Gregnol looked at the Engineer who kept shooting him glances before he silently crossed to sit next to her if she had something to ask or say better to get it over with. He knew her by sight only but it was hard to mistake her at all. "Can I help you Sera Williams?" He wondered softly his accent more pronounced than most expected from him.

Sera glanced up at Gregnol. She never tried to hide her suspicions of the man. "That's more of a question for you. We've offered assistance, yet we keep getting the cold shoulder," she stated. The way she spoke could have been interpreted as concern, though she all but implied that something was being hidden on the Gaman.

Gregnol knew he renowned through the fleet, the Butcher of Betazed but he also knew that this woman was respected as well, Engineers of her standard were far and few between. "I'm never cold," Gregnol said with a smirk as the woman got right to the point. "Nothing to help with really. Your Admiral is the one you need to talk to."

A look of confusion briefly crossed the engineer's face as she was caught off guard by what she was told. Her crew had gotten nothing from Gregnol's crew as they had offered assistance. Why would the Admiral ice his own crew out of whatever was happening. "I will have to confirm this with the Admiral," she offered as stone faced as she could.

Gregnol knew in that second where the confusion crossed her face that he won this round of annoying the Admiral's crew. He took a glance around at the Betazoids and found his own two smirking as they realised just how out of the loop the Gaman's crew really was. "Of course." He said smirking. "Shall we discuss this with him now?"

"That is not necessary," Sera tried to state. It was only after the words left her mouth did she realize the futility of her objections.

"Oh, I think it is Sera Williams." The Russian answered with a grin her way that was less than friendly. If this woman wanted to know the admiral could approve her meeting one of the travelers. He wanted to see her reaction to it all.

"You would insinuate that I would not tell my most trusted engineer with all the details of this mission?" came the voice of Admiral Kita, who seemed to almost materialize near them. Valiyi had an arm wrapped around his, a knowing gaze upon Reuben, but it was Shinji who spoke, and to Sera instead of Reuben, his tone shifting from calm, coolness to that of a generous warmth. "We have much to discuss, but as you well know, times and places. And different forms of company. For now, we celebrate this most momentous occasion."

"Well she does seem pretty clueless here Sir," Gregnol said softly as he looked Valiyi over. "I will be celebrating." He assured with a smile as he shrugged at Sera.

Because of the situation, Sera kept her words to herself. It took every bit of self-control to not throw her drink into Gregnol's face and scream. "Let's celebrate," she was able to respond.

Shinji looked between the few gathered, before shooting a knowing look in Sera's direction. He addressed Reuben, who seemed all too cocky of what was about to transpire. "A celebration does seem in order."
