<<Stardate: 47307.17- 20:10>>

<<Deck 3>>

DeMontigny exited his quarters and headed for the turbolift. He had

had a restful sleep, but had gotten up early before his shift. He still

needed to find players for his poker game. But who could he ask? He

hardly knew anyone on this ship... He reached and summoned the

turbolift. Maybe he should ask the first potential player he saw.

The turbolift doors opened and François stepped in. "Deck ten." he

said, it was time for breakfast. On the way, the lift stopped to admit

two other crewmen. Actually, a crewman and a crewwoman. The first was a

young yeoman François had seen in Ten-Forward, but couldn't remember his

name. However, he knew the Bajoran/Cardassian woman that walked in from

his days on the Nova.

"Lt. Arda Kaje, nice to see you again." he said. Arda just looked at

him blankly.

"We met briefly on the Nova. My name is François..." he started.

"... DeMontigny, yes I remember you now." she finished.

François got an idea. Since he knew her, why not invite her to the

game?

"Lt, have you anything planned for tomorrow morning at 8:00?" he

asked.

"Excuse me?" Arda retorted, misunderstanding him.

"No, I'm not asking you out on a date... I'm organizing a poker game.

Are you interested?"

Arda thought about it for a moment, then nodded.

"Ok, sure. Why not?" she said.

"Parfait!" François thought of the yeoman, "And what about you,

yeoman?"

Rogers started when he was addressed.

"Me sir?" he asked, unsure.

"Sure, I know you about as well as anybody else on the ship! Are you

in?"

"Like the Lt. said, why not? I'll be there, Lt..."

"DeMontigny, François DeMontigny." François introduced himself.

"Vincent Rogers."

"Enchanté. Then I'll see you two tomorrow at 0800 hours at holodeck

3!"

The TL doors then opened and François walked out, heading to

10-forward. When he got there he headed for the bar to order breakfast,

but saw someone familiar hunched over a table. He walked over to her.

"Lt! How are you this fine evening?" he asked Alison Donucci.

No answer.

"Lt? Are you alright?" he touched her shoulder and she crumbled onto

the table. François could smell the alcool on her breath.

"I see..." he said, looking around, "Well I can't leave you like this

now, can I?"

Bending down some, he slipped an arm under her legs and the other

behind her back. As he lifted her, her head fell back and her hair fell

away from her face. Thanking the powers that are to have given him such

beautiful superiors, François carried the uncouncious lieutenant out of

Ten-Forward.

<<Donucci's Quarters - 20:35>>

François gently laid Alison down on her bed and prepared to leave

when he looked at her again. She was truly an attractive woman. Her

uniform did nothing to reveal her figure, but François knew women enough

to see it anyway. Her nice long legs gave way to wonderful hips (hips

where François' favorite part of the female anatomy) which were followed

by an attractive tummy topped by a beautiful pair of breasts straining

against her uniform. In fact, maybe she'd be more comfortable sleeping

without her uniform... What was he thinking?! This was his direct

superior he was thinking of undressing! It would be wrong! But still,

she would have no way of knowing, and what you don't know...

François looked at the beautiful woman sprawled before him on the

bed. Helpless. Unceremoniously, he pull the covers over her and walked

out.
