After a quick stop at his assigned quarters Zoz set off to do what was required of any crew new to a Starship. He st out for medical. He was greeting each and every crew person he met in a friendly manner so as not to alarm them. He was facinated that so many of the humanoids even Starfleet personel were so easily upset by the sight of him.
“Hello. Do not be alarmed. I am a Argozonite and a member of this crew now. I hope to get to know you better.” Was starting to sound a bit less than sincere after the 30th or 40th time he had said it. He avoided using gender identifiers as all humanoids looked alot alike to him so he might easily mistake details. His own species were both male and at the same time and even after years amongst humanoids the idea of differing persons having one or the other often confused him. He was tired of greeting persons by the time he arrived in sickbay and so floated in quietly and hovered next to a person gathering his thoughts as to what to say to them.

Hearing a murmur outside his office Jack stood up to investigate and although he had been expecting said crewmember he was indeed surprised by his appearance, there was only so much holopics and medical journals could show. He tugged his jacket and cracked his neck and moved forward, maintaining his regular expression of neutrality. “Ensign Sauce Ekkilon?” His Scottish brogue giving the alien name a… unique approach “I’m Doctor Grey” Trying his best to give an outward expression of calm his inner scientist was more excited than he had been in a long time “You here for your checkup then?” He asked trying to sound casual.

Humanoids often had strange ways of pronouncing Argozonite words and names so Zoz wasn’t overly surprised as the mangling. He blinked his facing eye at the person before him and raised a tenticle toward it as ritual manipulative clasping was a fairly common humanoid custom. “Pleased to meet you Doctor. Refrence documentation identifies you as the officer in the leader role for medical personel. Satisfaction is felt at the honor bestowed by your attention to the needs of this unimportant personage. “, he said in a sighing whisper . “It is factual that this person requires a examination prior to begining service.”, he whispered as another tenticle retrieved a padd containing Medical data on Argozonites which he offered to the doctor person Grey. “The data matrixes of the Federation do not syncronise well with those of my people as yet. In part this is because we do not wish to expose a less advanced culture to more sophisticated technologies than that culture has as yet created. This is in respect for your primary ordinance pertaining to cultural contamination of primatives.” He whispered matter of factly. Though he was a dubious term to use for any Argozonite as they were actually both genders at once. Zoz-Eki-Ion,s soft voice had a deep enough tone that most who didn’t know better would assume it was male. He floated midair with the finger like didgits 3 per tenticle 20 tenticles total were a few inches off the ground. The squid like bullet shaped body had 4 eyes equi distant from each other so as to give him a 360 degree view around himself. Cartilage rather than bone made up a Argozonies skeletal frame which had the side effect of making Zoz only weight around 40 lbs if he had ever actually landed. Tip of tenticle fingers to top of head he was only 4 feet rall. His skin was a greyish blueish . As a uniform he wore a pleated kilt like garment in black and his service color. In this case security yellow goldish the side facing the doctor sported a com badge. If anyone had asked Zoz he would of said the color of the kily was hideous.

Initially, Jack was confused as to where to look at him but he quickly focused on the eye facing him. Grasping the tentacle, meekly at first then tightening his grip as one would any other humanoid. Oddly formal speech pattern, make note of the words chosen He thought “The pleasure is mine” He gave a curt nod “If you would, please get on or more precisely over the Biobed” He said pointing at the nearest bed after accepting the PaDD “Although any relevant information about you should already have been submitted through the proper channels” He said quite coldly “Surely during your academy days that information was transferred over to Starfleet MEdical and the like?” He asked.

Zoz blinked, that is to say he blinked the eye facing the doctor. The other 3 eyes examined the room in detail . Zoz shook the doctor hand then floated over to the biobed and floated over it draping his tenticles to either side of the bed no part of him actually touching the bed. He pivited so that two of his etes could examine the doctor half hooded, “Your intonation indicates exasperation or frutration or that you are frustrated. Argozonite practice is to not allow data on us to remain on systems we do not directly control. The Federation articles indicate that respect for custom and practices of member species is of paramount importance. In keeping with our culture information is kept strictly need to know. You doctor need to know baseline data at this time The padd contains what you need to know. Other data is witheld to protect the integrity of of the prime ordinance pertaining to the dissemination of information to primatives. Thus should you attempt to copy, transcribe or otherwise disseminate the information on this padd it will wipe itself in a unrecoverable manner. The padd is set so that it will wipe itself in a unrecoverable manner should any person who is not you try to access the information on it. This is done to prevent infringement of the Federations primary ordinance. To permit the breaking of this ordinance on my part would be negligent on my part. It is assumed thatcas a member of the command staff you have a interest in following the regulations and strictures of the Federation. It is thus incomprehensable that doing so should cause you displeasure, frustration or inconveinance. I do not understand your tone doctor.”, Zoz whispered as he floated over the biobed with concern over how he had caused offence evident in his soft voice.

Jack stopped for a moment, stared at the strange-looking alien and blinked thrice. Then after that pause he laughed and quite merrily at that. Although he had been annoyed at first S/he’s answer was quite amusing to him “Egh you shouldn’t try bothering reading my tone” He shrugged after returning to his previous tone. He quickly read through the information on the PaDD “But if you don’t want the information here to stay here then joining something like Starfleet is not perhaps the wisest course of action” His tone much calmer “I will respect your cultures choice on this and not copy this information but I feel I must warn ye that once I absorb any information I am incapable of forgetting it, at least so far, I’m only thirty so I have more to learn about my own mind” Jack shook his head “In any case, are there any specific medical issues that you suffer from?” He asked turning professional once more.

Zoz thought that over a bit then chose to amswer the doctor in the order of the doctors statements, “If I refrain from reading your tone I will be unable to judge the veracity of your statements. Humanoids often use a conversation device known as sarcasm that use if is usually only indicated by tone of voice. I must admit that dispite four years at the academy humanoid facial expressions do not import the same meanings to me that they do to humanoids. It is hard for me to recognise one insdividual humanoid from another. Minot ohysiological differences do not register as the humanuoid esthetics are displeasing. It is hard to look at you closely as your form is quite hideous . No insult intended Doctor. You might be a very perfect specimine to your own speices I am just unable to appreciate your form.”, Zoz said in a embarrassed tone.
“It is not my wish to deprive you of information you feel you require. However do to the nature of your own set of regulations and the desire of my species to function properly within the restrictions and statuets of your collective Federation, it is the express desire of the Association that we not deviate from the articles of Federation as expressed by your elected personages of wisdom. Thus as a designated enforcement individual I must go to extrodinary lengths to ensure they are abided by in full either byy myself or others.”, he said declaratively and was quite pleased at the clarity of his statement.
Zoz inspected himself mostly as much as he could running his fingers over himself in those locations he couldn’t look at. ” All indications are that I am intact and whole and in good health doctor. “You are very young to be in a position of such responcability doctor. Though I understand that most humanoids do not live as long as my speices and must thus learn to be useful and productive much younger than is our habit.”, Zoz stated with obvious amazement.

Jack laughed out loud “I’m thirty-one years of age my floaty friend, it is not unusual as such for a Doctor of my age to retain the position of Chief Medical officer at my age, although I do admit I am a bad example” He said lowering his scanner “In any case don’t mistake a Humans shortness of life as a deficit on ability. Besides, I’ve found that longevity only brings arrogance and shortsightedness to the table, wisdom does not always follow age.” He shrugged “In any case, you are free to begin your duties.”

Zoz floated away from the biobed and stopped he reached out a tenticle and touched the Doctor on the arm as s/he had seen humanoids do when they called each other friend. S/he refrained from wrapping tenticles or hugging s/he thought it was called as it apparently had associative meanings depending on gender that Zoz wasn’t sure he completely understood and what little understanding of the subject s/he did have left him unsure s/he wanted to know.
“Friendship doctor? That state would be acceptable. I am not going to judge a persons capacity by their age. Nor by other criteria that humanoids seem to place importance on. But while it is possible for longer lived individuals to stagnate the nature of the Argozonite Assembly tends to prevent that. Our guiding principal is the fluidity of ideas. We form opinions but we modify those opinions to reflect current realities. I do not remain bound to any concept if that concept does not conform to testable reality. The association never stops testing it’s opinions doctor. We have seen cultures and species flourish and wither because they assume they are the alpha species. The Vulcan’s we believe were on a enlightened path forming the concept of IDIC but then stagnated bound to traditions that they tried to shape reality to fit. The association wishes to live within reality not shape reality to suit us. If we sound arrogant in assuming that our technology is superior it is not to belittle or agrandize you or ourselves. It is mearly the reality as we now know it. We have formed ties with the Federation because we see potential. But it is Yours to achieve or not achieve.” S/he said as s/he resumed heading out the door.
