Engineers Louis Bordeaux and Toshiro Yamaguchi were busy with a replicator which was replicating only coffee, croissants and beignets.

“Toshiro,” Louis said as he was examining the microchips, “Some how the chips memory have been damaged. It only can store in the last ones it had replicated. This one was used by Petty Officer Saustain Ardoin.”

“Ah yes,” Toshiro grinned, “The Crazy Canadian. He is the one that plays the fiddle. They said he spilled a cup of hot coffee on the mother board.”

“Well,” Louis says, “What should we do with this replicator.”

“I say we place it in the lower decks galley,” Toshiro suggested.

“Might as well,” Francine interjected,

Lorelei was at a table filled with batteries for the fighter jets. She felt a little sad for the lost of the recent crewmate. “Lieutenant Thor, how do you get use to the death. No matter how many times I experience the lost of a crewmate, I still grieve.”

“Every death affects me differently to be honest,” Thor said with a deep breath. No matter how you deal with it, something happens to trigger a memory. What happen on the USS Nelson years ago still haunts me. I use music to deal with my sadness.”

Lorelei paused as she felt she did not respect Thor’s boundaries. “My cousin Asher was on that ship. He like yourself survived the battle. He lost his left arm. Asher now has a bionic arm.”

“He lost it in the explosion,” Thor said calmly. “He received a Purple Heart for saving us.”

Francine was a table calibrating phasers as she was listening to Lorelei and Thor’s conversation. Keeping quiet, she concentrated on the phasers.

Athena walked in with more phasers. “Francine, which pile is the of the phasers which need to be repaired.”

“The lesser pile,” Francine said pointing to the pile with five left. “I can handle these you bought in. Louis and Toshiro has the bigger work load.”

“Will do,” Athena responded coyly. She walks over to the table where the two engineers were at. Athena could sense the grief every one was feeling. “After the funeral,we are going to need some thing to do.”

Louis thought for a moment. “If we get all of these items fixed, we will have a lot of free time. How about we split up into three teams. One team will be for couples, second team will be singles looking for other singles and last one will be ones who are monastic.”

“That will be wise,” Thor said, “I will have Alice set up the assignments.”

“I suggest you have Alice take notes,” Athena added to her suggestion. She speaks to Thor via their Imzadhi link. ( Everyone in this room are experiencing some level of grief ).

Thor sighed.( I know. I think death sometimes trigger old memories.)

Louis not knowing of what was going on said, “We should be finished within the hour. I say we break out my bottle of Napoleon Brandy.”

They all smiled of the anticipation of drinking actual brandy instead of the replicated kind.
