Posted by Lieutenant Commander Sifeda Itri (Executive Officer) in Side Sim: Alt. Timeline Itri DH Check-In [Tag CSO]
The next name on her list was Lieutenant V’alura Belmont, Chief Science Officer. She was middle age, there wasn’t much about her education in her profile, but Sifeda couldn’t help but notice her unusual Auburn hair and striking blue eyes. Traits she inherited from her human genes no doubt. Sifeda tapped her comm badge and said, =^=Lieutenant Belmont, this is Commander Itri will you please meet me conference room on Deck 1?=^=

Itri, XO

=^=Sure thing, I’ll be along in two shakes of a dog’s tail=^=

Not long later, V’alura arrived in the conference room. She was in uniform, and her hair pulled back into a bun at the top of her head. Upon her face was light make-up in a natural style that brought out her eyes and downplayed the green blush in her cheeks. “I hope I’m not in trouble,” V’alura said with a grin as she took a seat across from the XO. V’alura appeared calm and relaxed, as though she were at a formal party than a meeting. “What can I do for you?” There was a subtle twang in her speech, something similar to an American Western accent.

Sifeda always seemed to notice human traits and behaviors, especially in beings that were half-human like herself. Maybe because she always honed in on her own and instead of trying to enhance them she focused on minimizing them. It wasn’t that she didn’t like humans, her mother was human afterall and she had loved her dearly. However, being married to a Klingon she’d been conditioned to not let too much of her humanity overtake her personality else she might be perceived as weak.
“Not at all. I just wanted an opportunity to meet you. I’d missed it before but I see you have a PhD in Artificial Intelligence. Quite impressive. What have you done with that?”

If the XO paid any attention to ship scuttlebutt or asked around, she would hear that V’alura was well liked (especially amongst her scientists) with mother hen tendencies and preference for informal address and communication.

Lt JG Belmont, CSO

ooc: V’alura’s education is listed in her profile and it is all publicly available knowledge! Hope that helps.

As she reviewed the previous ship’s mission, she saw they the crew of the Ark Angel had encountered a blob creature that seemed to have wreaked its havoc on the ship. This was something surely the science department had a hand in resolving. “What can you tell me about the last mission, the one that involved this..... blob creature? What would you say was the most defining role for the science department in helping resolve that issue?”

Itri, XO
