Mission:
Operation: Risa!
Location: USS Bonne Chance, Deck 5, Lieutenant Commander McCray's Quarters
Timeline: 2265
After she said goodbye to her trio of friends Fiona stopped to drop some packages off at the local Federation Ex depot. A shawl for her mom, a couple of volumes of Risan poetry for her dad and an assortment of trinkets for her older brothers.
She'd made a habit of sending a package home at every port of call since she'd been in Star Fleet. It was never anything big and always something local.
She'd taken pictures with her PDD of the lovely beach and hotel then pestered her three friends for a group shot together in their replacement suite while they lazed around in the resort togas and a big bowl of popcorn. Copies of those went on a cube for her mom's collection.
After that she made her way back into the section of town where they'd started their adventure. She'd wanted to check on the noodle man Jackie. She didn't expect the friendly mob scene that ensued. The little man had a huge family and it took some time to escape from their wonderfully good natured attention. She came away with all manner of homemade goodies and made promises to stop back by before the Bonaventure left orbit.
Customs was simple, evidently the agents were almost afraid to check starfleet baggage. Fi was really too tired to question her good fortune she just said a silent thank you to the powers that be and stepped on to the transporter pad with a heartfelt sigh of relief.
The halls of her lady were a welcome sight. Fiona stepped off the transporter and breathed in deeply. Fresh paint and fresh cleaners. Her girl was looking good again. She resisted the urge to go to the engine room and turned towards her quarters instead.
Finding the big orange tom asleep in the middle of her bed was a bit of a surprise as was the minor mess the animal had made but she couldn't bring herself to be mad at him, after all she'd left him cooped up in her quarters.
She scooped the cat up and gave him a cuddle " I'm sorry Teaguey... " he rewarded her with a grumpy mew that turned to a purr as she rubbed his ears just so. " Good thing I'd put out water for you and you're a fierce hunter huh?" she cleaned up the now empty dried squid packages while she paid attention to the tom then settled back down on the bed and shared a still steaming container of Jackie's dumplings with him while she told the cat all about the adventures she'd had with her friends.
"I thought Selune was gaen tae take me face off boot she has some sart oov cultural taboo against using her claws" Fi explained to the feline while he tucked in to a shrimp dumpling " Bet you could talk her oot oov thet" she murmered then told him about Yuna and Char's dance " I promised not tae tell anyone boot I figure you kin keep a secret Teague." she sighed and settled back against the pillows full and completely exhausted. Teague's purrs lulled her into closing her eyes and the last conscious thought she had was to wonder if Char had ever gotten a com from her wayward beau.
