Having just arrived aboard, Zirra made her way to the Security Office to report in.
As she made her way down the ship's corridors, she got some strange looks. She greeted them all with a toothy grin.
Entering the Security Offices, she made her way to the Chief's Office and activated the chime.
The door opened to reveal a small dark haired girl. The girl looked up, eyes widening as her eyes settled on the muzzle. "Daddy!!!" She screamed as she ran off into the office, "there's a giant crocodile at the door!"
Seconds later a young male walked up to the door. "Please don't mind my daughter... she's never seen a Gorn before. Please come in."
"Its fine, sir." Zirra said entering the office. "I understand, I have seen 'monster movies' from Earth and I know how I must appear to those who don't know me."
Turning to face the child, she said. "I am Zirra, what's your name, child?"
The girl hid behind her father as an identical girl seemed to be hiding behind a chair. "This is Livinana," Lhaes said with a smile, "but you scared her sister, Evaste." He pointed to the other girl. "And they've never seen monster movies as I consider them a little young for that." He turned fully towards the lizard. "Lieutenant Commander Lhaes Sommers," he introduced himself, though he didn't offer his hand in greeting.
"Nice to meet you, and your daughters, I'm Petty Officer 1st Class Zirra Kajat, sir." Zirra said. She smiled a toothy grin.
"They'll come around once they figure out you don't bite," the Romulan suggested, "have you been assigned quarters yet? I assume you have special needs in terms of habitat and equipment?"
"Not yet, I thought it best to report to you first, sir." Zirra said. "Yes, I prefer my quarters to be approximately 30 degrees Celsius and have 60 percent humidity, but this is not a requirement as the alterations made to my systems allow me to survive within a wider range of environments." She explained.
Lhaes nodded in understanding. "I understand temperature and climate requirements," he informed her, "what about equipment? Anything you need adjusted or are you able to use standard Starfleet equipment?"
"I have learnt to make do with standard equipment." Zirra replied.
"That tends to be the best way to go," Lhaes agreed, "is your weapons training and qualification up to date?"
"Yes, they are. I have qualifications in small arms, bladed weapons, and heavy weapons." Zirra said.
"And hand phasers?" Lhaes prompted, "you'd be expected to use them the most, while on my staff."
"Yes, I include that under small arms, sir." Zirra said.
"Very well... do you have a preference for beta or gamma shift?"
"I'll take beta, a girl needs her beauty sleep." She said with a smile.
"Beta it is. Do you have any further questions?"
"Yes, who is your second in Command, sir?" Zirra asked.
"I have yet to make that decision," the Romulan answered neutrally, "I've only recently taken charge of security. I'll need a commissioned officer I can trust, so the next few weeks will determine that."
"Understood, sir." Zirra said.
Giving her a final nod, Lhaes dismissed her with a wave of his hand, before continuing to focus on the reports on his desk.
