Two Vulcan members of the television crew wandered into the science lab and looked around. “We are looking for the chief science officer,” the female said flatly as she scanned the room. The male looked around and eyed the lab set up before adding, “And any other scientists that would be willing to talk about the work they do here.”

Looking up from the computer screen at her workstation, Riani let out a soft squeak as she realised that those two must be part of the television crew. Hoping they hadn’t heard her squeak, she said with a slightly trembling voice, “Lieutenant Petrakos is in his office. At least he was about half an hour ago or so.” As she spoke, Ria pointed in the direction of the CSO’s office and hoped that they wouldn’t want to interview her off all people.

Achilleas was indeed in his office and the door was open. He had heard… something, but the words weren’t distinguishable. Curiosity piqued, he got up from his desk and walked to his doorway where he then leaned against it while gazing out.

The first one, a male with a pronounced jaw dipped his head politely at Iyun and moved on towards the CSO’s office. The second, a female, taller than her male counter part and stockier, but softer features stayed with the Ensign. “You squeaked,” she said to Iyun flatly, “Is the gas mix in the new ship not conducive to proper speech patterns?” Out came a notebook and a tap of a button on the side for her glasses. “Please speak honestly and openly. It is imperative that you conceal nothing that would prevent the truth from reaching the masses.”

Her face a bright shade of scarlet, Ria found herself simply staring at the reporter for several moments. When she finally found her voice and the right words to say, she replied with a soft tremble in her voice, “No, the gas mixture is exactly as it should be and had no effects, adverse or otherwise, on anyone. You simply startled me.“ Ria tried to maintain eye contact and to sound as confident as possible. But soon her gaze dropped and she was never brave or confident, especially when talking to strangers.

The first one reached Petrakos about the same time the interrogation, er, interview began. “Lieutenant. We are here to interview you on your perceptions of the scientific capabilities of your new ship, what you think is better about it than the previous incarnation, and a tour such that we can have b roll footage,” he said bluntly before flashing a press pass badge.
