“Doctor Pongo Bubbles, I am Doctor Tauren, reporting for duty this stardate by order of Starfleet Command,” he stated, his body position at a parade rest, and his face tilted only slightly downward so that his eyes could focus directly on the person he was addressing.

-Tauren, Doctor

Pongo looked up when addressed, he had read he was getting a new member of his staff soon. This must be the Doctor he had been expecting. Tuan were rare in starfleet, being as Doctor Bubbles was the only one at the moment. Pomgo’s upper and lower cream grey and tan lips rolledcback in a smile as he took in the doctor. Where as the vulcan people were emotionally controlled and stoic, it was obvious Doctor Bubbles wore his openly. The slight of height, and slightly pudgy doctor with red gold furr, turned and walked towards his newest team member.

“Welcome, Welcome Doctor Tauren, Have a seat” Pongo said with a voice that rumbled deeply despite his size, waving him back towards the CMO’s office.

For a moment, Tauren was slightly confused, as he pondered the conflicting instructions to follow his commanding officer, and to sit down. ‘He must have meant for me to follow him to his office, then to sit,’ he decided, and made his way inside. He knew it would do little to no good to refuse the invitation to sit down, in his experience such refusal was usually misinterpreted as rudeness or insubordination, and the imposition really was quite minimal all things considered.

He sat down in the offered chair, then gave a nod. “If I might inquire, should I address you as Dr. Pongo, or Dr. Bubbles, or is the division of the name itself considered culturally inappropriate?”

Pongo swarmed slash clambered up into the chair behind the desk, like a child getting into his father’s chair. While a bit comical in execution as he did so, nothing about his posture and bearing said immediately it was not his chair. Warm brown eyes regarded the Vulcan across from him. His lips rolled back in another smile as he settled, and laughed a bit. “Well I could bore you with the full naming conventions, and traditions of the Tuan, but to answer your question, the me that is me is called Pongo, but officially Doctor Bubbles, or Commander Bubbles. Honestly as long as I know you mean me I will likely answer. Especially since neither name is the entirety of my name.” Pongo stretched his arms out wide, “If I used them all it could take all day to sign things.”

The office reflected the being in many ways, there were plants that were secured in place to give the room a green aura, and a bowl of fresh fruit on the desk on side, a bowl of mixed nuts on the other. His current stacks of PaDDs was not overly large, so either there was not much going on or he stayed on top of things. “What do you prefer to be called?” Pongo asked with yet another smile, and wiggle of settling. The furry doctor seemed to be in motion even when still.
