 "Don't you ever sleep?" Dalton asked.

 Captain Lora Kor shook his head.  "Not if I can help it," he replied.  The
 two men were sitting at one of the aft tables in Seventh Heaven, almost
 directly underneath the large bay windows that dominated the upper aft roof
 of the space.  The Captain smiled thanks at one of the staff, who appeared
 long enough to remove an empty glass and replace it with a full one --
 Guinness, of course -- then withdraw.  It was late in the ship's night.

 "I suppose as Chief Medical Officer, I should have some kind of problem with
 that," Dalton said, lounging backwards in his chair, nursing his own drink.
 "But you're all grown up now and should know to take care of yourself," he
 said.

 Lora Kor chuckled.  "Grown up several times over, in fact," he said,
 grinning.  "All I've found in those several lifetimes is that sleep is
 pretty much a waste of valuable waking hours."

 Dalton nodded, somewhat pensively.  Neither man said anything for some time,
 watching the stars go by in the windows as Coro maneuvered in her position
 in the defensive perimeter.  "What are we waiting here for, anyway?" Dalton
 asked finally.

 "The ambassador ship," the Captain responded.  "We were actually expecting
 her almost an hour ago.  We sent the Mears and a couple of squads back
 through the gate looking for her."

 "Won't be much of a negotiation if the Traxati cut the ambassador ship in
 half," Dalton said with a wry smile.  Lora Kor nodded, but his response was
 interrupted by Commander Dejat's voice over ship's comm.

 "Bridge to Captain, the ambassador ship is inbound.  Admiral Aldur has
 called a meeting on the flagship of all ship's Captains," Dejat said over
 the comm.

 "Thank you, Commander," the Captain said, tapping his combadge and rising.
 "Inform the Admiral I'll be over presently and prepare the Captain's Gig to
 fly."  After receiving an acknowledgement, the Captain drained his glass and
 pushed it aside, preparing to leave the lounge.

 Dalton looked over his shoulder.  "Why not transport over?" he asked,
 curious.

 "Not after even a couple of ales," the Captain said, smiling slightly and
 holding one hand over his abdomen.  "We," he said, emphasizing the word,
 "don't much care for the transporter after a Guinness.  See you in a few
 hours," he said.  Seventh Heaven's doors closed behind him.

 "Oh, that's interesting," Dalton said to the mostly empty room.  He turned
 back to the windows in time to see what was apparemtly the ambassador ship
 on approach.  Its stark lines and contrasts identified it almost immediately
 as a Vulcan ship.  Dalton's expression of interest turned into a
 disapproving frown.
