3rd POV
Tendi: And Done!
Tendi just finished doing her work on her tablet where we see Mariner, T'lyn, and YN are also finishing up their own work on their tablets.
Tendi: (Chuckles.) All the diseases blocked by the transporter biofilter after last week's shore leave, have been cataloged. Next up is....Nothing?
Tendi: That can't be right. There's always something to do.
Mariner: Well, one of the great things about being a lieutenant JG, is it's actually possible to finish your work.
YN: Man, it almost feels too easy when you think about it.
T'lyn: Indeed.
Tendi: We should do something fun!
T'lyn: Celebrating a lack of purpose is illogical.
Just then, the captain just arrive.
Mariner: Hey, Ma. What up?
Freeman: I have exciting news for Lieutenant Tendi. You've been granted leave to visit your family on Orion, effective immediately.
Tendi: Oh, wow. My family...
Freeman: Apparently, your sister is getting married. Congratulations.
Mariner: Wait, wedding, sister, parents? Tendi, I-I'm sorry, I'm freaking out this is more backstory than I have ever been able to get out of you.
Tendi: Oh, that's okay, Captain Freeman. I don't need to go. I mean, there's so much work to catch up on.
Tendi laughs weakly before Freeman speaks.
Starfleet is eager to demonstrate goodwill, after the recent disappearance of an Orion ship.
Tendi: Oh, right. If it's to help Starfleet, I... I guess I could go.
Freeman: Thank you, Lieutenant.
Captain Freeman leaves before Tendi sighs.
YN: Hey, you okay, Tendi?
Tendi: Yeah, I-I just haven't been home in so long. Plus, they want me to be in the ceremony, which means writing a speech. Oh, and of course they'll want photos of all of us in our belly dancer outfits.
YN: It'll be fine, Tendi. I'm sure your family can help you with that.
T'lyn: Hmm. It is rare for outsiders to observe Orion rituals. May I accompany you on this mission? The High Council would find my report enlightening.
