Diplomatic Offices. Hmm. In another life, she might have ended up in that particular position. Luka glanced around the hall. It’s a pretty quiet day in this area of the ship, she noted as she walked towards the office assigned to one Kaylee Baxter. She pressed the chime after only a moment of hesitation.

Luka, XO

When the door swished open, Luka would find herself in a small office. There was one large desk with two chairs facing it in one corner of the space, and on the opposite wall two large armchairs pitched towards each other with a small end table placed In between.

Seated at the desk was a slender woman with blonde hair pulled back in a high and tight ponytail. Her eyes were a crystal blue and her skin a pale and creamy complexion.

As the door opened, Kaylee looked up, catching sight of the visitor. She stood, moving around the desk, a smile on her face and her hand extended.

“Well hello there!” Kaylee said warmly. “Commander Luka I presume. I’m Kaylee Baxter.”

-Kaylee Baxter

Luka glanced at the extended hand, then dipped her head slightly in a small bow. “I’m glad to meet you, Miss Baxter,” she spoke, her hands remaining to her sides. It wasn’t that she couldn’t shake Kaylee’s hand because of cultural differences, it was just that the shape of her hand was not condusive to such physical interaction.

She lifted her hand to her chest and smiled. Her right palm rested on her chest, then extended out in a graceful motion towards Kaylee. “May your hearts beat strongly, and your love grow wide,” she spoke as she performed the action, then pulled her hand back again, folding her hands in front of herself.

As she performed the salute, it became clear. Her hand, unlike that of a human, had three fingers and a thumb. These fingers were significantly longer than those on Kaylee’s hands, slightly thicker, and covered in the same
type of white fur that covered the rest of the Alien officer’s body. The pads of her hand had furless pads, which were a dark grey colour.

Luka, XO
