Cindy chuckled in return, "Ah yes, of course. I only know the most basic information about the Trill Beno and the superficial official biography that is available to the unit. I know nothing at all about the Velaul part of you or the rich history that you refer to. That must be quite amazing. As to the various pioneers that made me possible, there are many. I was based on a number of off the shelf programs and materials that were already available, but that was back when Alex was only twelve. Since then, I evolved as he learned. When I began helping him with his research, the refinement of the neural interfaces for organics became a critical leap. When some of that technology was combined with positronic elements and then secured through programming that we designed...well...perhaps this is not the best time and place for such things. It is also for Alex to decide who should know some of those details, so it would be inappropriate for me to elaborate too deeply. I suppose that much as there are certain secrets about your symbiotic selves that are not shared, you can understand why it is perhaps best if some things remain secret."
With a glance at the Bridge, she changed the subject, "You have much to do, Commander. With your permission, perhaps I'll see if I can assist in preparations until we know more about the possible mission parameters."
She then waited to be sure that the FO or CO dismissed her before retreating to speak with Alex. She may not officially be a member of Star Fleet, but she still conducted herself as if she were an assigned member of the crew and had obviously had experience of doing so on a ship. There were some Lieutenants that less military bearing and sense for protocols, not to mention the customs and courtesies that accompany life on a starship like the one they were on. At the party and in other comments, it had been mentioned that Cindy had served with more than one crew as a functioning member on the ships that Alex had served on, yet there were almost no official records about it. There were only small mentions in evaluations about interactions with crew and that there were mostly favorable field tests of Talion's creations. The only detailed reports were from a Lt Sturnok Val, a former Chief of Security from the Chin'toka. It seemed that he actually used Cindy to help train his people in simulation on the holodeck, along with two others only listed as Sarah and Skye.
