Jarred stared, almost blankly at her, she had spunk and certainly amused him even if she mistook his “on my crew” as meaning in Engineering vs just on the Saracen as a member of the crew in general. Despite her misunderstanding she was delightful to say the least, even if she stole his doughnut. “Well, that’s all good and well sweetie, but… you STILL have not told me anything to do with just what you are building. I like you Kalini, you have spunk and you seem fun as hell to boot. I am not though going to green light anything until you can give me an honest answer. Pretty smile and feminine wiles can only get you so far when you are talking about my ship doll. So how about you tell me what you need these for.” he suggested, wanting her to give him the full story, and not all budging till she did.

Green light, she thought and smiled widely. Oh Mr. Alindor if Captain Knight is on board with my plan you won’t be greenlighting anything. Didn’t you just catch on to my spiel about biologists ruling the world or a ship in this case? You will be devoting every man on your crew to build my megapolis once you find a Devronian mole rat has popped his cage and making a home in those teeny tiny crevices only your T-Rex armed crewman can reach. Still, there was the saying that you catch more flies with honey than vinegar so Kalani toned downed her I rule the universe attitude.

“I need an aquarium and a terrarium,” she said simply. Ten of them that are ten foot high by six foot wide each but we can save that for another time. “I have a few selected specimens for an experiment that I am running. Tell me Jarred, if I may call you that since we are technically not on duty. How big are your quarters? I mean you have a bedroom, living area, bathroom,” she let her voice trail off a bit. “Now imagine if all you had was the bathtub. Wouldn’t you want a space that is like this,” she spread her arms wide, “instead of a space like this,” she made a frowny face and shook her head no as she made a small box with her hands.

Jarred arched his eyebrow, much of what she needed could be used on the ship if Captain Knight didn’t agree. It didn’t hurt to have the extra and he didn’t hate the idea. He used to love the animals he found on the Starbase as a kid, it was the only thing he enjoyed. People lost pets all the time and he found them, and often kept them. Wanting to keep them on the ship would be an interesting place to visit if Kalani was truly serious. “I can live with that, sounds intriguing. I have a little bit of experience building things like that. I would love to help you. I will get everything you need, most of this stuff can be reused if Dante refuses so I don’t think it’ll hurt to have a little bit of excess if he does. For my measure, I will make sure they give you all you need though.” Jarred said.

“Thank you,” Kalani smiled reaching down for the donut. Jelly filled donuts were not her favorite but she had gutted this one so it was only a lump of fried dough with some powdered sugar on top. Picking up the donut she raised it to her lips.

Jarred quickly slapped the doughnut out of her hand and took it and licked it before giving it back to her. “Still want it?” he said as he smirked, he wasn’t really mad but he was enjoying the banter. “Be careful what else you take of mine I may lick other places.” he said with a wink, before it dawned on him what he said. “I mean… I… you know I mean right?” he said as he looked down his cheeks blushing ever so slightly as he bit his lower lip as he took a small breath in. She was fun, he could do this for hours on end, but that would mean being stuck on this base longer than he desired.
