Ensign Zoz-Eki-Ion of security was on patrol with another security officer on deck 3 . Like most patrols it was uneventful and mostly consisted of exchanging pleasantries with the crew they passed. Her combadge beeped and she tapped it to respond. =^=Ensign Zoz-Eki-Ion of Security=^=, s/he stated still using the pleasent voice tones and inflection rather than the proffesional serious version. She recognised the voice as belonging to the dispatcher in Security. A decent enough person on most occaisions.
The dispatcher then said, =^=Make your way to the Captains present location she has asked for you.=^=, which caused several tenticles to react in surprise.
Zoz replied , =^= Aknowledged =^=, In the professional voice she should of been using all along. A replacement floater officer the joined up with Zoz’s patrol partner and Zoz floated towards the turbolift after getting the Captains present location from the computer.

“Captain Zoarhi is in her quarters” Maizie replied, “Should I let her know you are on your way to her location?” She asked kindly

MAZIE

AI interfaces were uncommon in the Federation so theMazie interface caused Zoz to look about for the source of the voice .speaking. A combadge at least warned you that it was a remote message. =^= Mazir Interface, It is preferable tht you manifest either via comm call or a holographic representation as a disembodied voice is emotionally vexing to most forms of sentient life. =^=, Zoz said as the turbolift carried h/erm to the right deck. Zoz was rather surprised that Mazie was allowed to operate on a starship. Federation experiances with AI had been universally negative. From encountering Android servents that caused the extinction of their creators to the M3 accidentally commiting mass murder, and the abhorrance for computer run societies evidenced by Starfleet Captains the Federation experiance had been universally negative.
Since s/he was ten steps from the Captains cabin she floated over and pressed the door chime.

OCC There is no MAJEL computer interface on the ship

a Holographic Featureless ball floated down from the Ceiling and when the voice spoke a little line showing the voice as a waveform “I Do apologize I have found that a number of the crew don’t like it when I appear before them and the comm badge is just too confining for me But I will note that you would prefer me to appear before you or talk to you through the comm badge” she replied

“Enter” Came the captain’s voice inside Zoz would find the captain walking over to a table from the Replicator carrying a bowl of Macaroni and Cheese which she set before a small girl another Andorian just like the captain

Captain Zoarhi herself was 5’ 10” her hair was shoulder length but styled in a rather messy way (http://bestpickr.com/wp-content/uploads/2137-750x1000.png) Her Antenna showed many scars while at the same time a small metal band was around her right Antenna Her eyes were clearly Cybernetic implants they were a very bright green “Ahh Ensign Zoz-Eki-Ion. Come in How are you fitting in with the Security Department?” she asked sitting down behind her desk She was in casual off duty clothes at the moment

The Little girl was clearly Tralla’s daughter Lilith she was calmly just mowing down on the Mac and Cheese though she was clearly looking at Zoz out of the corner of her eye not sure how to react to the officer that her mommy was now talking too

Tralla and Lilith

Zoz waved a tenticle at the holographic ball. “It is just that I am used to seeing the being speaking to me. It does not offend but it is more endearing I supose is the term. I would suggest a person form might be a improvement as surely it would give some indication of your personality, mood and present temper provided you where honest in your depiction. If a simple polygon is your prefered form then so be it”, s/he said in a hopefully helpful tone.

Ooc: As a note that was just me mispelling Mazie. Not saying anything about a Majel interface.

Zoz straightend her Kilt then entered as bid. The domestic scene was fascinating and atypical of h/erm interactions with humanoids. That smaller versions grew into adult versions was a typical pattern for living beings., but the actual care and dedication of children by their birth parents, was entirely outside h/erm experiance. S/he couldn’t resist taking notes on 3 seperate pads at the same time. “Captain and sibiling. Appologies for intruding. I was given to understand my presence was required. If the meaning was to schedule a apointment for a later time I will retire and do so.”, that the child was watching h/erm closely if trying to seem like she wasn’t was a curious thing to h/erm as like it or not she saw everything around h/ernself. Zoz waved a tenticle at Mother and daughter in a friendly manner. At least s/he hoped it looked friendly. “I am fitting very well into Security Captain. Being of smallish stature in comparison to the other members of Security I do not require much space and and there is ample room to contain my being. I can take up a lesser space if situation requires it is space on the ship is becoming a concern.”, and to illustrate she curled h/erm tenticles inwards under her Kilt except for the 6 tenticles holding padds or writing on those padds which continued taking notes.

“Thats not quite what i mean by fitting in Ensign its an earth experssion meaning are you getting along with your fellow security officers how are you finding your duties to perform and so on” The Captain said chuckling a bit The little girl suddenly got up and went to a branching bedroom “Lilith you best be getting a start on that homework”
“Yes I am Taltal!” the little girl snapped back very rudely Tralla just sighed and left it for now

“Anyway Ensign I wanted to talk to you more about what your career goals are and to see if you would be interested in an opportunity I may have for you” she said looking at the ensign

Tralla

Zoz, watched the child leave, the tone and the abruptness was distressing. Humanoids often were shocked on seeing h/erm for the first time. She was well aware her appearance was monsterous to some. H/erm mood deflated somewhat in responce asnobody liked being a monster in the eyes of others. “It is satisfactory in Security. The work is fulfilling and the oppurtunity to aid others is pleasing.”, s/he paused a moment. “Goals? I seek to understand and observe So that my species can intergrate into the Federation easily. So far only a dozen of my species are investigating the Federation. We have hopes that greater numbers will wish to do so in future. Within Starfleet my goal is to do my best to provide effective service. My people are so far finding the Federation accepting and inclusive. Your use of a culturally specific idiom not originating in your own culture is indicative of a universal tolorance and understanding that we envy and desire.”, Zoz couldn’t quite help being of mixed emotional states as the child’s reaction potentially added a darker tone of resistance to accepting the truely different that caused her less dominant trails of thought distress. Deep dark Gothic distress that was writing some truely awful poetry so bad Zoz’s entire body wanted to cringe away from it. Fortunately it was written in Argozonian on a padd that in no way could connect to the ships computer or be translated by a Universal Translater.

“Have you thought about advancing through the ranks becoming a Department head and eventually maybe even command positions?” she asked looking at the floating ensign her Cybernetic eyes adjusting and focusing however as she waited for the Ensigns answer she looked down closing her eyes and rubbing the temples of her head and to answer the question she knew was coming “Sorry Ensign These cybernetic eyes give me headaches not to mention its a side effect of when i had been assimilated by the borg” she groaned

Tralla

Zoz hrmm’d and floated closer th the Captain, “Perhaps if you will permit I might be able to aid you with the pain. Romulans as I understand it are related to the Vulcans. The Vulcans by repute have mental abilities that allow such things as telepathy and empathy. My speices do not have such abilities but we do manifest a immunity to the use of such abilities and a form of self only telekineses that we use for locomotion. We therefore use simular meditation techniques to what the Vulcan’s practice. These techniques may with continued practice allow you to overcome the full brunt of the backlash that your implants inflict upon you. They however may not aid you at all. I am in tryth no expert at any of these disciplines not do I have significant knowlege of xenobiology. Being as you might say helpless to so much as bandage a papercut.”, and s/he floated there a moment as her inner dialogs discussed how she felt about pursuing rank and responcability. “I will admit that it might benefit myself to earn promotio and higher posting. But such ambition for self is not a imperative within my cultural normalicy. If I serve the collective assembly better in that capacity then that is what is done. Within the membership of the Argozonite Assembly of the Merchantile Endever my homeship of origin. I served as a scout/explorer/advantage aquisition analyst. Which is a uncommon profession. This is why I was released to explore Starfleet.”, and s/he stopped talking thinking she was over explaining things. “If I am required by the needs of the ship. I will do my best at any task I am assigned.”, s/he stated .

“No It’s fine it will pass,” she said “Well The reason I ask is because Our Chief of Security recently transferred and I have been looking for a new one However before she left she put in a good word with me that you would be a great canidate So Would you be open to the idea of Being our Acting Chief of Security as a trial for maybe a promotion after our next mission to permanent Chief of Security?” she asked

Tralla

Zoz was somewhat surprised,more that h/erm opinion mattered than that someone was needed to fill the job. “If that is the capacity that I am most required for it would be improper to refuse.”, s/he replied. “It is the habit of Argozonites to provide service where it is most needed. Personal satisfaction is neither required nor sought. So forgive me if I find your question a bit strange. It is satisfaction enough to work for the benefit of the homeship Assemblies mutual benefit.”, s/he continued blinking as s/he spoke.

“Very well You will remain an Ensign during the Acting stage of this potential promotion and if you prove to be what we are looking for in a Chief of Security then we will see about promoting you in rank as well as position” she said smiling “Now if you will excuse me Ensign I have to help my daughter with her Homework” she said smiling

Tralla

Zoz said, “Thank you Captain.” And floated out the door.
