Movement brought him out of his thoughts and he turned his head to catch the oddest thing. Briefly his dual colored gaze caught the Andorian woman sitting next to the Captain giving him a smile. Well it was more than a smile and he returned it, brow rising up slightly. He knew of her but not much.

When she turned away from him he couldn't help but follow her gaze to Vanna before looking back at the Andorian. The way she was looking at Vanna had him shifting slightly, darting his eyes to the woman in question sitting there without a care in the world. A smirk curled at his lips and he turned his attention see what movie was going to play. "What are we watching first?"

Kate smiles at Jason and leans up to peek over her couch.  "Them, it is a movie that Catrina likes."  She smiles "Computer, open fire, Them.mov under MFile directory."

Jason nodded, glanced around and gave Kate a smile. "Ah, I am not much for those types of movies. I think I will go. Have a good night and enjoy." He rose up and quietly left.

"We have several movies lined up, Jurassic park, and Alien are up next." Kate comments looking disappointed that Jason was leaving.   Vanna looks slightly disappointed as well but makes no attempt to stop him, if he was tired he was tired afterall.

Thani frowns as Jason leaves as well. "Hey Vanna, we have room up here if you haven't decided where to sit." As she pats the open cushion next to her.

Before Vanna arrived, Farah glanced back at her friend who seemed happy, yet lost too.  She sighed softly, wishing there had been a way to avoid Cat resigning her commission, but it had been for the best.

Vanna smiles and comes up joining Farah and Thani on the couch.  "So what is this movie about?" she asks curiously as she watched the old black and white film appear on the holodeck wall.

EDIT: Add the Jason exit...

Thani feels a little hurt that Jason had left immediately after she had smiled and flirted a little with him. But she won't wallow in it, she'll have to deal with it later. She brightens up when Vanna comes and joins them at the couch.


Thani shrugs in reply to Vanna's question, "Just what Kate said. I've never seen 'Them'. Such a strange name, is that a common thing on your world?"

Looking at the food, "What'd you bring? And are you sharing?" As she leans a little closer to have a look. Her hand brushing Vanna's leg to keep from losing her balance. Her legs are tucked up underneath her at the moment.

Jason paused at the door a moment and then glanced back. A moment of indecision crossed his face before he turned back, walked over and sat down next to Cat and gave Kate a nod. "Be ok to sit here?" he said quietly with the Catrina just so she knew who was there and then sat down without forcing her to actually move. (Assuming Kate wasn't sitting in the middle) "So... you like these kinda movies?" A glance was given to the room, there wasn't many he actually knew at all or had talked to yet.

In reply to Jason Walker (msg # 29):

"I guess so?" Cat replied to Jason as he sat and she scooted over a bit to make room.  She smiled at his presence, though it had an uncertain look to it.  "I know I've seen it and Kate says I loved them, so I'm hoping she's right.  I take it you haven't?"

In reply to Catrina Matheson (msg # 30):

He winced a little at that, he had totally forgotten about her memory. "I ain't much for horrors," he murmured just so he wasn't disturbing anyone else, well horrors and tiny little biting insects but he wasn't going to say that outloud. He noticed the uncertain look and gave her a friendly smile to reassure Catrina. "Well Miss Kitty," he teased gently. "If you decide you don't like it, pretty sure you can either huddle up to me or her," he said with a nod in Kate's direction.

In reply to Jason Walker (msg # 31):

"Thanks, Jason," Cat said as she settled into the couch, then leaned closer to him as the credits began.

In reply to Catrina Matheson (msg # 32):

He nodded, glancing at the wall as things started up. It wasn't often he saw a old black and white so his attention was on that till Cat leaned closer.  Jason gave Cat a startled glance before turning his attention back to the movie, or so it appeared.

It was an interesting fiil.  Old black and white, bad special effects.  ButBart had learned to appriciate films for the time they were made.  He took another handful of popcorn just when they explained that the ants were affected and mutaed from the atomic testing in New Mexico.  He laughed, spewing popcorn out of his mouth.  A bit embarassed he looked arund to see if anyone noticed as he brushed off the popcorn from the front of his sleeping gown.

Kate doesn't seem to notice Bart's accident as she snuggles into Maria and watches the movie she's seen a few times idly.  She glances at Cat curiously to see how she's reacting to the film.  She had hoped that even given the circumstances that Cat would enjoy the film like she used to.  Maybe even reconnect with some of those old memories she had in her mind but was unable to access due to the head trauma.

In reply to Jason Walker (msg # 33):

Cat stared at Jason a moment, then rolled her eyes.  "Sometimes I wonder if your head's made of duranium," she said with a shake of her head.  "She's into you, dummy.  Don't tell me you haven't noticed."

Her attention turning to the movie, Cat began audibly laughing at the corny monster movie.  The bad acting, the horribly fake ants.  She threw a grin at Kate, clearly enjoying herself.

In reply to Catrina Matheson (msg # 36):

Jason stared at Cat a moment and then shook his head slowly. He was about to say something but then went silent and turned to watch the movie. With brows furrowed, it was hard to tell if he was watching that. Cat's laughing made him glance at her a moment. "I haven't actually noticed that," he finally admitted. "Though earlier today...," he trailed off. That weird interaction with him, Jackie and Naoko had puzzled him.

In reply to Jason Walker (msg # 37):

Cat chuckled, but not at the movie.  "That's because you're a guy.  Even with a piece of metal in my head, I saw how she would cast those furtive glances at you.  I figured when I saw you two walking off together she had finally worked up the courage to tell you."

Suddenly aware she had told Jason something Jackie might not have wanted told, she added, "But you didn't hear any of this from me.  Got it?  I may not be Chief anymore, but I still know to program a replicator.  I'll make everything you eat taste like applesauce."

In reply to Catrina Matheson (msg # 38):

He gave Cat a bemused look a moment. "No. I had offered her a taste of the first run of whiskey my family ever made." He shook his head and then froze up. "What? When did that happen?" He bit back any other questions then reached down to give her hand a gentle squeeze. "Applesauce huh? I like applesauce." He grinned at her.

His grin faded after a moment. "I had a weird interaction with her and Naoko earlier," his brows furrowed as he glanced at the movie. It seemed less entertaining now. To be honest, he had a weird interaction with Thani too when he entered, not that he knew her at all.

In reply to Jason Walker (msg # 39):

Why were the cute ones always so dumb?  Cat sighed. "Did it never occur to you that some might be attracted to you?  And not me.  You know I like girls."

In reply to Catrina Matheson (msg # 40):

Jason chuckled softly at Cat. "Yes I know which way you lean," he teased. In this day and age, it didn't matter too much. Then he shrugged slightly. "Not really aware of it. I've just wanted to learn my job and do well." Girls hadn't been on his radar at all.

"Wait...," he just realized what those weird interactions might have meant. "The way Jackie and Naoko were acting..." he trailed off and just happened to glance in Thani's direction a moment. His ear tips started to get red at that point and he casually rubbed at the one opposite of Cat.

In reply to Jason Walker (msg # 41):

"Keep going, Jason.  You'll get there," Cat said as she settled into Kate and took some popcorn.  "You're right," she said to Kate.  "I love this."

In reply to Catrina Matheson (msg # 42):

Jason nodded slowly and turned his gaze to the movie. He wasn't really watching it though, brows furrowed in thought for the rest of the movie unless someone else distracted him.

Kate smiles from the bundle on the couch with Maria. "I knew you would, you won't like the next film as much but the one after you'll enjoy it.  You always did enjoy watching the T-rex leave its enclosure." she teased alittle.

Vanna smiles at Jason. "So enjoying the movie Specialist Walker?" she asks curiously as she watches the ants go on a rampage.
