Xenara was a bit shocked at the First Officer's reaction in front of the Captain, but she was glad her ploy worked; she knew the Trill had a sense of humor and wasn't afraid to display it. Xenara feigned surprise and crossed her legs again and leaned toward the Commander. She sat the black box on the PADD she always had with her that had been on her lap.
"He is cute isn't he," she said "But then I haven't met 'Carley' yet. I haven't had any of those type of encounters, but I've always been open to new experiences. Coppala seems to be a bit of a conversationalist, and an adrenaline junkie, and with the new upgrades to my nano-exoskeleton - thanks to Commander Lorien, in time I may just be able to...experience some of that."
The Elaysain was no master of metaphor, which was ironic since she was an avid reader, which is why she always carried a PADD with her; books were too inconvinent, and besides, she had access to just about every book she could want anyway from the computer. And the Trill Commander seemed to be able to catch on to her veiled jokes rather quickly. Normally Xenara didn't see this type of interaction during mieetings of this sort. It was quite refereshing to say the least.
It was then she realized she needed to let the dynamic duo know about her upgrades. They probably worried about the implications of them, but Alex had made it quite clear he wasn't about to turn her into some godly super soldier.
"The nanites in my new exoskeleton suit have already adapted and compensated to the point where I can walk without looking like I have cerebal palsy. That's not me saying that, it's people who have commented on my awkawrd gait. And now I don't have to explain myself. I still have issues, but in time the nanoexoskeleton suit will work those out as well. I'll never be a solider or anything like that, but I can learn to defend myself physically now and not rely on phasers. It also comes with a very convenient outfit changer. Changing clothes is still a chore, and this upgrade takes care of that. But in time the suit should compensate for that as well. While it can't do much for the actuall pull of gravity, it more than makes up for it in other ways. Would you like a demonstration?"
She realised she had talked longer than she had planned, but she felt like the two higher ups didn't mind and needed the explaination.
"Apologies, Captain, probably should have given you the abridged version."
