Editing Christopher Adams Interlude (section)

==== (USS Paladin - Holodeck 4 - Ensign JG Christopher Adams - 1943)====

Dinner had been placed along the large table in front of the cabin. Ensign Adams loaded up a plate and moved over to one of the tables where some of the engineering techs he had met earlier in the day were starting to gather. They talked about technical details of the ship while enjoying the food.

After about fifteen minutes, a young man went to the porch and addressed the crowd, "If anyone is interested, Rana and I would like to perform for you, and we have an announcement to make."

There was cheering from the crowd as the young man picked up a Vulcan lyre and began to play a song and the woman he referred to as Rana began to sing. As they finished the duet together, the crowd began to clap. Standing up he addressed the crowd again. "That was 'Soon It's Gonna Rain' from the Fantasticks, for which I will be holding auditions for tomorrow for whoever is interested."

One of the engineering techs poked Ensign Adams in the side trying to egg him into joining the musical. "No way, Williams. There's no way I'm signing up for that." From over nearby they overheard Matrix, "I couldn't carry a tune if it had handles."

Adams and the engineering techs starting laughing at their commanding officer.
