Time: Before 2410
Place: Earth, San Francisco, Starfleet Academy, Engineering building.
Third-year cadet Ezri Tegan relaxed at a table in the arboretum in the center of the massive engineering building. At the table with her were a sandy-haired Bajoran male, who was eating a sandwich, and a blonde human female who was working on something on a PADD and looking frustrated.
"If I knew subspace mechanics was this hard I would have gone into operations." the blonde female said.
"Subspace mechanics is easy Gabrielle," Ezri stated without looking up from her bowl of Senarian egg broth.
Gabriel frowned, "okay genius." she replied picking up her device to read off the problem she was working on. "Calculate the velocity (in warp units) created by the warp engines of a type six shuttle craft generating a 1000 millicochrane subspace field." she had a smug look on her face, confident the Trill would be stumped.
"Warp one. That was an easy one Gabrielle, Just plug everything into the Cochrane equation. It's easier if you convert everything to natural units first, then the gravitational constant has a value of one and the warp velocity works out to be same as the size of the warp field strength in Cochranes." Ezri quickly answered still not looking up from her soup.
"oh right. You really know your stuff Ezri." She said.
"yeah, I guess so," Ezri said with a shrug.
"oh look, it's that weird kid from our LCARS programming class," Gabrielle said, pointing at the approaching Edward Hesser.
Ezri looked up from her soup, much like a foraging deer sensing a nearby predator. She looked over and watched as Edward awkwardly approached her table.
"Hi, Ezri," Edward said nervously.
"Hi, Edward," Ezri replied
"Hi, Eddy. What do you want?" Gabriel asked coldly.
Edward side-eyed the blonde girl, "yeah sure." he replied before turning his attention back to Ezri. He held up a small gold-colored box with a ribbon on it. "I got you this Ezri for Valentine's Day," he said as he held up the box.
Ezri stared at the box, "what is it?"
"it's candy," Edward replied nervously.
"oh. thanks, Edward," Ezri said as she accepted the box.
"You are welcome. I was hoping maybe we could go get dinner or something. When you have time of course." He continued.
Ezri thought about this a moment, "Yeah, sure why not? my schedule is pretty packed. Maybe the weekend or something?"
Edward smiled a bit, "Sure, I will send you a com and we can set a time."
"Okay," Ezri replied as she set the golden box off to the side and resumed eating her soup. After Edward walked off Ezri looked up at Gabriel and asked, "What is Valentines day?"
Gabriel was smiling and trying not to laugh, "Valentine's Day is an Earth celebration of love and romance Ezri."
Ezri's eyes went wide as saucers. "Love and romance?"
Gabriel looked at the Bajoran male, "Ezri has a boyfriend Idu." she said, with a giggle.
Idu laughed a little, "it's the spots, men are attracted to exotic women." he replied flippantly.
Ezri looked at him, her eyes narrowing. "You don't have to make it awkward," she said angrily.
Ezri looked off in the direction Edward had walked off in and sighed. She had a vague sense that this was going to be a problem. Her sense of forboding was interrupted by a chime from her PADD. She picked up her device and checked the message.
The message was short and to the point. it read, "An interview for your application to Diapason has been scheduled for tomorrow morning at 0700.". it was signed by one Lieutenant Commander Elizabeth Rendino.
"What was that Ezri? Did Eddy com you already?" Gabriel said with a smirk.
"No. That multi-discipline science and engineering program I applied for, Diapason, wants me to interview tomorrow morning." Ezri replied as she set the PADD down and went back to her soup.
"Well that is fantastic, that should really help your career," Gabriel said excitedly.
Ezri shrugged, "I hope so."
