Aiden would see a 5’ 10” Caitian Woman her fur pattern was brown but that was because it was a mix of so many colors she had a bright yellow colored oval spot on her forehead in her right ear she had 3 rings and in her left she had 2 she was rather shapely though still clearly fit she wore the typical yellow Operations uniform however instead of Pants she wore the very rare but still an option skirt she also did not have boots on though this was obvious being that Paws and a Digitigrade stance would make wearing boots kind of hard instead she had on what looked like leg armor covering the tops of her paws and covering her legs up to just under the hem of her skirt

Miz’uki

With his rank being mentioned, Aiden turned to face the voice. He wasn’t sure what he expected; he knew the Federation boasted a myriad of lifeforms, but he had yet to encounter a Caitian. “Commander,” he replied, allowing his brain a moment to adjust and recall her name. “Commander Miz’Uki?” he finally added, his tone infused with a hint of inquiry before continuing, “It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

“likewise captain and Yes I am Commander Miz’uki your new Chief Engineer” she said as she offered her hand for him to shake “Figured I would come report in” she added smiling

Miz’uki

“It’s good to know that my late-night efforts to remember at least my command team were worth the trouble,” he remarked with a slight chuckle. “Shall we head to my ready room?” Aiden offered, open to staying on the bridge, going to his ready room, or accommodating any other preference the chief might have. He wanted to ensure their conversation took place in a comfortable setting where they could discuss matters freely.

She gave a slight bow and a wave of her hand in a way that said ‘After you good sir’ and she followed him to the ready room her paws padding softly on the carpet of the bridge her tail swishing back and forth with each step this captain seemed a good sort but she would have some words with him about the status of Maizie

Miz’uki

As they entered the ready room, Aiden gestured towards the seating area, indicating for Miz’Uki to take a seat if she wished. “Please, make yourself comfortable,” he said warmly. “Can I offer you any refreshments? We have a variety of options available.”

As Miz’Uki settled into the chair, Aiden took a moment to reflect on her presence. “I must admit,” he began, “I haven’t encountered many Caitians serving in Starfleet. It’s a pleasure to have you aboard the USS Memorial.” He paused, a faint smile playing at the corners of his lips. “Although, I did have a few Caitian families residing on Starbase 12 during my time there.”

Pouring himself a glass of water, Aiden took a seat opposite Miz’Uki, folding his hands on the table. “Now, Miz’Uki,” he continued, “I’m eager to hear your thoughts on our current situation and any insights you might have regarding the ship and its crew. Is there anything specific you’d like to discuss?”
