After changing into some garb suited for dirty work, both children and their parents came over to where Fayth was. Faval was the first to speak. “..So Lieutenant, what exactly is my son to be doing today?” He asked.

Chain Gang Detail

Sharah turned to the Lt. He might outrank her a bit, but he was also her subordinate. Which is something she felt he should strongly remember since he was passed over for the position, there must be a reason. Perhaps he should meditate on that a bit. But she kept it to herself. However, the single raised eyebrow and subtle shift in her stance would remind him VERY strongly of the Vulcan monks who taught in the schools. It was a look Sharah wasn’t even aware she had mastered, but it would be intimidating to the man. “Not just your son, Lt. Faval. As adults we are responsible for teaching the children, not just your own, how a Star Fleet officer and a decent person should act. You both,” and her gaze took in Drudoc as well as the children, “will be assisting the children in their work. The counselor will be joining us as well. But in the meantime Lt you will be working with Tel’eck and Cpt you will be working with Ro’nal. I’ve checked your records and you both have the basic understanding of how to transplant a plant. All four of you are equally responsible for the quality of the work. Cpt., Ro’nal follow me, please.”

Drudoc inclined her head to the young Vulcan, who glanced in turn to his father. After a simple nod from Faval, Ron’al clearly grudgingly followed the Captain and Fayth to the task at hand.

Sharah leads them over to a more tropical area. There are several plants in pots here. “There was a problem with the irrigation system. These plants need to be put back into the bed. They are unique and very delicate. Instructions are on the PaDD in the crate Ro’nal. These are living breathing organisms the penalty for harming them will be severe.” Among these plants is a Chameleon rose from Betazed. It will change colors with Ro’nal’s mood and the captains.

Ron’al gave a grunt of acknowledgement and took up the PADD to review the care procedures. Drudoc behind him did likewise over his shorter shoulders. A fact which clearly made the Vulcan teen uncomfortable and probably intimidated.

OOC: Jen if you could go into detail on step by step care I’d appreciate it, while Drudoc has that lovely 24th century education and reference material i on the other hand do not :P

Sharah returns and looks at Faval and Tel’eck. “Come with me, please.” She leads them to a different area. The light here was very dark. Among the plants were midnight orchids, Antarian Moon Blossoms, Night-Blooming Throgni, and a pet Vine. “These, except the vine, are night blooming plants. They are delicate and you will have to work in the low light. The vine is a Pet Vine from Betazed, it likes this area and the other plants here. It thrives. It will shriek if you hurt it. They are out growing this area and need to be moved to the adjacent bed for more room. Instructions are on the PaDD in the crate Tel’eck. These are living breathing organisms; the penalty for harming them will be severe.”

Tel’eck followed along, Faval just behind her. His feelings were more subdued, but clearly distracted some as he kept casting glances over to where his son was with the Captain. Tel’eck meanwhile seemed unaware of Faval’s inattention and read over the PADD instructions. Seeing this finally seemed to do enough of a trick to the older Vulcan male to get him to pay attention enough for the task to come. Instead of reading over the half-romulan girl’s shoulder as she offered to share it, he instead simply took up his own PADD to read it quietly. His attitude to the half-romulan was even colder and indifferent then it was to the Captain a mark of Tel’eck’s mixed heritage perhaps?

OOC: Give give me that sweet sweet info dump please :P

Sharah then moved away. She’d be able to tell what was going on without being right next to either pair, but she did return to both pairs frequently in case they needed assistance.
