Anthony, comfortably clothed in civilian clothes, was wandering the deck 3 corridor, he had ridden the same turbolift with Cameron until she went off to enter the lounge from there. He was trying to avoid this, but Cameron was doing her bit so he will feel bad the next time they met in a few days time so he should just pluck it up and go see Captain Tigran. He made his way to her door and rang the chime.

“Come in.” Taliserra’s voice came through the door.

Anthony came in and didn’t immediately see that captain as she was propped up against the sofa as her daughter crawled nearby. “Well this is a new idea, the Captain’s learnt to throw her voice.”

“Hello Anthony.” Taliserra said, recognising his voice straight away. “Down here.”

“Ah, there you are. I was kind of expecting to see you at your desk. Though I guess you might not even use yours here that often.” Anthony said now hearing where her voice came from properly now and looked over to the lounge area of her quarters and immediately seeing her.

“This way Lashell, come on.” Taliserra called out to her daughter who was crawling away from her. She spared a glance over her shoulder towards Anthony. “What brings you to my quarters?”

Anthony chuckled as Lashell looked over her shoulder, giggled and kept on going away from Taliserra. “First of all, I am not used to dealing within this location so permission to use your given name Captain?”

“We’re both off duty Anthony, go ahead.” Taliserra replied.

“Well, Taliserra. Cameron, Ensign Kore and I have been practicing our music together since before we left the station, and over time the idea of maybe a convivial evening of Music and food might help lift people's spirits. Cameron and to a smaller degree I have noticed been affected negatively in the current situation.” Anthony said with a smile at Lashell being mischievous and not doing as her mother asked.

“A concert,” Taliserra replied, not taking her eyes off Lashell as she scurried off. “It’s a good idea.” Anthony’s summing up of the morale situation onboard was pretty accurate.

“Well yeah, that’s the usual way of describing them. Though it is slightly different because we are also sort of hoping you’ll allow the service of alcohol to help everyone relax into the atmosphere of the evening, and forget that big bad black outside our windows.” Anthony said. “Obviously Jessica will have control of her bar service and James will provide the canapes.” Anthony took a seat in one of the chairs so he didn’t have to just stand there growing taller. “So what do you think Captain?”

“It’s a good idea, the crew could certainly use the distraction.” Taliserra replied, she spared a glance up at him but kept her gaze towards Lashell.

Anthony laughed as Lashell did something. “That is of course what Cameron and I thought. I am sure it will be a distraction that many will need to lift their spirits.”

Talisera nodded slightly. “Where were you planning on hosting this little concert of yours?”

“Well Cameron is actually speaking with Jessica as we speak about using the lounge. We decided that it would be easier for her to speak to Jessica as we are more used to speaking and dealing with each other on a daily basis as one of your Chiefs so I would handle the business with you and she would cover the location.” Anthony said.

Taliserra smiled, she knew Anthony would have covered the majority of the factors she would have thought about before coming to her about their performance. “Well if Jessica is happy to let you use the lounge, then I am too.”

“Thank you Taliserra. I won’t bother you for any more of your valuable family time. I suppose the next person I need to see about it is Cameron to finish preparing for the evening. I am sure she will be thrilled about the fact you like the idea, if she was able to convince Jessica it was a good idea.” Anthony said as he got up to leave. “Unless there was something else you wanted to discuss?”

“Stay for a little while if you want Anthony, I could use the company…. And a second pair of eyes.” Taliserra replied as Lashell scurried off out of sight.

“Certainly Taliserra I remember that mum often needed extra eyes on my younger brother whenever I wasn’t studying so I would love to help you watch her for a while.” Anthony said.
