass if he keeps this up.."

"I don't think it's entirely his doing, but yeah. I agree." Zara put her cigars up when her eyes looks at Torilla's stomach. Then she rubbed her fingers through her hair and ran through an internal check of what she could do to rid herself of the stress. "Thing is, Torilla? We aren't the Enterprise. We're it's ugly redheaded step sister. That Enterprise makes fun of in front of the other kids. And I've no fucking pull with anyone to get anything done."

"I keep hearing it but the lack of spare parts and dock time is telling," the larger woman responded. "But.... I do have connections and favors among various people in Starfleet.."

"You'd think after taking out a super powerful, demented telepathic pirate leader? That folks in the fleet would be happy to assist us," Zara sighed irritably. "But no. We're still toerags and miscreants that no one wants to deal with... And that is Brooks' fault."

It was unclear if Zara heard the XO's offer. But it was very clear that the current status of the ship depressed the Trill.

Torilla raised an eyebrow before she reached over, grasping the smaller woman as she pulled her onto her lap. "Relax..." she commented as she coiled her arms around the other woman's torso. "I've spoken to April Yamaguchi... she's going to help us..."

"Why?" Zara asked, confusion littering her face, almost as though she had taken a Nalla pill. "I've not met her before. She owes me nothing."

"But she is kin to me." Torilla responded with a smile. "She'll help me because I asked her for it." she responded. "you're not used to this... are you?" Torilla simply gripped the smaller woman tighter as she cuddled her.

"Not when I'm sober," Zara had to laugh at that. "Don't really have much time for any sort of friendships... But I'd like to work on forming a friendship with you at some point."

"You are too hard on yourself." Torilla responded. "I have no objections but... you do need to get out more.... let your crew seeing you care.... while I know that you care.... they don't..." she explained as she was now almost nose to nose with Zara.

"It's kind of hard to do that when I have to read through twenty accident and behavioral reports a day," Zara sighed in frustration. "But you're right. I suppose I'll visit engineering tomorrow."

Even that thought depressed her. To know she was a good engineer and realize the red collar she wore always came first, no matter what itch she had to jump in and help out.

"So we need to get you a yeoman to handle your paperwork then."
Torilla responded evenly.

"I didn't like knowing I got you for an XO without meeting you. Made me bitter, really." Zara looked up at Torilla rather apologetically. "I wish I had given you a fair chance at first."

Torilla didn't know why she did it, but she ran a hand through Zara's hair. "Shhh... Its alright." she responded in a soothing tone. "I've had worse.."

"When was the last time you got laid?" Zara finally asked, as this level of cuddling with a woman was a bit weird for her.

Torilla paused as she raised an eyebrow. "Honestly... far too long ago.." she admitted quietly. "Why do you ask?"

"Well I never seen you pick other tiny women up and put them in your lap," Zara laughed in kind.

"You make a good point." Torilla responded quietly as a smile escaped her lips. "My daughter is a little bigger then you are..." she added.

"So what are you doing tonight?" Zara asked with a huge grin.

Torilla raised an eyebrow. "I'm watching Rachael compete in her exercises against the rest of the Air wing.." she responded. "It would be better if you asked if I was going anything for the next few hours.." Torilla responded. "That is....if you are asking what I think you are asking."

"Oh I am most assuredly asking that," Zara winked.

Torilla regarded the smaller woman. "I've never actually been with another woman before.... and I am pregnant..." she paused. "but to answer your question.... nothing whatsoever."

"Good. Let's go to my place then," Zara practically purred and took Torilla by the hand to lead her to the Trill's quarters.

Torilla gently placed the smaller woman on the deck before she stood up, she then shrugged and followed Tane out the door.

"You'll enjoy this. Cool, low-running whirlpool sex," Zara spoke happily as she led the way to the lift.

Torilla raised an eyebrow. "Okay.." she sounded dubious as she had not known the term before.

"CO's quarters," Zara barked to the computer, and began to unzip Torilla's jacket. "Trust me."

Torilla watched her with her dark brown eyes. "Okay.... this will be educational..." she paused as she felt her jacket slide off her broad shoulders.

"Relax," Zara laughed in kind.

Torilla raised an eyebrow as the turbolift doors opened. "How far is your place?" she inquired.

"Two doors down," Zara snickered.

"Okay." and with that the two women, one small and one large moved off down the hallway and within seconds, were inside Zara's quarters.'
