Ensign Thomas proped Aki up against the wall next to the main entrance into her quarters, doing this they were face to face only inches away from each other. Ensign Mitshiba looked into Elliot's eyes and he could feel himself melting inside, he felt it was the right time and lent forward and passionately kissed her on the lips, Ensign Thomas's stomach tossed around when he felt Akira kiss him back.
Not to rush things too quickly the COO said "Aki it is time you went to sleep, anyway I have to get back to the kids and we do have an early start tomorrow".
"Do you *really* need to go?" Ensign Mitshiba said as she winked at the ET and seductively walked into her quarters.
"You know I would love to stay but we really should make sure that we are doing the *right* thing here and this *is* the *right time*" Ensign Thomas said as he stepped back slowly from Akira's quarters with his eyes still fixed on hers.
"This is the *right* time ET and *you know it*" Aki said to Ensign Thomas is a stern voice and then continued softly "I dont want the same thing to happen that happened last time, think about it Elliot! We get on great, the kids adore me and *you* know how *you feel* when your around me, so where is the problem?"
"Your right!" Elliot said confidently, he then went on to say in a very happy voice "OK, lets do it. You come back to my quarters and stay with me tonight, when the kids see you in the morning we will explain to them that we are going to iron out all and any problems we come up against, I'm sure they will be happy, dont you think?"
"Yes, *Yes* they will be, and it'll be great you'll see. I'll just go and get a couple of things, I'll be right back." Ensign Mitshiba said with a great big smile on her face.
Ensign Thomas leant against the wall with a smirk that spoke in volumes, if anyone was around at this time of the morning to see him. Just then as he was leaning against the wall, a thought came to Elliot. This thought started to concern him, it actually conserned him that much he decided to bring it to the attention of Lt. Cmdr. Enaii.
Elliot tapped his badge and spoke softly "Chief of Operations to Lieutenant Comander Enaii, please respond."
=^= I'm here Ensign Thomas what can I do for you? =^=
"I've been thinking sir, something *doesnt quite add up* with regards to what the sentient Fasham said earlier. *He* said that there would be a ship here by day break and the crew would be happy to help us recover our missing people." Elliot paused for a second then continued confidently and clearly "This is what does not add up, if these people that are willing to help us, are air-breathing, bipedal, *fish* or any other Human/Fish hybrid then surely they will live in the water to some degree, so who are the land living creatures that will be coming in the ship? and how does this Fasham know they will be coming tomorrow? and how did he know that we had people in grave danger? had he been watching? if so why did he not alert us earlier about the cat people? Just so many things dont add up sir."
=^= I understand your concerns Ensign and *I will bring them up* with the Captain in the morning, however please can you now get some rest and we will speak about this again tomorrow =^= the Lt. Cmdr said in an instructive tone.
"Yes sir, I will do that and thank you for your time sir, Ensign Thomas out." Elliot had just finish saying these words when Akira walked through her door into the corridor COO was standing in, she was holding a spare uniform and a silk long black piece of clothing which Elliot took to be her night dress. "Travelling light arent we?" said ET smiling.
"I dont need alot, do I?" Aki said in a seductive tone raising her eyebrows with a smirk.
