[ Evi Hugo - Judy's Office] Evi's face hurt from smiling so much. It amazed her how much being around the older couple made her happy. They were just delightful. The Romulan hybrid hit a couple of controls on the holo-camera and pulled a large-screen PADD from her bag. Actually, it had two screens, a large one on top and a smaller below. Evi powered it on and carried it to Max and Judy. The photos appeared side by side on the bottom screen, while the first one showed up on the larger one. ' You can check details here,' Evi said, gesturing to the larger photo. ' And see them closer to actual size below and compare them easily.' She'd found some people preferred to look at the enlarged photos for any blemishes or problems while others just wanted to compare the various shots, so Evi had found a way to easily do both according to anyone's preference.

[Judith Eastman(-Williams), PhD & Max Williams - Judy's Office]The couple studied the photos. Of course, Judy was a mature woman, with wrinkles and all, and at this point in their lives, the couple saw little point in trying to conceal it, with photo-editing or anything else. "I quite like this one," Judy indicated a shot with the blue background. "What do you think, honey?""Brings out your eyes," he answered. "One of your best features.""Last time I checked, my husband was my best feature," she replied playfully. "Anyway, let's go with this shot and get on to lunch. The corned beef should be very close to ready."

[ Evi Hugo - Judy's Office] ' I agree,' Evi said, taking the PADD back. ' I like that one best, too.' She saved their preference and took a moment to be pleased at how quick and easy that had been. A session she'd had yesterday had been a terror with a couple who had wanted a dozen different shots, but hadn't been able to make up their minds about anything and had rejected nearly every suggestion Evi had made. Evi made a move to start packing up her things, but paused when Judy said that the food was almost ready. She knew what beef was, but what was corned? Something with corn? Evi shrugged philosophically. Anything Judy and Max made was good, so Evi wasn't worried about not knowing exactly what it was. ' Should I just leave all this for now?' Evi asked, shutting down the background projector. Tag Judith Eastman

[Judith Eastman(-Williams), PhD & Max Williams - Judy's Office -> Kitchen]"Yeah, you can leave it here. No frenzied junior officers running in with reports anymore."Oh, it sure was nice to be out of office. "I can help you finish packing," Max offered, releasing Judy to take care of the food. "Thanks for doing this job for us."Judy echoed Max's sentiment with a nod before walking over to the office suite's kitchen, where, in the steamer, the corned beef was tender and ready. She began to slice it, just right for sandwiches, following the proud culinary tradition of American Jews.

[ Evi Hugo - Judy's Office --> Kitchen] With Max's help, it only took a few moments to break down Evi's equipment and stow it back in her bag before following the older woman into the kitchen area. Evi sniffed the air and hummed appreciation. ' That smells amazing. Some kind of meat, right? But what does 'corned' mean? Evi asked. ' Not that it actually matters,' she added with a laugh. ' I will at least try anything the two of you put in front of me.' Tag Judith Eastman

[Judith Eastman(-Williams), PhD & Max Williams - Kitchen]"The beef is cured with large chunks - corns - of salt," Judy explained. "So, it's not actual corn."Max laid out slices of rye bread, onto which Judy loaded the meat, sliced pickles, coleslaw (pre-made), and mayonnaise. "When it comes to deli meats, you really want them to make the sandwich bulge like this. You gotta be generous," Max explained, motioning at the overflowing sandwiches.

[ Evi Hugo - Kitchen] ' It looks delicious,' Evi said enthusiastically, though her eyes widened at the gibbous sandwiches. She laughed as she took one and stared at it doubtfully. ' I'm having doubts that I'm going to be able to eat that without dropping it all over myself,' she said ruefully. ' I might need to go home for a change of clothes.' Evi waited for Judy and Max before heading into the common area to the dining table. Tag Judith Eastman

[Judith Eastman(-Williams), PhD & Max Williams - Kitchen -> Common Room]"You just need to use a napkin as a bib," Judy advised, just as she had taught her children. "And if you think you have a problem, this is a brand-new white shirt."The couple walked out to the common room and settled down at its dining table, sitting beside each other. There, Judy took her own advice and tucked a napkin into her shirt. "You know, for two years, Judy tried to get set up with a kitchenette in the Starfleet offices, but she couldn't get it done," Max recalled. "And now, immediately, she gets a kitchen."Max was clearly ecstatic about Judy's new job. As she bit down on her sandwich, it was evident that she was just as ecstatic about the juicy beef.

[Evi Hugo - Common Room]
Evi stifled a laugh as she took a seat at the table. Her eyes widened a little as she realised that Judy wasn't joking.
With a resigned shrug, Evi followed suit. If the former captain could stand to look slightly ridiculous where other people could see her, who was she to gripe. And Evi really didn't want to drip food all over her clothes.
She chuckled at Max's comment as she got situated. 'Funny how you can get more done when you aren't the captain.' Then going a bit crosseyed, Evi took the first bite of her sandwich.
