"Interesting", Cassandra Darcy responds. "I'll look into it."
Her sister immediately interjects: "No, you won't. You're on vacation. Let planet security handle this matter."
Turned back towards Alira, Cassandra Darcy says: "We are hosting a dinner this evening. The whole bridge crew of the Potential will be there. I would like for you to be there to introduce you. If everything goes well, Commander Cassano should sign off on your transfer after that."
Helena corrects: "It's a barbecue slash garden party, not a dinner. No formal clothes allowed. And you can bring a +1 if you want. Just let us know so we can prepare enough seats for everybody."

Thank you, that would be great.
Alira thinks for a minute.
Would it be alright if I brought a cadet? I know one who is kind of having a rough time right now, I would like to show her that the camaraderie in the fleet is something worth working for.

"I don't see why not", Helena replies. She gets up from her chair and puts the half finished glass down on it.
Cassandra gets up as well. "Until later then. 1900 hours."

...into an RP with her parents. Oh, and consider an invitation sent to Lisa. Do you want me write it up? If so, I will do it in my next postMay 23, 2019 6:42 pm

You can write one up if you want to. When you get to the terminal to write her, you see that you got another message, this time from securitybowlofspinach sent a note to Machiabelly

Hi Lisa,
I am sorry you don't feel welcome with your friends right now. If you are interested, I have been invited to a casual bbq at 1900 hours at cottage 114. I have a plus one available if you would like to come along.
May 23, 2019 6:59 pm
You won't receive a response from Lisa right away. The security office sends back a generic confirmation message almost immediately.
After sending those messages, Alira goes to meet her parents at the cafe her mother suggested.

Day 2 - 2000 hours
The rest of the day passes by without any special occurences. Everyone notices a visible increase in security officers patrolling the town, all of them armed. They do their best not to interfere with the fun of the guests but everyone seems to be just a little bit on edge.
Eventually, the time for the party rolls around. The house is empty and there is a sign by the door that informs guests to go to the back of the house. Instrumental music is playing in the backyard and when you go around the house, you will see a large table set up on the grass, there is a barbecue set up, raw meat and other grillables next to it, and a large selection of food is already on the table. A replicator has been set up close to the table but while the ingredients have definitely been replicated, the foods look hand prepared.
Cassandra Darcy is walking around the table, adjusting plates and glasses over and over. She looks nervous and like she is putting herself under a lot of stress. Helena is sitting on a bench by the house, drinking from a wine glass and reading something on a datapad.

Alira walks up to the nervous woman with her most welcoming smile.
Julia right? Nice to see you again. I don't really know anyone very well, would you be kind enough to walk in with me?

Alira sees the cadet and smiling warmly approaches her.
I am so glad you could make it. Please come in. To he honest, I probably know you better than anyone here. We'll change that, soon we will know the whole bridge crew
Alira takes her by the elbow and heads for the backyard

Alex arrives outside Cass's cottage a few minutes before the party is scheduled to start, dressed casually and comfortably for the event. The quiet time in her cottage seems to have kicked the last major bits of her hangover, and she appears refreshed and pleased with how the day has gone so far. Or perhaps she's just looking forward to the evening ahead.
She buzzes the interior and announces her presence outside, turning to look out over the conglomeration of cottages in idle curiosity while she waits.

Cass opens the door. "Hey, come on in. We're just waiting for an old friend I ran into this morning."
After Alex is inside and seated on the sofa, Cass tells her about the reason for the lockdown and the fact that the fugitive is still at large. "So until she's caught, I have to carry around this phaser and be on the lookout for this person. Should really enhance the relaxation potential of my shore leave." Flopping onto the sofa next to Alex, she switches gears. "Hey, how was lunch with Julia?"

Alira and Lisa walk to the backyard of the cottage together and find everything prepared for the party. Cassandra spots them and hurries over to them. She's trying to hide it but her face looks stressed. "Alira, I'm glad you came. You're the first to arrive. Take a seat." She turns to Lisa. "And welcome to you as well. You are?"
"Lisa", she replies. "Cadet Lisa Wilde. I'm a... friend of Alira." That last part sounds unsure, a bit like a question.
Helena gets up from her bench and puts down the datapad. Unlike her sister, she's very relaxed and calm. She takes a sip from her glass, then asks "Do you want anything to drink? We'll wait for the others with food, unless you're starving"

As Cass mentions an old friend she just ran into, Alex tilts her head in a curious look. "Does it ever feel like sometimes there are no coincidences? Like something's out there writing our stories, and we're just at their whim? I mean... the chances of me running into Julia, you into an old friend..."
She leaves aside the question of the fugitive and partly disabled phaser, other than to raise her eyebrows in a skeptical look. Alex folds her hands in her lap and leans her head back against the sofa. "You know, it was surprisingly lovely... maybe we've both grown up enough to let some of the past go." She makes a slightly tight-lipped smile. "Though I did invite her and her fiance to this party tonight. There's still plenty of room for it to dive right past the event horizon into the black hole of disaster."

Cass folds her arms and slouches on the couch. "Yeah, I think I've had my fill of both coincidences and disaster. I'd settle for a nice, boring remainder of our stay here. Although I'm not sure that's in the cards, at least for tonight. Did you know that Darcy has not only decided not to continue as security chief, but has already interviewed a replacement without telling me about it?"
May 29, 2019 10:12 pm
Alex turns her head to look at Cass without raising it from where she rests. "This somehow doesn't surprise me. One last little dig at you before she walks out the door? Have you met this replacement yet?"
May 29, 2019 10:16 pm
Cass nods. "We both did, last night. Because the universe is determined to make sure that I make as poor an impression as possible in any given situation. She was with Moira and Zephyr last night when security responded to our call. And I spent more time with her at lunch today. That's how I found out that she interviewed with Darcy this morning."
Consulting a clock, she scowls. "Damn Nic. Still always late. Some things never change."
