ON:

Narla still disguised as a Vulcan so the ship’s marines and more importantly Major Hurd would not reconizge her stepped onto the bridge, seeing Cyndi still in the center seat walked over and took the seat reserved for the second officer. Lieutenant Kalina Johnson seated at helm as the ship was heading at warp 1 to Cardassia. Newly promoted Lieutenant David Montgomery was at his place at operations, “Cyndi you look beat, let me take over until your first officer is free.”

“If you don’t mind general,” Cyndi said keeping the conversation low as not to let on Narla’s secret and her disguise. “Paul probably wonders what I look like. Besides you do out rank me.”

Narla shook her head, "I may out rank you but I'm not pulling rank. Besides I'm dressed as a first lieutenant and fall under Rivers command as long as I'm undercover. Take a couple hours of down time, get something to eat. Your ship is safe, your people know their jobs."

Cyndi nodded "I'll see you back in a few hours and thank you, I owe you one," Cyndi said getting to her feet and heading off the bridge. Cyndi walked into her quarters a few minutes later to the aroma of something that Paul was making. Cyndi walked into the kitchen and at the same time pulled her phaser from her pocket and placed the battery pack on the charger "What ever your making smells wonderful."

Paul grinned as he walked to where his wife was and kissed her. "I was hoping you'd be able to take some time to eat."

"Narla shooed me off the bridge, she's taking over for a bit. Commander Green is busy and we lack a second officer. So what are you making?"

"Red Snapper, baked potatoes, green beans and a cesar salad. And for desert apple dumplings," Paul replied as he carried dinner to the table and lit two candles and pulled out her chair.

Cyndi took a seat and once Paul was seated they began to ear while catching up on the sleepers and what Herculoid and Montgomery had filled her in on.

"This is going to be fun," Paul commented as he finished his meal "A Princess who thinks she's marrying someone beneath her."

"Heruloid and I may have to set her straight, even though we don't want to acknowledge we're royals due to regulations but sometimes I have to bend the rules. This may be one," Cyndi commented

Paul carried the plates to the kitchen and returned with two hot apple dumplings, placed one in front of Cyndi and resumed his seat "You'll figure it out."

"I know and time will tell, so far only one of the sleepers has woken up and is currently in guest quarters," Cyndi said as she finished her desert "I'm going to take a hot shower,care to join me?"

Paul stood offered his hand, Cyndi stood, too her husband's hand and they walked to the bedroom where the shower was.
