[USS Alabama Captain's Quarters]

Rebecka had instructed security to show Captain Fannin the way to her
quarters and she was mixing the meat for the burgers. The veggie
burgers were ready to go and she would cook those in a separate pan.
She would replicate the fries once the burgers were done and already had
the fixings for the burgers ready to go. There was some beer chilling
in the cooler as well as sodas and Rebecka now placed the burgers on the
griddle to cook.

Fannin entered and had a bottle of interesting wine he had received from
the nice lady at a restaurant he had recently visited. "hi, how are you
doing?"

Rebecka smiled as he entered. "Doing great. The burgers will be ready
soon. I'm making a few veggie burgers as well as the regular kind. I
have some plain ones and what I like to call inside out cheese
burgers." Becka said. "Come in and have a seat. T.J. is playing in
his room and is excited about seeing the operations area of the
Station. Selar, his nanny is in her room at the moment."

Fannin was energized buy them smell of dinner, opened the bottle of Wine
and asked for a pair of glasses.

Rebecka reached up and opened a cabinet and pulled down a couple of
glasses and handed them to Fannin then finished up the burgers and
grabbed the fries from the replicator. "If you would rather have a
baked potato I can get you one." She said to Fannin.

"Thank you, I think I'll sample this wine just out of curiosity. The
owner of the chinese Tea room sold it to me... " One sip later Fannin
was pouring it down the sink. "Don't think that stuff is even legal to
sell."

Once every thing was ready she called out "Dinner is ready." and waited
for the others to arrive.

"Maybe you will find this more enjoyable." Becka said grabbing a bottle
of beer from the fridge and handing it to Fannin."Yes that's much
better. It may take me a few to get rid of the taste of that wine,
pretty bad."

"I hope you didn't spend too much on it then." Becka said then moved
over to T.J.'s room and peeked in, "It's time to eat sweetheart and the
captain from the starbase is here." Becka said.

"Kay," T.J. said as he got up from playing with his farm and went to the table.

Becka then moved and knocked on Selar's door, "Are you going to join
us?" She asked.

Selar came out of her mediation. "I shall join you shortly," Selar
said as she rose from the floor.

Rebecka smiled, "This is my son Tuval Junior or as we call him T.J."
Rebecka said.
"T.J. this is the Captain of the Starbase Edward Fannin." she said as
she put fries
and ketchup on T.J.'s plate along with carrot and celery sticks with
ranch dressing.
"Do you want the plain burger or the inside out cheese burger?" She asked him


"Cheese," T.J. said as grabbed a fry.

Becka fixed the rest of his plate and looked at Edward, "Which do you
want to try?" She asked as she gave T.J. his plate.

"I think I'll go for the good old fashioned cheeseburger."

She fixed him the correct burger with all the sides and made one for
herself then opened a beer for herself to have with the meal. "T.J.
is really looking forward to seeing the command center of the
station." Becka said before taking a bite of her food.

"All your paperwork should be complete, take him up there and let him
have a good look around, This is a pretty good house burger."

"Thank you. Secret recipe." Becka answered. "So are things hectic
on the starbase right now?" Becka asked.

"Yes very much so, I've been running around trying to keep a handle on
several things at once. My XO has left so it's been busy." Fannin took
a drink of beer.

"I hope you had a good second officer lined up." Becka said before
tasting the rest of the food and watching T.J. to see if he needed
anything else.

"Yes but she has left the station for a few days also, but I'm hoping
things will settle down soon so I can get to a few other things."

"I'm still waiting for the crew to get moved over and settled in so
thing aren't that crazy here yet." Becka said. "Though I have more
paperwork now after talking with the Admiral. I'm a task group
commander now." Becka said.

"That's what I heard, congratulations. I hope you can get things
sorted out soon. I have seen quite a few star ships roll in here
lately and I'm sure the fleet is concerned about getting them back out
on patrol."

"Thank you." Becka said then looked at T.J., "Is there anything you
want to ask Captain Fannin about the Starbase T.J?" Becka asked.

"No," T.J. said as he happily ate and kicked his feet.

Rebecka laughed and shook her head, "Well when you finish we can take a tour of the ship and station." She said.
