“I’m driven, at times to the exclusion of everything but what I am working on. I entered Academy 2 years early. I am told I managed that because I am so bright. I think it’s because I was too stubborn to give up. I love my work in science and learning about other cultures and civilizations. I enjoy mentoring others and how command stretches and challenges me.” Shedda took a deep breath, “And I hate my mother and everything she represents.”

Sair studied Shedda for a moment. “I see. While I have a small familiarity with Orions, I can’t say I am deeply understanding of the culture. What is it that she represents that you hate so much?”

“The first thing you have to understand about Orion society, no matter what the appearance may be, women control everything with $e%. They use their pheromones to control everyone around them. It drives other women to rage and anger, and men to idioticy and controlled only by their base desires. My mother is extremely successful. Powerful even. Women don’t need to use their bodies, or in this case, their pheromones to be successful, and my mother perpetuates this myth to keep herself in power and to make slaves of other women and men. It’s disgusting.”

“So is this rejection just of that power play behaviour, or the whole thing? Where do you draw the line?” Sair asked. A lot of this first part of their conversation would be about understanding not just Shedda as a person but the person who was the Executive Officer of this ship.
