Selina smirked as she saw the other woman arrive and nodded to her. The woman didn't scare her and they had an understanding like she did with the other department heads as she didn't report to anyone apart from the Captain. She turned as a gong was sounded and the food was brought in.

Zeti nodded to Selina, being a part of the non-human club meant having a bond. It didn't mean she could trust all non-humans but there was less tension between them. The food was a pleasant distraction at least.

Mercia strolled up to the spotted freak near the food and stood plainly in her way, her cold eyes staring down at the shorter woman, silently challenging her. She picked a bit of food off the woman's plate and popped it in her mouth.

Dixoho looked at the woman who dared to take someone off her place and smirked at Selina. The pair exchanged almost a silent conversation before the Trill passed her the food. "If you needed food all you needed to do is ask. We need to share after all." The woman wasn't scared of people who thought that they were better than her, she had proved her worth in getting the Mary Rose across the universes.

Mercia looked between Dixoho and Zeti, "Oh two freaks." she commented. "How fun," she said plucking something off the other woman's plate as well and smirking.

Dixoho said something to the other woman and just rolled her eyes. "And wouldn't you love to be between us," Dixoho commented on with a wink at the Bajoran.

At that moment, Micheal entered the compartment, scanning the room for threats, as he always did when entering a room. Seeing Dixoho and the other two women standing together, he smiled softly. Unfortunately, the smile turned to a scowl, for he could see that Mercia was trying to put them in their place, species-wise. This angered the partial cyborg Texan. As a human, of course, he had been taught in school, the racist idea that his species was supposedly the highest form of life in the universe. Of course, that was not what his parents had instilled in him. They taught him that all life was precious and every species was equal, only the individual was to be judged by their actions.

Moving over to the group, he addressed Mercia in a firm tone. "Is there a problem here, Lieutenant?" He stressed he rank purposefully to state that he would accept zero attitude form the junior officer.

Mercia took a long drink of her glass and winked at the man. "None at all sir, just some flirting, would you like to join?" she said. She looked at the women, "As for being between you two... never know. play your cards right." she purred. "Might be freaks, but sometimes I like freaky," she smirked.

Dixoho laughed a little at the woman as the smirk appeared on her face. "Don't we all. Good Evening Sir," Dixoho said with a small hint of the affection she felt for him. She didn't need him saving her from some Terran woman when she killed people for a living a lot of the time.

Zeti resisted the urge to roll her eyes at Dixoho, before she focused on one of the Kavi sisters. Mercia was an agent of chaos, much different from her far more ridged and organized approach. "Don't take food off of my plate again Kavi, or I'll have to introduce you to my knife. She's a vampire knife, likes blood."

"She and I would get along swimmingly then." Kavi grinned considering testing the womans threat. She glanced around and decided to wait, her time to mess with the spotted freaks would come. "I may want to be introduced soon." she added.

"Oh, I'm sure I'd like to introduce you to her," Zeti smirked at Kavi, giving her a look through her lashes. "You know where my quarters are sweetie."

Mercia plucked something from Zeti's plate and winked at her as she started to walk away, "Oh I do darlin... I know where every freak sleeps." she laughed.

Zeti picked up a very messy ball of meat, she took a second to aim, and then threw it right at the back of Mercia's head. She hit her in the back of the head which got her hair messy and smirked, waiting to lick her fingers until Mercia turned around so she would see Zeti do it.

Mercia turned around slowly, her mouth open. Her hand moved to the back of her head where her tightly coifed hair was now covered in grease. She started to slowly stalk back towards the woman, ready to kill her, her mind started to consider methods to end the aliens life, a storm rising in her eyes.

Zeti slowly licked her fingers off but stood her ground beyond that, she didn't care how tough Mercia was. There was no was she was going to push her around when she let so few others do so. "Oops, it just popped off my plate and hit you in the back of the head."

Not wanting a scene to explode in the current company, Micheal stepped between the women, his back to Mercia. Staring down at Zeti, he spoke quickly and quietly. "Leave now, before things get too much out of hand. Find a different time and place to have your fun." His tone was almost protective of the nonhuman.

"Don't ever tell me what to do again," Zeti growled at the man. "I'm the chief engineer of the Fenris, not some little girl that needs rescuing. Do you think I got there because I can't stand on my own?"

Turning back to face Mercia, Micheal raised his cybornetic left arm to block her path. "Let it go," he growled. "You deserved what you got there. Be glad it didn't go further."

Zeti stepped around him and got in his face, "What did I just say? Who asked you to get in the middle of this? If Mercia and I have something to settle it's between us."

Light danced in Mercias eyes, "You heard the freak, its between me and her." she said enjoying the thought of adding more chaos. "Think very.. very carefully. She's a chief engineer, I'm an assassin, We fight against each other for our own amusement.... or we bond together to put people like you in their place. Do you really want to get between us?" She moved around his arm and next to Zeti, putting her arm around her and smirking at Micheal.

Zeti slid her arm around Mercia, keeping it low on the other woman's hip as she held her close. She didn't say a work, just looked at Michael like she expected him to leave the two of them alone.

Gregnol had been watching the exchanged and walked over to the small group. "You might not like him, but he is a Captain." The Butcher of Betazed said with a look over the group. When had things become so informal? Did he need to put them all in an agony booth?

While surprised, and confused, by the sudden show of support from Reuben, Micheal was stone-faced. Looking at both women with a glare that was full of authoritative anger, Micheal quietly, and succinctly stated, "If either of you ever dare to level a threat in my direction again, you will wish that you were put in the agony booth. Get out of my sight before my good spirits fade away." The tone with which he spoke made it clear that he was not joking around.

Zeti narrowed her eyes at the man, she wasn't one to care about rank or to be easily intimidated. She'd earned her place as a non-human among humans and was not about to let anyone trying and make her look like she didn't belong. She was hot, but she didn't sleep her way into her job.

"I guess we'll be on our merry little way then," Zeti turned with her arm still around Kavi. "Come on, I need another drink anyway."

Micheal watched the two women walk away. While it didn't register on his face, inside, he was livid. How dare they treat him as they had! He would make sure that, when the time was right, they would get their just punishments. And then there was the Russian, he thought to himself. What the hell is his game?! Micheal looked over at the back of his nemesis, suddenly wondering just how to react. He would have to keep an eye on Reuben.
