The only problems is the Mess Hall is full with a mix of bout the late shift and the morning shift..that's about 2,300 starfleet personnel. And as Bull looks there is about 900 so call blondes here.
But as luck would have it Chief Whitcher was leaving the Mess.

Hey Bull..come to take a looks at Lt. Mercer?

Yep...Where is she?

Sorry Bull...you just missed her by about 10 minutes....if you want a looks be here at about 0800 on the dot. She comes down with the whole OPS crew...she the only blonde in the group.

Thanks...like I have time to be here at 0800.

Chief Whitcher just starts laughing...

Well Bull...if not ..go up to OPS after 1200 and take a looks...you do know it doesn't cost anything for a peep.

With that Bull give Chief Whitcher the Bull look. Once more Whitcher laughs.

OOOO Bull..

As the Admiral and Lt. Stefani walk into the Mess Hall. They both could see that the place is full...well it is 1300 and Cheif Dylan is still cooking lunch.
The Admiral steward see them walks in and head over to them to show them to the Officer's area and the Admiral table.
As the Gunn and Stefani walks across the Mess Hall, they both make small talk with many of the Starfleet personnel.
As they about to sit...Rose speaks.

Max tell me...went are we going to go out and eat at a good place?

Rose..this is the good place...

They both laughs and sit. The Steward then asked what they will be ordering this day.. The Admiral order the "Chicken Florentine with roasted garlic and barcon". Lt. Stefani order the "Butternut squash lasgna".

So Max...I have heard that Thomas youngest son has gotten into Starfleet Academy...You must be proud of him. By the way...How is Thomas and Rudy doing these day? Is he still station on Earth?

Thomas is Max younger brother and is a Lt. Cdr. in Starfleet. Thomas is with Starfleet Command JAG...one of it best and brigthest lawers.

You know Rose...I will never know how you find these things out so fast. I just got word on this yesterday. William will be joining next year class as a first year cadet.

With that they both settle in and have a talk about anything and everything. For Max this is one of the first time he feel calm. But them again Rose has alway had effect on him...She is and will be all ways the little sister he never had.

[Ensign Tom Algren]

Getting into the Mess Hall Ensign martin is breaking it on Tom.

No.

They find a table and then they both places their orders.

[Vice Admiral Maxx Gunn]

Getting off the tubrolift and walking into the Mess Hall, Max need to get a fresh cup of coffee and take a few minutes to sit and think about what is going on.
He walks over to his table and a steward come right over and asked the Admiral what he needs. Gunn tell the young man that he wanted a cup of coffee and apple pie. The steward nods and know that went the Admiral get down to the Mess Hall, the wants fresh brew coffee...hot and black.
As the steward walks into the galley he tell the number cheif on duties...the cofffee is for the Admiral ..so is the pie.

[Master CPO Clooney]

It 0435 and Bull walks into the mess hall. He see all the same early birds that eat before 0530.
And as alway, he hear the voice of Rothman call out from across the hall.

Hey Chief Clooney...I got a table for us.

Good Rothman...let me get some food and i will be right there.

Bull get into the the chow line. He get himself a bowl of oatmeal, some kind of eggs, ham streak, toasts, and order a small pot of tea this morning.
Once getting his food he walks over to the table that Rothman is sitting. Bull place his tray down and then he sits.

So Rothman...you ready for other big day of work?

Yes Chief Clooney...What going on here today

I think the "Old man" need some work done around here. So if you just happen to run into Adrimal Gunn..Please don't start asking questions...It took me weeks to get Captain Naru out of my hair about those last questions you ask her.
Boy..I sometime don't think your tubrolift doesn't go to the top deck.

Rothman would have answer but he had a month full of eat and just nods yes.

At this time the rest of the Pups walks in...Posey, Thrawn, Grendel, and their newest member and leader Crew person Crow. Bull think Grendel has fallen for Crow, but wouldn't say even if it mean his death.

[Vice Admiral Maxx Gunn]

Max walks into the mess hall and see Clooney and the other at their table. Gunn walks over to the table.

Master Chief....if you have a minute I would like to talk with you.

Clooney nods as the Admiral walks over to his table. Once sitting one of the steward comes walking over.

Admiral...what do you wish this morning...

Just a coffee for now Son....

The steward nods and walks back to get the Admiral his coffee.

[Vice Admiral Maxx Gunn]

The steward place down a pot of coffee and two cups, just in case someone else joins the Admiral. Once that done the steward pours Max a cup of coffee. Max nods to the steward...

Thanks you and that will be all Son.

The steward return the nod..

The steward mades a about face and heads back to his station in the officer section of the mess hall.
At the same time Master Chief Clooney come to the Admiral table and sit...

Coffee Chief?

Sure Sir...I been told you get the best coffee on the station.

Max smiles as he pour the Chief a full cup of coffee.

Will Chief....a Admiral need to get something..doesn't he?

Chief, I ask you here to speak about some things I needed done on the station. I have a list that you will get sometime this day. I want you to go over them and get back to me on it.
These upgrade maybe alittle out of line for a starbase...but with all the trouble we have had, I think we need them.

Lisiting to Admiral..Bull nods as he drink his coffee.. he also think this is the best coffee he had in many a years. Better kind on the good side of the "Old Man" and maybe he could get some of this for himself.

I will go over it Admiral and get back to you ASAP....

Bull stand and till has his cup in his hand as Max smiles..

Chief...take the pot with you...and I will may sure you get this brew down at engineering too.

Before Iggy said something. He remember back to the day after the Battle of the Rim...How him and a young Starfleet doctor both got pretty drunk and end up in a tattoo shop on SB-87...and by the end ot the night they both had old earth Marine tattoo...a bulldog's face...with the lettering USMC below the face....a tattoo they both still have till this day.

Iggy is still alittle mad about this assignment...but he will do it anyway.

Ok...Max just for a week or two that it....right.

Good Iggy...so tell me what did you two have cooking for this night dinner?

Dylan speak up...

Well Sir...Streak...fresh meat of the hoof...and all those Marine could eat. Plus...everything you could think of for a good old summer cook out. Plus Iggy got one ot those Merchan Marine captains to throw in a few hundred pounds of ribs and chickens.

Well Gentlmen it looks like you two have out done yourself this time. I think those Marine are in for a suprise,,,they have been eating replicator food for the last two month getting here.
