Ricky was down in the firing range with his trusted MPAR (Marine phaser assault rifle). It was heavily modified; lighter trigger, ability to go full and semi-auto, along with pulse and beam fire and finally laser scope. Lauren quietly padded into the range watching Ricky take down target after target with ease. "You miss that life don't you?" She asked leaning against the bulk head.

"Nah......just letting off some damn steam." Ricky growled removing his hand from the trigger and tossing Potter a PaDD. "That god damn Vulcan somehow got ahold of my full service record and decided to show my wife. Sorry my damn ex-wife."

Lauren got the PaDD and looked over it was divorce papers. Lauren could care less that he was getting divorced. It wasn't like Ricky was a great man. She knew about several of his infidelities while on assignment. But she also understood why they happened, "okay so your getting divorced in all honesty I'm surprised it took this long."

Ricky was angry but he knew deep in his heart this day was about to come. Even before the war and than civil war he was distant and not really there. "Plus even if we do re-take Zetari your right I can't be stuck behind a desk anymore."

"Lieutenant Alessandro you've a incoming message from the USS Enterprise." The communications officer said. Ricky looked at Potter confused knowing they were radio silent or as close as you could come to radio silent in this day in age.

"From who?" Ricky asked tapping his badge to respond as he set down his MPAR.

"A lieutenant Lucas." The comms officer said checking the called ID.

"Put it through to my quarters." Tapping his badge again he slid his MPAR into it's carrying case and headed out. "Dinner later Lauren." And with that he was out of the door and making it to his quarters in no time. "Alyssa how in the hell did you find me?"

Aly smirked as she heard Ricky before he came into view. "Come on now, I'm a security officer, one of the better one's if you remember. Do you honestly think I let my better men get lost to me in the systems?" Of course it wasn't like she had a lot of men, but she wasn't going to admit that.

Smirking Ricky was still in his fleet undershirt she was good he had seen that when they served in the academy together. He was a year ahead of her and year out from being recruited by First Force. ""God it's good to see your face again. You all right?"

"For now, sure. Though when the Captain gets ahold of me, I'll probably find myself getting shipped off of this ship. Damn doctors" She said with a slight shrug. "So how are you? Staying out of trouble?"

"Aly what did you do this time?" Ricky asked knowing Aly she was a good officer but she was passionate and allowed her emotions to control her actions which got her into trouble 90% of the time.

"The ship was attacked not to long ago, the previous captain was captured. The first officer was knocked out but left behind. So I've been trying to get to the bottom of that, part of it was questioning the ships CMO. And well... that didn't go over so well." She said with a slightly sheepish look upon her face.

"So after a bit of an.. altercation, a few threats to my job from the doctor. I got stuck shadowing her, so that's how I spent my afternoon. That was till the commander decided to slip off on her own."

Ricky just shook his head this wasn't anything new especially with Aly, "just be careful......things are gonna get worse before we even start seeing them get better." Ricky said rubbing his face, "wait what do you mean she was able to slip off on her own?" He asked looking at Aly, "Aly I've never seen you drop the ball like this."

"I mean the Commander ordered me to do something and while I was doing it. She slipped off. That's the downfall of trying to keep watch of someone with a higher rank. Especially when that someone is a stubborn ass doctor who thinks no one or anything will harm a doctor." She said with a scowl. "So anyways, how's the wife?"

"Since when did you ever give a damn about rank." Ricky asked looking at her, "and also since when have have start backing down because someone was being difficult?"

"The woman threatened to have me declared unfit for duty...." She paused a moment before muttering. "Gah... I've gotten soft on this ship."

"So what.....do you know how many times I had a medical officer claim that I wasn't fit for duty." Ricky said knowing full well she did, "and that hasn't stopped me yet."

"Alright, I admit I've gotten soft on this ship." She muttered, yes... she knew how many times he'd been threatened one way or another by people. "I'm not used to losing the CO of a ship. I think that has messed with me more than I want to admit." There were few people she would admit anything that bothered her, but he was one of them.

Ricky nodded having a few missions where the person he was protecting was killed. So he knew exactly how Aly felt, "well your doing the crew no good by going soft so snap out of it." Ricky said angrily, "and stop wallowing in self-pity."

Alyssa scowled hearing him, though she knew he was right... And she also knew he never was one to sugar coat things or go soft on her. In a way, it was a big reason she'd contacted him. "Alright, I got it. Can we change the subject now?"

Ricky looked at her she was different and not just softer but like something was missing. "Of course we can what do you want to discuss?"

That look didn't go unnoticed and she muttered. "It's the USS Loveboat here. Does that answer your question." She said with a slight scowl, figuring that would answer his 'what's missing' unasked question.

Ricky rapped his knuckles on his desk. "Aly......." Ricky said trying to figure out how to say this. "What we had was special but.....but....." Ricky said again a loss for words.

"I know.. your married. You brought it up, not me." Aly said with a shrug. "So how is the.... your wife."

"She found out about my indiscretions." Ricky said flatly not truly sure if Aly even knew about any of the others besides hers. But again the indiscretions besides Aly were all mission based.

"Ohh.." There was a slight moment of hesitation with his admission. But she gave a little shrug, she knew well enough his jobs lead to things that, at times caused one to have to do anything, including affairs. She shrugged slightly, letting him know she understood and didn't hold it against him. "And for some reason I can see that not going over well."

"Well I haven't spoken to her yet. But I did get divorce papers signed and all that jazz." Ricky said taking several deep breaths as even the thought and or mention had him tail spinning into anger.

"Good, now just as soon as you get your ass to Enterprise, we can celebrate that ending." Likely not the best thing to say, but she too knew that his marriage had been on the rocks for a while. That and of course, it had always been clear that she hadn't thought his wife was good enough for him.

Ricky knew all too well that Aly hated Ghislaine, "watch your mouth Aly she's the mother of my child." Ricky said gritting his teeth, "anyways I need to get some sleep I've got a lot of work to do in the Gamma quadrant." And with that he killed the link truly wanting to rip the console off and throw it at the bulk head.
