"You could say that," Paula agreed with a wry grin. She'd read an update on the soda investigation that morning, curious to know whether anything conclusive had been found.

"I'll bet you do meet all kinds," she chuckled. "I can understand that, though, wanting a new space. It's why I'm here."

"I'm a biologist," Paula replied, pausing to take a sip of her own water.

"You study life," Guinan noted with a smile. Slipping on a pair of sunglasses, she turned back to the water. "Sounds a lot like bartending."

Like bartending... "I never thought of it that way," Paula replied with a surprised grin. She leaned back in her chair, mulling over this new idea.
