Posted by Captain Viktoryia Ravenfall (Commanding officer) in Formal meeting with COS Ensign Deb’ora rang the COS Office to see what he or she had for for Me’l . She stood quietly and waited for the doors to open. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Ens Me’lonna Deb’ora, SO : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : OOC: Sorry, hectic work schedule for last 3 weeks has beat me down a bit. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : IC: Lt Tel looked up from his reports and personnel files for a moment. “Enter,” he stated flatly vefore looking back to his reports. He did little to notice the two officers standing in the corridor. “How can I help you?” : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : -Lt. Tel : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : “ if memory serves I believed you wanted to meat with us sir” Luna said calmly. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Ensign Luna : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : OOC: it’s ok. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : “That I did Ensign, please have a seat.” He stretched his neck back for a moment and sat up straight. “I wanted to have a formal inspection of my personnel and ensure that my own nature does not cause distrust with my officers. I am not a joking man, nor am I one to tolerate pranks in our department. This is one of the reasons I come across as rather gruff or unfeeling to most of the crew I have worked with before.” He paused to take in Luna’s body language. This one aspect usually told Dustin more than words ever would. “Our first meeting wasnt my intent to intimidate. However, I did note the bit of panic or vulnerability you showed when I boarded. So I would like to learn more about you and offivially break the ice here. The more I can understand about my officers the more I can help train them.” He stated flatly, “So please, share a drink with me and let us talk.” He crossed over to his office replicator. =^=Oolong Tea, Honey sweetened, hot.=^= The Lt. motioned for her possible order. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : -LT. Tel, CoS : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Luna preferred to stand the office was small and there were two people in it she did not really know. Trust was earned, and considered her history it made sence. The feathers on her wings were fluffed out a bit. She was uneasy and therefore in a more defensive stance. “ what exactly do you want to know” she said. She was not just going to give him information. She did not trust him. : : : : : : : : : : : : : Ensign Luna : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Dustin sighed, “Ensign, I get the feeling you really dont like me.” He stepped over to a shelf and pulled off a distintly Klingon dagger. “Let me show you something.” : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : The Lt. stepped around the desk and gently placed the dagger on the desk and turned to face the wall. His arms outstretched to his sides.Then he reached up and pulled the pips off his collar and laid them on desk as well before resuming his facing away from her. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : He spoke softly, “If I can not trust my fellow officers or the people I am working with, then I dont deseeve to lead and you can place that blade where it counts. I have even left rank on the table so there are no ranks involved.” He waited for her response. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : -Lt. Tel, COS : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Luna shook her head. “ I don’t trust you. That dose not mean I don’t like you I don’t even know you.” She said shook her head again. She put a hand on his shoulder “ will you turn around and face me “ she said. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Dustin turned and lowered his arms. “Now that that is out of the way, can we at least be frank with one another?” : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : She took a deep breath. She dicided to give him a chance “ I’m a human my wings are the result of years of illegal ginetic exsperimentation. Star fleet did not want me I had to prove I was more then just and animal. If that’s not enough bad luck I get kidnaped from the bridge of the ship along with another crow member. You won’t believe me but are kapters we’re the phycodic admiral that turnd his own sun into a borg and the Doctor how made me. Knowing that can you blame me for not trusting you off the bat just because of your rank” Luna said. Her eyes blue eyes studded him carfuly. : : : : : : : : : : : Ensign Luna : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : The Lt. slowly nodded, “I can understand hesitation in your case here. This is why I want to know about my people I am working with. So I can better estimate their abilities and personallities instead of guessing based off of loose interactions.” He finished replacing his pips back on hos collar and stepped back around the desk, leaving the dagger where it lay. “I can say that it is painfully obvious to others that I am human. I can be crude, blunt, and it comes of rude or haughty. I have been around studying martial arts with a Klingon master and have a few other arts learned as well. Working with the Klingon Dahar Master, I learned the value of being forward and confident in how you speak and act. Something I have picked up and utilize. I havent the time for anything that does not cause progress in one area or another as either work or training.” His features softened a moment, “I want you to know that race, gender, or abilities are not something that define who we are. It is what we do with these descriptors that defines us. I know it would not be an overnight effort, but I wish to show you that I can earn your trust.” : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : -LT. Tel, CoS : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : She blinked unsure of him.” Your already better them most.” She said with a small smile. She relaxed some. “ why did you pick security” she asked. : : : : : : : : : Ensign Luna : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : “To be honest it chose me. I had been assigned as a cadet to the Potemkin. However, I was a brash science officer at the time and kept getting in over my head. We had gone on an away mission to a plabet to get some samples for the Chief Officer and the long story short is I got someone hurt. I had resigned my commission after that and started studying aelf discipline techniques with various Martial arts. I studied with a Shaolin monastary and learned about the inner energy and how it affects the body. I even went to Qonos to study with masters of honor and discipline there. One finds out just how much pain they can take when they continue to challenge a Dahar Master to a contest.” His eyes darkened a moment, “Xit isnt easy to win the respect of the Klingon masters. I spent a few uears studying there and left to fogure out what I wanted in life. Had tried settling down on Telkas 4 until we fot raided by Orion pirates. A Federation vessel, the Prince of Persia, had sent teams to help us. I grabbed a kjaser and helped defend my home and kept people safe. The Captain saw it and offered me a commission. The rest is history, as they say.” : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : -Lt. Tel, CoS : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Luna studded him carfuly. She did not say anything else. She just watched him her eyes were keen. She was still uneasy. She opend her wings slightly befor closing them again. : : : : : : : Ensign Luna : : : : : : : : : : : : OOC: Bump : : : : : : : : : : Ooc: Sorry, slipped through the cracks. : : : : : : : : : : IC: Dustin did note the movement of the wings, “So tell me, what speeds can you attain with those.” He motioned towards the wings, “How much weight can you carry while in flight?” : : : : : : : : : : -Lt. Tel, CoS : : : : : : : : ” to be honest my daughter is better at flying then I am. I’m personal best is 40 feet high and wail I was pregnant I was able to carry my child’s father. But that was during a holodeck incident. Other then that i have not had the interest to test what I can do in flight.” she paused for a moment. There was a reason for her response. It took her a moment to figure out how to word it. ” I’m lacking some of the mussels needed to sustain flight for long periods of time. It’s got something to do with the experiments done on me when I was little” she said. She shook her head trying to keep the memory away. : : : : Ensign Luna : : : : : : : : OOC: I thought it ok : : : : Christina : : : : : : Bump : : : : Dustin nodded as he sipped his drink. “Have you thought of cybernetic prosthetics to give you the extra muscle strength to keep flight? Flying under your own power and being able to carry weight could be most useful in our field. Tactical advantage that would be mostly unaccounted for bynpossible enemies.” : : : : -Lt. Tel, COS : : “No I don’t know that was possible, wouldn’t that require ummm… sur” she said then looked at the ground. She shut her eyes tightly and dug her nails into her arms. For a few moments her mind flashed back to when she got her wings. There was a flaw in the exsperiment that created her wings. Her wings formed inside her back from the mussel that she needed to fly properly. The doctor had to operate on her in order to have her wings on the outside of her body where they belong but also keep her alive. However he did it wail she was fully awake, witch was do to her exstremly sensitive respiratory track, and the doctor was crazy. : : The episode lasted less then a minute. She took a few deep breaths. “ he can’t hurt me” she muttered quietly before looking at Lt. Tel. Episode shush as the one that just happened were exstremly rare, it was just dumb luck that LT. Tel had been able to trigger one. : : Ensign Luna : : OOC: the limitation for Luna’s flight was set when I first created the caricter bet the sight mods. So if it’s ok to give Luna the full ability to fly perhaps the cybernetic prosthetics are a possibly for us to explore. It would require both LT Tel and someone from medical to earn Luna’s trust. Could lead to some interesting caricter divelpment. : Christina Ooc: Its all in where you want to take this characters development. He suggests because of thinking tactically. Remember, he trained with Klingons. His mind works like a machine. -Josh

OOC: I say we continue with this concept. It will create some interesting character development for both are caricatures. I’ll waght for your caricatures response before I post in caricature again.
