Ebru shuddered as they re-materialized on the transporter pad of the memorial, the experience incredibly strange with the new addition of their symbiont. It felt different, and they were creeped out even as Sogum’s memories assured them it was a normal sensation for the joined. “Ebru, intelligence.” They offered to the transporter chief before realizing that was no longer accurate. “Er, Ebru Tan, that is.” They flushed, feeling wrong-footed, but Ebru straighten up nonetheless. “Where can I find Lieutenant Beckett?”

-Ebru Tan, Intelligence

The transporter chief. “Welcome to the Memorial. I believe Lie–” He paused as the doors opened, admitting a dark-haired woman in her late thirties with piercing blue eyes, wearing lieutenant pips. She was slightly taller than average, with the weight and build of someone who spent their entire career engaged in frequent vigorous exercise. “Right here,” she said and offered her hand to the junior grade Lieutenant. “Lieutenant Beckett. You transported over a little faster than we expected.”

Ebru shook her hand with a small smile. They wouldn’t call their new chief intimidating, but she had the air of someone who knew exactly what she was doing. “Yes ma’am, they thought I would need to gather my things.” Left unsaid was that they were straight off of a mission, meaning none of their things had been theirs.

“If you’ll come with me,” she gestured and led them out through the door into the corridors. Pulling out a PaDD she sent a quick update to Mazie. “I understand you were only recently joined with Tan?”

Ebru ducked their head in acknowledgment, grimacing slightly. “Yes ma’am. Mebil, the ambassador that is, refused any visible security, so I took the place of his aide.” They knew the mission report was available in their file, but why make her search it up. “Certain people weren’t happy with his political career.” They realized it was likely incomprehensible to someone without an understanding of Trill culture. “Tan’s first host was a politician, and Mebil came too close to reassociation for them,” they clarified. Symbionts were supposed to have new experiences, but to Ebru a planetary ambassador and a local governor seemed different enough.

She nodded. “I can see where there would be overlap. Both are involved in politics. But ambassadors don’t make policy. They just influence those who do. But a former politician makes, sometimes, for a pretty solid ambassador. A strong background in political science and knowing how politicos think is always useful.” She shrugged one shoulder. “I don’t blame some trill for not seeing where the distinction is though.” She flashed Ebru Tan a momentary smile.

“So what would you say our specialty is? I saw from your records, between all your various hosts, you have a wide range of skills. Do you have a particular focus or are you more of a –” She paused for a second. “I would say a Jill of all Trades, but it doesn’t really translate well with a plural pronoun.” Waving it off, she tilted her head, a silent gesture for them to continue walking. “However you want to frame it, what’s your strong suit?”
