[Blue Beta - Promenade] [Approx one month after Taming The Shrew] Having arrived earlier in order to discuss last minute details with both Leanna and Jem Sparkles. Thea was looking forward to hosting the pre contest reception in the Blue Beta. Besides it was nice to finally have a little downtime, after spending the last couple of weeks getting the station ready for such a prestigious event. Yes at times it had felt like a logistical nightmare, what with the construction of the concert venue and ensuring that all the performers and their entourages were accommodated. At one point the XO wasn't sure if they could pull it off, as Front Ear wasn't exactly built for such things like Galaxyvision but with a lot of effort, planning and potential for making the station more prosperous, the crew, Jeffy and the organisers had succeeded. So tonight was just as much about celebrating their achievements as it was about welcoming the contestants to Front Ear. Invites had gone out across the station to any and all who wanted to attend and she couldn't fault Security or Lea and her team for their organisational skills to make tonight a reality. Thea had also went for a less regimented dress code which read as no dress uniforms for the crew in attendance. Even Security were asked to don civilian attire to make them less obvious, in the hope to make this as relaxed as possible but with the added assurity that any potential situation would be dealt with immediately. So here she was, dressed in a gown that had been made specially for tonight, waiting to greet their guests. Of course a very special person was missing but she would tell him all about it when she saw him next. Her and Isaiah's relationship had certainly grown stronger, especially after her unpleasant reunion with her past on her last mission in charge. It had left her shaken but luckily it had ended the way it had, with them all returning home. She also didn't envy the Mac's current assignment either as she stood near the entrance, accepting her drink of choice graciously as the music showcasing the contestants began to play over the sound system.

[Blue Beta - Leanna's Office] Having spoken with Thea and dealt with the last minute details for the party. Leanna had retreated into her office in order to get ready, rather than return to her quarters. As much as she was looking forward to socialising and everything that came with being a contestant. Leanna was definitely beginning to feel the nerves, although there was one difference this time and that was having Riyo by her side. His support ever since she had agreed to take part in her second Galaxyvision had been unwavering, allowing her to draw strength from it, whilst enabling her to be more daring with the song choice. Plus it just seemed so fitting for who she was now, how much better she felt and in some ways, it also reflected her relationship. That's what made it so perfect and yes she maybe a little nervous at the moment but she just had to think about stepping out on stage tomorrow with the band. Feeling somewhat better, Lea finished getting ready and prepared to go out and mingle. But first a small drink as she poured two glasses of spring wine and handed one to her date for the evening. " To us and having fun".

[Mika Kobayashi's quarters --> Blue Beta Bar & Grill, Front Ear Station]
"I guess I nailed it? What do you think?" Asked Mika to her mechanical arm as she looks at her reflection. While her choice of outfit for the event is not really her usual one, she figured that it's also not usual for such an event to happen in such a place and definitely not usual for her to be invited in one. Going the extra mile in the clothing department was an option that she took. "Fancy enough? I guess? Well, Dresses are a no, no so this will suffice. This should be appropriate right? It's my first time attending one anyway so, yeah." She thought to herself. "C'mon you metallic piece of awesomeness, let's enjoy the festivities.
She went out and proceeded to the Blue Beta were the festivities are to be held.
"I guess everyone is in a festive mood. I can actually feel it in the air." A few minutes has gone by and soon, Mika was inside the bustling Blue Beta. There sure were many faces around her, socializing with one another. Some of them, Mika recognized as her past patients and acquaintances.
"Well then, I guess this is it! Hmmm where to start, where to start? I guess the bar is always a good option." Mika knows that the Captain won't be there because of the Caldonia mission, however, she knows that Leanna will be there and so does Mr. Turbolift Lover himself, Van Elske, because they will be onstage during the contest itself.
"And those two aren't here yet. But wait..." Mika made a bee line towards a person she obviously knows.
"Looking really good tonight Dr. Baker." Said Mika to the CMO herself.

[Lt. Paawin Riyo - Blue Beta - Lea's Office]Riyo sat patiently while Lea bustled around, unable to keep his eyes off her even if he tried. It had taken him far less time to get ready, even with the extra effort he put in for the special evening. Black slacks were topped with a deep blue button down that brought out the color of his eyes, and he'd left an extra button undone below the collar solely for her benefit. The sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, and the black vest was entirely unbuttoned, revealing his casual nature even in the formal setting. And at the last minute he had remembered to put on the silver Bajoran earring. Even with the extra effort, he still knew that all eyes would be on her, and that was exactly what he wanted. When she turned with two glasses of wine, he smiled and stood, stepping over to her and accepting the glass she handed him. "To a wonderful evening," he replied, taking a small sip before giving her a gentle yet loving kiss. "You look amazing, and you'll do great." It was a good idea for them to have the party the day before the contest. She'd have a chance to relax and get to know her audience - and her competition - without worrying too much about an imminent performance. Though he knew she was nervous anyway, and hoped his own confident calm would be reassurance for her.

[PO3 Jovireh Velal - Front Ear Promenade - Blue Beta]Jovireh really wasn't sure how she felt about not being assigned to the mission to Caldonia. With the way the last several missions had gone, part of her was relieved to have a break. But at the same time, because of how the last several missions had gone, she worried about what might happen, and she wouldn't be there to be help. She'd also felt her skills in cultural anthropology might be useful to the delegation, but when she'd been informed that she would instead be working the Promenade during the biggest event the station had ever hosted... Well, she couldn't exactly be mad about that opportunity and sign of faith in her abilities and experience. The order to be in civilian clothes had given her pause, and she'd spent entirely too much time in front of the replicator trying to decide. Unlike the last time she'd worked a 'civilian attire' assignment, she wasn't required to be a different person, so she'd opted to leave the leather outfits hanging in her closet. Although they did look good on her... Instead she finally settled on slacks that would allow for greater movement, a sleek halter-style top, and a jacket. The latter was solely to conceal the phaser that was holstered on her left side. She hated cross draw, but sometimes it was necessary. In the right jacket pocket she hid a kubaton, just in case. After her phaser failed in the field, she never went on duty without some form of martial weapon on her. It wasn't exactly Starfleet standard, but it wouldn't get her court martialed either. The Blue Beta was already quite busy when she arrived, and her eyes did a swift sweep to gauge the crowd. So far everyone was having a good time. That was a bonus. Approaching the entrance, she stopped by Thea and a woman she didn't recognize. "All set and hoping for a quiet night," she told the XO with a smile, before turning to the other woman. "I don't believe we've met. I'm Jovireh Velal." She introduced herself, offering her hand for the stranger to shake.

[Lixx Van Elske - Blue Beta Bar & Grill, Front Ear Station]
"Because all the girls go crazy about a sharp dressed man! Oh Yeah!" Exclaimed Lixx, arms up in the air, blonde hair flowing, as he made his so called "rockstar" entrance. While most just knew him as the owner of the recently opened The Scorching Lixx burger joint nearby, some, mostly female humans and orions in their 30s, knew of his rather short but explosive, flash in the pan career many years ago.
The females did not waste their time. The night has just started and Lixx already has three girls trying to get his attention. "Hands off the merchandise sweetheart. Everyone will eventually get their turn!" The night is young and the event hasn't even started yet but everyone was already busy socializing. Just the way Lixx wants it.
"Oh daddy, this is going to be a doozy!" While he already has a handful of people(girls) to socialize with already, Lixx's eyes still wandered around, trying to look for some familiar faces.
"There's a bunch of those Starfleet folks around here. I am pretty sure that doctor is here somewhere."

[Blue Beta - Promenade] Even from her strategic vantage point just inside the main doors, Thea could tell that the party was going to be popular. Something that the XO was very pleased to see, especially now that there was no risk of the celebrations being interrupted by Caldonian shrews or some other mishap. Pushing that thought out of her head, Thea then took a healthy sip of her drink, before resuming her Hostess duties. Again she felt the pull of Isaiah not being here but since she had sent him a photo of her outfit, she was sure that he was missing her as much as she was. Still she wasn't going to wallow in self pity, not when Jem Sparkles whispered in her ear, making the Doctor grin wickedly before the Drag Queen was surrounded by admirers. This job definitely had its advantages as she was then approached by her newest doctor Mika. " Thank you, Mika and so do you" she said warmly as they were then joined by Jovireh. " Excellent and let's hope so Jovireh" Thea replied, returning the smile as Jov introduced herself to Mika.

Neither had the purposefully left open buttons on the shirt that complimented his eyes, which was definitely having a positive effect on his Girlfriend. Despite the nerves that were still simmering under the surface, being able to have this private moment with him, had certainly been the right decision. He always knew how to calm and reassure her and as he moved over and accepted the glass from her. Leanna couldn't help but grin as he made a toast and kissed her lovingly. " Yes to a perfect evening and thank you Imzadi" she replied softly as she gazed into his eyes and took a sip of wine.

[Blue Beta Bar & Grill, Front Ear Station]
Mika can't stop the smile that formed across her face. It's simple things like that, like Thea's compliment, that makes her smile so much. "It's really refreshing to be in civilian clothing. I mean, we always see each other in Starfleet uniform, so, we might as well rock it out tonight. Because, Galaxyvision... Rock... Rock music?"
Mika knows that her lackluster line fell down like a rock straight into the bottom of the ocean. Luckily for her, a new face has joined the conversation. Mika happily shook Jov's hand.
"Well, you are correct! It's a pleasure to meet you Ms. Velal. I am Kobayashi, Doctor Kobayashi, well, Mika Kobayashi." One can blame Mika's antiquated family traditions for the extended introduction. For them, first names were only for very close friends and loved ones.
"A quiet night?" Thought Mika to herself as she shakes the hand of the new acquaintance. "I think I know what she meant by that."

[SCPO Melihn Ryah - Blue Beta - Promenade]
Ryah scanned the room from the position she'd taken by the entrance of the Blue Beta, watching for any problems. The security officer hoped that there wouldn't be anything worse than some drunken shenanigans. She was uncomfortable not being in uniform since no one really took her seriously unless she had a phaser in hand, or took them out by surprise.
She had a phaser, but it was tucked in a holster in the small of her back under a loose, patterned tunic. She wore comfortable pants and low-heeled boots that she'd be able to run or fight in if the need arose. She wore her combadge in plain sight, but it wasn't obvious against the business of her top.
She was in charge of security for the many guests aboard the station and the Galaxyvision event itself since Sven was tied up in court and paperwork.

He'd gotten better at it, as to be expected with their frequent practice, but it still took conscious effort when there was something specific he wanted to share with her. With a small smile, he moved his free hand to rest on her hip. "Whenever you start to get too nervous, just remember that you'll have me all to yourself when this party's over," he told her silently, his smile transforming into a playful smirk as he knew exactly where that comment would take her thoughts. Riyo lifted the glass to his lips and took another drink of the wine, knowing that they should probably go make an appearance at the party soon. But he would let her decide when she was ready to mingle with the crowd. From the dim sounds outside the door, it sounded like there was already a decent amount of people out there.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Doctor. No offense, but I hope I won't be seeing too much of you." In her line of work, she was lucky to have only been to Sickbay twice in her time on the Front Ear, and the last one was more of a precautionary exam after being held hostage. The petty officer still wasn't sure how they had made it out of there with as few injuries as they did... but tonight was definitely not the night to think about that. A loud voice attracted her attention, and she looked over to see a rather flamboyant man surrounded by women. Clearly one of the contestants. Jov knew the type... he would likely be trouble. Politely excusing herself from the two doctors, she made her way inside the restaurant, nodding to Ryah as she walked past, grateful to have someone with hands-on experience in charge here. The last thing she needed was someone who had never been in a fight telling her how to handle one. As busy as it had gotten, thankfully it was still easy enough for her to find a place to stand out of the way with her back to a wall, and she had a pretty good view of the entire room. At some point she might need to move up the second level to be able to see everyone, but she preferred to be closer to where the problems might be. Settling comfortably in place, her hands slid into the pockets of her jacket, fingertips trailing over the metal kubaton absently. Hopefully she wouldn't need to do anything but 'strongly suggest' someone go back to their quarters for the night. Tag Mika Kobayashi ; soft tags Thea Baker Ozu Saya (Ryah) |

[Lixx Van Elske - Blue Beta Bar & Grill, Front Ear Station]
Lixx excused himself from his so called acquaintances and was walking around the venue when he noticed a rather interesting figure standing quietly near a wall in the restaurant. Lixx knows the type. While not really his preference, he finds them interesting.
Strutting flamboyantly to the beat of the background music, Lixx approached Jov.
"Hi there, haven't I seen you somewhere before?" He can feel that she's not the type to engage in small talk but he will never know till he tries. "You seem to be one of those Starfleet types. Am I right, officer? You have this Starfleetish-aura going on. I like that."
Lixx will probably get nowhere with the conversation but he does have a valid concern.
"Anyway, have you seen the doctor? You know, Dr. Baker? I just want to make sure that she got my note to have my modest selling single, Polished Nacelle, to be played as my background music during the event. I mean, Turbolift Lover is great and all, but everyone already knows that. I ain't a one hit wonder you know?" |

"Actually, I have the same thouhts! I sure hope that I don't see you again anytime soon Ms. Velal! On the sickbay that is." Said a chuckling Mika to Jov. "I guess I finally found someone who shares my brand of humor? That's a huge 'I guess' there. So far so good."
Mika found Jov an interesting person to socialize with but unfortunately, duty calls and Jovireh was off to check out a slight commotion, mostly of females. Mika, using her height, tried to check the scene out and found that a tall, blonde man was the root of the sudden disruption.
"Of course." Said Mika, addresing her superior. "Lixx Van Elske surely won't pass this one up, right doctor? It seems that it's not too late for him, it looks like that he's still popular with the girls. At least some of them. Hopefully he doesn't turn this way." Mika then showed an awkward smile. "Not that I despise him, far from it actually. It's more like..."
Mika then realized that Thea probably has no clue on what she just said. As usual, the new doctor swayed the conversation into a new direction.
"It's more like we need drinks! Do you want me to get you another one doctor? I better grab one myself!" |

[Blue Beta - Promenade] As Jovireh and Mika continued to converse, Thea's attention was momentarily captured by the arrival of a certain flamboyant contestant who was already proving popular with the ladies. The Doctor had heard about Lixx Van Elske's reputation and the rumours surrounding him. Hopefully he wouldn't be the one to cause any trouble tonight and was certainly grateful to see Ryah present as well as Jovireh. If anything happened she knew that there would be no messing around. Something that Jovireh must of picked up on as she excused herself. Thea had served with the Petty Officer a couple of times now and appreciated her no nonsense attitude. Although wasn't surprised when Lixx moved over to her, which might prove to be fascinating to watch. When Mika then realised who it was, returning Thea's focus to the other doctor, especially when she suddenly changed the subject. Mika wouldn't be the only one to fall for Lixx's charms as she spoke up. " I know about his reputation but don't worry you'll be safe here with me, if he does come over" she replied reassuringly, as drinks were then mentioned. " Yes please".
