“Systems are back in working order, sir. We finished calibrating the repaired sensors last night,” he said, easing back into his seat. He knew what Jensen would want to hear first. “I had hoped to have more time with the Wairara linguistic and cultural data before handing it off to the USS Danielewski, but my loss is their gain. However, I have translated a few of their novels if you’d like some recommendations. They’re not exactly relaxing, but if you like a bit of action in your literature then you might appreciate them.”
Wright spoke next. Her subtle Tycho City accent gave way to a surprisingly accurate impression of her Vulcan friend. It seemed that the two of them had spent quite a bit of time together.
Qi’s eyes glimmered. He was surprised to hear that T’Varen thought so positively of him. Some officers, particularly transfers from other departments, struggled to adapt to his style of working. Many were too committed to the straight march of Starfleet efficiency, and lost sight of the joy in turning over the stones that lined the path. It seemed that T’Varen was able to recognize his positive qualities as a scientist, despite what he suspected to be significant differences in philosophy. He admired that quality.
“You have good taste in friends! Her work so far has been very thorough. I can tell that she’s very comfortable with complex systems.” Qi replied. He knew that anything he said was likely to make its way back to T’Varen, so he made sure to include language that she would appreciate.
d’Tor’an arrived next. The temperature in the room seemed to rise, fueled by her sustained anger. Qi wondered how much longer this would go on, but he certainly didn’t dare to approach her while she was in this state. He waited for someone to diffuse the tension.
