Kula stepped cautiously into the science labs, looking around with a curious gaze. Spotting the science chief and Dr Sorel, she walked over to join them. “Hello, can I be of any help?” To those who knew Mwezi, she was similar, but different. About 6 feet tall, she was significantly shorter than her 8-foot tall fiancée, while still being on the taller scale compared to humans. Mwezi tended to stand with a hunch as a result, while Kula stood straight, with excellent posture. she still seemed to make herself smaller, keeping her arms tucked close to her body. She held her hands in front of herself and gave a shy wave to the two officers.

“Greetings.” Adrian said as he looked up from setting a bag down on the antigrav sled. “Would you know anything about the requirements for soil alkalinity in growing herbs?” He asked curiously.

~Dr. Adrian Sorel

Kula considered the question. “Not in detail, but it should be simple to ask the computer. Its databanks are full of a wealth of knowledge on many topics.”

Varen smiled as he couninuted to move things around, “Hello” he said to Kula wondering who she was, he had not seen another scientist coming aboard.

Kula turned to Varen then, placing her hand on her chest and dipping her head. “You must be Varen Jorath of Trill, Chief of Science. I am Kula of Galdor. You may be familiar with my partner, Mwezi. He has been on this ship for several years, and myself and our other partner were given permission to join him recently. I am trained in Physics and Astronomy, and Mwezi suggested that I come to you and seek a position as a laboratory assistant, or something similar, to occupy my time while I am aboard. I wish to be useful.”

Not knowing much about the Galdor culture he returned the gesure placing his had on his chest lowering his head as well, “It’s an honor to have you in my lab” he said righting himself. “Lets help Dr Sorel here get his soil situated and then I’ll show you around the labs.” he noted with a warm smile

Adrian nodded, “Thank you, I appreciate the help.” He said as he put the bag he was holding onto the sled.

~Dr. Adrian Sorel

Kula nodded, grabbing a bag and helping stack them onto the sled. “What specific herbs are you intending to grow? If specific soil alkalinity is required, knowing the identities of the plants may assist in planning the layout of the soil beds.”

“Just some general herbs such as chamomile, hawthorn, yarrow, elderberry, and a few others.”

~Dr. Adrian Sorel

OOC: Note your last bump is out of thread.. So i’m replying here instead.

Varen sat now in the background helping where needed but he did not want to interupt the conversation. Listened intently though as he new little on plant biology other than the basics.

Kula turned to a small device strapped onto her wrist and began to fiddle with it, a small holographic screen projecting out of it after a moment, displaying a series of details. “Chamomile and Elderberry, neutral PH (5.6-7.5). Hawthorn is a tree, and can handle a wide range of PH. Yarrow prefers acidic PH (4.5-7.0),” she read off the screen, before dismissing it. “How is that for an answer?”

“Excellent! Are you able to send that info to my data pad?” Adrian asked as his eyes lit up with interest. “Since the plants require different ph levels, I believe I will create a box like separation between each variety so I can work with each individual soil. I am sure I can replicate specific box separation sizes.”

~Dr. Adrian Sorel

“A pH in the low 6s would be appropriate for all of the plants,” Kula observed.

“Ah, excellent.” Adrian said as he began to spread the dirt into the beds and spread it out.

~Dr. Adrian Sorel

Kula knelt down and helped spread the dirt, although she did take a moment just to push her fingers into the dirt and enjoy the feeling of it. “Mm..” She shook her head slightly and went back to helping out.

Adrian grinned at her reaction, it made him look so much younger than his years, that boyish grin. And odd perhaps on a Vulcan face. But he had been raised mostly on Starfleet ships and Earth so it perhaps wasn’t so unusual that he did not carry the usual Vulcan stoicism.

~Dr. Adrian Sorel

Varen looked around as he realized the time, “Well this has been fun you two, please make your selves at home, I must see to my duties.” he noted and then then turned to leave the room.

Adrian finished smoothing the dirt in and stepped back to look at the finished job, “There we go, thank you so much, Lieutenant for your assistance.” He said to Jorath before the other officer disappeared. “And thank you as well, Kula. I will balance the ph levels just before I plant the seeds. Your help has been invaluable.”

~Dr. Adrian Sorel
OOC: I am going ahead to end this thread as I will be heading on LOA Friday until February 11th. Thx guys for participating!

Kula smiled, patting the soil once more before standing. “I should ask Lt. Jorath what duties I can assist with,” she left, following the CSO out of the garden room.
