It was a rare day both Faye and Daggum were off together, but today was one of them. After a nice morning of… calisthenics… Daggum had opted to take a shower after Faye, citing a need for “… hydration and recuperating.” So it was with him in the shower and Faye not that the comms in their quarters chirped and a voice said =/\= Bridge to Commander Hammor. Incoming comm from Orion. =/\=

Unknown Caller

It was likely about his project and she could at least tell them to wait a few minutes, so Faye activated the comm and said, “Put it through.”

She moved over to the desk, the soft pale green oversized sweater sitting lopsided on her shoulders, exposing one. Faye was feeling pretty relaxed (as well she should) and given how out of sorts she had been feeling lately, it was a precious sensation. As she sat, Tess hopped into her lap, her fluffy grey tail batting her in the face. Faye pushed it away and laughed softly.

~Faye

It was a long moment later when the comms connected. An Orion female was framed in the screen, but her face was unfamiliar. A confused look passed over her as she said =/\= No, no. =/\= and cursed loudly. =/\= Send me back to that other one. I want to speak to Lieutenant Commander Daggum Hammor, not whoever in the nine hells you are. =/\=

Unknown Caller

Faye folded her arms on the desk, brows quirked. =/\=He currently occupied. But I might be able to help. Who are you?=/\= The amount of frustration from the woman was a little excessive, but then again Faye had no idea how the woman’s day was going or what sort of rigamarole she might have gone through to get to Daggum.

~Faye

The woman snorted derisively and said =/\= I doubt that. Go fetch him, now. Unless of course your hourly rate has been… used up. =/\= and she looked back over her shoulder as she covered the mic with her hand and said something.

Unknown Caller

Oh, wow! It took all of Faye’s willpower not to just shout obscenities back at the woman. She knew all too well what it was like to be categorized and depersonalized by an Orion woman. Different contexts, of course, but that feeling of being deemed less-than was overwhelming. Her eyes narrowed as storm clouds rolled through them. =/\=No, actually I won’t do that. Now, if you want to talk to Daggum and not have me hang up on you in the next few seconds, you’ll tell me who you are. Because frankly, at this point I don’t care and you’re not worth my time.=/\=

~Faye

A look of smug superiority spread across the woman’s face as she looked back and smiled. =/\= You have fire. I hope you charge him extra for that. Now go get him, and tell him his mother is calling. =/\=

Daggum’s ??Mother??

She blinked. Say what? Nooo way. It wasn’t that Dag didn’t have parents technically, but that they were nonexistent to the point of likely not being still alive. Apparently they were both mistaken. =/\=I don’t care if you’re the most powerful person in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants combined. Refer to me as a prostitute one more time and this call is over? Because even if I were to believe you supplied half his genes, that does not make you his mother. And in his life I take precendece as well I should, as his wife.=/\=

Faye leaned in, her expression dark. =/\=Now that we have that sorted out, you tell me why the hell you’re calling, and now of all times. I’m not just going to go dump this on him because you think you’re owed something. Tell me your name and what the hell you want with Daggum.=/\=

~Faye

The woman leaned back and said =/\= My son would never be so… so… cheap… as to tie himself to a petty human. Fetch him. And if you don’t, I’m quite sure that Admiral Gallren of Star Fleet will be more than happy to order him to take the call. =/\= Gallren was a known factor to almost any advanced officer in Star Fleet. Rumors abounded about the man. Petty, vindictive, wholly corrupt, and with a penchant for making people on his bad side miserable to the point of resignation… and in some cases suicide. But he had very influential friends and nothing had ever been proven. But circumstances led credence to the rumors. The Admiral had been removed from almost all projects and departments, and now existed in a kind of ‘limbo’ where he had authority but no actual responsibility. So he spent his time tormenting those in his sights and trying garner favor with whomever might pay for an opulent meal.

Daggum’s ??Mother?? (With Connections??)
