Ranlei shrugged “It wasn’t exactly a romantic moment. It was more that I have had some very bad experiances with females who assume I threaten the fidelity of their relationship so I tend to shy away from women who are being extra nice in what can only be called self defence. So she was being insistant about us doing a excercise program together. I was uncomfortable so tried to disengage and she ordered me to participate. Iobliged the request by kissing her. She may not of meant it in a sexy ual manner but I am a Green Orion . Sexuality defines pretty much every time interaction I have ever had with every person I have ever met. Which includes the Aznaxian Ambassadors son. Think of a squid only twice as many tenticles intelligent and they have a helium gas bag so float in the air. Fun date though.” Ranlei said with a great deal of amusement and a mischievious grin, She was likely pulling the councilors leg but her smile actually got brighter as she seemed to reflect on the memory. Snapping out of it she said, “Yeah Doc that sounds good. Ihaven’t been able to deal with it on my own.”, as she tried to bring her thoughts back to business.

“If you were uncomfortable with that situation and power was misused, I hope that you filed a report with the appropriate chain of command,” Katie murmured, her voice and her facial expression growing serious and concerned despite Greene’s attempt at levity.

Ranlei shrugged. “While I am sure ordering someone to spend time with you to form a friendship isn’t strictly proper. I admit to being flattered by the attention. I am rather aware of the fact that I tend to discourage women from getting close to me and came to realise that I am at fault in some of the incidents I have had with women because by evading them I made myself seem suspicious to them. No truth is Katie I kissed her thinking it would make her uncomfortable and get her to leave me be. So if anyone was improper it was me. What I did not expect was her to be comfortable enough to kiss me back. So I ended up triggering my own libedo and left in a hurry for a ice cold shower.”,
Ranlei said and shrugged again. ” So while I am not overly interested in experimenting with women to be honest once triggered my options narrow significantly. It’s a hair trigger by design. I earned some extra credit in the sciences and medical fields by letting then run tests while at the academy. I and the science students learned a great deal about what makes me tick.”, Ranlei said fairly bemused by where the conversation had turned.

Katie shifted in her seat as she listened to Ranlei, which was the only sign of the slight discomfort she felt at the ensign’s words. It wasn’t necessarily her job to right the wrongs of the past, but much of what the woman said rubbed her sense of advocacy in the wrong way. She felt the indentation of her teeth into her lower lip and took a breath, being careful not to display any of the signs of her unrest toward Greene. “Thank you for telling me that, Ensign,” she finally acknowledged. “Is there anything else you would like to share before we end this session?”
